Today’s Football 2020/21 Season

I've discussed it before but Erling Haaland is an absolutely amazing striker who will be at the top of the game for the next decade. What a player.

Zlat part II. Big Scandinavian lad who scores goals for fun no matter where he goes(so far) with the attitude to boot.

Haaland is the player that Zlatan thinks of himself as. Haaland stays on this trajectory and it won't be Zlatan who we're talking about him with.

I think size and Scandinavianess aside Zlatan and Haaland are fairly different as players fwiw. I kind of think of Haaland as Lewandowski with a lot greater level of natural athletic ability.

Can sort of see the point they are making tbh, but the Championship clubs will argue that they shouldnt be ripped off

Let them all fold.

Can see their point though; if you're struggling so much you need aid from PL teams then maybe don't reject £20m bids for your centre halves

They don't need a bail out when they can reject reject 20 odd million for unproven players.

The money should go to League 1 and below

The blokes an absolute freak, its honestly like he's been made in a lab.

The Ibrahimovic comparisons are lazy, just because he's Scandinavian, tall and a striker. May as well compare him to John Carew or Elmander in that case.

Its that combination of pace, power and technical ability that will put him at the top of football in the next couple of years.

Not a good look for the PL imo.

But you can see where they are coming from, some clubs in the Championship spend a lot of money and pay a lot of wages, plus how can you ask for a bailout but refuse bids?

They are willing to help L1 and L2, just not the Championship.

The midfielders named in the England squad makes me want to vom

It just seems a bit petulant and almost like they're holding out on helping 24 clubs with varying degrees of financial stability because they can't get a few decent talents on the cheap from 1 or 2 of them.

Dead right Tin-Tin, but I think it needs to be a consideration in L1 & L2. For example, Charlton have been run into the ground by greed and poor ownership, you have to question how PL clubs should step in the bail them or others in similar positions out.

You're bailing out the supporters and communities around these clubs as much as the owners. They've done nothing wrong.

I agree. Nobody wants to be funding some aspiring championship clubs promotion push. But some kind of fund to keep struggling but well run clubs liquid seems reasonable as part of a football pyramid.

There must be a way of assessing weekly losses that are due to Covid 19 and compensating that or a proportion of that.
