European Transfers & Rumours Topic

He can't fail - period. Why?

1. He's world class player with unhuman pace and fantastic power and strength
2. Huuge diference betwen Real&Barca rest of the league (Ronaldo&Messi scoridng 40+ regulary)
3. Poor/soft defeding in Spain plus lots of space (atacking footbal from almost every team)

Healthy Bale will succed there.

Yeah, I'm sure he won't fail, just saying if he fails they can get at least 50% of what they paid.

There are some early reports that Real Madrid already made 49 mil in marketing for his transfer.
Notably, a clinic paid them 10 mil just to ensure Bale does his medical with them.

Not sure is everything true about it though...

I am sure that someone from Madrid's marketing pumping that stories because it's not nice to give 100 milion for footbal player in countrie who is in bigest crise over last 2-3 decades.

So they are saying that Ronaldo and Kaka paied off just by shirt selling, they even earned on Beckam and now clinic give 10 milion for checking Bale's ass. I am not buying that.

I for one for sure don't believe that. Those are just random number and it's like Bale alone made then 10% of their total revenue in just 1 day. That's for sure is not true.

I didn't fucking know Juventus managed to sign half of Domenico Berardi...



Boakye, Immobile, Gabbiadini, Zaza, and now even Berardi

Fuck you Marotta, Juventus scum

It's solid investment. They may get a solid striker out of the bunch. All of them have youth on their side but none of them seem potential world beaters. Berardi possibly the best of the bunch though.

Indeed.. Gabbiadini showed some excellent form in Sampdoria's preseason, showing some stark improvements from his tenure at Bologna. If he manages to keep up his current form (having already scored a goal in two games played), I'd say there is a possibility of him becoming a breakout star this season in Serie A.

Simone Zaza also proved himself to be quite the interesting prospect in Ascoli last year, and while Boakye undoubtedly has talent, much of the hype died down last year when he didn't meet the massive expectations initially set in his debut season with Sassuolo on loan from Genoa (before his purchase by Juventus).

Immobile can really go either way; I can see him becoming a consistent player in the future, but there is the possibility of him flopping out next year as well. I doubt that Juventus really have any hopes for him at this point, with him similarly unable to meet the expectations set in his breathtaking season with Pescara during his Serie A debut with Genoa.

Imho Berardi, however, is a talent, possessing the potential to be really world class, if managed well. He's got very strong technique, and Juventus have a wonderful asset tbh for their future, and even the future of the Italy NT. Shame that Inter couldn't snap him up beforehand.

 

[skeet]

None of those players have even come close to being at the level of Kovacic, Icardi, Belfodil, Taider, or Jesus.

There is absolutely no reason to be upset about Juve buying some young players who were decent in serie B and/or made the occasional appearance from a shit team's bench every now and then.

If those players weren't Italian then nobody would even give the smallest of shits about them, and seeing as how buying every half-decent or slightly promising Italian has been Juve's thing for as long as I remember, I wouldn't be too worried about them becoming one of Juve's star players in the future.

Juventus got off their ass and built their own stadium to generate income. We can't complain now that they're reaping the rewards, we can complain about them being cheat scum, but when it comes to them signing fantastic players...all power to them

 

[Black&Blue]

Mario Gomez to Fiorentina for 15m + 5,5m bonus
Alvaro Negredo to Man City for 24m
Roberto Soldado to Tottenham for 30m.


3 strikers of the same age (all born in 1985) but only one of them is world class and was paied for way lesser....
lol at the english clubs overpaying normal players.

 

[Cal]

Actually, some may say that Gomez is the worst of that 3, but its debatable I suppose

Find me someone who can say that without having a straight in his face.

Seriously Mario Gomez career speaks for himself,there's no comparasion with these overrated spanish players.

 

[Dylan]

I never understood why people don't rate Gomez. I mean christ, look at the scoring record.

 

[Pajo]

I guess since he often misses sitters and is sometimes clumsy.

Tho, he is great striker. His off the ball movement is priceless, and he is also hard worker. Not world class, but great striker nevertheless.

 

[Dylan]

It's a bit harsh to say he ''often'' misses sitters. Occasionally but it's not like you could call him wasteful. Clumsy yes but I'd rather a clumsy forward who scores a shit-tonne of goals than an average all-rounder.

 

[Pajo]

Well, it's often there's no game i've seen from him, to miss at least 1-2 sitters or 1 on 1s.

However, since he has great movement and attacking instinct, he constantly enters into chances (and to be fair, he always has great midfielders/wingers behind him to assist), and he scores shitloads of goals. Misses much, but scores even more, so it's not big of an issue.

 

[wera]

I'd rather have Soldado than Gomez at Inter, tho.

 

[Pimpin]

GOMEZ>>>> Soldado and negredo

Mario Gomez is a beast, i never understood how does FIF underrate him so mch

 

[wera]

because he wasn't that good against Inter

 

[Black&Blue]

because he wasn't that good against Inter

Aside the fact that I don't judge a player based on a singular performance when he plays against us but I remember that he scored the winning goal in the first leg of the CL at San Siro in '11 and also scored at Munich in the return when we won 3-2.... not that good? are you kidding me?
