Im not gonna lie you guys are missing on Gimenez. He is the mexican haaland for feyenoord, except his link up is actually good. He's a nasty finisher, and he has insane positioning. He's bad for mexico because all our wingers can't cross. I am not lying he single-handedly cooked city but he didnt get the hype that gyokeres did.

[@Mcmbby]

As Mexican this hurt watching they will see how deadly this man is and how good his hold up is the man is good in the air as well idk what this hate is all about for 30 million that’s a great signing they will see

[@uliseslima5717]

Facts only reason he don’t play good for Mexico it’s because of the team didn’t like how they bashed the signing I thought it was a great signing

[@santiagodelucio7393]

Bro came to feyenord no one was there for his arrival, left with the whole fan base loving him . Also broke Suarez record for most goals in a calendar year in the Dutch league

[@comissar8953]

[@6stated]

The luka doncic trade is like if lamine yamal was swapped in a deal for KDB. Both are good but one is constantly injured and has a few years left in him while the other is has a decade in them before they even reach there prime while they are already insane rn

[@FLUZTEX]

Arsenal fits rodrygo perfectly he can play in his natural position and can be the x factor for them

[@mo12j1j5]

Him and a striker are all we need, but we are not getting either

[@karasikitamar9811]

Rodrygo dosent need to move club real madrid is the best club Itw it's the best environment for him even if he's not the main guy he's still one of the best and most appreciated players in the team since his cl hat trick it's just the media dosent appreciate him as much as vini or mbappe cuz he's a level below them of course he's gonna get less recognition for his work even now I do not think he's our best player even though he scores the goals Bellingham has been very underrated this season his role changed he's amazing or even mbappe who's getting his confidence back just hope he plays as good when vini gets back, and carlo ancelloti cannot handle or use his players properly so I think we should get alonso especially if we get trent

Tchoumeni btw 100m flop nobody talks about,constant horrible performances and everyone keeps acting like he’s good because he’s wearing the Madrid shirt

[@ohmyyyy]

I dont watch but he got 7.2 avg rating he good i guess

[@randomperson8572]

nice ragebait, somebodys gonna fall for it

[@matiasescobar8730]

He makes many mistakes in defensive concepts that create opportunities for the rival every time he is in Central and when he plays as 6 he is very limited with the ball, only offering his physique in defense, being one reason why Madrid had problems at the beginning of the season. He is at best a 70 M 6.

[@goat42069]

as a real madrid fan i dont like tchoumeni that much

[@TOlp-oe3fp]

@randomperson8572 In denial lmfao

[@jeditzz]

Genuinely look forward to these every Monday🔥

[@michaelgillow8683]

As a huge NBA and Serie A fan/soccer in general, your talk about the Luka trade was super interesting to hear the thoughts of the broader sports audience

[@Malik-k2h9l]

Yesterday was the craziest day in the history of the Nba. The football equivalent to the Luka trade would be Mbappe and Lewa trade. A franchise player for an older player who is riddled with injuries. did you see the Dearon Fox three way trade? Spurs are looking scary.

Can I please have a sit down one on one with varvar about AC Milan’s transfers. I’ll only take 10 minutes of your time. I have hit my wall 5 times in the span of the 7 minute segment on Milan. I’ll get free dominos, have a nice cup of coffee and I can explain my reasoning. Please get back to me as soon as possible.

[@Jessie-pu2ug]

Finally some boxtobox content 🔥

[@Sleepys._.]

Santi with a goal and an assist in 75 minutes already 9 away from varvar's prediction💪

[@munirnayfeh94]

Varvar is incorrect ab Gimenez feyenoord have had a 40m asking price for the last year which was reported when Forrest tried to get him last summer

[@Mcmbby]

Var Var being negative about the Santiago move for 30 million yet United paid for a non proven striker named Hojlund who was 20 for 80 million and zirkzee for 40 million when santi is better than both players Santi 105 games for Feyenoord getting 65 goals and 14 assist make it make sense😂🤦🏻‍♂️

[@vaiibe5847]

AD for Luka is basically Mbappe for Neymar, 25 year old in his prime for a 32 year old player with injury history.

[@abostonfan3684]

Roydrgo been benched the whole season and has similar stats to vini 😂😂😂

[@YousefAlhumaidi]

Great Pod! I agree with Mili's opinion on John Duran because it makes more people watch the league because of a future talent, it benefits Duran because he will get a nice bag, play with Ronaldo, Mane, Brozovic etc, and can come back at 26 and still go to a top league. I kind of wish Hakim Ziyech was also talked about because he moved from Galatasaray to Al-Duhail in Qatar benefits him like Duran because he's older and gets the bag, and it benefits the league by being Arab so the Qatar fans will want to watch him play.

