How has De Boer looked? Heard some early criticisms about his line-ups & tactics. Also saw complaints about players playing out of their positions. Is everything cool with him?
I think hes been fine either way its way too early to judge. We've only played two competitive matches now and havent played a single league game yet so anyone complaining already is just being mad extra imo.
 
Looked like De Boer made some lineup n positional changes today and between that n being at home looks like it worked...seemed like they were pressing more too, but they needed goals anyway
 
Aren't those metal straws a hassle to clean?
Some restaurants here use metal straws and I'm like "hell, no"... I don't trust them.
 
Word on the street is Tagliafico will be sold this summer. Drawing tons of interest from a bunch of major clubs, RM being one of them. 25M-30M euros feels like a fair price for Ajax to part with him. They scooped him on the low from Independiente. So Ajax is two points behind in Eredivisie, chasing down PSV, who has only dropped one domestic fixture all campaign. In December, 2-1 L to Feyenoord. While also remembering Ajax may have to replace FdJ, MdL and Tagliafico this summer. I'm a bit curious why ten Hag doesn't start Neres more in Eredivisie. We saw against my Madrid, the boy can play. He's turning 22 in a few days. They'll surely get double or triple the fee they paid Sao Paulo, in like two years when Ajax decides to sell the Brazuca.
 
By random chance, has anyone caught a La Liga match at Vallecas? Scouring Viagogo for tix when RM visits "Los Franjirrojos."

Also awfully tempted to cop PSG tix when Nice comes to the French capital. 290 euros apiece for section 106 (two rows back) at Parc des Princes.

I know there's a dedicated jersey thread, but figured I'd throw it in here. Just copped RM home CL Vinicius, LFC away CL Bobby and PSG home Jordan CL Marquinhos.
 




His full statement translated

"A return from Mourinho? I am sure Pérez has already tried to bring him back a few months ago, he is the only coach he respects, he imposes his authority on the players, he imposes his authority on the press. "

'He has already and always trusts him. I'm sure Mourinho will be at Real Madrid next season'
Need this to be true for the potential lulz,El Clasico has become far too tame these past couple of years :lol:
 
Even I’m tired of Calderon commenting on Madrid.

ajax is probably going to have to replace ziyech too
dortmund are pushing hard
ajax is gonna have a lot of money to play with
 
He's probably still got some sources at the Bernabeau but his media briefs and comments always have an anti-Flo slant :lol:
I probably have more sources than Calderon at the Bernabeu, Flo don't **** with him

Thing on Mou with Perez is he would like to bring him in if he could get the best qualities out of him, but Mou hasn't shown anything like that in years.
 
Mourinho is past his sell by date. He’s also shown to be too stubborn to learn from his tenures at clubs. Any club would be dumb to hire him after his last showing but I hope Madrid does it lol. All things considered he would be an upgrade on the current manager

Yea the only way I could see a top club going after him would be if he was willing to reinvent himself as many great managers have but he's far too prideful to be introspective enough to even recognize that he needs to change his approach. He'll always blame external factors for his failures which is why I can only see him being successful in international footy in the future

His tried and true methods aren't really compatible with modern players and club set ups

:lol: this is exactly what everyone said before united hired him
 
It’s happening, I called it in January....

This is absolutely the job Zidane wants, I’m tired of reading the “Zidane to Chelsea” rumors - that’s never happening, especially with Juve lurking.

 
Chelsea's def gonna be all over Allegri,Roman loves his Italian managers
:lol: this is exactly what everyone said before united hired him

He pulled the okey doke on the club :lol:,

He was sounding all positive and different when he first got hired, as he probably eas during the contract negotiations, getting everyone thinking that he changed for the better and saying he wanted to build something longterm until reverting back to his usual self once the going got tough

Doubt another big club will fall for it again.

Still maintain that he needs to take a sabbatical and do some soul searching but he keeps saying he once to be back coaching by the summer...

Maybe Inter will come calling once they get desperate
 
When Mourinho goes to Real Madrid....


I want hand written apologies to Roman Calderon
