People that follows the Bundesliga, what's your opinion on Julian Weigl?

Benfica just signed him for 20M€ according to portuguese media. Which is a move very unusual for Benfica since we normally go for unexpensive south american players so we can sell them with a profit.

He had one world class season 16/17 I think where everyone and their mother wanted to buy him but has since then played very average. Stable, calm, does his job, makes very little mistakes but also doesn't do anything flashy

Edit: just checked market value. Goes from ~4 mio to 24~ mio in a year 16/17

Average for Dortmund, that still can be the best player in the Portuguese league, or just globally average?

I just want to pop by and say happy New Year everyone. I'll also explain my unintended lack of posting highly opinionated posts by saying my school gave me 3 days of for Christmas +2 for the weekend so I did the obvious thing and flew to Osaka for the week. Osaka was great and is highly recommended if you haven't been there. In my absence there has been an incredible amount of football and a lot of talking points that I shall not bother taking the time to talk about. But as a whole the Premier League has changed very little and Liverpool are still walking it. I hope there is more title fight action going on elsewhere but I haven't had the chance to check yet. Anyway have a good new year is the general theme. I toast to anyone who has a drink in their hand reading my posts and if you don't I'll wait for you to pick one up and then toast you anyway.

Also Exeter have had a good Christmas and are now second in League 2. But I would be lying if I told you I did anymore than goggle that 10 seconds ago.

I'd say average for a Champions League regular, which is more than enough for most other clubs

Btw, if my quick math is correct, City can finish at maximum of 95 points this season. I think that settles the bet.

Indeed. City broke down even more than I predicted. It was clear to me that they were going to have fatigue this season and not the hard desire like the previous two seasons.

Yeah. I think they gambled in not replacing Kompany and then Laporte got injured. That alone meant it was going to be tough to get near 100 points. Then you combine that with the fatigue, focus on UCL and lack of hunger and you've got a recipe for the current results.

Well I havent read it but problems or not will also depend on the cutoff of the season and when were the outbound transfers booked and specially when is the tv money received for each season.

If it is at the end of the season, that is bad, if the payout is received mid summer then that might just be a timming effect. But as mentioned, didnt read the thing.

Yeah Hazard money, Morata money all not included in that, as it says 30th June lol. It also was creative accounting on our part due to knowing we won't be bringing players in that we added some of the other offsets needed to not put through next accounting year. So Morata and Hazard money alone after that is 150 million plus, then whatever we can "afford" to spend on top of that for January onwards.

But does look bad though on paper xD

Yeah. I think the more interesting questions are how much money you actually need for the rebuild and which positions you address first.

I find it really hard to gauge which youngsters get to stay and so on. I don't think I can lock down more than 4 players on the starting 11 that are definitely #1 options after next summer.

There was also some talk about Kepa leaving or not being Lampard's favourite. Any tasty rumors on that?

By the looks of it, there is more money needed to fix the team than expected.

I said it before, the club would get rid of the coach rather than Kepa due to the investment in Kepa. He is 24 years old and is getting better and better, he isn't in the best of form now nor the best in the world but he is only getting better and better.

Haha yeah sure, just like today was shit again right. 24 years of age is only getting worse.

Also Torres is never ever gonna be our worse buy because he won us the champions league, for the small price of £50 million, so yeah i'll take £50 million for a champs league

Chelsea looked like they were just trying to play out the second half no intent to go forward at all. Just from an entertainment stand point they deserved to be hit by a stunner because they weren't prepared to do any entertaining themselves.

Spurs not looking great at Southampton. The teams at the bottom have played some great football this season. That's why Liverpool still been unbeaten is even more incredible.
