AncalagonTheBlack Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Klopp on Soylent's favourite player Quote "Very important. If we take now our last game against Fulham, we didn't find Bobby properly because the centre was very often blocked. That's why it was difficult for him. Apart from that, I don't judge Bobby after one game." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raja Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 He would be worth the punt but his wages are probably far too high. PSG would be an interesting move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better equivalent for Sevilla in PL would be Chelsea, and Sevilla doesn't come out that well in that one, do they? Sevilla can afford a 100m marque signing write off? I went by financial power (relative to the league's big beasts) and relative strength compared to the rest of the league. Sevilla is a Spanish top 6 club. On a financial scale, Sevilla is also not in the same weight class West Ham. I'd compare City, Chelsea and Liverpool against Atletico, Barca and Real. Those are the respective league's heavy weights.

Consigliere Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Yeah, it's unfair to say that Chelsea are the PL equivalent of Sevilla. Sevilla don't have close to the budget that Chelsea does. I'd say it's also a bit unfair to be comparing West Ham to Sevilla. West Ham does have the equivalent (or greater) spending power but it's also worth noting that West Ham face a much tougher task getting into the top 6 than Sevilla do getting into the top 4 as West Ham are going up against 6 out of the top 10 or 11 wealthiest clubs in the world whereas Sevilla have a clear financial advantage over the likes of Betis, Sociedad and Villarreal. They used to get a good challenge from Valencia before Peter Lim decided to asset strip the club but now Sevilla have no real competition for a top 4 spot. None of Betis, Sociedad or Villarreal have the squad depth to seriously challenge them for 4th place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Horse Named Stranger Posted August 12, 2022 Author Share Posted August 12, 2022 Yeah, but they managed to built on the sporting success of winning the EL, and they still don't have that much room for error on the transfer market (on that note Monchi is a genius DoF).

Soylent Brown Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 DoFs are the same as managers really, in that they'll work in some situations and they'll fail in others. I think the most important thing is that clubs don't become too attached to anyone, so that they're able to move people along when things aren't working out.

No-one wants a striker who is only good at running about a lot. They could save a lot of money by signing up Mo Farah or someone equally useless on the ball.

I read that article – ESPN are generally shit and 120 million seems to be a made up figure by the author who's personal opinion is that United's valuation is likely to be at least double PSG's. Last season was terrible for Rashford but in each of the two seasons prior he scored 20+ goals and got into double figures for assists as well. 60 million seems to be about the going rate for a 24 year old who puts up the numbers Rashford does.

Winterfell is Burning Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 PSG going for Rashford makes perfect sense- not for his football, but because his off-pitch is perfect for a sportwashing club. If he scores a few goals, even better, but that's not necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
