It could be the case if the clubs involved were, lets say, Atletico Madrid and Liverpool. But since its Real Madrid i believe even a hardcore Liverpool fan would pick the Spanish side.
True, but in all fairness, Liverpool and Real will command similar wages and they gave them a good go in the final, notwithstanding mistakes from someone in his position. That's why I think something like lifestyle could be a deciding factor.
 
Is he going to be given the chance to? I agree that his 2nd half of the season was strong, and is generally a good keeper. It'll be even more difficult for him to come back career-wise if the club bins him completely, as that's quite a kick in the confidence. But based on the magnitude of the errors, you can't really blame the club for wanting an upgrade.

He'd be difficult to sell on too, as he's going to be associated with those high profile errors for the foreseeable future. How could a buying club put a positive spin on that?

Certainly can't argue with any of that. I think best case scenario for him is we get a better 1st choice keeper and keep him as No.2 use him in the league cup and try to rebuild his confidence and then maybe try and move him on in a year or two unless he has shown significant improvement in the mean time.
 
I want Tony to stay but I think he needs to put his effort into the side rather than his own ego. We are Manchester United, we don't get pushed over by players or agents, it's a honour to play for our club that many would dream of, it isn't to be taken for granted.

Look at the likes of Van Nistelrooy, you may be talented but without the Manchester United mentality, you may as well not even bother to turn up to training. We have our ways, based on respect and pride for the club and the fans.

Well said.

Truth is we have no idea if his mental state.
Two first team players have come out and said he's one of the best on the training pitch. We simply don't know.
I personally feel managers fancy some players and don't fancy others for whatever reason and it might not be the fault of both.
 
That's a weird way for the owner of Roma to refer to one of his own players. I'd take those quotes with a pinch of salt for now.
Said Alisson was close to Madrid and would cost €78m. And Naingolann will go to inter

Apparently he was taking the piss with some Napoli fans
 
Manchester is huge though compared to little Liverpool. Crime rate is understandable.

The crime rate per population is the 2nd biggest. No way is the crime rate understandable, it's increased massively over the past few years. Violent crime has tripled since 2010 and up 60% from last year.

I'm surprised if you live there you haven't noticed the increase, unless you're one of the local hardmen lol. Maybe i've gone too soft moving down south!

You have no idea what you're talking about sadly. Nice try though!
 
No surprise a Brazilian wants to live in Spain rather than England. To the United fans mocking Liverpool as a place to live, i'm guessing you've never visited Manchester lol. It's got the 2nd highest crime rate after London.
Using “lol” these days really is unacceptable unless you’re 12.

I guess that'd bump Mignolet down the pecking order, though I predict he'd be easier to sell. Is Karius generally rated higher than Mignolet, Champions League final excluded?

He was rated pretty highly before the final, high enough that I dont think many Liverpool fans would have wanted a new number 1 for next season.

Yeah i guess the adults use the lol emoji like you have done in 2 of your last 3 posts "lol".
 
I really doubt a professional like Alisson would pick a club based on the weather of the city. That is lazy journalism. A lot of Brazilian players spend half their careers in Ukraine and you see no signal they are unhappy. The thing is that since kids they dream to play in the NT/Barcelona/Real.
Who says it is to do with weather?
 
I'm not really familiar with Alisson. is he a really good goalkeeper?
 
Didn't Mourinho previously say that any player who wants out will not be stopped from leaving? If so, back-tracking big-time come the reality ...

I am more in the believe that maybe Woody is the one who does not want him sold. I don't see mourinho wanting him to stay

The crime rate will always be higher in Greater Manchester than Liverpool due to the geographical size and population.

Manchester is close to outgrowing Birmingham as the second city, it's not some little dock settlement like Liverpool.

Anyway I would be interested in you telling me what you know about NCRS and why you believe there's been a national increase in crime?

I think my point is clear. "Weather" was just a super simplification of the text to make it shorter and address the replies to that tweet.

Weather/language/culture/architecture/food, everything seems to be implied in the same package when journalists claim South American players prefer a move to Spain rather than to a club in some germanic-speaking city. And of course by germanic i'm referring to non-latin nations.
 
Why are we talking about crime rates? :lol:

Apparently the number one consideration for football players choosing a new team to play for, is minor differences in rates of intentional homicide. That's the reason why all the best footballers in the world play for FC Vaduz in Liechtenstein.

I've lived fairly close to Liverpool all of my life and went to Uni there for four years. There are plenty of reasons to choose Real Madrid over Liverpool without even delving into a fair few of those. Besides, if he did move to Liverpool he'd be likely living outside of the City.

At Real, he'd get paid more, most likely win more and have a greater claim to being Brazil #1 for the foreseeable.

Madrid is a more natural cultural & lifestyle fit for sure... I would not dwelve into crime rates or similar stats because they are not the point or the main concern imho

This is true. Also the competition with Ederson will be tougher after the wc and playing for Madrid is a huge advantage for sure.
