And Walker the only one worth it :lol:
TAA would be up there if Liverpool would somehow ever sell.
I would drop $70-80 without a hesi.

Englands pretty loaded in RB, Walker, TAA, Wan-Bissaka, Trippier, I kind of even rate Maitland-Niles at times too.
 
To be fair, I felt like they tried to follow Madrid with the Galactico signing route, and as you can see it has not worked out well for them(Hasn't worked well for Madrid either, but they keeping winning La farma). At least with Madrid, even though they spend big, they are certain that their finances are in order before they do so. Coutinho is a great player, but he can't play in the midfield the way Barca wants him to play. He is better suited on the Wings. Griezman is an okay purchase, but not necessarily what they immediately needed. Has not warranted his transfer price. Dembele is immature and injury-prone. In fact, Umtiti is great defensively, but he is injury prone. They should have either sold him and grabbed 2 other defenders. They pushed Arthur out because of bad finances. The list goes on.

agreed that the galactico formula disappointed for RM. Should have won 5 CLs in a row instead of a measley 4/5 :smh:

I was speaking in terms of recent years. Technically speaking, only one of them actually contributed to that. The one y'all despise so much. Much of the recent ones haven't panned out so well (James, Jovic, Hazard, etc).
 
Y'all gassing up coutinho.

Son came on late in the game with fresh legs against a defense in shambles with tired legs on top of it. Mans shoulda had a hat trick. Nothing less
 
Upvoted for AYSO.

I’m for seeing a great generation of English NT because they finally embraced that the best league is not in England and that they should go abroad to develop. And TAA is holding that RB spot tough

 
Barca is not going anywhere as long as Messi is on the squad.
You can easily build and add pieces around Messi.
Just by replacing Pique, Busquets, and Llenglet you are back in the Semis next year.
Now if Messi leaves...then it's a different ball game.
 
I don't know much about these things but is Alphonse Davies best position really Left Back?


he seems pretty over qualified for that given his offensive skills,

You have to take into account that these Covid19 times have a significant impact on clubs' finances. I don't recall off the top of my head so correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't Barca already struggling with huge debt before the impact of the coronavirus?

I don't know if it's his best position but I do think he's far more useful to Bayern as a leftback. There are many great attacking players, wingers etc. Top tier fullbacks on the other hand are much rarer.

They are but so are all the teams in Europe. Most teams are another shutdown away from going bankrupt. Even PSG asked for pay cuts from staff during covid19... their owners are filthy rich.
They dont have to sign the best defenders in the world. They just need decent defender/def mids that are younger and hungrier than Busquets and Pique.

He's actually a hell of a 1 on 1 defender and has an amazing standing tackle. Plus his recovery speed makes him a great full back. He actually said he prefers to play LB now over LW.
