There’s probably an understanding in a game like that that you’re not allowed to tackle the pro surely? So a lot easier to score worldies when no one is tackling you lol.

Don't want to see him doing anything football related in July unless it's from the penalty spot.

The idea of elite athletes resting for a prolonged period is a complete and utter fantasy.

Athletes don't sit around being inactive in the off season. They didn't become the elite athletes they are by having a fat boy mentality of resting up in a recliner for 4 weeks during the summer.

They are active players in their 20's, full of energy and full of testosterone AND are millionaires with all the free time in the world during the off season. They will likely be training EVERY SINGLE DAY, unless they hate training like your Ronaldinho's or Hazard's - then they'll come back fat.

Check the videos of the players that returned from holidays. Ben White's like - I have been training every day.

It astounds me how overly concerned fans are for the health and well being of professional athletes. These man multi million pound finely tuned assets with elite mentality who push their bodies to the limit and internet people cry all day about wanting them to rest. It's hilarious - and If they get injured - it's ****ing normal. It's the risk they are willing to take for pushing the limits.

Yeah remember Gyok last summer not training for just a few weeks, took him months to get up to speed

Sure one of you guys will find it on your social media feeds somewhere.

Him and Mosquera are similar. I can see why we are after another CB to cover Saliba

 

[MikelHadADream]

Think we need to keep an eye on him this season.

Hes had a few blows to the gut recently, the penalty miss and getting dunked on by Haaland in the WC.

I think he was showing signs in the second half of last season that physically he’s not at his absolute peak anymore.

I’m not of a fan of him and Mosquera together either. Can see why Mikel wants another steady guy in there.

Wut? He is 28 mate, not 38
We played like 60 games, of course he won't be 100% every game in the second half of the season

Otherwise I do agree that it will be interesting how he responds with his buddy being out for significant time

 

[OnlyOne]

Thought he was incredible. Doesn't get much credit because it's just the norm with him.

 

[Frost]

Monster

 

[Mrs Bergkamp]

He was a rock and was pretty good offensively too.

 

[Vinci]

Fantastic, always gives his all.

Will probably suffer from brain damage when he is 40, though.

 

[SuperGoon]

This guy is willing to die for us and I'm not sure it's spoken about enough.

I can't decide between King Gabriel and Lord Raya as my favourite player.

Here's the neat thing, you don't have to!

 

[Blood on the Tracks]

Sometimes I think that Gabriel doesn't get the credit he deserves because he's not as flashy as Saliba.

In his own way he is just as good. He's an absolute rock and deserves to be in the conversation for best in the world too.

I don't know, I feel like the exact opposite is true, Saliba is slick and efficient without standing out for someone that doesn't pay attention to the details of the game, Gabriel on the other hand is very dynamic, aggressive, spins to break the press and release the ball, in general much more eye-catching.
