So why do English sides who've spent millions regularly get shown up by their Spanish counterparts in the Europa?

HalfTimePost Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 12 hours ago, WHY said: Makes me laugh when players talk about Europe, you turn the best league in the world down to play in Azerbaijan on a Thursday night. Even the CL only gets decent when it gets to QF/SF stage. Why not play against teams who regularly get to the latter stages of the European competitions every other week. I get players want to play at the highest level but the PL for the most part is the highest level. Tbf, Otavio would be a coup for us. He's been linked to Liverpool since they signed Diaz. He isn't a Rapid Vienna / Young Boys / APOEL Type 'playing in europe' player. He's likely to be able to play in the top 5 leagues and in Europe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Cheick Doucoure looks very close to Palace. If we sign a midfielder better than him I'll be very pleased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 12 hours ago, Wes said: Few more reports this evening that Galatasary are really interested in Morgan Sanson. I think Sanson will start in the pre-season game against Walsall a week on Saturday, and Gerrard may just make his decision based on that, and these first weeks of training, about whether to keep him or not. Trouble is there is a big difference in being "interested" and having the will and the means to pay us, what we would want for him. I would be interested in us signing Harry Kane, problem is I don't think we have quite enough in our wallet or that he would be up for joining our project. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they didnt care they wouldn't have had players like Bruno and Rashford playing nearly every Europa game West Ham dont have the depth but played Rice nearly every Europa game and even rested him for big Europa games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
