Don't want to speak for them but from memory yes they did. I also asked an Italian person on another forum I'm on and his response was "why would one of the best defenders in Serie A join Sunderland, no offence?"
Watching us go through that and the likes of chris maguire scoring hattricks against us makes all this now worth it! was a proper grind going to the match
'Can say what he wants' - Erik ten Hag single-handedly appears to BLOCK Granit Xhaka transfer to Sunderland | The Sun https://share.google/sQX6c5GC27lG2xVxY Could get messy this.
Ten Haag is only helping raise our profile with all of this. Other players aren't going to just be thinking that a legendary player wants to come to us. But that a legendary player that's still too important to Leverkusen is coming to us.
There was once a time when European club champions were an elite version of football. I would say as much of 70% of it is now diluted. The quality of some of it so poor it is bizarre. I include some of the early champions league stuff in that too. I look at some players who have champions league on their CV and smile. Really odd. Even worse you can get knocked out of one cup and drop into another. I pick and choose my games to watch carefully.
same stuff as yesterday that their sporting director has said if they get a fee they want a transfer will hapoen, ETH just wants to not look weak imo and probably wants replacements
For those who complained about Neom + Saudi ruining football, know that we are on the other side of that argument with Leverkusen fans. Imagine finishing 1st and 2nd in the Bundesliga, playing in the champions league, and then hearing your captain wants to move to a newly promoted side in England. A lot of fans across Europe feel that the Premier League has too much clout.
It feels to me, especially with ETH’s comments about seeking important players already, that he’s getting the excuses in early for when their season doesn’t go as well as their fans expect.
Theyve just broke their transfer record on a striker so probably not them I want Zak Johnson to go there
For some reason this won’t open on my phone. Can someone who can see it please tell me what his strengths are?
I saw a post on insta linking Birmingham to Mitrovic for £12m. I’m fairly sure it was AI slop but it did make me think. Is he still the player he was? And if so, what would his real price (and wage) be?
I can only assume part of the attraction, for players, is financial … … I don’t watch any European football now, the thrill has gone.
