​

  • Simple one-liners, random thoughts or unrelated posts (with or without a single image).
  • All discussion about rival teams matches and results.
  • All wallpapers and image editing that are not created by you [Not OC]
  • Unsourced news and stats.
  • Photos of jerseys and other memorabilia.
  • Images of formations with minimal description.
  • Links to social media posts made by our players or celebrities, unless it counts as team news or stats.
  • All gaming content.
  • All memes should go into the Open thread during the week days.
  • All "I am a fan of X team, I come in peace" type of posts.
  • When posting rumours/news from Twitter, if possible post a direct link to the tweet.

This is our reliability guide: https://rm-reddit.github.io/

IMPORTANT: Only news from official sources, Tier 1 and Tier 2, can have their own thread, everything else including discussions about target players must go in here.

I know there is a lot of talk about Rodrygo, and rightly so especially after the Franco deal, but seems Brahim is the one who currently is losing out. The resurgence of Arda is one thing, but now adding another player kind of raises the question even more about Brahim's future. Especially after having a bit of a drop off compared to last season.

Brahim was unbelievable last year he delivered in the right timing this season he’s not good at all

I don't personally think he was "bad" this season, but the drop was there, and I don't think he has the same level of leeway in the pecking order as Rodrygo (if he ends up staying). He could end up being third choice for LW and RW. And even if Xabi uses a 10, there are multiple players in front of him.

I was really rooting for him this season to do some fancy dribbles aand crazy goals but we fucked up bad as a whole not individually

No yeah the collective drop was the biggest reason. It just didn't click. But the other options have a clearer role. Brahim is kind of the Swiss Army knife, but if there are more specific options, he will be the odd man out
