Man, I wanted City for the sake of my sidebet with Bitcoingirl.club- shocking Halaand didn't take that PK. Pep needs to go man, the whole team looks shapeless. I prayed for days like this.

Do you think Chelsea can save your sidebet? I have no idea about this team Real Betis but it looks like there is a $315 bet from me for Real Betis to win or draw LOL

They gave you a sense of hope in the first 45mins after that early lead, right?  Well, it's all because to our naive bald manager, who nearly ruined the game with his terrible lineup before realising his mistakes in the second half and fixing them.  Manchester City has saved your ass this season.  What a waste of a side bet.

I usually do not follow these games but I was following the match and yes they were giving me hope that I am going to get some 0.003 BTC soon even with a draw I would get it.

It means none of us were able to make some cash? 😂

Yes, the worst side bet I've had for a long time- one of the reasons I was so upset with Halaand gambling with PK in a cup final, knew Chelsea was going to win but needed that FA win so badly for City. Is it what is it.

You got so lucky at the end. Mistake was not setting a tie breaker

Damn Liverpool meaning biznes man. 2 players from Leverkusen and 1 from Bournemouth and 1 already confirmed, with 2 signing soon. I really liked the value of 2 guys already but hmm Florian for 110 million seems a bit overpriced for me? Maybe another Nunez flop? Whats strange is how fast Manchester City got players in January but so silent now!

Winners mentality right there, at this pace I won't be surprised to see Liverpool defending the title next season but what I'll love most is their progress in the champions league because they looked like the only premier league club that could achieve something over there. Chelsea has also gotten themselves a striker but I don't fancy him that much. I thought we'll be going for Osimhen that's a prolific striker but we went for Delap. On the other note, I want to congratulate all the prize winners again and want to acknowledge that I have received my reward for being one of the highest points earnings. Irrespective of it being a split reward, it was still big. Thanks to the organizer and sponsors too.

One of the best young players in the world if you ask me. Well worth the price, and I honestly still can't believe we're close to getting him.

I've been following Liverpool since 1998 and this is the biggest 'statement' transfer of that time.
All other big players that we bought (Alonso, Reina, Mascherano, Torres, Suarez, VVD, Alisson, Salah, Mane...) were decent at that time, but nobody would have rated them among the best in the world. Wirtz surely is, no doubt about it.

Lol how on earth is Wirtz worth anything close to 100m? What has Liverpool turned the market into? Money laundry? Same way y'all hyped Nunez transfer- I will be here.

Bayer Leverkusen has another overpriced young kid. I'm not sure how they do it every season, but it's ridiculous how everyone falls for it.  I am sure if it was Chelsea, Liverpool fans would be in tears all over the place.

I guess if he's as good as they say then 110 is good price when compared to 85 for Darwin Nunez, but I'm always a bit careful about players coming into Premier League for the first time. That said I guess Liverpool like to buy players they see played well against them. Salah, Mane, Alisson, VVD, all played against Liverpool and then got bought, not sure about the rest before you mentioned.

I remember having some argument with @Igebotz recently that I liked Liverpool because they bought players when they were not yet world class and this is what I meant. Florian does seem to be the first pricetag hype buy, so lets see

Is he good ? Yes, is he worth 110m? No, German tax? Yes, are Liverpool into money laundering? Yes, do I care? No.

Bellingham, Enzo Fernandez and Caciedo were some of the few players they inflated market price for but got rejected but Manchester city and Chelsea are the problem..

The best scout talents are not worth 100m+ - don't come here tomorrow and tell me Liverpool got Florian before hype. Other clubs only left out of the deal because of his overpriced market.

Most of the actual market price in football are overinflated, and i cant see this coming back to normal numbers, plus in Premier League we have one more problem, all the world knows the teams from Premier League have tons of money so they ask for more everytime a Premier League team seats into the negotiation tabble.

I always use Cristiano Ronaldo as a reference to show how inflated are the numbers, Wirtz at the same worth at Cristiano peak? No sense.

Yeah, Premier League clubs make too much money; other leagues see us as Saudis and give us the Saudi treatment every time we come to the table. Liverpool and Manutd ruined the market for others.

