Feyenoord isn't even close to seed worthy, Mainz, Celta Vigo, Gent, Krasnodar, and Southampton are all better than them as well as most of the sides in pot 2how the hell does Man Utd, Feyenoord and Fenerbahce end up in the same group?
they are all seed worthy alone.
Didn't Wenger confirm it together with Perez after the 3-1 win over Watford?Finally made Mustafi official. Defense was what was really needed. Thrilled.
As a brazilian, I must say: I hate Luiz more than I hate everyone else MY GOD DUDE IS AWFUL MY GODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDBony is gonna kill it at Stoke great move.
I have no idea what the fuck Chelsea are thinking bringing back Luiz,terrible defender; 38m isn't cheap.
Not necessarily true. I think I remember reading a report that winning the champions league gives you less money than finishing last in the premier league. It might be something that happens down the line but you can get a pretty big financial bonus for being in the prem for even a seasonthis transfer window has been stupid.
15m for ibe, 30m for sissoko, chelsea rebuying david luiz for 38m, 48m for stones. makes me sad as a championship side supporter as i know even if we ever get promoted (we wont for ages), we won't have the financial power to do fuck all
Yeah it was brilliant tbh.Didn't Wenger confirm it together with Perez after the 3-1 win over Watford?
Better than paying that clown 90k a week. His agent must be a very good seller since he still manages to convince Nice to pay him to "play football".Liverpool are literally giving Balotelli away for free lol
It's disappointing to know that the club wasted the majority of the window chasing Koulibaly instead of lining up someone just as good as a back up plan.......and like you said, there were so many that would've been better for their valuations. That being said, my first reaction was one of amusement rather than dismay, mostly since Luiz already has more PL experience and now has more experience in general, and because if any one can make him look better than he is, it's Conte. The only thing that bothers me about us buying him back is that he's now 29 but I suppose we don't really need a young defender with Zouma recovering on the sidelines and Alonso also being signed (though I'm still skeptical about him).So the luiz deal kind of strikes me weird. He isn't a great defender but he could be decent at defensive midfield. If he provides competition and isn't the starter in big games but gets switched in and out at dm and cb for most league and cup games then that would be a pretty decent move. They are also buying him back for cheaper than they sold him so you could look at it like that, but on the otherhand they already spent the luiz money on plenty of other moves. I am not sure what center backs are available that Conte would like but I would assume for the price of luiz, they could have gotten someone better. La liga, Ligue 1, Serie A, and Bundesliga are ripe with players that can perform David Luiz's roll for a less expensive price. I guess being a fan favorite has helped him out tremendously in returning
Do you mean the Markus Alonso signing? The guy who previously played for Sunderland? I reckon he's quite lightweight at that time.I suppose we don't really need a young defender with Zouma recovering on the sidelines and Alonso also being signed (though I'm still skeptical about him).
