You gather geriatrics because you are running on a budget, if you had the money, you wouldn't gather geriatrics, don't you think?

I don't understand why you are using Messi, depay and Donarumma in this case, seeing that Inter couldn't afford these guys even if they were free.

What is the cost of Depay that Inter cannot afford? Will Depay be more expensive than Eriksen

Look at Eriksen a Player that will be free in 6 months, Conte signed till 2024 for 17M put on Lukaku salary, In a year he was already benching Eriksen looking to offload him

How will a club like Inter not run into debts

patrickmuf:
Should we blame Conte or those in charge of transfers and negotiations? If yes, then those who said Pep is a cheque book manager are right because he requested for those players to be signed...

You're talki g about PSG and Barcelona getting good players on a free as if those clubs are not more attractive than Inter right now...Who will not want to play with Neymar, Veratti, Mbappe, Marquinhos etc...

So you think a coach who demanded Vidal does not know Vidal will get wages? Or he thinks Kolarov will play for free
Thomas Munier joined Dortmund on a free transfer abi that one sef is more attractive than Inter?

Pep demanded transfers and his team bought them for him, his team has not gone bankrupt yet just like Cuntay did when he blew through a quarter of a billion in 1 season. If not that Roman has deep pockets like City they will be auctioning top players now

You cannot be paying 130M in wages and be crashing out of CL group stages last in your group, Clubs have declared bankruptcy for lesser

izzou:
[color=royalblue]As at two seasons ago, a transfer fee would be paid for Messi, Depay, and Donnarunma.

I ask again sir; how much would he have spent to buy these sensible players?[/color]

Every season there are cheap players not in their mid 30s in the market or decent players you can make do with to be competitive. At least not to finish last in the CL groups

CL money is crucial, you cannot load a team with that much wages and be crashing out of CL group stages unless you had a rich sugar daddy

That was what bankrupted Dortmund in the early 2000s, they broke the Bundesliga record in transfer fees and wages to sign Marcio Amoroso, Jan Koller and Tomas Rosicky gambling on making it in the CL, they crashed in the group stages and

Can Inter milan pay wages of Messi and Donarumma level players even if they can get them for free?
Psg have been spending money for all their coaches because they have it, inter don't have the money, so they had to employ someone who can win without the best players, and he did just that. Abi Conte for no like dey do quality signings too?

When you gather those wages on Young Vidal Kolarov and those geriatric players you will be able to pay decent players

Cuntay like quality signings na why he spent quarter of a billion in one season at Chelsea, finished 5th and 4yrs later the team stilldey figure out what to do with Barkley Bakayoko Drinkwater and co

The Inter board have been fed up with Cuntay for the longest time and were looking for the first opportunity to get rid of him

So if Roman no get deep pockets wetin for happen?

izzou:
[color=royalblue]How much would you buy the sensible players in the first place.

You dey add salary wey dem go collect weekly, but you forgot you need a transfer fee to have a sensible player[/color]

Are Messi, Depay Donaruma sensible?

If you are operating on a budget, what is the point of gathering geriatrics in the team and end up crashing out of CL groups to Monchengladbach and Donestsk

4yrs after Cuntay left Chelsea is still struggling to offload Bakayoko, Zapacosta and Drinkwater

Emmynator:
Those sensible players will teleport to the club without Inter paying transfer fee abi?

You see the way Messi Donarumma and co are teleporting to PSG

larride:
How much did Inter sign Kolarov, Vidal, Young and Darmian?

Tell us how much those 4 players cost combined and how Conte could’ve used it to buy 1 or 2 reasonable players with market value.

Add these 4 wages together and you think that wont pay 2-3 sensible players

March 2021 already

Thecassanova:
Only God knows where we would be on the table if Tuchel didn’t take over this team

We haters miss Lampard

airmark:
Havertz should hurled out if he continues to be lacklustre.