If Bayern Munich wanted him, they could have him for less than €50m with no problems.

...

...

What? Liverpool?
They are 7th in net spend in the last 5 years, and these are the years in which they were spending a lot.

Their 5-year net spend is 220 mil pounds, Chelsea's is 670 million - even higher than United's (600 million).

In the last 10 years? United - 1.1 billion. City - 920 million. Chelsea - 850 million (highest actual spend - over 2 billion in 10 years time). Arsenal - 850 million.
Liverpool? Not even 400 million, so yeah, Liverpool is surely ruining the markets. Them and Aston Villa, Chelsea is saving football.

This is incredible, always when i read it its just incredible. How Manchester United spend that much for literally nothing at all and being recorded as one of the worst teams ever.

Chelsea another joke but not the abd joke as United. And seems like they are founding some light in the end of the tunnel.

[un_rank]

Their scouting business has really been poor and in many instances, so has their choice of managers over the years. Ole really has been the one with an actual plan, or looked to be. I wonder how well he is doing in the Turkish league now.

I wonder how different Chelsea's season would have been if they have gotten Enrique last season and actually given him the freedom to make and influence transfers.

yes, but also one of the most surprised things for me is how they dont try to make what Juventus master for a lot of years and that was contract players who are free, they wait until the contract expires and after that they give the player a very good deal in the salarie and they save all the money for transfers.

[igebotz]

What? Liverpool?
---

Yes Liverpool! None of the clubs you mentioned have ever broken the league transfer record for a Goalkeeper, defender or striker- now your team are about to smash the record for a midfielder, but you are not ruining the transfer market because Saudi clubs are coming to balance the books for you.

Have you asked why Real Madrid withdrew from Wirtz deal and why you're the only club in the race? The asking price is ridiculous for every reasonable club except Liverpool..

I wonder how different Chelsea's season would have been if they have gotten Enrique last season and actually given him the freedom to make and influence transfers.

Our project is quite different from what's happening at PSG - they have a better and more experienced squad than us. He would have struggled too.

Sancho returns to Manchester United to continue to earn his 300k/week after he rejected our 120k/week offer to save his career. Liverpool/United over to you Reds!

[un_rank]

You have to have good pull to do that. Look at Madrid with Mbappe and Trent (I know they paid a bit to get Trent earlier, but it is nothing compared to his actual value), these players will not agree for the deal if it were some other clubs. You also need good scouting to know which players will be a great fit for your team which is lacking at United.

Their squad is not really experienced and with the amount Chelsea has spent you can acquire experience along with youth.
Both projects looks kind of similar with the focus on youthful players over stars, except PSG is adding a balance to the squad.

The "amount we have spent" how many of those players are in the first team ?

PSG already had a league winning squad, more experienced at the back and midfield, only few young additions to fill in some left over space- exactly how I expected Todd and Co. to run ours.

Bacelona and PSG projects are the same - experienced + Prospects.

Manutd getting my two favourite FPL assets Cuhna and Mbeumo just ruined my week + Bruno rejecting mega Saudi deal to stay at Manutd.

A good amount of a club investment should be in the first team, no?

I actually expect to be up there next season, most likely a higher finish than 5th and also possibly a push for the title.

Those were good deals for United and they completed them quite quickly to ward off any challengers. Got to make the team click together.

Yeah i know but Manchester United was always a great team until this last seasons, and every player now wants to become the players who comes and rebuild United from the ashes. So i can see something to work there.

And about scouting..... seems like they dont have a pretty good one, but i also have to say they are not so bad in their unders, because Diallo is pretty good for example, and some of the players develops from United reach good positions in others clubs.

[igebotz]

Yes- bit just making it clear that more than 70% of our total investments are playing outside the first team; the new owners are running a poultry farm- buy, loan and sell for profits.

Those were good deals for United and they completed them quite quickly to ward off any challengers. Got to make the team click together.

Heard Mbuemo is demanding 250k/week - he's not getting anything close to that amount at anywhere else except Liverpool and United. Make more sense now..
