Agree with that! Even back in the day Chelsea always had some prominent English players with Lampard, Terry, Cole and then further back Wise and others.
August 5, 20205 yr Man Utd has a lot of English like Chelsea Rashford, Greenwood, Sancho (Hopefully),McGuire, AWB, Shaw, Brandon Williams, Axel Tuanzebe (Young talented CB) Scott McTom (Scottish)

August 12, 20205 yr Atalanta in front 1-0, they are unbelievable and fun as hell to watch After Juve takes a dump (whats new) they are a real threat to win the damn thing
August 14, 20205 yr This Barca Bayern game is absolutely bananas so far. 7 mins 1-1 with a dumb own goal

August 15, 20205 yr Talk about German efficiency because they looked liked a damn machine. I know that made @TEWhappy

It’s Fing glorious! Madrid is in a rebuild, but at least there is light at the end of the tunnel. We probably have the best collection of young talent in the world, our finances are rock solid, the stadium upgrades are underway, and we are still competitive domestically. Barca is a dumpster fire! Old, slow, and broke. It’s basically a declining Messi and a bunch of washed up stars. Sad!
August 15, 20205 yr Antoine Griezmann $132 million Ousmane Dembélé $150 million Philippe Coutinho $159 million (10 Million dollar loan to Bayern and scores twice hahahaha)
August 15, 20205 yr Lyon set to close it out vs City with a 3-1 lead late in the match. So a SF of Bayern v Lyon and RB Leipzig v PSG. Never write off the underdogs, but a Bayern v PSG Final should be wildly entertaining. Possibly a track meet on the pitch.

He's looked good when healthy, filled a need, and was the best wing prospect not named Mbappe in the world when they bought him. Could still turn out to be good. The rest are absolute disasters though. $300 million on two players who were never going to fit into the squad. It was like their version of a galacticos transfer strategy, but retarded. Neither were generational talents, neither had a clear role in the team, and neither were ever going to fix any of their problems.

Bayern and now Man City where he had all the money in the world and can't win the big one anymore.

I've made that argument before. He's like Phil Jackson. Anyone could win with Jordan/Pippen, Kobe/Shaq, Messi/Xavi/Iniesta, etc. Pepe has always had a massive talent advantage domestically. When he doesn't, he loses. Mourinho especially would just out coach him. He's lost his touch these days, but he truly was the special one.

Still a great player, but I don’t see him as a world beater anymore. It will be interesting to see how he copes with the English game. Messi has always had problems with players of superior physicality like Casemiro and Varane. Guys who are much bigger, stronger and faster tend to do well against him. I think England will shorten his career as a world class player.

I've always said I don't think Messi would do very well in the PL. He'd get kicked up and down the league every week and would take an immense physical beating.

Playing in England, and to a lesser extent Italy, will pose different challenges for him. Not to make this another Messi vs Ronaldo argument, but one of the reasons I believe Ronaldo is superior is because his game transcends styles of play. In other news, James Rodriguez is signing with Everton for €25M. He should be the focal point for the club. I think he’ll have a big year.

I'm team Ronaldo no doubt and to me he's the better all around player. That's not to take anything away from Messi but I just think Ronaldo has proven more by doing more in different leagues and with less around him at times.
September 2, 20205 yr 55 minutes ago, DaEagles4Life said: Messi got paaaaaaiiiiidddd 700M Euro deal over 5 seasons for both Man City and NYC FC in the MLS. Report is he was also offered an equity stake in City Football Group, who owns both clubs, but he turned it down as he prefers caysh monay. So 33yo starting to show signs of decline and now going to play in the rough and tumble EPL. Think he makes it past 2 seasons at City? You would think the goal is 3-4 seasons at City before closing it out in the MLS.
