Therapist on City while Messi plays at PSG is fitting. Petroclubs rule the world. RIP football

 

[Armada]

They’re not really CL contenders with him, and are still Serie A favorites without. They’ve already reaped the commercial benefits. With Covid still impacting things (and no super league ) I can see why they want to offload him.

City should just sign him while they wait on Kane to expire. Also Kane and his agent are fools for not getting a release clause and relying on a verbal agreement.

I doubt he was actually offered to us sky just doing a Chris Broussard. “According to reports” been none from serious places.
The Juventus and Ronaldo situation is wild to me though. They really went in and felt like he was the missing piece and it just hasn’t worked. Not because of Ronaldo though he’s still been great.

I fully agree on that last part about Kane and his agent. Should’ve asked for a release clause.

 

[MetalMario]

I saw Roma’s new kits and thought it said Digable Planets smh lol

 

[Bantz Lord T]

For what it’s worth, any time I’m asked for a release clause in FIFA manager mode I tell the player to pound sand

 

[arstyle27]

Those puma 3rd kits are horrible

 

[cs02132]

I guess to be fair to Ramsdale. I haven't looked at his stats or really how he plays.
We focus on the fact that two teams he has been on have been relegated, but I wonder how much of that was on him. Did he have complete bums in front of him?
Still think they over paid and there are better keepers, but I'll wait to call him a bum...... Unless yall know he is for a fact.

My thoughts exactly
Don’t remember him or Ben white when we played against their teams

I saw on ig they might be trying to sign ramsdale in order to make the necessary homegrown British quota

 

[HNL HI]

since people was talking Primera clubs

Im seeing a lot of dislike on the puma kits. There has to be one guy in here that secretly in love with em!

 

[Bosa]

In all seriousness i think valencia looks best bcz no obnoxious big sponsor on front. Still wacky training kit vibes tho. Italy in euros looked turrrrible

The clause lets you get away with offering a lower salary. When you’re a broke club, like when I’m running it with my yellow subs, sometimes you got no choice but to accept the clause (and then have a save file ready to be a cowardly cheat when a big club pries away your 90 rated Kimmich that has no business being on Villarreal in the first place.)

What’s crazy is city didn’t think to just use both the Kane and graelish money to sign haaland.

That’s because Pep runs the club. He wants shiny things now, now, now.

Instead of just waiting and making the right move. It’s not a surprise, he’s always been like this.

 

[fluid hips]

On the real though what’s really up with Ronaldo situation rn? Do Juventus not really want him anymore?

Cristiano just wants attention

Mans felt left out with Messi getting all the spotlight the past two weeks

Haaland is overrated.

Looks good playing mediocre bundesliga teams then quiet as a mouse when he plays Bayern, which is a clear indication that he is average against a competent team

 

[AZwildcats]

He’s scored a few goals against Bayern

 

[fluid hips]

He’s scored a few goals against Bayern

But did they win

 

[Belgium]

Haaland is overrated.

First of all he plays for Dortmund, who lost the past 7 games against Bayern. His service also declined as Sancho is no longer there to deliver so many chances for Haaland.
Look at how he did in the CL. Even from just watching him against bad teams, you can tell from the quality of the finishing, the positioning, the runs, … that he really has the goods. I don’t think he’s overrated.

But did they win

It’s Dortmund…

 

[AZwildcats]

But did they win

No, but he hasn't been quiet as a mouse in his games against them

 

[Belgium]

No, but he hasn't been quiet as a mouse in his games against them

Played well and scored a brace against PSG in the CL too. Pretty sure he still has quite a few more CL goals than CL matches played.

 

[Coupé It]

When I see the Man City kit I read it like…

“Man City - brought to you by Etihad Airways”

 

[whtascene]

The colour combination is just awful, questionable judgement on whoever designed and approved it.

Blatant money grab obviously don't need a fourth kit.



Armani into football kits now, which ironically doesn't seem to have much design elements to it.

Bunch of grown men targeting younger cats because they're p*ssy. And if any of the older black players witnessed this and never stepped in they a bunch of **** too.

This is one thing about Chelsea that makes my blood boil.
