Massive Weekend
- Thread starter Doc
- Start date
Hertha Berlin are trying to sign Maxwell Cornet, which can only mean that Cunha is signing for someone else. Club Brugge are keen on a move for Sevilla winger Oussama Idrissi, so they too have realised that money talks and they are cashing in on Noa Lang. So looking like those 2 wingers are on the move

There are a lot of positive things around football and players at the moment. We have Mason Mount giving the little girl his England shirt, Kalvin Phillips talking about his family and gran, Southgate everyones new jesus, Rashford and the school dinners, Sterling and hownhe got away from trolls and racial abuse to everyones hero, even Rashford sending the young tennis player who had to concede her match at Wimbledon due to pressure and nerves.
Then you get Gareth Bale, a man who is on £650k per week = £34m per year. He didnt play for his club for 2 years as he was unfit, but just decided he would carry on picking up wages and playing golf. He then agreed to a loan to Spurs and at times played ok but could never play a full match. Spurs wanted to keep him but he said no Im going back to Madrid to sit on his arse. He actually said he had used Spurs to get match fit for the Euros with Wales. This twat will do zero all next season and earn an obscene amount

I’ve enjoyed the feel good factor this week of England being in a major final, it’s given the country a much needed lift. I’ve not wanted today to arrive too quickly as either way, a week from now and it will all be forgotten and back to normal.
Like it or loathe it, Southgate has proven a lot of people wrong

Money or wages have ruined football. Yes we’re all biased towards Kalvin but I read a piece on Twitter this morning. Philips saying he owes being in the final to Bielsa who has changed him both as a footballer and a person, if Philips does decide (one day) that his future is elsewhere I hope the money never changes him.
The Klich debate is worth going into again I think as he did have a garbage season by his standards. Yes he came good at the end after spending time on the bench. I think it proved that we need either an upgrade on Klich or someone who can push him and cover for him, maybe a midfielder who can play a couple of roles. Lets be honest Klich played 92 consecutive league games for Bielsa, thats a massive workload and I think it took its toll on Klich as well as playing all those games on the bounce, he was also carrying a hip injury too last season.
Options:
Options:
- Dallas and Klich
- Klich and AN Other new signing
- Klich and an U23
I was looking for the green face sick emoji but we don’t have one
Alioski either had an absolute stinker at LB or he played a blinder, the stinkers outweighed the blinders for me. I think it was a case that when teams allowed him to get forward he shone, when he was called on to defend or his decision making was called upon it let him down.
I can’t pinpoint what went wrong with Klich. Was it when teams targeted Philips it gave Klich more freedom? Was he playing above his station at times and he isn’t really cut out to be a top PL player?
Klich was outshone by Dallas and the more I’ve watched Rice and Philips the more I’ve realised we have the ideal partnership in Dallas and Phillips. The downside is how much you rely on the other 4 to put the chances away.
Bielsa loves Harrison but he’s not afraid to drop him, I did wonder if Raphinha will move more central with our search for another winger but I don’t think so. I believe Bielsa has given up on Costa and Poveda isn’t the article yet. Bielsa wants a more lethal choice of any two from three.
Sadly I think Rodrigo is our (shall we say) number 10 to battle it out with Roberts. I say sadly as I’d much prefer to see him given a good run as our out and out striker and a proper AM player brought in.
I don’t believe all the NewsNow click bait garbage but the pattern I keep seeing is the preference of age, so that Bielsa can “mould them”. Firpo being sent off to train on his own as we do things “differently” confirms this approach.
I think if we get the chance of an experienced player for a bargain like Llorente we’ll jump at it but you get the feeling a winger is now the priority and maybe a ACM who Bielsa can mould and who might not be ready to shine until next season
Bale is a typical "I'm better than you kind of person." Watched some programme with him and he is a utter twaaat.
He's on a downward spiral now anyway, honestly hand on heart I wouldn't take him in our Leeds team even if we were offered.
one he couldn't handle the training and two he would constantly break down like Darren Anderton.
Send him back to Spain let him whack his stick till his career is over.
As on England as much as I want us to win, as a proud Englishman. I want us to do well any any competition Sport or not. But, I'm just not getting the vibe for these Euro's for whatever reason.
"Vibe" as in Screaming holy hell at the Tv and kicking and heading every ball as I do when Leeds play. Have I just grown up knowing England never win anything as they never have in my 40 years. well that question will be answered tonight. I also might have a spring in my step as we have something to break in Italy's 30 odd unbeaten run record as well of course of lifting a trophy finally.
but giving Southgate a knighthood and a key to every girls knickers is a bit over the top.
We have played every game at Wembley apart from the one in Rome against a very poor Ukrainian side.
No travelling, no disruption.
I'm sure I read a stat that the 4 teams in the S/F's were the teams who played all their group games on home soil.
Anyway I don't want to bring the Team down they have done very well in getting to the final and I hope we finally break that hoodoo.
As if we don't do it tonight, It will be very hard to see us doing it in my lifetime. everything has been laid on a carpet for us this Competition.
Final at Wembley against a Team who were touted before the Euro's as a middle of the road team who were in transition.
Let's be honest Italy wouldn't of been in your top 4-5 picks to reach the final unless your were Italian.
I just hope the game will be played as Football game with honesty
I hope it doesn't turn into a diving swan event trying to get players booked or sent off to make an advantage.
Italy are the experts in being the sniper shooting victims but England are no angels and have a few themselves.
On the game I think we will win. I think Italy have lost a massive cog in spinazzola he was wrecking many sides down Italy's left side.
2-0 England Kalvin Phillips with a 25 yarders would be nice to wrap it up lol.

This could be all total bollox but comes from something Graham Smyth said last week about Orta having a midfielder target who is under the radar but talks going well. A few days before this I had heard that we were talking to an Argentinian midfielder not mentioned in England once yet. So when Smythy mentioned what he had heard Instarted digging around Argentine sports pages, so far I have picked up a story twice about one player who plays for Athletico Lanus in the Primera League. 23yo Tomas Belmonte who has played for Argentina U19 and also a regular for Argentina U23 and on the fringe of the full National Side. Plays for a less fashionable club on the outskirts of Buenos Aries.
Only one reference Incan find over here and it says that the journalist has spoken to the club and didnt get an answer so spoke to the players agent who reused to confirm or deny contact. Unusual for a players agent to keep quiet as the norm is to big the player up?
Not much posted on You Tube except this and not sure this is brilliant, but he does actually have pretty good stats and has an average of 6.8 per game. Has great work rate and for a small guy great heading ability
So this will be quickly denied or it will be an inspired guess

Just a quick sad note about Paul mariner who passed away age 68, born up the road from me in Bolton he was a decent forward in his day, saw him in the flesh many times especially for Ipswich who had a good side then, very sad to many footballers gone recently r.i.p.

A bit ironic slagging the Eyeties for diving.
Yeah the cheating twats are the masters. I can't stand to watch them and they surround the ref every opportunity. Cheat cheat cheat. If they try and make a game of it tonight and win then good. But just to watch them rolling around makes me sick.A bit ironic slagging the Eyeties for diving.
