Football is one of the biggest money laundering industries. It's like the arts industry. Who evaluates the price of a painting? What objective criterion is there to say how much a player is worth? These Arab dictators, Russian millionaires and mobsters from all over the world use these...

For me, Modric and Kroos were a better duo than Xavi and Iniesta. Especially in terms of defensive contribution and versatility to adapt to different schemes. Xavi and Iniesta's advantage was that they played together at Spain NT and they were better for that style of possession. If I had to...

Henry's peak was in EPL, so on a predominantly English forum, even if it's not an Arsenal forum, he would have an advantage. Henry's prime was part of the personal memories of many people here But Mbappe has already surpassed him as a player, with more goals, assists and dribbles over different...

The best dribbler in the world, although he has problems finishing. He's a typical Brazilian winger with a lot of skill and lethal in the 1v1.

Real Madrid will end up selling Rodrygo, who I believe has a great future ahead of him Mbappe is a star, but he could improve in some areas (taking free-kicks, for example).

At Roma he insisted on a Portuguese goalkeeper, Rui Patricio, who cost the Italian team many points and fought with Dybala (something common in his career). His first season was great

Best midfielders in the world (modric, kroos, bellingham. for future: tchouameni, camavinga etc) + most promising strikers of Brazilian football (vini jr, rodrygo, endrick). Some identified and bought at a very young age. Some end up not working out at Real Madrid (Odegard) or nowhere (Renier)...

Yesterday, it was logical when PSG eliminated Barcelona. Xavi even announced last month that he won't be the coach in 2024/25. Of course, the advantage of the first leg was great, but if we look at the consistency of the whole year, it was logical that PSG would qualify. The logic today is for...

I see that and I can't help but be suspicious of Calcio. Strange results

I like Chelsea's midfield duo (Caicedo and Enzo), both combine technique and physical strength, Palmer is promising, the rest don't catch my eye

Casemiro's peak is comparable to that of Rodri. But Casemiro was in the shadow of Kroos and Modric (but who wouldn't be?)

That Necastle and Everton game is very suspicious. The Newcastle defender (Dummett) came on at the 80th minute and gave away a silly penalty at the 85th minute. Very strange. If someone wanted to manipulate the match, they'd have the defender come on and give away a penalty minutes later. I...

I think Barcelona will go for Unai Emery (he's Spanish, he's done a good job) and Liverpool could end up with a German coach to maintain their philosophy (thomas tuchel or hans flick).

Cristiano Ronaldo could still easily play for a top European team, if he reduced his wages

11th with this Chelsea team? Pochettino is the worst coach in EPL.
