Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Kel Varnsen completely agree. Very odd.

Claudius

We need to continue to work Williams. This kid is so good. The new winger conversation only goes as far as Williams and Rodrygo for me. I really don’t want a Doku, Sancho, Pedro Neto, Mudryk situation.

tazmania

Claudius he's an Arteta winger. Match made in heaven

Claudius

Zubimendiiiiiii

USArsenal

Zubi puts Spain ahead

MistaT

Anyone got a stream?

Mirth

I’m sold on Zubimendi - oozes quality.

Claudius

Zubi doesn’t need a walker like Partey and Jorginho. Getting a man in his prime

Sicario2

Leao is a maverick but so entertaining. Would rather him than Sane.

tazmania

Sicario2 leao is 3x the player sane is

tazmania

Leao and Mendes on the left is a cheatcode

GooneriC

Leao brings a bit of chaos , anti-Areta so we'll never sign him

Sicario2

GooneriC leao is what we thought Pepe was going to be

Mirth

Merino taking pens like a striker now as well

USArsenal

Fuckin Morata

Sicario2

If CR7 wins the World Cup next year he’s will be the undisputed GOAT

QuincyAbeyie

Sicario2 lol

Mirth

Sicario2 frankly if Portugal win the World Cup with a 41 year old then sure. Although it'll not be a conversation about actual football ability at that point.

JazzG

Sicario2 That conversation was settled, 2 x Copa America and World cup between 2021-2024 finished this argument off. That world cup win by Messi, he was one of the driving forces not just a member of the squad.

Sicario2

Mirth he scored 8/9 for Portugal, he’s not just some bit part player. A year is a long time in football but this is Ronaldo we are taking about.

I remember back in the day (2003-2004) I used to debate on old football forums that Reyes would have a better career than Ronaldo. How wrong was I.

Mirth

Sicario2 You’ve got to stop assigning value to bit part tournaments that UEFA conjure up to make money

The nations league replaced international friendlies and the quality and intensity is about the same. We’ve seen Ronaldo in both World Cup 2022 and in Euro 2024 when he was younger and still off the pace.

So yeah, if he does win the WC next season then that would be incredible but nothing that’s happened this summer should be a factor.

JazzG

GooneriC From what I've seen of him this season doesn't seem as dominant as the past. Wonder if he just needs a move to get back to his old ways.

Sicario2 I remember back in the day (2003-2004) I used to debate on old football forums that Reyes would have a better career than Ronaldo. How wrong was I.

At the time Reyes looked like he would be a better player, you can only call things as you see them, can't control what happens in the future. The Man Utd fans say a lot now but back when he first joined nobody expected him to hit these heights. It was clear he would be a decent player but not this good. I know as I used to be on Redcafe a lot at the time and remember what they used to say.

MistaT

Sicario2 -- and Queresma was regularly viewed as more talented and likely to be world class

Claudius

Mirth in Nations League defense, this is quickly turning into my favorite tournament. The structure encourages teams to be competitive throughout. The seeding puts strong teams against each other, and the incentives around seeding points and tournament byes encourage focus.

These semi finals and final were some of the most enjoyable international football I’ve watched recently. UEFA /fifa are always messing around in the name of greed, but this is a winner

Sicario2

Mirth did you see the way CR7 cried when he won it yesterday? I think he is the true barometer given he’s won everything in the game bar a World Cup.

The Portuguese fans and players celebrated. This may have been a glorified friendly tournament when it started but it’s evolved into a credible tournament.

For someone who has never seen their team win a CL or win the league in 21 years or seen their nation (assuming you support England) win anything you do put your nose up at most trophies/tournaments. We can’t be that arrogant.
