Fred for £50m or Fabinho for £44m which team got the better deal.
don't be partial o

to be fair, Liverpool did

united midfield "should" be the strongest in epl imagine

Fred RCM, Matic LCM, Pogba AM with Lukaku upfront, Sanchez LW, and Lingard RW




FREEEEDDDD hmmm why does this sound like freeddd

raumdeuter:
Wait didnt Yaya start Citys last home game vs Brighton which they won 3-1 and was given the captain armband. Yaya was removed at 86mins to get applause from the crowd

So what other final match are we talking about or expecting Or what would have been an acceptable farewell for Yaya

a match parade

EarthXmetahuman:
but he deserves a good fairwell.

I don't even know any real man city legend. Yaya toure deserves it.. aguero also, if pep doesn't give yaya's treatment.

yaya was in beast mode when he took city in 2014 to the league title, and then within the next 2 season took city to UCL semis. now he is been treated like one yeye #lifeAintFair

raumdeuter:
Maybe his anger was about the cake

I do think eph12 is right, pep didn't let yaya get the appreciation he deserved he made it seem city can exist without him and would have done well without him. a final match for yaya would have been a good goodbye.

Pep almost did the same thing with Aguero -- cast him to the back side.

truth is pep doesn't know how to manage egos he may just only know how make them.

Creatrixity:
You don't need a prophet to know Griezzmann is staying at Atletíco. That club knows how to keep their players loyal. I mean, even players that leave always have a hankering to come back.

haven't you heard of Spanish jazzz

all these yeye talk like these people know any manager without a player with something bad to say about that manager.

foolish and pointless yarns, what have you all achieved now by all these una 'facts' of pep doesn't like this one or that one, is that his job. is that what he is paid for

Miremoses1:
Just in: Allegri has turned down Real Madrid approach to replace Zidane (GdS)

oh nooooo

soo it's gonna be conte

usbcable:


the speck may end up in Madrid. You never can tell

ahhh, that means we will have everything and the speck and you are left with nothing

airmark:
Yes you are right, Etoo has ego, but that doesn't stop us from knowing that Pep lied to the media that Etoo didnt want to play a match as reported in that video i shared. Etoo exposed that lying cunt.

No big player would be happy being disgraced by his coach repeatedly. Franck Ribery and other players said the same thing about Pep, so it's not about Etoo bro.

is aguero in that list

JayKayMaybachz:
Diogo Dalot will have a medical at Manchester United this week ahead of move from FC Porto, according to Sky sources.

Jose Mourinho has been in the market for a right-back and looks set to land Dalot after the two clubs agreed an undisclosed fee for the 19-year-old.

Dalot, who is understood to have a €20m (£17.4m) release clause in his contract, made his first-team Porto debut in February, and is now set to leave the Estadio Dragao to link up with compatriot and former Porto boss Mourinho.

The defender played out of position for Porto at left-back in the Champions League knockout stages against Liverpool earlier this season.


He is a product of Porto's academy and won the U17 Euros with Portugal in 2016.
Manchester United are also closing in on the signing of Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder Fred who had his medical in Manchester on Monday, ahead of the completion of a £50m transfer.

http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11667/11394910/diogo-dalot-to-have-manchester-united-medical-this-week-ahead-of-move-from-porto

so united wants to splash 20m on that player (dalot) when they have TFM smh

usbcable:
until this happened

no no no no, didn't they teach you past present future and didn't you learn how to count

it happened before then it happened again, and again and again till that one speck in between was forgotten

Miremoses1:
a coach that doesn't have a plan B, is that one a coach. All this hit and run he does in Liverpool won't work in a team with ageing players. Do you expect CR7,benzema or kross to run around the field like a headless chicken for 90mins?.

a team is made up of eleven players

I don't expect benzema(who even till now is agile) to be a starter next season.

klopp should just resign and come to Madrid joor, does he plan on coaching Liverpool for seven years

raumdeuter:
Ulreich only started because Neuer was injured and Neuer is going to the world cup

was Ulreich a starter or not?

Raumdeuter see Hazard begging for transfer for the first time with his own words

“I think all of the players and the club want one thing and that’s to win the title. Of course we will see if we can bring in some new players, it’s part of the job. But we will be focused on winning the title, that’s it.
”Okay we don’t play in the Champions League, but last year we didn’t play in it and won the League. We need this mentality, players to produce and make the difference. That’s why we love Chelsea.”
-Eden Hazard

raumdeuter:
Every Bayern starter even Rudy and Sule our bench player dey go world cup

didn't Ulreich start alot of games for Bayern this year, isn't he german?

Leyqute:
Mr. Nihilist. See JAMB question. Go and dig Google for the answer to your question. Even Chelsea at a time had Drogba, Mikel, Kalou and Essien as starters. Maybe not all of them together frequently but it's not hard to see 3 or 2 Africans starting regularly at some clubs.

Oh shoot! I forgot. Chelsea is not a top European team.

And that's not even what I'm all about. Yaya was talking about African players in that interview, not any black guy. That's my point. I'm not saying he's right or wrong, neither am I advocating for top European teams (and Chelsea) to fill their starting XI with 5 African players.

ahhh simple qwasion you come take am personally like this

raumdeuter:
Pep bought Benatia who is from South America
Pep is chasing Mahrez who is from Asia
Seydiu Keita who thrived under Guardiola is from North America

Keith why you no just mention eto

raumdeuter:
Yes o. If he wants to make world cup he should move to Bayern

did every german player in Bayern make the 23 man squad for the WC

Oasis007:

LMAO......... e be like say una don get new Manager ba?!

whom?! Laurent Blanc or Luis Enrique?

