Pau! If u donāt know about me
Pau! better ask someone quickly
Coz, Pau,
Yea Iām Pau!
I actually donāt know about him, so figured I better ask quickly, is he any good?
Heās good on FM, so he must be irl
Yes, and Man Urd should have signed him last summer.
Iām seeing claims on Twitter that Mino Raiola has died.
If true, RIP. I know people hated his methods but he got great deals for clients.
Yep said it in the RIP thread but he made his clients very rich and ensured clubs paid up.
Pogba and Haaland moving this summer so be interesting to see what it means for those transfers. Heās been sick for a while so I imagine he hasnāt been as hands on anyway
People have to be responsible with information on SM
My guy tweeting while dead. Incredible.
Afterlife confirmed. Here we go.
Cc: Fabrizio 'Tap-In" Romano
Pogba
Mbappe
Dembele
Rudiger
Dybala
Tolisso
Isco
Onana
Crazy free transfer group this summer
Isco doesnāt even belong on the list because heās no longer a footballer
Bum
Gotta say, Wenger was calling this before most others.
Such a dramatic fall off he went from mega hype to total non entity.
That Real Madrid squad has so many passengers.
Marcelo, Hazard, Bale and Isco is sizeable outgoings in wages
Donāt forget Lacazette and AMN
There is also an unusually large āmiddle classā of players in their 20s who arenāt big stars but are generally well regarded players who have run down their contracts in the hope of the best payday and the most control over their future. Itāll be interesting to see how they do, as it really could be the new normal in football.
Some examples are Tarkowski, Ginter, Romagnoli, Belotti, Mazraoui, and Kamara.
Fuck me, as I think about this, Kola was really a trendsetter for this type of player. Agents probably looked at him conning Wenger into handing him 120k per week and thought āGive me some of that.ā
Didnāt Onana sign with Inter already?
Step One to joining Bayern Munich.
Kid should go to Dortmund if he knows whatās good for him lol
Players have realized the power of being a free agent. It is also good for your career to be a free transfer rather than relying on clubs to have a need & desire to pay for you.
Look at Matip, I had watched him play for Schalke & he was alright. He was never a special talent to have a big club like Liverpool pay top dollars for him. But since he was a free agent, he became a sensible option.
While players like Falcao, Zaha had to suffer the consequence of being an expensive.
