⚽️The Footy Thread: Lock Thread

Been seeing rumors that RM wants Lewandowski

The only question is when...

 

[flyeed]

Can't believe CR7 of last season, who was definitely a savage but just not even close to the best dribbler he's ever been in his career, has +4 dribbling compared to prime Ronaldinho. Blasphemous. Dude in charge of ratings should be promptly smited by the footy gods.

He only got these high ratings because he's the cover guy

The thing with Lewa is that RM have been avoiding acquiring players at his age for some time now

But Benzema is trash and he's still a beast. I think it will come down to how much Bayern wants for him. Lewa has been reported to want to play for RM for some time now. As suggested by his stupid hair and his wife I think saying they want to eventually have him play in LA, dude wants to raise his profile.

Can someone explain to me how arsenal would line up with two #9’s (obama/laca) and two 10’s (mkhi/Özil)?

My idea would be Laca up top, Obama and Mkhi out wide, Ozil in the hole. That, or who cares cause we're fielding an above average attack for the first time in what feels like ******* forever

Other big clubs may have feeder clubs,Bayern has a goddamn feeder league

The dough behind Alexis' imminent transfer to United...

- A 30 million pound transfer fee paid by Manchester United to Arsenal.
- A 14 million pound tax free payment to Alexis Sanchez. Manchester United will also pay 13 million pound in tax for the Chilean attacker. This means Manchester United will pay 27 million pounds in salary to Alexis.
- A 20 million signing on fee to Alexis Sanchez
- A 10 million payment to Alexis Sanchez’s agent Fernando Felicevich.

Edit - If this transfer is registered by midday today, Alexis would be available for the Burnley match tomorrow.

I said this last month before my post got deleted, but can't the Bundesliga step in and do something? Sort of like David Stern blocking the CP3 move to the Lakers. There's no parity in that league and it's a joke.

 

[sonoftony]

noooo, I hope he's ok

 

[ROYGBiV]

Hoping for the best Pele

Hope Pele is ok...

I posted this Nike commercial a while back. This actually might be my favorite in part due to using Fela Kuti's Alu Jon Jonki Jon... In hindsight, it kinda felt like 'Dinho starting saying his goodbye 3 months ago when this was released.


Ronaldinho's farewell message to his fans...

Thank you, my God, for this life you gave me, family, friends and my first profession !!! After almost three decades dedicated to football, I say goodbye to my biggest dream, dream come true !!! I did what I loved most professionally for 20 years, and 10 as a basic training. I lived intensely this dream of children, every moment, trips, victories, defeats, the review, national anthem, the walk in the tunnel, dressing room, field entrance, the soccer shoes I used, the good and bad balls, tributes I won, the stars that I played, those that admired and played and those that only played in the play, but I admire until today! Anyway everything was amazing !!! My father and my family supported me a lot to get here, it was a team effort. We arrived at the end of the first stage with a beautiful story to tell ...

You know me, and you are well aware that I am shy and I do not have the habit of talking a lot, but I have to say thank you from my heart, from a clean soul, for I have done what I love with the help of all, coaches, whole committees, leaders, cheer for and against, the bus driver, the wardrobe, the gandula, the referee and the press. Thank you, we built this story together, without you nothing would be possible ...

In the month of March we will make an announcement of how it will be farewell and the next steps. For now, here's my thank you. That famous phrase "gracias vieja" for being my source of inspiration for so long and companions of many victories !!! Thank you all for the messages and affection !!! A strong hug, I was very happy making this sport my life and profession.

These numbers are way off. No 30 to arsenal mkhi is the fee. Also why does everyone include wages when reporting fees united pay? Didn’t see anyone including Coutinhos in his atronomical fee

 

[rolaholic]

Damn really hoping Pele's okay



So all it really took for Shaw to get out of the doghouse was him being ready to throw hands for Mou during the post-derby dust up in the locker rooms

Dude has been starting matches consistently ever since

Lowkey surprised Alexis even knows who Troopz is,makes me wonder if Gunners actually watch AFTV regularly

 

[SadBoi]

Not even gonna lie, I’m excited to see Auba and Lacazette up front if the deal is successful.

That’s a scary attack.

efff Liverpool for supporting Jon Flanagan

 

[jape]

it's crazy how clueless our board was in the summer and how well they have done this winter
completely night and day
bortomeu deserves some credit after this summer's nightmare...he replaced some personnel and now seem to be back on track
got coutinho and yerry mina
resigned messi, pique, sergi roberto, and umtiti next
and we seem to be on the right track getting rid of dead weight
