WARNING
IT MAY FREEZE OCCASIONALY

[Kafkaesque]

I'll admit the price on Bayern looked short and tempting (to lay) pre, but luckily Barca are just too much of a wild card these days.

Whoever takes over at Barca has some job on their hands. They never really solved losing Xavi and Iniesta, their core (Pique, Busquets, Messi and Suarez) are all 32-33 with no heirs being apparent (though you never know with La Masia), and they don't seem to have solved City raiding them for the people pulling the strings. The line-ups, and benches especially, speak to a much bigger problem than the manager. Having two 100m+ players on the bench, AND another in the same bracket who's on loan at the opposition, can't get into the team, and still comes on to score two goals against you in 20 minutes....is just nutter butters

Bayern Vs City (if they get through, obv) should be tasty.

Frenkie De Jong cost 75m and he was totally anonymous, same as yesterday.

I still from what I've seen, both at Ajax and Barca, feel there's a world beater in the making in there. He's just not the finished article, not quite yet. At least not at the very top end, in terms of dictating a match when the very best of the best clashes against each other. He'll get there imo. The price tag might suggest otherwise, and if Barca bought him expecting him to be a boss now (as opposed to being dead cert that he would become so, barring injuries), and they cut bait at this point, then it's yet another huge blunder on their part.

Very few come out of those medium level leagues, Holland, Portugal, Belgium etc, and are readymade for the very top of the pops.

Apparently there was a friendly match today between Arsenal and Liverpool? Must have missed it.

Interesting stuff. I imagine there are many clubs in the PL that are closer to financial meltdowns than we'd ever imagined

The overs in Denmark vs Belgium are a gift imho.

You don't need me to tell what Belgium can do, even with no KDB and Hazard.

Denmark's new manager is the polar opposite of the pragmatic predecessor. The new guy is the Danish Guardiola (in terms of approach, not level per se). Both fullbacks are - though versatile - much closer to wingers than backs by nature. Both wingers are more strikers than. And Dolberg up top have found form (both pre- and post covid) for the first time in years.

Gonna be a cracker....I hope

100% . managed to get matched at 2.22 earlier which is cracking value imo. Going to have a few beers now and treat this as a value punt rather than trade.

I read a few weeks ago each Premier League club, including the newly promoted clubs, had been asked/told to cough up £8 million each to cover the cost of the first year's loss of TV revenue. Reading that article, make that for the next 3 years concurrently.
