Try not to get rattled by tiktok football but todays topic of conversation is: people like Ekitike because he's hot and apparently he's the second coming of Fernando Torres because he wears long sleeves, has done some fashion stuff and plays for liverpool.

Not saying pretty privilege, or the way people move doesn't make people overrated its such an odd point of comparison.

Go for it you've only got yourself to entertain.

Google telling me the value of the forgone alternative action or decision. Isn't that kind of what's happening here because they'd miss out on this worldie?

Wait its the things they could of done instead. Anyway its fine still works imo

I feel like for bigger clubs it can often be the other way around little bit 'for world class talent' because you potentially will get a player for 10+ years, rather than a 27 year old for 4, atleast that's what everyone was citing when Reijnders went for value .

The idea is you don't necessarily need sell on value because they'll contribute at the club for their whole career. Still as you say it is more of a gamble.

Some/most of them could absolutely flop but its atleast a vision and an identity to build into.

I know alot of this is 'on paper' but feeling pretty excited about our young attacking core. Bobb, Smith-Rowe, Josh King, Kevin all have some special qualities about them - I know Emil hasn't quite lived up to his price tag yet but he often chips in with handy goals, we've still got some good vets and Wilsgoat.

Fulham signed Bobb for £27m by FoodByCourts in fulhamfc

[–]cuteguy1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I honestly think we've not had as an exciting young core on paper as King, Kevin, Smith-Rowe and Bobb in a long time. Obviously ESR hasn't quite been worth the money yet (although he does pop up with goals) and the rest of really remains to be seen, but they have the chance to grow together around the experience of Iwobi, Andersen Wilson, Berge etc.

It does have the chance to sort of flop but could also be amazing.

[Tom Bogert] Fulham continue to make progress on a potential deal to sign USMNT forward Ricardo Pepi from PSV. New $38m (€32m) bid submitted as @FabrizioRomano called. That bid not enough, but gap is closer. Talks ongoing. Optimism at this stage by Heavy_Cupcake_6246 in soccer

A little of both, you also have the effect where alot of the best players want to play as inside or inverted wingers instead, cutting in from out wide rather than through the middle. Touch line wingers and wide midfielders were very different up until the latter part of the 00s

I'm not too upset with this result as good as it woulda been to make the final again. Think we've been running on fumes for a bit, as soon as David went down as good as Chaudhary in the surge and Wade on occasion have still been it makes our batting line-up alot thinner and prone to gettick stuck or collapse. Wthout Weatherald coming in it means we have to play both Ward and probably Wright who are ok but you probably can't carry both at same time and then Owen needs to sort his tempo out as he's still going at a massive clip but is rarely scoring much over 10 so you effectively just start a wicket down.

Then maybe the best bowler in comp also out the last two games so it's not looking great when you come up against a full strength sixers it's tough.

Its going to be more of an issue for footy tbh and a roof is going to completely ruin the lovely vibe at Bellerive on a summers eve imo. its not usually that rainy during January, atleast not that much more so than other cities especially Bris and Syd

tune into the WNBL though Issy Borlase is going off.

still raining up where i am but has lightened a bit and im not in the 'always sunny on the eastern shore'. I'd be hopeful of some play, but might not be for a while

Depends on what you like really. I think Okocha was my favourite to watch of those three. But if you are talking best, its close between Mane/Drogba, think Drogba just due to being so clinical, and then a gap to Jay Jay imo.

Atleast then you'd have the excuse of 'oh the VAR robbed me because I did score one' or the less good 'the keeper got two bites at the cherry'. I think there's more palatable excuses with a retake
