At least I’m not deliberately misquoting you!
Where did I say that he was shit in 2014/15??
Well, thankfully, we've put a stop to that then. So what should be our new goals/the new expectations since that other stuff was for cucks or betas or w/e word you would prefer?
What did we win the 5 years prior then? And how many CL did we qualify for?
I would imagine that after answering those you will better understand the overachievement that the last 5 years was.
The transfer committee, of which Poch was a part, probably decided, as they have with many loan options recently, not to improve someone else's player because of either a high loan fee and/or no buy option. Just spitballing.
Here is my take on this; his agent is attempting to smooth the waters ahead of another possible attempt to flog him to us this summer. He is on crazy wages, has bombed at two massive clubs, there's very little interest in him, and the only way is down.
Yeah, I was thinking that this morning. Also applies to any other player the agent represents.
I was also thinking that Balague could be lying to back Poch up.
Or Poch could be lying in case he wants to sign him in the future.
I guess we'll never know
Whatever about the quote from his agent, the notion that the Coutinho deal collapsed because "Pochettino was keen to keep the dressing room equilibrium as he has always preferred to work with young players, develop players" is pure fiction, IMO.
If that was the case, how would you explain our interest in Dybala, for example?
Do you think Jose would go for him?
Go for Coutinho? Perhaps. I am sweating blood worrying about the state of our player recruitment, Baz.
Tbh mate I can’t get enthused over any of it while this crap is going on other than having the odd cunt off that is!
Levy out
Lewis out
Poch out
Jose out
Bring back Timmy
And Sugar!!
He's available and his price will be rock-bottom since Barca's leverage will be nil such is their financial state. They will be giving him away (IMO). His wages are a different story. His bit of individual brilliance is exactly what Mou needs and the shiny object to appease a certain group of fans. Sigh.
It seems team building is a very rare skill in football. How many teams are greater than the sum of there parts? So few.
I read somewhere he is on £240k.
And it will be his last real contract if he were to go this summer. I hope it is not to us but I can't really see anywhere else for him to go that isn't 'down'...and even that is down. Maybe Bayern, after paying ~10M loan fee, will have some interest when Barca are begging folks to take him.
but this could be our new VDV move Five. DL getting him for relative peanuts and PC is good at doing fuckall all game but scoring the odd banger to get folks excited. You liked that one and perhaps this one will scratch that same itch. This type of player seems right in your wheelhouse.
I am sure I read Bayern have no more interest than the man in the moon in buying him.
The way this guy plays, you would barely know he is there. No interest in the dirty work and couldn't run a game to save his life. I watched a Schalke v Bayern Cup fixture from a little while back during the week. He wasn't worth a damn between the lines. Hanging around in the left half-space and the edge of the box. Almost every pass seemed to be a backward one.

No way would Levy sanction anywhere near that
Harry Kane is already said to be pushing for an increase if he stays, so who knows?
Man on [sic] the moon interest in Brazilian starlet - Five
So you've seen the whole of his game then? Why Klopp was so determined to keep him I will never know. Perhaps it was personal because it couldn't (or shouldn't) have been tactical. Though I may have had my quibbles with CE at least he was an actual playmaking 10 unlike this joker. Wish he would have stayed at Pool.
He gone!
He hasn't gone yet but after next season probably after all is the club going in the right direction for him I doubt it.
