    Yea the subtitles are a joke. Kluivert is good, but not good enough at the moment. He started this season in Ajax' 2nd team, a youth team but as the season progressed he was getting more play time. Here's a skills and goals video of him. There's a bunch of them on Youtube.

    What the f--- did ajax get lol? No mean to s--- on Johan's legacy, but we don't play the Europa league lol.


    As if it was even debatable.

    Which i seriously f---ing doubt.

    Ajax seemed like a romantic team in my opinion, it's just a lack of experience and assuming they aren't bought out , they might be future world beaters. Utd don't have any room for improvement because of how limited they play, which is why you are speaking of massively changing up the club, which is what you did last year.

    Mourinho's success is very temporary and all he will do is leave your club in shambles. Overrated manager with one dimensional thinking and boring football. Disgrace that Man U fans will accpet trophies over quality of play. Low standards imo.

    Ehh idk there was some clever man-orientated defending that I saw in that game I found interesting. They didn't particularly make a low block like most teams do, but they did a fantastic job at cutting passing lanes whenever the ball was being played in build-up in the back and Fellaini was tasked with pressing the midfielders whenever they either want to play the ball into the halfspace or basically any passing channel. This sort of preparation is not easy to pull off, any error in discipline and the whole scheme turns to s---.

    Ajax will live and die with their philosophy, as admirable as it is, it's an open invitation for any team to turn this into a "defend the Alamo" game. The one comfort you guys can take is that it was awesome seeing you guys in a European final again, such a legendary club needs to be more competitive and assertive.

    They're doing it for him.

    He is going to develop much better with Monaco than he will with Real or Arsenal. He wont make the starting 11 at real and arsenal would be career suicide

    He's destined to be a gunner.
    Idk, Arsene wants to make him the centerpiece of the team, obvious with that price tag but he would be much much better off with Arsenal than Real.

    Apparently Arsene met the family last year and he likes Arsenal, but I've heard that too many times before. Also believe Arsenal offered much more money up front than Real.

    Aguero/Jesus/Nacho
    Sane/Alexis(Roberts) Bernardo/Sterling

    Fernandinho/Mooy/Delph


    Mendy/Kolorov Walker/Maffeo (Pep wants another R:emoji_sunglasses:
    Bonucci(VVD)/Otamendi Kompany/Stones

    Ederson/Bravo


    We're going to have insane squad depth

    What player has Arsene not met with and wanted to make him a centerpiece?

    He wouldn't do well with Arsenal. Not enough quality and players who are motivated to win, especially with Ox and Sanchez leaving. He wouldn't fit in

    My guess is he moves in the next window, but a man can dream

    He'll either move to Liverpool now and then move to Real/city before he turns 21 or he'll move to real/city next season. Needs more developing.

    He'll probably come to us and replace aguero

    I know this thread has a strong number of Madrid fans but CMON JUVE, Buffon deserves this the most.
