Agree with Wilson's points on Ronaldo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything Greenwood, and everyone else including Pogba, will see how a model pro at the very highest level manages his career. I'd be willing to be that he trains harder than almost all of them even though he's about 50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I enjoy enjoy news that doesn't make the fantasy visualize easier in their minds. Honestly, I hope Haaland goes to Bayern and Mbappe for whatever reason stays at PSG. Won't happen, but I feel that would upset the most people 😆. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While Real Madrid fans are some of the most entitled around, don't be surprised if the club manages to pull this off. And it definitely helps that Mbappe is starting to look like a free transfer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But have spent 50million less than Leicester in acquiring/buying players over the past 5 years. So they have plenty money. They just spend it differently.

They can spend on salary but not the crazy big transfer fees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
