Bombblacks:
You are basically comparing a man deciding he wants to wear skirt or gown to having sex with children? Can you even hear yourself. You sound sick.

harsh language but for the first time in a long while (we last agreed on Hushpupi and the "law" ) that I will agree with you.

timbros:
How do they view him?

As thus: (picture) however his PR did a very good job on selling him as such so he would secure the United job. United were hesitant about hiring him because they knew he had won nothing even though he is a good operational manager/consultant of burgeoning teams.

timbros:
Klopp and Tuchel viewing him as the best means nothing. Klopp and Tuchel view Ralf as godfather too. Is he more successful than them?

They did not view Ralf* as their godfather. That is fictitious stuff.

Less than 2 hours left to this massive game. Who y'all got? I go with the home team but a close win. Chelsea to win 2-1 but Conté will get the better of Tuchel at the return leg and beat Chelsea 2-0 to eventually get to the finals where they will meet Arsenal.

Devvy4:
It’s funny how laportass is bragging on borrowed money

I feel he is pulling wool over people's eyes. No club will take a loan of 500M to fund the signing and salary of 1 player in such an unbalanced squad. It is just to keep the fans happy. Laporte is a sly man. He knew he could have kept Messi but he pretended there was no way just to justify why Messi had to leave even when Messi did not want to leave. Laporte slied Messi out of being a Barca player.

pu7pl3:
I believe it's a last ditch effort to keep good relations with PSG

It is because they can sign the player for free but Mbappe has been telling PSG that he wanted to go earlier so that they can profit from him leaving. Yet stubbornly they think they can convince him to stay in that dead league.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]How much were they going to pay him?[/color]

250k.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]How much is Ronaldo earning at United?

So Pep would buy Ronaldo, pay him 400k a week, and glue him to the bench?

[/color]

Manchester City were not going to pay Ronaldo 400k.

Leyqute:
We saw what happened when he didn’t have a fortified squad. Na top 4 e struggle to enter.

Did Manchester United struggle to enter top 4 last season?

KiIishihunter:
Why didn’t they include the likes of palmers for mancity, despite playing almost 5 games?

Because he was not registered with the first team. He still even plays for the youth team. Pep just started using him because City had injuries beginning of the season which many people conveniently forget.

nitrogen:
Lol. Go and check how City get transfers done under Guardiola. He is heavily involved. They dont impose players on him, he tells them the players to sign.

Which team imposes players on managers?

nitrogen:
Story. All players signed by Man City were on the back of Pep’s point and kill parole. Lol, how many 10s and attacking midfielders dey City? You are just yarning nonsense. He has already sorted out his team except the striker position. He wants a goal scorer, that can score lots of goals and half chances.

You mean like Douglas Luiz who is currently in Aston Villa? Koulibaly? Frank De Jong? Do you tell yourself things as a coping mechanism or does typing nonsense come effortless to you? He wants a goal scorer? Who outscored Manchester City last season? What about this season without the poacher? Haha. Search for Arteta's opinion on Guardiola and his long time desire to play without a striker. You might learn something. Fictional writing should be for novelists.

nitrogen:
Lool, who requested for CR7? Sheikh??

No way any player will be signed for Pep. He does ‘point and kill’.

Pep needs a poacher. You think he is happy that he has Jesus as his main striker?

Jorge Mendes presented CR7 to Manchester City. Players are signed for the manager at City I don't know where you guys get all these flimsy stories about Manchester City simply acquiring anyone they want. Jesus is not a main striker for Manchester City. He has played as a winger in all but 1 game this season. The manager never wanted a poacher, he wanted a finisher who can play as a 10 - Harry Kane!

Expert17:
Benched Bruno (most creative player) against the 2nd best defense in EPL

Rauf Talkative

Take heart brother.

BikeMan:
He's the Father of Football this, he taught Johan Cruyff that. All of you are mad!

Father Lord!

I was here to read what bikeman had to say and he did not disappoint.

drisham:
o

He didn't really miss that chance .. he attempted to dribble kelleher just like he did to courtois in the cl semis just they it didn't work out this time

OK, so he did not score but Mane scored from a similar chance, right?

thorrvik55:
Sadio Mane had no business being on the pitch after 6 seconds yesterday..

