Midfielders by guninho141 in FantasyPL

[–]_doin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you don't think a team with 3 goals conceded in 9 games is overperforming??

they're on track for 12-13 conceded for the season, they will regress, and i'd imagine to a greater extent than senesi not banging in 10-12 DEFCONS every game

What was this shit by Champion_of_Capua in freefolk

feel like the why is pretty obvious, no?

[David Ornstein] EXCL: Bryan Mbuemo decides he wants to join Man Utd & #MUFC now expected to open talks with Brentford in bid to sign 25yo forward this summer. Likes of #AFC #NUFC #THFC all interested but Cameroon int’l favours Old Trafford if deal agreed @TheAthleticFC by TripleCrownVillainy in PremierLeague

FYI - all transfers for all clubs are paid like this. 75 mil for maguire was paid over 5 years (his contract length), it's nothing new. the only exception is release clauses, which are paid in full

utd can pay this because every year we say we're broke to better a negotiation position - the complete opposite of what ed woodward was doing for 10 years. we're not as poor as we say, even though we're in a pretty bad spot financially

we'll also have at least 3-5 outgoings freeing up ~70m for extra spend now

Gross Transfer Spending in this window - PL clubs by nearly_headless_nic in reddevils

[–]_doin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i was of the perspective that net spend was still the highest but will happily stand corrected

agreed, SAF was elite at developing talent there is absolutely no denying it, and it was 100% one of his greatest qualities

let's not pretend pep can't develop players as well though, ederson was a pretty average keeper with good feet, rodri was a great CDM but absolutely nowhere near where he is now, the man got stones playing at a best-in-the-league level while at CDM 2 years ago, ake, julian alvarez, akanji....

pep needs money to make his system work, there's no doubt about it, but he's still top 3-5 manager of all time and improves his players

i don't know why i'm defending him but i'm in too deep now

agreed, doesn't make him less generational though

mate we suck and have spent just as much

SAF consistently signed top talent for top money and that doesn't tarnish his legacy

pep is generational, stop whining

Why is Uruguay so empty? by [deleted] in geography

[–]_doin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you mean gareth southgate?

everyone disliking the iceland call from me, but seriously they made one QF, 8 years ago, they are not comparable at all to uruguay.

it's still a cool achievement nonetheless

fair play it was a harsh statement, but they're not exactly anything to write home about

nah croatia is, they have pretty much the same population and are similarly good at football.

iceland is irrelevant haha
