then don't write so many words
would the data also show that if Jota, Salah, Alisson, VVD were signed (in the same order) from Atletico, Chelsea, internatcional and Celtic ... with the same emphasis of "suiting the team" and a clear policy of getting them to their full potential...meaning allowing them those 1-2 formative seasons of "non extraordinary" would have not produced returns.?
that "will only get you to a certain point" i don't buy it one bit... so far teams that adopt that strategy have a clear status of stepping stone...their model is clearly to buy talent, develop and sell. not to hold
no big clubs that has the aura and money to hold on to their talents until maturity to reap the reward has had the balls to commit to it...we could be the first.
Maybe Bayern CL winner 2012 -13 ... with players like Dante for less than 1m Lahm Muller Alaba kroos, Schweinstieger also purchased for a less than 1m but for the youth (except the last 1, for a few mil)... then there was low fee pick ups of Can, Van buyten , rafinha for less than 10m. Mandzukic for a little more...still.
their "expensive" signing would have been their two iconic star... 1 bought from Marseille (which is like us buying Renato or Botman) and the other was an undesirable at R.Madrid) ... so those tranfers we already do.
it's about comitting to the plan. there is no glass ceiling preventing from getting there...in 3-4 years holding to the core of these players while slowly adding more of the same (well scouted talented, fitting the system, with the right head on their shoulders) i don't know imaginary obstacle is there to stop it from being a top team.
Thats another reason this wont happen.Holy shit. I'd go full congo and post my balls if this happens
Oh? You simpin for City now? Ah right forgot pep was your teams former coachHaaland at City will be scary. Their entire midfield is full of creative players.
Holy shit. I'd go full congo and post my balls if this happens
what a clown
I know his stats and seen his highlights.Go check his stats & come back to me.
He is close to 1 goal/game for club & nation rather if its CL or league.
Guy is a freak.
Give or take a few weeks is not going to ruin transfer plans. If anything there's probably going to be a lot more money at their disposal.I really hope our plans wont get fuck by the sale.
FFS dont ruin our summer.
Exactly. It will be HUGE for this team to win it now. It will launch them on a mental level into the decade to come.The thing is if we end up with the scudetto ahead of schedule, that would be huge for the young guys adjusting themselves to pressure, setting expectations for themselves and getting used to the feeling of winning. That is a very dangerous mentality to the rest of serie a, when you add that to a young and hungry team.
If we get robbed and end up 2nd, I still imagine the players will feel the injustice and come back with a vengeance. But that first step toward becoming a consistent winner is massive.
The first step is so important. If you fail you can certainly come back, but multiples failures add up and make a Tottenham or arsenal sort of thing, where there’s a stigma and the players create their own obstacles.Exactly.

We need to win this Scudetto, bro.The first step is so important. If you fail you can certainly come back, but multiples failures add up and make a Tottenham or arsenal sort of thing, where there’s a stigma and the players create their own obstacles.
We’ve seen a lot of talented but mentally weak players over the last decade. This team has already proven to us that they deserve the shirt, and winning the title only cements what the real fans know, plus a dick slap in the face to the league, fake “Milan” fans and to our rivals. That and a warning of what the next few years will be like
okkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
iirc he has a 60m release clause or somethingI cannot believe that people here don’t want this guy. We’re talking a 50 goal contribution player, he would be our best player and can play multiple positions at a great level. We don’t need to change our formation or play style for him, he’d only elevate this team.
I still don’t buy that 60 mil gets him. In todays world he is a 100 mil player.
Where would you play him in our setup?I cannot believe that people here don’t want this guy. We’re talking a 50 goal contribution player, he would be our best player and can play multiple positions at a great level.

If that’s true either Elliot or Investcorp needs to be all over thatiirc he has a 60m release clause or something
