Traore linked with Juve

[atypical_boro]

Facebook is full of folk saying we should have sold him for £80m to Wolves, instead of £18m.

And we should have inserted a massive sell-on clause too, whether he likes it or not.

Facebook is definitely the worst forum for Boro chat. I think it’s below COB.

Someone on there is livid that we only got £475k for Souness.

I hope he doesn't go there.

I hate the leagues with rubber stamped champions.

Would be interesting to see whether he could have a positive impact at a club that's challenging, rather than one that's guaranteed the league whatever happens.

I agree but where *would* be a good move? France, Germany and Italy (and Scotland) all ruled out. Leaves just England and Spain, but he’d be a benchwarmer at City who are the only club who’d probably pay the enormous fee for him. He could go to Spain but I doubt he’d get in the side at Barca or Real Madrid.

Maybe Man Utd? I don’t see Liverpool or the London clubs coughing up the cash.

Liverpool are 23 points ahead of city, and 32 ahead of Chelsea in 3rd.

Last year Liverpool and City were 25 points from 3rd.

Year before that city won it by 19 points.

The premiership is pretty much decided before a ball is kicked, and certainly nearly always between 1-2 teams. There's only about 2-3 teams that even stand a chance against the expected top 2.

4 different teams have won it in the last 5 years.
Bar last season, every time one team has been well clear, but it's not the same team every single time.

In the last 8 seasons tho, PL has had 5 winners.

Italy has had 1. Germany has had 1.

France has PSG win 7 out of 8. Spain has had 3 (?) but Barca have won 5-6 out of 8.

The PL has been way less predictable during the 2010s than the other “big” leagues.

In the last 8 seasons only two clubs have won it more than once.

You know what he means, Juve are about to win their 9th consecutive title, to say that’s the same as the Premier League is untrue.

You'd think with those stats that each football association would want some kind of effort to bring about a more level playing field. Football is heading towards a future of stale predictability. Like F1.

Manchester City have a Leroy Sane sized gap in their squad now.

He's definitely got more of a shot at starting for Real Madrid than Barca.

Hazard - New CF - Traore

As a front 3. New CF could be Mbappe if Madrid are serious about spending the moolah.

Facebook is the lowest for everything on the planet to be fair
