Popular Post boratsbrother Posted June 30, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 30, 2023 Azpi is not only one of our all-time greats but also one of the all-time bargain buys. One of those special players who'd run through a brick wall for his team and never gave less than 100% every game. It was a pleasure having him around for all these years. Best of luck with the rest of your career and life Azpi.❤️ 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s true that he’s got a dodgy hip and knee, then does he think a major European club is going to sign him to a long contract on big wages? Not sure what he thinks his other options are right now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is either one meaningfully better than Kepa? [SNIP] Both are better goalkeepers than Kepa (being bigger, they command their areas better), but are they so much better as to justify the fees involved? Both are also far better distributors of the ball than Kepa. Given the modern game where 'keepers need to be able to pass like midfielders, they're again ahead ofKepa. But again the question is, do their potential fees justify the upgrade? From what seems to be coming out of the club (that Poch is happy with Kepa as his number one) the answer looks like 'no'. As an aside, it seems Man Utd are about to make a move for Onana. Edited June 30, 2023 by Bob Singleton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good riddance to the worst partner since Eva Braun's other half. Hopefully no respectable Chelsea fan carries a a 3 subscription! Judas looks like a decent bloke next to them.

Because of the level of the playing staff. It’s not like he’s up against William or Pedro. So IMO there is nothing to be lost with CHO doing a preseason. Who knows maybe the new coach will like what he sees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just brilliant 🤩 As a goal keeper is topical at the moment we also got Cudicini at a bargain price.A goal keeper that was as good as any keeper we ever had. The bargains are out there.We just need people who can spot a top class player in the making,with first and foremost the right attitude. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These high priced individuals are killing team spirit.It's no coincidence that man u are doing a lot better since they got rid of Pogba.

Maybe the high price tag is part of the cause of the problem because with large transfer figures come big wages, and that might have an impact on the rest of the dressing room. I don't think anyone with an ounce of sense expects equity, but it must be galling when a high-income player is not delivering on the pitch and is earning three times as much. Especially so went they don't seem to be putting in much effort in training or they seem to expect that others will do the every day, 'boring' stuff for them. Team games are about relationships between team members which means people working together to be the best they can be and to promote each other's success as a collective.
