Also Drake losing like $700K betting on Barca just because they were sporting that stupid fucking owl logo is the icing on the cake
I know the gist of the Mbappe situation. If you had to bet on it, does he come to Real? How does the fanbase in general feel about it? I’m not close enough to the situation outside of my fifa career
It’ll be tough. If I had to put money on it I would have said that time heals all wounds and, eventually, he’d make his way to Madrid but now it’d take both sides giving up a LOT more than they would have 5 months ago to make something like that happen. He just watched a very “average” Madrid team win the league and Champions League and his friend & mentor awarded the Balon d’Or. If he ever wants one of his own (and he very clearly does) he’s gonna have to move to a major league eventually. Nobody is going to pay $400M+ or whatever insane price the Qataris want for him so it’d have to be another free transfer situation and even then he’d have to leave money on the table as nobody is matching what the oil clubs can offer.
could have very easily been 6-0 or more if not for 3 goals being called back for being minimally offside
Interesting that Tchouameni worked into the Gala XI immediately while Camavinga is still a sub. I don’t disagree with it but the latter can play 6 and the former 8 as well.
Tchouameni is further along in his development which is to be expected as he's 22 and while Camavinga may have a higher possible ceiling he's still only 19. Plus Tchouameni was very close to a like-for-like replacement for Casemiro (and other than maybe Alaba the only guy on the squad with ideal skillset for the 6) while Camavinga is forced to compete with Modric, Kroos & Valverde for minutes.
Yeah, like I said, I’ve got no problem with it, it’s just interesting. He’s certainly a badass for his age. Grabbed a Camavinga France shirt.
his development/minutes/position and how it's impacted by a potential Modric and/or Kroos retirement is one of the major personnel issues to watch next summer imo
very well could be unless something drastic changes between now and the end of the season I'll be surprised if Luka doesn't sign on for 1 more
