  • Which two? Modric and Kroos? The same modric and kroos who have won 6 and 5 CLs respectively? Ok.
  • There is no secret, aside from the fact that since the advent of the modern football structure in 1950 they’ve consistently been one of the two or three richest clubs in the world, for a number of reasons. Their competition in terms of wealth...
  • Vinicius is genuinely generational, a multiple ballon d’or winner in waiting. Bellingham is merely a very good midfielder, no different to gerrard or lampard in terms of the maximum potential he will hit. If he was born 20 years ago he’d never...
  • el_loco_bielsa replied to the thread Vinicius Junior.
    There’s nothing remarkable about it. He was a 20 year old kid at that stage having been in Spain for barely eighteen months. All that’s happened is that he’s developed into the player they were suggesting he would be as a teen in brazil. He’s...
  • el_loco_bielsa replied to the thread Leny Yoro.
    He’s almost certainly ending up at Madrid with his french mates in the dressing room there. Unless PSG can lure him by stuffing his mouth with gold and selling him their new french youth based project. No other club stands a chance.
  • el_loco_bielsa replied to the thread Michael Olise.
    If he remains injury free (a big if) I think his natural position is as a 10 rather than stuck out on the wing whether hugging the touch line or being an inverted winger making out to in runs. Looks far more effective when operating from the...
  • So are you guys sacking him and replacing him with a best-in-class alternative, or what?
  • :lol: Thought it’d be a matter of time before someone pulled out the Dunning-Kruger curve in response to all the armchair pundits who struggled through high-school science questioning the competence of a bunch of high profile postdoctoral...
  • Bayern are currently a basket case. It's becoming like the viewing zoo at PSG. All sorts of fascinating stuff to see.
  • el_loco_bielsa replied to the thread Joel Matip on a free?.
    Deffo. You guys need Matip and Thiago alcnutara as free transfers in the summer to kickstart the new INEOS era.
  • So what’s the plan? Another 2 seasons at leverkusen then off to Madrid to take over from ancelotti in 2026 when his contract runs out?
  • He’ll play 13 minutes of your season and look absolutely gorgeous whilst doing so before getting injured for the next 14 months. Rinse and repeat. It’s what he’s done at anfield for 3 years.
  • When you’re up against a doper who has perfected his doping game and achieved complete mastery of the competition through an organised doping programme which meticulously takes care of all variables to leave him with no concerns regarding the...
  • Yes it’s a super-cynical business move saving them a few pennies. No doubt some no-name 21 year old ‘director’ in their back office who fancies himself as a Gordon Gecko style capitalist ‘killer’ has decided it’s a sound business move that...
  • He clearly doesn’t care about the payout. They’ve basically appointed motta a month ago and evidently there’s been a bunch of aggro behind the scenes for weeks which has spilled out onto the pitch.
