Sounds a lot like our 50M€ signing, Rafael Leao..

Why 27 games? Is it such a fun number? Or was it maybe screw with the numbers in your favor?

CDK: 26 goal-contributions in 2998 minutes
Leao: 25 goal-contributions in 3499 minutes
Yes, 26 goal contributions in 50 games seems like a great return, no? Well, lets deep dive a little bit:

5 g+a against 36th place Young Boys
3 g+a against 14th place Verona
2 g+a against Serie B Cesena
2 g+a against 20th place Monza
2 g+a against 30th place Sturm Graz
2 g+a against 18th place Empoli

This is 16 g+a in stat-padding games against literal fodder teams. Take out these, and you have 44 games with Atalanta, with 10 g+a. In fact, if we even count national team games, CDK played 44(!!) games last season where he didn't even register a single g+a. 44!

This guy is inconsistent as hell, stat-padding against fodder, but useless in 85% of the games. We were fooled once with a player like this - Chukwueze in his last Villareal season managed to get no goals or assists in 30 league games.

I don't get why some people are still in love with CDK. He is an inconsistent beta cuck, a pussy, who showed he doesn't have the character to be a champion. Even now, when "on paper" he has great numbers, but if you take a closer look at it, you see that he is a fool's gold player. We made a good deal with getting rid of him for 25 mil. It was a necessary loss mitigation.

Capello, Sacchi... that almost never works.. Allegri will pissed us all, but I have hopes, always.

I love the Balkan members on this board. The only group who don’t rate their players at all. :lol:
No, quite the opposite, there are quite a few Shqips(especially ones from Diaspora, I suspect Alo88 may be a diaspora Albo) who have been low-key shilling the Albanian players we have been linked to
I'm the only one who is actively shitting on any links to Albanian players tbh

We are making progress on both tracks.
Possible news as early as today.

I really like Gabbia as a locker room guy, as a bench player…

… but nothing, really nothing screams more mediocrity than Gabbia as starting Center Back.

U’ve a really confused perception of football. Everything that is white n Italian is rated much higher.
Yeah, that's probably true but I see Gabbia as more reliable than the others, not as flashy or athletic but safer, capable tackler that blocked some shots on goal, is good in the air and works hard. Maybe not starting material on a big club but useful as a reserve at least.

At the moment we're an 8th place team out of Europe so we have a lot of work to do to get back among the bigs, a good transfer window is fundamental for us, can't miss. Gabbia is someone we should keep if nothing else for the quotas and the fact that he recently renewed until 2029 at 2.2 million per season.

Brugge will give us hell won't they?
I'd pay 25-30 mllion for him though
This guy has 3 goals in 10 matches for Belgian NT as fullback, he's a scoring machine
He literally has more goals than CDK(2 goals in 21 matches for Belgian NT playing as a forward :fp:) and more than Theo(2 goals in 38 matches for France NT)

He seems to have the goals locked in that's for sure, not sure how good he is when it comes to defending though, although I love offensive fullbacks

Prize money already set, but the income from the CWC about to tank.
Needless to say, it's been a big failure.

Gazidis is a professional. He doesn't wash dirty linen afterwards.

Probably the best CEO we've ever had n we've had a lot of grumbling about him n so on. I believe he’d still be here had it not been for his cancer. Under him, you‘d feel how the club was constantly developing at all levels.
Someone who overuse Growth Decree, someone who according to Paolo never sit on the the same table alongside Paolo _Ricky to discuss the issues and their respective ways to sort it out 🤨 yeah biggest CEO ever 😑

We're getting rid of the English and getting back the Belgians with Salae and De Cuyper which I don't mind. What I don't understand is how supposedly good players are bought by other teams at pretty low prices, like the Como kid or Coppola and others, but when it comes to our targets they demand 30+ mils no matter what league they play at.

And their women as well they don’t rate

Today I learned that Dua Lipa is ugly
DuaLipa-byPhilipRomano.jpg

This is her photo from her wiki page, so not cherrypicked.
She is ugly. If you down the street you will immediately see somebody who looks 1000 times better.
It's amazing how the media brainwashes people to think ugly people are good looking.
Even her sister looks better than her tbh.

Our ''celebs''(actresses, singers etc.) have never been the best looking anyways save for a few... Yllka Gashi comes to mind.
