Other Football 2021/22

[Trumo]

Saw the photos of Grealish at his City unveiling and it looked like he'd had a haircut. At the match today though, he's still sporting that stupid 1990s Ian Walker abomination.

[Lee909]

Haaland 1-0 Dortmund

[Lee909]

And he has won a penalty

 

Haaland 2-0

 

Mind you this is the first round of the cup against a Bundesliga 3 team

[Lee909]

Haaland with a hatrick

 

 

Fekir just scored with a cross against Roma

 

Interested to see how Roma get on under Mourinho this year

[Lee909]

Not taken mourinho long to get the Roma players in with his tactics

3 booking in the first 40 mins of a friendly and should be 4

 

Dirty dirty cunt

[Lee909]

Friendly

 

Roma 3-2 down

 

Might have been a handball in the goal(probably was, accidental if it was)

 

6 Roma players surround the ref, he books one

Pellegrini carries on gets a ref, Mourinho storms on the pitch gets a red

 

 

Its a fucking preseason friendly

 

 

Roma really are going to turn into a team of cunts this year under him.

Can’t wait for it to turn toxic. 
 

The Italian press were the only ones to never crawl up his arse and never worried about calling the cunt out to his face. 

[Lee909]

Roma down to 9

 

 

[Lee909]

Oh and add another Roma coach to the list

[Lee909]

And then there was 8

You'd just break the bank and sign him before united do. Get the money back when we inevitably cash in our front 3. Imagine someone of his clinical ability alongside our players. How on earth did Dortmund get a free run on him  if we where so money ball clever scouting genius how where we watching minamino and ignoring Haaland. He's still only 21 too its nuts.

I think his twat of a agent and family wanted Dortmund. Good signing on fee  knew they could enforce a sell on clause to move him again. And knew he would start. 

[TD_LFC]

Because they were one of the few clubs willing to put the 75 million release clause in his contract and restrict what they would be able to get for him.

 

My only concern with Haaland is, at the moment, it all seems like a very well orchestrated cash grab on the part of Raiola and maybe his Dad. Will he have a release clause in his next move and is the plan to keep making him saleable in 3-4 year cycles.

[Bobby Hundreds]

Still he looks insane. Sure his dad probably still reads him bed time stories but christ if you saw him go to another English club you'd think shit! More than likely it will be United.

Doesn't seem that concerning depending on the release clause 3 or 4 years of a top player, there's more to football than making a return financially on your investment.

 

It's pie on the sky anyway he's out of our league

Problem is there's always more to football than finances until supporters want money spent. Don't think you can compartmentalise the two.

 

His current release clause is way below football inflation and when he goes they have to replace him, for Dortmund it might be less of an issue as they're viewed as a developmental team in a league where all the pressure is on Bayern Munich so they have the luxury of picking up a talented youngster and bringing him through even if they are getting half of what Haalands worth.

 

It would have been suicide for one of the bigger teams that were interested to sign him on those terms. Question is what does Raiola want for his next move.

 

(In footballing terms it's a no-brainer, the concern comes from a mistrust of Raiola and the disrupting effect he can have on players and teams).

All football agents should be dumped on the island from Lost, starting with Raiola!

[TD_LFC]

You could argue the likes of Mendes and Joorabchian (if you consider him an agent) are far worse than Raiola.

 

At least he's upfront with his greed, the likes of Mendes and Joorabchian are far more duplicitous.

North Sentinel Island might be a better bet.

Looks a player. Hindsight and all that, but surprised that a club in a bigger league didn't take a punt on him.
