Find a pure goal scorer/poacher you can sub on for Lukaku the last 20 and swap in for a mid week game. That might do the job. But who? I think Chelsea let go of a pretty decent option there in Abrahams. I mean I get it he wanted to be a regular but he was a good back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told you before, Luka Jovic is your guy. 23, proven leading goal scorer in Germany, high quality finisher, zero future at the club with Benz, Vini, Rodrygo and likely Mbappe and Haaland joining next year. He should be super cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green_Guinness Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 How about UEFA F'ing up the Champions League draw and having to do it again? Seems there was a snafu and they accidentally left Man United out of certain pots while putting them in the same pot as teams that could play Villareal, which they can't play since they were in the same group. And they drew them vs Villareal. Oops. Start over. Do it again. Now other clubs are already filing protests. What a clusterF. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnB Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 I haven't been paying as much attention to soccer the past couple of seasons. What the hell is going with Barca that they're in 8th place halfway through the season. And Juventus in 7th? The world really has been turned upside down. Not that I am at all against parody (I rather like it), I just wasn't expecting to see that when I checked league tables this afternoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I am at all against parody (I rather like it), I just wasn't expecting to see that when I checked league tables this afternoon It's a club that's been run really badly. In the Spanish league they have a salary cap and they are a club that's just messed up over the years. Spending too much on players that didn't work out. They signed players on free transfers in the summer but couldn't sign them for weeks due to not having the financial space to do so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There may well be. I think ultimately things have gone well under Tuchel until the last month... Its when you are losing that you see what teams are made of. Look at united... They've been woeful for years and much of that I put on the culture and the mentality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have young guys that want playing time and also some vets that want extensions. Add some injury and dropped points and you get a potential issue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you what was he thinking? What stupid comments to make. Dang. He added that he would like to return to Inter Milan while still in the prime of his career, having only left the Serie A side last summer in a €115 million (£97.5m) deal. He didn't fit in the PL the first time around, surprised Chelsea went after him. His physical nature is a plus in Italy but where he has a poor first touch and also plays against physical defenders in the PL then he is just another guy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just missed too many games from his injury and then Tuchel bringing him back slowly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
