For the right price, absolutely. Poor form at the moment but the dude is undoubtedly a top 3 keeper. Change of scenery would do him good. As would not playing in a totally shit system for the first time in 5+ years
Liverpool/Bayern City/Real Juve/Barca Roma/Sevilla Seriously doubt we’ll get no domestic matchups, but this is my prediction.
And I’d take Courtois in a heartbeat Just got beat by the goat at his place, and the way you beat an ent like Courtois is to go low
Madrid’s fans perpetually not rating Navas is a shame after all this time but pretty typical of them.
Who said anything about not appreciating Navas? Dude was the primary reason they won CL in '16 and the double last year. He's going to be 33 this year though and there's little debating that DDG or Courtois are entering their prime and would be an upgrade
ter stegen has been great this year tbh. only conceded one goal more than oblak. but those are definitely the top 3
33 for a keeper isn’t too old at all. There have been rumors of acquiring another goalie every year it seems like. Probably because Navas wasn’t a shiny new toy purchased from some top club.
He was most def fucked over in Faxgate '16 and to his credit handled the entire situation with class and grace. By all accounts he's a genuinely good human being but yhe allure of acquiring Spain's #1 (who happens to be a local kid) is too enticing to Perez
Bayern/Roma Barca/City Pool/Real Sevilla/Juve Courtois is really fucking good and really terrible today.
I know he has his extremely detestable moments, but he’s seriously just a a rabid dog. He played like shit early in the year but his sheer desire is beautiful.
Can we stop trying to predict the draws ITT? It's even worse than the what if Lebron played soccer talk. Feel free to discuss the draws you'd like to see though :) Thanks, Mods
Hey don't forget about all of the neutrals watching. Our board has a large # of Spurs, Utd, and Chelsea fans.
Quarterfinals pairings are Barcelona/Roma Sevilla/Bayern Real/Juventus Liverpool/City which somehow feels really unsatisfying
Yeah, not thrilled. Shu post- crazy that all 3 La Liga teams avoid each other but the two EPL teams get paired.
Facts(based on my google search of past Argentina vs Brazil scorelines) Messi has never scored on Alisson.
To be fair Besiktas won their group so their opponent had to be someone who finished 2nd in their group and didn’t Sevilla win Europa?
I love Jose Mourinho strategy of defending his early exit from Champions League by bashing his own club "There is something I call football heritage," he told a news conference on Friday. "Since reaching the final in 2011, in 2012 out in group phase. The group was almost the same group this season. In 2013, out at Old Trafford in the last 16. I was on the other bench. In 2014, out in the quarterfinal. In 2015, no European football. In 2016, comes back in the Champions League and out in the group phase. In Europa League, second knockout, out of the Europa League. In 2017, play Europa League and win Europa League with me and goes back to Champions League. In 2018, win the group with 15 points and loses at home in the last 16. Seven years, four different managers, once not qualifying for European football. Best was quarterfinal. Football heritage."
Real Madrid have had a tough go of it so far in terms of draw. Put in a group with Dortmund and Spurs Draws PSG in round of 16 Draws Juventus in Quarterfinal
