The Rumour Commode XLVIII: Tare Tare Sauce

[Allan_Sombrero]

Even if you make it 18, I think Pato is the last striker to really start consistently for a top level team at 18, he would have started for us at 17, but Italian rules meant he had to wait until he turned 18. Haaland went to Dortmund at 19, but the gap between Haaland at 17 and 19 was pretty huge.

I think it is harder to play at a young age in central positions, CB, CM, and ST than it is on the wings, like full-backs, wingers.


Endrick is a good shout, I didn't write it, but in my mind I thought of someone who consistently starts, but Endrick makes sense.

Maybe it's also harder for young strikers with far less teams playing with two strikers compared to just 10ish years ago?

I just think strikers are not only rarer these days, but I think they take more time to develop, in general.

Any CB that starts at a big team you know is a generational talent.

You have to be so disciplined every minute of the game and that's what separates the good from the great.

No sammyboy, Pato is not the last 18 year old striker to consistently play for a top club
Mbappe at Monaco was more recent

yeah I've said this a few times

Yamal and other wingers has distorted people's perception of young talents

You watch Camarda and you can tell how far away he is physically from impacting the game centrally

Daniele Bonera was a starter at Milan once upon a time.

 

[Massaro94]

We already had that - "players without talent that got the basics done".

It was called the banter era.
And Maldini got us out of that by signing players with talent.

If they could have gotten the basics done then there would not have been a banter era.

Maldini also lost a lot of talent and lumbered us with some dead weight. Hence why in his last season we finished 5th and he was unceremoniously given the boot from the yanks

Saw the exact opposite vs Monza

 

[Fusiproe12]

Daniele Bonera was a starter at Milan once upon a time.

Never

 

[grandeacm2]

Never

Pretty sure he was, when Nesta got injured or somebody else. And also some season in banter era.
We had a lot of crappy CBs over the years. Gabriel Paletta for example was starter.

 

[Massaro94]

Its literally impossible to get rid of Maignan, Theo and Lmeao

I don't blame Tare

It's definitely.impossible to get rid of le donkey due to the huge salary pablo gave him

With that being said the French aren't on high wages so. However nobody wants to touch theo...and all the top clubs have gk spot sorted aside.from Bayern.

 

[vB9]

Lyon

how old was Benzema when he started playing there

I meant young CB but even then you dare taint the name of GOATnera?

 

[Deep Fried Pizza & Chips]

This may be true for lesbians that are not fat.
Fat lesbians are universally considered to be unacceptable in civilized society
Stephanie the little porker

So I think I'm pretty inclusive and open minded, but... I speak with lots of straight girls about the fact that lots of lesbians go out their way to look like boys/men, then use dildos or strap ons or whatever to fuck their girlfriends... Surely that's like wanting a hamburger and settling for a Quorn meat free thing?

Also, when girls say they're lesbian but still sleep with guys now and again, you're fucking bi!!!

It's like being a lesbian opens doors and gives you some sort of edge to your otherwise pretty boring life?

Why is being bisexual not as acceptable?

Bisexual girls are the best, and usually don't look like weird beardless men that talk funny.

Oh and Stephanie is definitely a rug muncher... Who said she was cute the other day?

 

[Massaro94]

Call me crazy, but he does go down as a legend. Purely on goals scored. Is he our highest goal scoring defender? For me, better than Serginho and only 2nd to Maldini as best LB.

You didn't specify young CB

That said... Bonera was starter at Brescia at 19 with Baggio, Pirlo, Hubner, Galli and

 

Igli Tare

 

[Mr. Anonymous]

That was a nouveau riche club in the most successful and wealthy league in football by leaps and bounds.

Saudi league attendance has actually dropped over the last couple of seasons.

Like I said let's see what's happening with the league in 15 years from now if they keep on throwing this type of money around.

Memes aside, Bonera was a serviceable player.

We need more players with his attitude. Too many divas nowadays.

well, the money wont run out thats for sure. their goal is to sumhow play in CL... if that happens, interest wont die out

 

[Massaro94]

Agree people are ungrateful af when it comes to Leão, Theo, and Maignan. Like it or not, they’re still among the few real quality players we have left. The problem isn’t them, it’s the messed-up management and the toxic environment around the club dragging everything down. These guys are proven winners. If we want to become a real powerhouse again, we need to build around them, not treat them like liabilities. Sure, new signings like Ricci might be easier to slot into the system, but let’s be honest, they haven’t proved anything yet. At best, they’re solid Roma-level players, not game-changers. We need to get serious about maximizing our top talent instead of scapegoating them for everything going wrong.

Really???

Party started & closed & we missed it

Worst news I've ever read in my life

We are Real to Lecce

 

[Samaldinho]

for the1st part

if yr good enough... Pedri, Rio as defender

Yeah, if you're good enough, you play. If you're a Maldini, a R9, a Pele, a Maradona, yes, you play, but I fear that the obsession with youth and potential clouds the judgment of many fans.

They're willing to throw players away once they turn 19 or 20, not every player is going to be starting at that age.

Any CB that starts at a big team you know is a generational talent.

You have to be so disciplined every minute of the game and that's what separates the good from the great.

Totally, CB requires so much reading of the game, to see what is unfolding, and to organize and lead from that spot.

yeah I've said this a few times

Yamal and other wingers has distorted people's perception of young talents

You watch Camarda and you can tell how far away he is physically from impacting the game centrally

Yamal has become the refrain whenever a youth player isn't ready to start at 17-19, which has become tiresome. Youth teams go up to U23's for a reason, and while U21 is the more conventional cut-off, the idea that a player should be the finished article at 22 and at their peak is lunancy. So many would toss aside Dembele or Vitinha (especially), and both now are championed, it's funny to me.

I'm impressed at how he plays, how he sees the game, he does all the text-book things that show he sees the game well. The few games I've seen him against his peers, he's been impressive, who knows what he will become, but I don't think excitement over his potential is misplaced.

 

[Massaro94]

ppl who talk about Theo being a good player in the present tense might be the most delusional fans in the sport.

I've said it before

The orphans are a special bunch.

The way they will speak about a player depends totally on who signed him. Presidente...or our former SD

didnt we buy sum 19/20yo? played them once or twice & then sold them... fecking dests (management, not players). you need conviction in yrself to play kids

 

[Massaro94]

I'm not the biggest fan of 2025 vlahovic but regarding his wages: no club itw is rushing to pay him the same he's making rn. Realistically he's a 4m/yr player maybe w some bonuses 5.5m tops-tops. throw him a sign on bonus so he doesn't miss out on the juve contract money and that's it

I don't think "oh man he won't take under 10m" cause literally nobody on this earth except maybe aramco would give him that

Wtf... he's on 10M+

And people think the Ronaldo signing messed up juve

 

[patosheva]

Jashari 40 mil hihihi brugges thinks this is paolo not frulani cunt he woulnt pay that for prime messi

Its why you always build a team from the back and up. You can have the best midfield and attack but that means shit if you cant shut out the other team (looking at Man City).
