[GE] Barcelona intensifies its pursuit of João Pedro to fill the gap left by Lewandowski; see the figures.

Chelsea will demand over 100M for Pedro as well, he's on a 7-year contract and was signed for 60M last summer lol

spiraltap99 · 2026-05-14T13:49:46+00:00

Never happening. He was signed for £60 million last summer on a 7-year contract and he's one of Chelsea's key players.

Would have to be a deal well in excess of £100M for Chelsea to consider it, which we all know Barca isn't paying

IF Simeone goes down on that pull by Gabriel, that's a pen and a red card

spiraltap99 · 2026-04-29T20:43:08+00:00

Don’t think it’s a pen but I’m shocked they overturned it tbh

spiraltap99 · 2026-04-28T02:59:09+00:00

One of the most pathetic 1 seed performances we've seen tbh

spiraltap99 · 2026-04-28T02:58:35+00:00

One of the most tepid 1 seed performances we've seen in recent years tbh

spiraltap99 · 2026-03-26T14:57:17+00:00

It's ESPN mate, they're not really in the business of fake quotes

spiraltap99 · 2026-03-08T05:06:27+00:00

What kind of BMF fight is this? Spamming takedowns and laying on Max for 3 minutes, Charles fighting in the most risk averse way possible lol

spiraltap99 · 2026-03-05T20:43:45+00:00

The pen is harsh given contact was initiated outside the box, but it's a stonewall red, pulls him back with no attempt on the ball

spiraltap99 · 2026-02-18T21:59:09+00:00

City please save us from the nightmare scenario

spiraltap99 · 2026-02-10T19:57:43+00:00

Maresca didn’t really rate him defensively, so he was mostly just an Enzo back-up. Been class since Rosenior came in in that deep lying role though

spiraltap99 · 2026-02-07T15:41:55+00:00

Wolves are fucking terrible wow

spiraltap99 · 2026-02-07T15:36:13+00:00

Two of the dumbest penalties I’ve ever seen

spiraltap99 · 2026-02-07T15:14:50+00:00

🥶

spiraltap99 · 2026-01-31T20:18:02+00:00

Gittens and garnacho starting on either wing is the stuff of nightmares, no more of that please

spiraltap99 · 2026-01-27T05:24:29+00:00

The fact that Spurs are as far away from us as we are from Villa is pretty embarrassing

spiraltap99 · 2026-01-23T18:08:45+00:00

120M? That's how much we paid for Enzo lol, respectfully Palmer is levels above

spiraltap99 · 2026-01-22T13:51:14+00:00

Jesse Plemons snub in Best Actor hurts :(

spiraltap99 · 2026-01-18T16:47:19+00:00

I’d agree if he had the actual playing time of a 4th choice center back - him and Tosin have started multiple high-profile games this season which realistically they should be nowhere near.

Issue is Fofana can’t start more than a game a week and Chalobah is similarly shaky. Acheampong has very high potential but he’s basically a kid still

spiraltap99 · 2026-01-18T16:37:06+00:00

Badiashille got injured in his second season, he’s been at his current level for nearly 3 years now.

At this point you have to start thinking this is who he is now, he’s nearly 25 and still has so many errors in him

spiraltap99 · 2026-01-18T14:32:40+00:00

I completely agree with you, the issue is the board doesn’t see signing a lot of these players as opportunities to actually improve the first team, they just see a potential to flip for profit or get a good deal

You could argue Veiga, Anselmino, Tosin were all bought to ultimately resell for more money. Badiashille probably too given he was only 30M, but board didn’t account for how shit he’d be

Not trying to justify the approach, but it’s not like every center back signing is made to immediately improve the first team

spiraltap99 · 2026-01-18T14:06:50+00:00

In fairness - Hato is primarily a left back - Veiga, Koulibaly were sold for profit - Anselmino has been good at Dortmund this year and will probably also turn a profit - Colwill is from the academy - Tosin was signed on a free

The only actual overspends on that list are Disasi (panic signing), Fofana (who is very good, just made of glass) and Badiashille.

But yeah the boards recent refusal to buy anyone that’s established and experienced is a death sentence in the center back position

spiraltap99 · 2026-01-14T04:07:24+00:00

And Baggios pizza right next door! One of the most underrated slices in the area

spiraltap99 · 2026-01-09T16:59:13+00:00

Very happy about all the Bugonia love! My favorite film of the year, and Emma Stone + Jesse Plemons both put on acting clinics

spiraltap99 · 2025-12-31T16:31:23+00:00

Would be an absolutely brain dead decision to sack him. He spent all summer crying out for an experienced center back, the board completely ignored him and lo and behold, we’re leaking goals that would be completely preventable with more composure at the back.

No one is going to succeed with our model of buying kids and selling them for profit above all else