[@Boas_CR]

1 hour and 18 min in, did not hear a single grade

[@FeVa8-]

I have defended varvar my whole life but today you lost Rodrygo is so clear of Palmer foden and even saka this szn As a Madrid fan I would be happier when rodrygo receives the ball than vini although he is still the best

[@wayneverhoff2790]

[@youngshiva714]

Im ngl that luka trade is one of, if not the craziest trades in nba history, mavs really got fleeced

[@Licha20licha]

Nico gonzalez went to city..and barcelona got 24 million 😅

[@alexsousa6526]

They didn't, porto bought more % of his pass. They got 13 million

[@teddy_0872]

So is Varvar going to say something about his 'We are Madrid we don't cry and make excuses like Barcelona' crying again like little boys or will he stay quiet and make excuses like all real fans do?

[@MF18.7]

That’s what every fans do but he’s proving his point wrong 💀

[@teddy_0872]

@MF18.7 of course every fan does this But no fan base acts as hypocritical about it as Madrid fans Even Carlo said something similar about Xavi while he himself has cried multiple times about referees And there is no chance that Varvar will admit it

[@MF18.7]

@ it’s varvar, whatcha except to a Man U/ Real Madrid fan?

[@Georginioball]

“Makes excuses like all real fans do”, look at a comment section after every game barca loses a game and you’ll see the fans barking because the ref didn’t give them 5 pens and 3 red cards, meanwhile real who was robbed of a pen and a red card makes excuses

[@hassanomar5597]

​@@Georginioball the point is barca fans are bad when they point out the mistakes of refs in laliga. Madrid fans never make excuses like barca fans according to varvar and still him and other Madrid fans are blaming refs for their loss

[@maddexgoo2445]

look forward to this every monday

1:07:08 varvar was yapping so much he got cussed tf out by both mili and ferms 💀💀

[@shoulderescape]

I would agree with Varvar about Mathys Tel if anything he said about Spurs was true. Half of the players he mentioned for him to compete with are injured and we have an option to buy for 47.5 mill. Also Sonny is overworked and needs some rest eventually. As a Spurs fan I am very glad we loaned him.

I congratulate you for not talking about Barca

[@MuradKhan-zo5kj]

The rashford deal is even better value then what you worked out, he technically moved on deadline day, which was in Feb, and his loan will end 1st of June, all competitive games will be over in May, so really the loan is only 4 months, that's 16 weeks wages only and no loan fee and no obligation to buy, no risk, but if he works out all the reward.

[@wayneverhoff2790]

The football equivalent trade would be Mbappe for VVD and an unnamed Liverpool academy player

[@Trentlover321]

Vvd is better than mpabbe rn

[@wayneverhoff2790]

@ 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@wayneverhoff2790]

@ 21 goals and 3 assists says otherwise. 99th percentile in shots, carries, successful take-ons, touches, and progressive passes received. 97th in progressive passes given. 95th in shot creating actions. 81% passing. Mans been on fire all month.

[@Trentlover321]

@ The best defender itw vs a top 5 player on his team

[@wayneverhoff2790]

@ VVD might be the the best defender itw (arguable, wasn’t last season or the year before) but Mbappe might legit be the best player on the planet. As a Madrid fan there is no denying he had a slow start but hers turned it around and his body of work since he was 17 remains. VVD is prolly a top 10-15 player itw regardless of potions. Mbappe is comfortably top 5. Luka wasn’t having his best season ever that doesn’t make him not top 5 itw. And AD is comfortably an aging top 15 player whose greatest strength is defense just like VVD. VVD walking into Madrid would undoubtably make Madrids defense better (which is what Nico Harrison wants for the Mavs) bht would ultimately make them worse now and in the future which is why it’s idiocy and you would never trade VVD for Mbappe or AD for Luka despite both being future HOFer

[@mr.clarkyfromlatvia5456]

pala wanted to end that debate so much he ended the podcast

[@dontenterthischannel2995]

VarVar is 100% right about Rodrygo. It’s not about starting at a team, it’s about being seen as the main man. Unfortunately he is being out shadowed by Mbappe, Vini and Bellingham. It’s similar to how Neymar was being outshined by Messi, so he had to leave to PSG to become his own man. Rodrygo needs to become the main man of a team of similar standing of Real Madrid to finally being considered as one of the best in the world.

[@elidrippin]

Ferms is like talking to a wall sometimes haha bro dgaf it’s pretty comical

[@joshuaspratt8143]

Tel Loan has a buy option, £60m original deal price, requires player consent. Spurs are bombarded with injuries and need bodies to help reduce minutes for the players playing every 3 days. Fantastic deal. Varvar just salty he rejected United. Big Ange made the call and tel packed his bags immediately 😮‍💨 Cannot wait for the crash out when tel scores a brace against United next prem game week.

[@fla1sh475]

When is the power ranking 😭

[@jatinchaurasia-yq2so]

I am a Madrid Fan for almost a decade now & as this season goes on & on and I don't see this Vini , Mbappe & Rodrygo front three playing for real madrid next summer I think someone might leave I don't want anyone to leave but as things stands we will be looking for a new manager also things are not going well for us right now !!!!!!!!!!!!