A valid argument can be made supporting your point, I concede. How does that affect the Mason Mount question though?

Segedinho:
There are huge differences..

You can't compare the power that a coach wield to that of a player.

We have seen coaches saying things when clubs goes opposite to their demands,afterall they are always criticised vehemently when things goes awry.

I have never seen a player romamcing or going against his club just after 4 games..

It takes a brainless dot to do so.


You are comparing apples to oranges

what makes you think I am defending Lukaku? You are not responding to my questions. You are just emphasizing how wrong you feel Lukaku is and then you accused me of comparing apples to oranges.

Amoto94:
The sample size is too small in the case of Pulisic for genuine comparison using stats but based on eye test he is on par or a better finisher.

Pulisic is on par or a better finisher than Lukaku?

Amoto94:
According to EPL records Pulisic in 63 appearances has missed 17 big chances and Lukaku in 265 appearances has missed 88 big chances.

So Pulisic is better at finishing chances or they are about the same. Is that your point?

Segedinho:
You said fans criticised him........


Players had problem with TT and the boards was backing the players but expecting a very good one from TT.

Here lukaku didn't stop at TT but rubbished d club as well..


Romancing with Inter after abt just 4 games......

Clearly,he came for the money and lied abt an unfinished business....

Business never start oga don go run change him bio to inter

It seems I am talking past you. I am showing how "fans" here are criticizing Lukaku, how he acted against the "higher-ups" and how he has lost his position, which is analogous to how fans criticized TT, he went against the higher-ups in PSG and how he lost his spot. Do you understand me now? I am trying to show you how someone acting contrary to what you approve does not make them brainless or else it will make TT brainless as well.

Amoto94:
Probably yes, it isn't a given that he will score the chance Pulisic missed.

So was he more probable to miss it than score it?

thorrvik55:
Apt

From a Chelsea fan? Should Mason Mount have been red carded yesterday?

Amoto94:
Chelsea have scored more goals without Lukaku in fewer games (29 in 13 as opposed to 23 in 18 with him) and registered a better expected goals figure (29.95 vs. 22.32). Source: ESPN slightly paraphrased by me.

How many games were won in that time frame compared to when he was being played?

Segedinho:
Who are the fans working for

Lukaku is more like an employee answerable to TT......

U can't compare fans and a player

was TT not answerable to the PSG management?

Tochex101:
Nope but in this case, I side him.
Alonso did something less cynical during Lampards era and was binned.
Nobody complained, it’s still Tuchel who revived him and won him the Champions league.
Bolingoli has done worse and was dropped for just a game yet everyone is drawing daggers....
It’s quite simple, Can you call your boss incompetent in public ?
There are always much better avenues for mediation......

Would Lukaku have missed the chance Pulisic missed?

Segedinho:
Who get brain no go talk these nonsense on air??


Just small trolls from the fans make am dey talk nonsense..

The mofo is brainless

Do you know some PSG fans made the same argument about TT when he was fired? I.e they felt that he should have put his emotions aside rather than quarrel with the higher-ups in PSG which ultimately cost him his job. Is TT brainless?

Theflint1:
Lukaku get brain. Other than his recent gaffe, you listen to him talk and you understand this is a man that has a proper understanding of what his life and reality is about. You'd also notice he's a little too honest. Mendy seems intelligent too but won't be surprised if he made this sort of Lukaku mistake cause he's some other guy that says it how he feels it.

Some people don't know why psychologists differentiate between IQ and EQ.

Tochex101:
Yes I agree, but remember we are discussing Tuchel and Lukaku.....whose action among both has portrayed foolishness?

Do you agree with every decision TT has ever made?

Ibime:
You can be intelligent and foolish at the same time. He is foolish but not stüpid. Stupidity is lack of Intelligence while foolishness is lack of wisdom. He is clearly intelligent but lacks wisdom.

Learning a language so quickly requires some level of intelligence. Those middle belters have been hearing different languages their whole life.

Lampard is another very intelligent person, but it did not translate as the Chelsea coach, therefore, to some people, he is not intelligent.

Kamelot77:
Chelsea board won't pay 98m for a player without a resale value.

or they thought they could get a minimum of 5 solid seasons out of him which will justify the price they paid for him.
