I want him here as Correa's replacement.
where would we play him? I don't think having a midget striker will really help us.... Also, he didn't show me anything at Leeds that says he's ready to play for Inter.

and why the fuck ain't Botman playing for Holland. Van Dijk has become De Vrij level and should be benched.

They have insane depth in cbs. Botman, van de Ven, Timber. Instead they start an out of form van Dijk and Geertruida who's a rb. Also Dumfries starting for Netherlands when they have Frimpong is a mystery to me.

We need someone with pace and ability to dribble past the opponents, somethings that we lack. Also because of Leeds' relegation maybe we can get him for cheap. He does not need to learn the language either. I think he can be useful as a bench/rotational player and give us something extra upfront.

Ready or not doesn't matter. The point is that he was free, so are our current youth. And we are so broke and still have empty gaps in the team.

I wanna fill them with youths and spend on quality over quantity. Otherwise we are going to be flooded with grandpas, could go as far as reaching CL final and still having a thin squad and still having <0$ budget. This current situation is beyond ridiculous.

You wonder why six of our frequent players are leaving for free? Because our team is too old. Oldest in Serie A iirc.

Jeez, my Croatia is just like Inter. Very good defence, great midfield but slow and sluggish attack. Too many deadwood up there. We miss Mandzukic so much. This is like watching City Inter again.

Croatia has declined so much over the past couple of years. There's still some quality but in overall their game isn't as sharp as they have been earlier, and @bubba zanetti is spot on regarding their attack. Same happened in the WC as well. They have been let down because of attack's incompetence like big time.

I think in overall quality of NT level is pretty damn poor.

Well we are still very strong. Third place in WC and final of Nations league is phenomenal.Still getting results like these are little miracle. Our current population in 2023 is 4 million people, and we have cca 130,00 registered football players. Spain have 1.1 million registered football players. And compare Laliga with HNL lol So this is just great, we have so many talent it is insane! This team just lacks proper attacker. If fucking Petković would more train instead party and drink our problem would be solved. Immense talent but lazy drunktard.

I really wonder if Croatia has no extra time record. There is never a croatia game that ends after 90 min

i always bet on them, not cause they are actually that great, but cause they are just lucky all the time. When they play a good team, its mostly a boring game, but they somehow manage to pull it off.

Spain were ruthless on pens. All excellent shots plus heroic saves by Simon.

Oh, Croatia Croatia..Didnt happen. Modric have won so much , but this was missing.

Gnonto is starting for Italy and the fif experts keep saying our products deserve 0' first team minute. Even the 4th striker boots are too oversized.

If you're talking about trusting the youth generally then we used to have Satriano and Pinamonti in the squad. Didn't go very well, so people have reasons to be doubtful.

If you're talking about Gnonto specifically, then yeah, he looks like a real deal. Whether we have the money for him and he can play out of position is a problem though.
