Yep, it's beyond shambolic, Top quality centre backs was the most importart thing for us to resolve.
Goalkeeper was a close second, and fair enough at least we got that done early.
I am really pleased that we signed Maddison but Centre back was/is far more important.
There is still time but imo we need 2 and we need to bed them in and have a proper pre-season, otherwise you end up starting the season with the usual suspects, which could really put Ange under pressure from the get go.
With that logic we would only be buying players from the PL. And goalkeepers are a bit of a different proposition, in that they adapt much more quickly because their main task is to make saves. As someone else said, a shot in the bottom corner from 6 yards out is the same in the PL as it is in Italy, or Spain, or Slovakia.
On the bright side that also means we haven't signed Lenglet!Another day passes and still no centre backs.
This actually makes sense
It might feel like that but it’s not true. Bayern won the league on the final day of the season.
Bayern won the league by 0 points (goal difference) in a thrilling end to the season.
PSG won the league by 1 point.
Man City won the league by 5 points.
Seems like it was a lot closer in Ligue 1 and Bundesliga than the premier league.
I also used excel to do as you suggested. I worked out the average distance between each team from the winners. Bundesliga has 2 fewer teams so 4 fewer games but they were so far ahead it won’t change anything.
Bundesliga closest.
Then Ligue 1.
Then the PL.
So if we look at what actually happened last season, the PL is not amazingly competitive. In fact it compares quite poorly.
Almost like inequality is bad for competition.
You’d be surprised.
He was a player Betis had purchased from PSG. The loan was with us, in order for them to not have to pay less of a sell-on fee to PSG.
Already having Gianluigi Donnarumma, Sergio Rico, Alexandre Letellier and Keylor Navas their goalkeepers I doubt that position is PSG's priority right now
Maybe I should have concluded the AI reasoning, but I probably got lost during the way.
The conclusion is that Jonathan Davies probably is a better match for Ange-boll than Dusan Vlahovic

I doubt he'd be that thrilled
Really like him too Szoboszlai but they really needed fresh legs. Fabinho and Hendo running is like watching Joe Biden walk.
Klopp hasn’t nailed a transfer since Edwards left.
Well yes. Of course, I'll remember to thank it.Nice AI-generated post.
IMO the most robust and apples-to-apples way to make this comparison is betting markets.
City is a -125 favorite to win the PL next year.
Bayern is a -400 favorite to win the Bundesliga next year
PSG is a -670 favorite to win Ligue 1 next year
Real Madrid is a +105 favorite to win La Liga next year
Napoli is a +200 favorite to win Serie A next year
That tells the story of the relative jeopardy at the top of those leagues pretty accurately, I'd say.
Not quicker than peak Sonny, no. But more physical, powerful.
Quicker than Richy. Also a much more prolific striker, more powerful. But hey Richy is
's #9.Fcuk me that would be desperation on their part in my opinion..
Be curious to know how many on here would rather we spend say 30 or 40 mil on that Celta kid than a big fat 0 on Gallagher?
* Yeah I bloody know Gallagher wouldn't come on a free *
Betting odds for next year tell a better story than actual results last year?
Hmmm ok
