You've shared literally nothing, which is whole point.
Don't say that, you'll be compared to Mrs Brown's BoysYou've shared literally nothing, which is whole point.
Thanks for that context, very useful.Hello, Lyon supporter here.
All that fuss about Joao Gomes is actually hard to understand from our point of view. We already have two similar young players in the squad, and Joao Gomes doesn't seem to offer what we are needing at the moment: experience, height and physicality.
The official narrative is that the club were following the player for almost 2 years, and that the new owner provides means to conclude the deal. But, frankly speaking, it is hard to believe. And most of OL supporters don't get why the club try to force things when the player made it clear where he wanna go. We all like players who keep the words that they gave.
There is something obviously political in all this. I haven't seen it mentioned here, but there are ongoing feuds about the organization of professional football in Brazil. To summarize, 2 groups of clubs are behind 2 different projects for a Brazilian league. Flamengo are among the prominent support of the one called Libra. Botafogo, owned by Eagle Football Holdings, the group that just have bought OL, are also backing Libra, but not as strongly as expected and this position needs to be secured by its promoters. That could explain why, despite the local rivalry between Flamengo and Botafogo, the former are willing to please the latter. (More details about it to be read in this article)
Anyway, I hope that my message would be insightful to some of you. I also hope all of this come to a rapid conclusion, and that this young lad can enjoy playing football soon, wherever it is.
Good luck for the end of this complicated season to you!
Oh, Marçy Març wasn’t that bad.Thanks for that context, very useful.
You still need to make up for selling us Marçal though.
Good God, he was. Where attacks went to die.Oh, Marçy Març wasn’t that bad.
Should ask why we signed a LB/LCB to play as a LWB I guess.Good God, he was. Where attacks went to die.
