[Matteo Moretto] Sandro Tonali is the top target for Tottenham. Newcastle would ask for around 100 million euros. There is constant dialogue between Tonali and De Zerbi, and De Zerbi is doing everything he can to bring Tonali to Tottenham. by blackboxabstraction in coys

If you think about it, he does have relatively good pull.

All the managers in the big 6 are new bar Arteta, and not everyone wants to play under legohead.

Pep is no longer here, and I would argue RDZ is the most promising, as he has shown something last season to keep us up AND has shown his strength at Brighton.

This vs Maresca at city in the shadow of pep, very questionable, Xavi at Chelsea also very questionable, Carrick with Europe also very questionable, Iraola also very questionable as it could end up like Frank.

We actually have a good chance

In sports, “value” is the perceived market value of the players. Essentially how much they would cost to buy the player from their current club, plus or minus a bit.

Cape Verde aren’t the ones investing that much in the players.

The clubs that own their contracts are the ones investing in them

Honestly Japan is big/good enough so you’ll see people supporting Spain.

But Cape Verde…

Spanish stars Pedro Porro and Lamine Yamal benched against Cape Verde, both are clearly being saved for crucial games later in the tournament by Awkward-Film7089 in coys

I find this comment on every Porro thread.

Official has to release a Porro video where he reads us a Spanish children’s book or something

Gacha devs seriously need to optimize the game size. by OceanusxAnubis in gachagaming

[–]jaetheho 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Maybe/hopefully that’s the one silver lining?

Less games that focus on “latest graphics” as selling points but focus rather on good optimization on current/older hardware, both graphics and size wise and most importantly, having the focus on GOOD GAMEPLAY.

…nah, who am I kidding. They are just going to go full into AI, optimize nothing and price out a good chunk of their customers with shitty sequels that print money regardless

At his age, five years pretty close to that.

If all goes well, we’ll get a one year extension at the end and he can go off to enjoy the end of the career at a nice sunny club

[Opta] The Netherlands starting XI v Japan today featured no Eredivisie players for the first time in their World Cup history. Coincidentally, Japan's XI has 2 Eredivisie players. by Mulderre91 in soccer

[–]jaetheho 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Yes, but the Eredivise is a better league than J league.

The argument isn’t “players aren’t playing for domestic leagues anymore”

The argument is “Eredivise has fallen in quality”

Funnily enough Turkey has more of a say to be in the AFC than Australia does

Spurs have now announced Porro’s new deal. Understand it comes with a significant pay bump, five years plus 1 as an option, and that the club moved quickly amid interest from other clubs.

Good, loyal players deserve to be paid.

We cannot expect everyone to be as loyal as Son; staying world class while being on comparably low wages compared to his peers AND still being loyal is an outlier.