Tuchel will answer you soon

CapitalCee:
Barnes and airmark should also tell us why TAA and Robertson refused to cross effectively against villa when VVD was around

Ask airmark a quick Math

Liverpool with VVD this season in the EPL
4 matches played 11 goals conceded 2.75 goals per match conceded

Liverpool without VVD this season in the EPL
24 matches played 25 goals conceded 1.04 goals per match conceded

Any conclusions from a technical aspect featuring Barnes

airmark:


Technical aspect of football is your albatross, just like all those supporting your view.

When an expert briefs you, you should set aside your 'monkey post' opinion.

So these technical aspects were not in effect when Liverpool went from 4th with VVD to 1st by New years day. 14 matchdays no technical aspect.

airmark:
You should tell us why with Matip and Alisson on the field Liverpool lost at home to Burnley but VVD never experienced an epl loss at Anfield.

Without Allison and Matip on the field, VVD conceded 7 goals to Aston Villa, conceded 3 goals to Leeds this season

With a Full Anfield, Spineless Morata molested VVD. You are now asking about an empty Anfield?

afrodoc2:


Virgil Van Lie.

Sadio Mane went from 17, 18 goals in 35 games in the last 2 seasons to 7 goals in 25 games because of VVD
Firmino continued his ghostmode because of VVD

airmark:
If you know the assists stats by Arnold and Robertson when VVD wasn't injured and the decline now, and you read the attached below and still not convinced, then i will need to take you to Klopp himself to convince you on the effect of VVD's absence in that team.

VVD left the team 4th on the table on Matchday 4

By Matchday 17 Liverpool was 1st on the table

Which style did they play for the 14 matchdays between October 17 and January 1 without VVD that pushed them from 4th to top the table?

CapitalCee:
Liverpool even beat spurs and hammered palace 7-0 after VVD injury, nobody said anything. Immediately they ran out of steam, they blamed it on VVD injury, same guy that was there and they conceded 7 against Villa.

Loss of all senior Center backs, is now blamed on VVD, when over 2 months after VVD injury, they were still topping the table

The last game full game VVD played for Liverpool was vs Villa on October 4 and after that match week, Liverpool was 4th on the table. They lost VVD but by December 19 they were table leaders, leading the nearest team with 4 points (Once again this was 2 months after VVD injury)
Actually, Liverpool started this year as table topper

CapitalCee:
2 months after VVD injury Liverpool where still topping the league table, infact they won a top-of-the-table clash without VVD, they even beat Palace 7-0. So how will you attribute their poor firm to VVD? So VVD is the reason Mane, Sallah and Firminho couldn't scire abi.

Na agenda and dishonesty

airmark:
Enough of trying to downplay VVD's influence in the team.

Nobody should misinform us here, Matip played when Burnley defeated Liverpool at Anfield.

It should be emphasized that VVD never experienced a league defeat at Anfield since he joined the team, unlike other players in that defence. That speaks volume.

VVD played when they conceded 7 to Aston Villa
Anfield doesn't mean much when there is no crowd to cheer them. While the last time Anfield was full spineless Morata shitt on VVD

airmark:
Ramdeuter and his African giant are on this table you are shaking but i won't say anything.

The African giant that is still topping the scorers chart in the league

Iamgrey5:
Lol.

A lot of people have often alleged that Obama invaded Libya but it's not true.

European countries wanted Gadafi out because they had interest in Libyan huge oil and gas reserves.

The French and Italians In particular saw it as a guarantee.

All I see here is excuse making

Syria, he was unwilling
Libya It was because of French and Italian

Iamgrey5:
Obviously he supported the Freedom fighters offen tagged Activist again Assad like most western countries.

Just like Trump supports a parallel government in Venezuela.

Who tags one side a freedom fighter to destabilize a country? Is that not a warcrime and as bad as anything Bush ever did?

So Trump too can come to Nigeria, arm IPOB and call them freedom fighters against the govt

Obama never invaded a nation but he provided support to rebels to destabilize a nation

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama has signed a secret order authorizing U.S. support for rebels seeking to depose Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and his government, sources familiar with the matter said.
Obama’s order, approved earlier this year and known as an intelligence “finding,” broadly permits the CIA and other U.S. agencies to provide support that could help the rebels oust Assad.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Trump administration has decided to halt the CIA’s covert program to equip and train certain rebel groups fighting the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad

Dayo Abeg wetin dey happen?

