    and Modric

    and I don’t know if comparing anything to 4 CLs in 5 years is fair but they did just win it again along with 2 league titles and another CL semi appearance since then so not sure I’d classify that as a pretty big step backwards.

    To be fair, the Nexus Lewa take wasn’t much different than the Benz take

    I’m taking away nothing from it but wouldn’t put roster construction as a reason for this year

    I rooted for Real last 3 draws but come on, that was a miracle and a half

    Was the Hazard you were suggesting they get Thorgen?

    Hazard was never a saga, don’t think I suggested they buy him but saying him plus another star

    I’ll admit to being very surprised Hazard has turned into a bum but he did have a ton of wear and tear

    Hazard is like 75% Bum physiological so perhaps we all should have seen that coming.

    I was lucky enough to get to watch him play in person at his peak and he could wreak havoc without even possessing the ball. Lots of intelligent runs. Willian benefitted a ton from everything Hazard was doing.

    Clem was in denial

    Timing was off but good call

    You weren’t wrong

    So we have nexus to thank for the net spend talk

    Thought it was high at the time but seems fine now

    Surprising amount of love and hope for Davies

    Found this tweet amusing based on how defensively Chelsea have lined up

    A lot of opinions were had on Kepa/Alisson amounts

    Bad take by me. So glad Z didn’t leave.


    Was going to bump some of this Everton talk but it was too much


    Some random posts I enjoyed

    Kepa was in fact not very good but I still stand by my Oblak statement

    Hoilett has fallen off the Canadian GOAT cliff I’m afraid. Davies, David and Begovic (if Zlatan is a Swede, Asmir is a Canuck) make Hoilett look like a hoser.

    Would have still liked Richy for less to make more of a profit, but he’s been worth all 50 million
