Why are Barnsley and Bradford being so secretive?

Standard practice nowadays. You very rarely get fees made public.

I said this last time, Big Sam is playing for Oxford United so I hope you'll make a meme about that involving the two someday.

Why are there so few good DMs in current football?

there is only one and he likes spaghetti it was vey nice

Seems to me like all the good prospect are attacking mid/inverted winger hybrid things, and in a world where the no.10 position is less useful there just isnt really a place for them.

Only a small number of elite players possess the intellect required to play in the most important role. 160 iq is needed as an absolute minimum.

Is this /lig/?

>/lig/?

They evolved to just essentially be defensive CMs

>/lig/!

Tactics, same reason full backs were mostly dogshit the last 15 years

It's all happening at Stamford Bridge.

What a horrendous move

>ChelSHIT

who goes to derby then

Until recently, makes me wonder if it's the system or if Liverpool's fullbacks are actually elite.

I thought Lampard had a high iq, why is he accepting the Chelsea job now?

'ughton
'Onk

Would actually be a decent enough appointment.

Cant tactic that delivery, just has taken a long time for teams to produce the modern attacking full back, it doesn't happen overnight

Klopp has a habit of making shitters look really great so I wouldn't rule it out.

I just KNOW this is the same poster who also started shit with me over saying Sarri to Juve

Attached: 1535325792929.jpg (687x607, 96K)

Honestly we probably all need a bunch of apologies from a certain tricolour flag which has been flaunting their Sarri fax for weeks

Sarri has no club loyalty

>Italian loyalty
LOL

>the last time Juventus had a manager who had won the champions league before joining them was Capello in 2004

JUST

still waiting for an apology from that user who said max meyer would be good

he went to palace ffs

who thought he'd be any good

He is Italian
And a banker
An Italian banker

>Kalvin Phillips to Villa for £14m
Seems implausible to me, given his role within Bielsa's system, especially at 14. It'd be like Sarri selling Jorginho, or Pep throwing away Fernandinho. Can see Leeds setting a Fuck Off Price on the lad and selling someone else instead

>booing your own coach because the team is passing more
>English loyalty

There was one lad last summer that was very adamant

Looks to have been a retarded German.

iirc it was a brit

Hoof it to the big lad or fuck off.

Nonce >Schalke'd his own career.

>italian
Yep checks out

I don't get it, are Italians disloyal?

Let's do a historical timeline
>Romans
Every politician and general backstabbing each other for political power for 500 years
>Renaissance
City states have no standing armies, so mercenaries (condottieri) sold their services to highest bidder, would go to the designated target and demand a higher fee not to attack but instead attack the ones who originally hired them, and continue until eventually one part ran out of money
>WWI
Switched sides halfway through when they started losing
>WWII
Switched sides halfway through when they started losing

So to answer your question: Yes, Italians are and have always been illoyal. But in a charming way

There is always one. The real retards are those that listen

Is ndombele going anywhere? He is looking rather good

>carling cup
It was already named after a fucking beer, why are autists acting like sponsors are a new thing in football?

If I were Man U I would sell him..maybe even for like £125m

Because there are only wingers, CMs and sweepers now. It's why there are hardly any good strikers, defenders and goalkeepers now, everyone is playing a hybrid of multiple positions

The only Italians with loyalty that I can think of are Totti and De Rossi

This is more of an /int/ question probably but is Rome South Italy or North?

North

Neither.

Africa starts at Napoli right?

can't imagine living in a country that slants to the side like that. fucking grim to look at

it's a weird shape

Attached: italy-map[1].gif (900x1118, 147K)

I also find it weird that there are major teams on completely different islands. Like Bastia and Ajaccio are in Ligue 1, and Palermo and Cagliari are in Serie A. In England you can drive to each top league club. weird ennit

Depends on who you ask, everyone will say that where they live isn't the shithole south, but everyone south of them is Africa

Sounds like England tbf. I know a guy from Kent who swears everything north of London is "The North"

Spain and Portugal are the same with the Balearics, Canaries & Madeira.

Top 10 loyal players in the top 10 leagues (excluding players that are being released in a month or retiring)

Everything north of me is literally Africa tbqh

Everything north of london definitely has a distinctive feel to it though. it's like seeing women's football teams, the kits, crest, pitch and no. of players is the same but it's cute seeing it in a different context

We look at London the same way without the cuteness la

Wew, I knew Chiellini was old. But not that old

>Noble
If you exclude his loan spells then yeah.

Attached: noble-hull[1].jpg (720x1097, 128K)

The list does, and I'm feeling too lazy to factour out loan spells. It's a big list

yeah I can imagine london is p. scary to northerners, the busyness is probably really intimidating

Everything outside the south west is pretty much inhospitable.

>it's a big list

t. Carlisle

Don't forget the fact that whites are a minority in London too

Position is seriously undervalued and has been for years. The great DMs always got some lip-service but never the pay or balooned doors of the pacey wingers, tap-in and penalty specialists or the defensive man mountains. The value of the few decent ones around will explode (see DeJong) in the next few years and make it a more attractive position to play in for future generations of players.

Yeah, all those fancy tall buildings with their electricity and internets right scare me, they do. Heard they even have something called trains down there!

t' Yorkshireman

>Heard they even have something called trains down there!
Oh, they'll have that in that London

Most kids and teenagers will always want to be a winger/striker before anything else. All the autists will want to be a goalkeeper.

Guess its also what academy coaches push kids into training, since it makes them a lot more when those kids do make it big.

>but never the pay or balooned doors of the pacey wingers, tap-in and penalty specialists or the defensive man mountains
>you now remember Sneijder never got a Ballon D'Or

Are you implying Sneijder was a dm?

No, just that he wasn't one of
>the pacey wingers, tap-in and penalty specialists or the defensive man mountains
do you think I'm retarded

>iniesta never won a balloon door
Even scoring a WC winner wasn't enough

I don't know what's worse; the fact that FIFA pushed the Messi vs. Ronaldo Era narrative for ten years, or the fact that Luka Modric of all players was the one to break the deadlock (barring Kaka)

Yeah, it is only obvious now that he is gone how much he mattered. Truth is, DM position is really hard to understand and the vast majority of footy fans really are plebs, so, if you are a money grabbing jew, you are basically forced to push the egomanic goal poacher and, to some extent, clubs will even build their system around the most marketable players, even if it means winning less trophies (see Kane and Spuds), because the high iq players actually. intimidate and alienate the pleb fan mass and overly complex play has them switching off in their droves (and won't appeal to massively dumb but growing markets like the US).

Underrated post.

I feel the intelligent player is quite appreciated these days, they may not have the flashiest numbers, like Firmino, but they are fan favourites.

Liverpool fans love all their players though, they even defended Suarez being an absolute cunt

Well, yeah I guess.