Oasis007:


We are signing Fred not Bakayoko Bruh! Guess you know United's next Target.........?! WILLIAN!!!

If una sign Willian then Chelsea sign Malcolm it will just be a Matic/Bakayoko situation

afrodoc2:
Which ones are the "we bought a sunken place striker" or the "we bought a club footed, donkey legged midfielder" trophies?
Or the "we have a shakushaku dancing, ikebe shaking, Neymar claiming but Ikedia copying best player" trophy?

Morata's first season might have gone badly towards the end but so did the rest of Chelsea but unlike a club having three new (ex)EPL superstars in Sanchez, Lukaku and 'Matic' with their 'worldclass' players fell from the hype of second season to dangling phrases of accomplishment of second place.

the Morata and Hazard you're making jest of didnt play the full season fit
but see the 'wise' ones spending £90m to unlock a £90m once famed Paul d' Octopus

monerozi5590:
same case scenario. First season in a first division club both won trophies.

Sarri and poch have been coaching for years in first division clubs both won zero trophies.

Had it been Zidane and pep didn't win anything at their first time in a first division clubs they would have had it very difficult in their coaching career.

At least Tuchel won something. He went to Pokal Finals back to back and he won the last one. What has Poch and Sarri won in their lives?

Casemiro had a great game against Croatia today.

after how many years of coaching >>> Tuchel

you are comparing Madrid to Napoli or Barca to Tottenham.

Very few managers win as underdogs

maybe we should be considering Monaco's coach jardim

monerozi5590:
Tuchel is better than him. What has Sarri won as a coach in his life? Nothing.

Sarri and Poch are pretenders and jokers. Both of them don't have a good CV. Zero title.

what had Pep and Zidane won in their lives previous to their triumphs with top teams.

Sarri has coached top league football for four seasons, and has done pretty well.

Tuchel you are shouting about hadn't won anything before his dortmund reign and infact him winning DFB-Pokal in 2016–17 had other factors to it and little to do with him.

LordAdamX:
Except that Sarri complements his press with possession football; sth we are experts in.

The issue with Allegri is, would he want to come? Becoming a manager at RM is a high-profile job, but it isn't a long-term one. Low was contacted, he turned the offer down.

Ladrup has said earlier this year he doesn't want to coach for much longer, so he fits the profile of a coach Perez would want. One that isn't too vested and can be made a scapegoat when things go south.

Anyway, let them contact as many options as they want as long as they make a decision before the end of the world cup.

-Lord

from what Miremoses1 posted going for Sarri seems like our most likely option of the lot.

I just hope the team would be receptive of his methods. #SarriBall

sinizia:
Fred or any other DM we're being linked with has to do with the departure of Carrick and Fellaini. It has nothing to do with Pogba.

so your telling us mou doesn't want to play a double six with Fred RDM and Matic LDM so that Pogba can finally play 10 and dab

wait o, so mou earns £23m a year and is the highest paid manager (soon to be Zidane if he takes the £44m at Qatar).

but why does manu pay mou so much, even pep is just about 18-20m

LordAdamX:
So let me get this straight. We just went from aiming for the treble next season to now hoping we have a good season (whatever that means).

Thankful to Zidane for the memories. He's earned his break. As for the Board, now is a good time to carry out the overhaul we've been pushing forward. If you want to call anyone's bluff, do so now. If you're signing anyone, get the signature in time. You guys have the whole summer to make something out of this new found mess. Not when the season starts, we'll start hearing funny stories.

As for my choice of managers. In order of preference:

3. Poch (...This low because I don't think he'd be an efficient man manager. He may have the tactics, but that wouldn't mean sh*t if he doesn't control the massive egos in the locker room).
2. Sarri (He'd provide the team with defensive solidity. No more leaking goals, which effectively means less pressure to outscore when playing).
1. Allegri (Needs no introduction)

Those talking about Klopp should know he is a One Direction kind of guy. Geggenpressing is all he has, and we don't have the youthful squad that'd implement that rigorously. You're practically saying folks like CR7, Kroos, Marcelo would be running around the pitch for 90 minutes every match they play; which we know is impossible. We'd be a first half team (like Liverpool that's a 60' team).

I have very low expectations for the 2019 season. Top two finish in the league, CdR win (even if we have to play CR7 in it to win, so be it. It's the only realistic trophy we can win in our sleep), and UCL SF (if we've done it for 8 consecutive seasons with the managerial shitshow we've had, we can do it once more).

-Lord

Just so you know Sarri plays a similar system to klopp. Besides getting Allegri would be similar to getting Sarri, I.e pay the clubs about 10m which would be cheaper than going for Klopp of even Poch (considering than getting Allegri or maybe Sarri would be easier I consider them better than Poch)

Realistically, we have Conte or even Wenger

then I heard a strange name today Michael Laudrup

monerozi5590:
He only turned Tottenham to title pretenders and not contenders.

A Coach that can't even win Europa League or FA Cup with that squad at his disposal is not a good coach to me.

The English Press are just hyping him.

no no not hype. the English press like generating excitement about poch that kind of excitement that never leads to satisfaction.

Miremoses1:
Pochetinno, klopp and Massimiliano Allegri.

Who among them can do a better job in Madrid?

Allegri

Miremoses1:
not confirmed yet.

I just love zizou, he said he won't be coaching another club anytime soon, and I think his going to keep to his words. Qatar or France national team will be his next location, who knows, he might then return to Madrid.

after making close to £180m , mehn that guy's life is just amazing

any news or movement in replacing him at Madrid?
