benji93:
No do this now. Some people are probably scavenging the internet for stats now.

raumdeuter:
Maybe Brazzo fit think say na another Mbappe wey no one reason

Remember when you first mentioned Mbappe in 2017

This is a very big gamble on an untested 17yr old, he either becomes the next Mbappe or the next hyped teen flop

We will see

Khanben:
Agreed that nobody dominates every game, but why is it expected of this current generation. All it takes is 1 ok/average game for someone to call a great player a choker or some other name. As for the Glove, whenever both he and MJ were on the court it was 1v1, when the bulls were on the offensive

Details of the trade

The Celtics offered Brown, guard Derrick White and a draft pick to the Nets for Durant, sources said. The proposal was rejected, and Brooklyn has asked Boston — in any proposal — to include Brown, Defensive Player of the Year Marcus Smart, draft picks and potentially one more rotation player, those sources added. Currently, the Celtics are less inclined to include Smart along with multiple other player or pick assets, but the franchise is mulling over next steps on how to approach discussions.

As of right now, the Celtics have emerged as a serious possibility as a landing spot for Durant. They have tremendous interest in bringing him in and view him as a piece that could take them over that final hurdle. Although there is work to be done, there is a deal to be had that would suffice the Nets’ overwhelming ask.

Khanben:
Gary only guarded him after game 3, so out of the 3 games they went 1v1, he got the better of MJ from a defensive standpoint 2x.

PS: I am just using this as an example to those who always talk as if the OGs dominated every game, steph and a lot of the current stars have just one or two okay games in a series and people get on their case as if they are supposed to score 40 every single night.

Khanben:
Thank God you used the word staff, do you know what every other staff in every other industry can do whenever they want as long as they give notice, they can move to other companies. Freedom of movement in pursuit of professional fulfillment is a right of every human employee has, except it seems for sports stars.
as long as a team can trade away a player under contract anytime they want, then players should also have the same right to demand a trade whenever they want.
In every other industry, we see it all the time, top guys moving from one company to another while earning millions, but a sports stars tries it and it is derided as if the end of the world is nigh.

PS: when did sports become the only exception to capitalist principles?

birdman:
That is what nfl players used to think, until they were convinced otherwise.

In a fair business climate, your scenario is possible. Players have the goods, and can sell to the highest bidder in a capitalist society.

Unfortunately, big business does not work this way. In the case of the NBA, the owners have huge advantages like TV rights, backroom deals and buddy networks that include lawmakers, that ensure any usurper will fail. To make a parallel league to the NBA, you need to get an equivalent amount of rich billionaires to buy in to even have a chance to succeed. It is those billionaires that will wage war with the NBA to make sure parallel league succeeds.

If you doubt this, go count how many competitors google alone has killed in the last 5 years. Set aside a couple of hours to read the list

Khanben:
In the three NBA Finals games in which Payton drew the primary Jordan assignment, His Airness averaged only 23.7 points per game on 36.7 percent shooting from the field. In Chicago's first 15 playoff games, Jordan averaged 32.1 points on 47.6 percent shooting.

PS: Just putting it out there because we have a lot of revisionist history majors.

FirstbornWds:
All these shalayes are just a testament of pain. Nothing more.

Look at you comparing Benz but you forget that same Benz had the likes of Vini Jnr in the UCL that wasn't just a mobile winger but creative too that could combine well to give a goal. You forgot the tactical changes that Ancelotti employed to bring Rodrygo in that caused a penalty that Benz converted. You forgot the never-aging Modric that could spot a run and still drag defenders out of position to lay it. Let's not forget how he combines well with Benz to press keepers and defenders to make mistakes.

But no now.. The pain of what you have lost is bigger than that.

Lewy is gone... Just deal with it!!

airmark:
Boathand flopped everywhere except when Neuer was at his peak rescuing him.

Belotti?

FergieRaww:
The price isn't too much for a potential world class talent, we got Vini & Rodrygo for 40mil at that same age

BlaqFaze:
Dis one just dey waste space for Nairaland...e sure for una, na why una shamelessly sell part of club after boasting 100% fan ownership...scared of Hoffenheim because you can't stand competition

Smart well run club means selling part of your club but Barca selling tv rights is a bad thing...then Leipzig and Hoffenheim are not smartly run

You nor shame talk of greatest players...una own literally fought to be with Barca, so much insult wey una chop, Nagelsmann is yet to recover

BlaqFaze:
Lol...broke calling someone broke...you guys had to sell part of your club to repay loans and fund your stadium...you don't have money for transfers even... literally had to wait to get money from a broke club before you signed your number 1 target but you're calling someone else broke.

Spend the last cash you have to win Bundesliga that's a successful season...

airmark:
So they even considered Boathand as Flop of the season in France.

Raumdeuter and A40 should start worshipping me on football matters.

BlaqFaze:
Bayern wan turn selling club like Benfica in other to survive... Dem nor get money sef, the small one wey Barca give dem, dem waste am untop one Defender

andrewbaba44:
Una looseguard konate sha

With the transfer fee he has been commanding he should be above average at least

I can give you young defenders currently better than him

Ghost?
That's funny coming from a Bayern fan who saw first hand how Thiago dominated the 2020 CL final...
Also He made the PL team of the season as well as putting in many incredible performances all through the season..
Seriously there's nothing better than an on- song Thiago alcantara,
He's like poetry...
Deft touches, no look passes, etc...
I judge most people's football knowledge on their opinion of Thiago

raumdeuter:
Juventus reports Deligt transfer

67M payable in 4yrs

kendrick93:
He was still the only to score tho...
So not sure how you can put the Villarreal Loss on him...
His record for Poland is 76g in 136app...not bad considering Poland are minnows in European football

Oh happy day! Giving out 2 x AU$50 Visa Gift cards. Can be used anywhere Visa card is accepted.
DM for details, if you need one that is.
Shalom.

kendrick93:
Ronaldo is definitely slowiy down.
Lewa hasn't shown any signs of slowing down ATM..
Besides you're ain't getting rid rather he's one dumping you guys

kendrick93:
Lewa isn't just any star player though..
He's a Bayern legend, in the conversation for Greatest bayern players ever..
I think you guys flirting with Haaland was the last straw..
Then again there are no sentiments in football just as Lewa found out...
If a club can't be loyal to a player then the club and it's fans shouldn't expect loyalty from the player

kendrick93:
Let's see what these guys can do without Lewa this season...
Na here we go dey when lamentation go start..
Lewa didn't score but you're forgetting his numerous assists against Chelsea...
His presence alone strikes fear and the others feed on those spaces vacated due to all attention on Lewa..
There's a reason we have Stars and carry alongs...
Lewa is a star, remove that star and suddenly all eyes will be on those support groups, now will they rise up or shrink...
Some players are comfortable being the support guys...
Naso Liverpool do when Suarez left...
Sturridge quality player he was but he crumbled when Suarez left..
Sturridge actually scored more in big games than Suarez when they were both playing and some were deceived by all that...
Remember what happened when Lewa missed the PsG game and what thereafter..
Well at least you've got Mane

kendrick93:
Meet me when we're ten games in to the season....

For now the rest are Twitter noises
Naso Don troll Thiago now where are they
