absolutely crazy this. So much money yet absolutely no sense.

It’s going to be interesting to see how they play against Liverpool. Sink or swim time for them.

This has to go down as one of the worst interviews a footballer has ever given since the one that got Roy Keane booted from United.

Just to help you maintain that dislike of them

Great example from a member of the cabinet.

I thought Gundogan was actually Turkish who lived in Germany?

Yeah, that’s why he plays for Germany.

It's same case as Ronaldo, not talent wise. They both have the same problem like your describe but their weakness will be covered by our superior and tireless midfielder to provide support for them creating chances and pressing while they can easily just waiting to get serviced and get a goal.

But they only can be effective against mid and lower table side which their superior finishing is helpfull to kill game faster in first half. So yeah not that great and pretty limited but they can still helpfull and provide an option for Pep.

Yeah totally agree.

That is also why I am more interested in Kane/Haaland instead of Vlahovic.

Kane and Haaland are very much a team player with humble attitude even when they are more talented than their teammates. I have seen many cases when Vlahovic shouted at his teammates threw water bottle when he was angry etc...

If he bags the winner on Sunday there'll not be many grumbles around the stadium to be fair

Probably not but I think he'll have to carry us to some success for the fans to look the other way. Costa wanted out at some point too, even when on strike when he started feuding with Conte. The fans love him because he helped us win 2 titles.

No way on this God's earth did City want to sign this useless lump, same with Magliar.

Don't know. Lukaku's words. I don't really see a reason for him lie about it though.

 

[andyhinch]

Yeah, that’s why he plays for Germany.

Could be a clue in that somewhere :-)

 

[Vialli98]

I don't get why he wasn't in the side. I saw he had recovered and yet unused on the bench.

Tuchel's view was that he wasn't ready yet.
