Harry Kane set up a new record. First Bayern player to score 7 goals in his first 5 Bundesliga matches. He also has already 3 assists, all 3 for Sane.

But if you think that the 100+ million Euros brought Bayern the best attacker you are wrong bc it's VfB Stuttgart's Guirassy who already has scored 10 goals in his first 5 matches lol

Nobody cares about that nine season wonder.
 
S-o-Paulo.jpg

In this moment, I am euphoric.
Not because of a regular season victory, but because my team finally managed to win the goddamn domestic Cup for the first time. The one trophy that was lacking in São Paulo's gallery!

Now excuse me because I need to finish my 12-pack of beer.
 
Henderson is arguably better than the both of them and we got him for like $12M.
People seem to forget Henderson was god awful when he played for United and wouldn't be anywhere near the team if he didn't have the fairytale story of being at the club since his youth. I'd much have preferred us keeping Kovar than having Henderson for another season.

The one benefit to having Onana so far is we're finally making attempts to grab the ball during set pieces into the box. De Gea had awful handling, he played like he was allergic to holding the ball.
 
That nestor goal was awesome.
God, I never screamed a goal like this.

Once the match was over, I literally drove drunk off my gourd through my neighborhood, blasting the São Paulo anthem at full volume. Thankfully I didn't hit anything, at most people will think I'm an annoyance but I can live with that, kek.

The coolest part was the fact that our coach Dorival Junior won both the Cup and the Libertadores with Flamengo last year, but then their higher-ups got greedy, fired him like he were a failure and hired that guy from Corinthians in hopes they'd win everything like in 2019. They didn't win shit this year. And now had to suffer being beaten in the last competition they had any hopes of winning by a team commanded by Dorival himself.

That, my friends, is cinema.
 
Haven't they bought a very young Ukrainian guy for 100 mil or so last season? How's he doing? I barely hear anything about him anywhere.

As bang average as you'd expect from a Boehly era Chelsea signing but for a player that they spent £100 million on? Terrible, as far as I'm concerned if you're not putting in consistent world-class performances at that kind of value then you've pretty much failed as a player.
 
I'm sure Chelsea will learn a lesson by the end of the season (meaning, they'll realize they haven't spent enough and will spend even more money on another set of average players.)
Their problem right now is that they can't do that anymore. They have hit the very limitations on amortization spending. I think its like 70 or 80 million of expenses hitting their books every year on these sets of players for the next 8 fucking years. So they were able to get around spending a billion+ on players over the past couple of transfer windows but through the accounting "tricks" (they aren't tricks its just understanding accounting and I hate when people say that) they moved all their expenses back 8 years. So they are essentially stuck with these players for a while until the capitalized expenses on their books will match or be lower than a transfer price they can get for the players

Jonny Evans has more assists than him in one game than Mudryk has had this current season.

I'd feel bad for him but he's a cunt off the field and he also plays for Chelsea.
 
Tomorrow it's FC Bayern vs RB Leipzig and Leipzig just fired their director of sports Max Eberl which is fucking wild.

Last year Eberl was sports director for Borussia Mönchengladbach but he stepped back bc of burn out and depression. 6 months later he hired at Leipzig. People in Mönchengladbach hate him for that and claim that his burn out and depression was just fake and a way out of Mönchengladbach so he can work for Leipzig.
But immediately as Eberl started working for Leipzig rumors popped up that FC Bayern wanted him which was odd bc at that point Salihamidzic was still sports director (who got fired this year after the season ended bc of the chaos in the club). Since then the rumors about FC Bayern being interested in Eberl came up again but since Ajax Amsterdam fired their sports director a few days ago there are reports that connect Eberl with Ajax.
And now he got fired from Leipzig just 24 hours before their match against Bayern and the reason the club gave for firing Eberl is that "he didn't identify enough with the club" (???).

I think what is funny related to Mudryk is that Brentford was after him for two seasons and Shakhtar Donetsk kept raising the price for whatever reason. Went from £11mil up to £35mil. By that point we got priced out and Arsenal (who seemingly are linked with a few of our players now) stepped in, only for Chelsea to buy him for an estimated £62mil with add-ons raising it to nearly £90mil.

Do I think he'd have worked at Brentford or Arsenal? Frankly no. His personality has shown to be more trouble than whatever price-tag either party could have got him for.
