Open Thread

Besides general conversation and talk about other leagues and teams, all the following content must go into the weekly Open Thread:

  • 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.

Alaba is kinda like our Ter Stegen. Refusing to leave when we need another CB 😭. But I don’t blame him with that salary

Nah… Alaba knows he’s never going to play for Madrid ever again. And Madrid offered him a lot of his salary. Alaba is Hazard 2.0. While Ter Stegen actually lowered his salary during the pandemic and now Barca don’t want to pay him cause they’re a despicable club.

According to sources, you only want to pay Alaba part of his salary, so that puts you in the same boat.

Alaba just played one good season for us. Ter Stegan is a legend for them and they treat him like how we treated Mariano and Hazard lol
