PL Opposition Tidbits

[Dreambeliever]

I’m not saying they’re the same thing though. I’m also not saying there’s not a logic about it or that I’m livid either (see Fark’s response above).

Ultimately they’re both making choices to manage or play for a club that, though objectively are the biggest in the world, stand symbolically for something I think is less than soulful, celebrated or ultimately healthy in the game. Ergo, whether they’re scouse, been at the club 20 years, projected a thoughtful personal quality, been universally loved as a Red or whatever, played for Real before…they’re making a key career choice that tells me something about how they see themselves, their career, football etc…and ultimately how well connected they are psychologically, emotionally, to all that is special about LFC…

Whether It’s Trent, Xabi or whoever…a career move to Madrid to me means that they don’t fully get what it means to belong to this great club and community…you can’t have an emotional connection to Madrid and Liverpool at the same time, or at least to the degree that you really get Anfield …but at the same time, So be it…each to their own…

Xabi is completely understandable. Trent can get fucked.

So apparently it's all agreed between arsenal and zubimendi

Be interesting if Alonso goes to Madrid he might try and get in before anythings signed

Coaches don’t sign players, not least at Madrid. He’ll work with whatever Perez gives him.

Dont they have enough midfielders already?

They do but a little bit same same. They haven't got a natural replacement for what Kroos and Modric brought to the team.

I think Valverde and Camavinga are good enough. Tchouameni to protect the back line. Like it or not, Trent will be their Kroos.

I doubt that the Real board are going to allow Xabi to play 5 at the back.
