That being said I'm with Ninpo, I don't think it's a controversial opinion to expect a player to be better at 23 than at 16, especially after playing first-team football at the highest level for most of that time (and at two different clubs, both supposedly renowned for developing youth talent).

Jose posted:diego costa suddenly became really good around that age vyelkin posted:Didier Drogba Both very very different types of players than the Ox though. Strikers/poachers seem like they peak a little later, part of that could just be because they get better and anticipating where to be.

I mean, he has improved. He just hasn't become world class. Also, on the topic of players improving in their mid-20's, I remember Xabi Alonso getting a lot better at around 25.

Lyon president says any deal with Arsenal would be "done for between 45m to 50m." Not quite the outlandish sums people have been bandying around

Jay Rodriguez is real bad now and it was just painful watching him, so I'm glad I'll no longer have to.

trem_two posted:Hakan Calhanoglu is apparently in Milan for his medical with Milan tomorrow, 20m transfer fee. Inter or someone else needs to sign Gokhan Tore just so we can see those two brawling on the pitch e: apparently they're friends again and the real beef was between Tore and Omer Toprak

He signed a pre-contract for Trabzonspor years back and took a 100k down payment before signing for Hamburg, so he was barred from playing since February. So uuh have fun his freekicks.

Xabi posted:A reminder that Xabi Alonso captained Real Sociedad when they finished second in La Liga in 2003, when he was 22. He was always great, and will remain great until the day he decides to leave us all. Totally worth alienating him in order to get Gareth Barry.

Starsnostars posted:Southampton have signed Jan Bednarek from Lech Poznan. I know nothing about him except that he's a defender and that I'm braced for countless people saying he's our van Dijk replacement. He's the cornerstone of Lech's defense. Which doesn't really mean much, considering they have lost all three games against us this year. Solid potential, but far from a finished article. Bench and reserve material for now, imo.

Apparently Leicester made a 21 million bid for Gent keeper Lovre Kalinic. On one hand, he's a great keeper and I'd hate to see him leave, but on the other hand, we paid like 3 million 6 months ago...

I can't decide if Tony Xia is massively irritating or actually p cool. Also, I think JT is too good for Villa even at his age. Would love to know how much they're paying him. Thirteenth Step fucked around with this message at 10:39 on Jul 3, 2017 |