4-0

Loew must go

3 more goals from Spain

Since we've been arguing GOAT did anyone bring up these names? How many ballon d'Or do they have combined?

Wo. I don't have time. Pele said he's GOAT, people have called Maradona GOAT, CR7 called himself GOAT, Messi carried a goat to do a photoshoot, but you are bringing people who did not claim or were slated as GOAT.


The issue here is, as an undisputed champion you have to go where the fight is. Dare.
You can stay one place if you are not the undisputed champion.

At the end of the day we'll just sneak Messi in as one of the best attackers

How many Balon dor did Pele win?

SyIvalord:
If you don't know these people, then you should go watch them before concluding.

Were all the Italian great goalkeepers guaranteed starters for Italy throughout the course of their careers?

If its just to go wikipedia and copy names anyone can do that. Imagine keepers who barely layed for their country, who were not noted for anything in football

You can as well write Baruwa, Ejide Akpeyi to complete the list

SyIvalord:
Casillas, De Gea, Ricardo Zamora, Andoni Zubizaretta

Zubizareta is a mediocre keeper and no better than Abbiati

SyIvalord:
I agree with you concerning Germany, but I do not quite agree that Italy has historically had better Goalkeepers than Spain.

Who has Spain produced that can match Zenga, Buffon, Pagluica and Zoff

SyIvalord:
Casillas, Paco Buyo, Jose Molina, Juan Carlos Ablanedo, Jose Angel Iriba, De Gea, Luis Arconada e.t.c

Who are these people? I even see Jose Molina there. The Deportivo keeper?He will never start a game for Italy never mind Germany

afrodoc2:
I was just saying it. Zoff and Albertosi were cannibalizing each other. The same way Clements and Shilton did for England.

The ultimate cannibalization was Pagliuca cannibalizing Zenga only to be cannibalized by Peruzzi whose career was now cannibalized by a combination of Buffon and Toldo. The person that suffered the most was Marchegianni who was at best no 4 in Italy when he would have been no1 in most other countries and he was the only one who was never a starter in a tournament.

You think that was bad? Try Germany
Since I started watching Germany fully

Germany had Bodo Illgner starting beyond his sell date when Andy Kopke was ready
When Illgner left, Kopke now overstayed his own time till 1998 world cup and ate half of Oliver Kahns career
Oliver Kahn started from 2000 and also cannibalized most of Jens Lehman career until 2006 when Klinsman forcefully benched Kahn
After 2008 when Lehmann, Enke was already chopping minutes meant for Rene Adler and Neuer until he died
Adler became number 1 until he got injured just towards 2010 world cup courtesy of Neuers jazz and that was the end of his career
Neuer became number 1 since 2010 and his effective jazz ensured no one ever challenged him, any keeper who tried to will meet with misfortune between the goal

Ter Stergen at Mochengladbach made noise that he should be number 1, they tried him in friendlies and he started passing to opponents to score cheap goals
MAtS left Germany to avoid Neuers curse, Neuer got injured and he started a few but was leaking goals.
Neuer came back and last CL when he was supposed to prove he was better than Neuer in the CL quarter vs Bayern, That match became a fiasco for him

All the others like Kevin Trapp, Leno have accepted their fate now, Alex Nubel who should be starting for 90% of ther countries and clubs is now sitting comfortably on the Bayern bench waiting for Neuer

odizeey:
Forget this trap you want to set. Were the class of 92 or any players that were mention there termed GOATS? Nothing like GOAT defender.

You mean Maldini, Baresi, Gerd Muller, Xavi, Iniesta are not GOATS

Unlimited22:
I'm a bit young so for Spain I can only point out Zubizarreta, Casillas, De Gea, Valdes, Reina and Canizares.

But Germany you have Maier, Kahn, Lehmann, Neuer, MATS, Leno, Butt, Weidenfeller etc etc

There is nothing great about Valdes, Reina Canizares they would just be like Leno or Weidenfeller

Germany and Italy are for keepers
