  1. Nike does need him there. Specifically on one of the worlds most recognized, followed, and branded clubs. Regardless of who manufactures their kits. La Liga needs him the most considering there is no star attraction there now that Messi has left. Nobody is tuning into Spanish matches to watch “insert any La Liga player” here and they just got a fat new tv contract. Imagine being Nike and not having a global star playing in globally televised league.
  2. Mbappe is sponsored by Nike.
  3. Your once in generation player wants to leave. That’s all that needs to be said.
  4. They’re not working. Why the fuck would they not.? the fact of the matter is is that arteta is getting out coached. Bottom line. He’s done by week 4. If I’m the owner, and he trots out that dogshit after what they invested, questionable or not, youre goddamn right I’d be asking “what’s up” to the manager.
  5. Valverde, Setien, Pirlo, etc. Do I need to keep going? You are flat fucking wrong dude.
  6. Dude, you’re literally identifying all the reasons he shouldn’t be the coach. He’s literally getting coached out of the box. It doesn’t matter who is on the pitch. You cannot be this fucking dense. And no. You don’t get another fucking rookie manager. You go get one that knows what he’s doing. We drop $150mm this summer and we can’t pay a top flight manager? Get the fuck out of here with that bullshit.
  7. You are wholesale wrong. The tactics the last two matches showed how out classed Arteta is as a manager. It took him 45 minutes to realize he left the entire left side exposed. We’re losing out of the tunnel because he’s bad at his job. He has a ton of great, young talent on hand. He just doesn’t know how to fucking use them. Martinelli was a non-factor and half the players you cited as the “core” didn’t play. You said it yourself, there is no map.
  8. It’s pretty clear after the first two matches that Arteta has to go. Lots of good, young players. Just horrendous tactics.
  9. @RGBIII check your dms. Run it past @immamac and let me know.
  10. I heard our defense is elite. Fuck the naysayers.
  11. If the offense lights up the defense, we’re fucked on defense. If the qb’s don’t do shit, we’re fucked on offense. Got it.
  12. New signings played well. Mari sucks. Leno sucks. For the love of god, get odeegard. wtf Balogun? Did some forget to tell Arteta this isn’t preseason? It’s the first match of the season and it feels like it’s already over.
  13. Well, looks like we’re getting Odegaard.
  14. Right here is the issue. We don’t develop SHIT. There hasn’t been a single player the Cubs have brought up outside of every single player they just traded away. The Cubs are awful at player development. Let’s not pull punches here and pretend like this a good thing. We gave awful contracts to awful players (Heyward), didn’t invest in young starting pitching, spent every single offseason only concerned about the bull pen. This is self caused. Hoyer isn’t Theo and nothing we got today is solving anything anytime soon. We gave away 20ish all star appearances, the best closer in baseball, multiple gold gloves, an nl mvp, the soul of a Cubs team that won the first World Series in 100 years. wrap you mind around this - we gave up gleyber torres for a rental. What the fuck did we get?
  15. I’m done with the Cubs after today
  16. What’s worse… we got two bats, a couple doge coins, and IOU in returnz
  17. What a fucking unbelievable day. This just set us back 2 decades.
  18. If you feel bad, be glad you’re not a Cubs fan today.
  19. This is what I have a problem with. We’re getting dogshit returns for some of the games best talent. We’re turning into the Indians team from major league.
  20. Bryant to the giants now. What an incredibly sad day.
  21. Someone should photoshop balls where fuckbaum’s ears are.
  22. You clearly don’t understand how PE works. They literally cannot do that. Limited Partnership agreements have covenants that keep PE firms from doing things like that.
  23. See my above post. They will not give a fuck. All they need is one Kobe or Lebron to come out of Oregon to break even. In the process they pay to win everything for Phil Knight’s alma mater. Phil Knight is laughing his ass off right now.
  24. Probably not. But what’s Nike’s overall revenue and brand foot print from universities like compared to all the other shit they sell? They’ll sell athletes first, with their brand. They’re just making sure they’re getting the athletes from the ground up now that it’s semi-legal. Adidas just jumped the gun. Chess, not checkers.
