This is an interesting little rebuild, hope it works out. Both Messi and Busquets are absolutely still elite and could imo play in Europe if they wanted to, but they are also specifically lacking a bit in physicality, and I always hear how physical the MLS is.
The final act of Disco Elysium fucked me up for a while
Why exactly are clubs so reluctant to let players leave on a free when they’ve been at the club this long? Surely a player like Mbappe has sort of “paid back” his transfer fee after all the time he’s spent there?
I’m not actually a United fan so I don’t know what Sabitzer’s loan situation is. But I do watch a lot of them and Eriksen is definitely on his last legs. I think he becomes a bench player next season.
My take on their center midfield targets is that Mount is a good player and would be good for them but he still doesn’t solve their problem of progressive carries and tight possession. They need a De Jong type player and Mount definitely isn’t that. But the midfield is very weak so he’s an upgrade on what they have at least
I think he would start. He must be good enough to displace Fred
Chelsea are playing a dangerous game if they’re actually trying to move him on. 70mil for Mount with 1 year left is absurd, nobody is paying that. And I don’t see any benefit in him leaving on a free next year, it’s not like Kane with Spurs where he’s guaranteed to drag them up the table if he stays another year.
