Here's the games on my accumulator this weekend:
Liverpool 2-0
Newcastle
Manchester City clean sheet
Crystal Palace 2-1
Tottenham
Manchester United
Chelsea
Feeling pretty confident on the match predictions, but the correct scores are always hit, and miss. I feel like Crystal Palace could go a lot ways.
I was never fan of Ozil game. I admit he has soft touch and very good last pass but he just looks so uninterested on the pitch. I see him like a player who would be top 20 years ago, but nowadays everyone is so fit and players like Ozil are becoming extinct in top leagues. Should have been born earlier
I believe there was not many Arsenal supporters sad to see him go, he was top 10 in the world per wages and nowhere near top 10 on the pitch in his last 2 Arsenal years. Could be wrong though, not like I am living in London.
He was an absolute baller when he first arrived. I don't know what went on behind the scenes, but he was sort of alienated from the first team, and well just kind of disappeared from existence. He did have some average seasons where he would disappear in games, but plenty of other top players do too, and they don't just disappear. I feel like a move away from the club a few years ago would have benefited him. He was definitely one of the top players once upon a time.
I was not talking about English tax, I was talking about generally very high prices for young English guys. If they were born in some other country, let's say Denmark, price would be 1/3 for the player of same quality. Stones was great last season but was he that good when City paid 70M for him to Everton? I remember bitching about how he was overpriced at that time.
Yeah, that was my fault for assuming you'd know what I meant by English tax; I don't mean literally the tax you pay on income/expenses I mean generally fans from the UK call the expensive transfer fees of English players to English teams; English Tax, because their price is inflated because of the homegrown status that clubs need to abide by. I believe it's 8 homegrown players? I can't remember the exact definition, but its easily searched. I believe it's players which have trained at a English club from certain ages that are then considered homegrown.
