Sardar Azmoun @ AS Roma | 2023/2024

[DR Strangemoosh]

Mourinho replacement wouldn't be good as Sardar specifically went to Roma to work with Mourinho and jose also always liked him.

Conte wouldn't know or care about Azmoun compared to home-grown players.

In any case irrelevant because as things stand Sardar returns to Bayer when his 1 year loan ends and i don't think they have any reason for extending

Unless Ayatollah Berdyev or General Chicken becomes Roma manager, Azmoun’s role is what it is. There is no substitute for experience and Belotti/Lukaku probably have 150-200 combined Serie A goals…

Conte runs the same players over and over into the ground.
Azmoun isn't one of his, so he would be left to sit on the bench probably.

No Azmoun on the bench?

He’s not included in group stage games bc of bs rules

oh right, my bad!

Mou is starting two strikers up top for the first time! Belotti and Lukaku. Maybe trying something new? Or probably giving rest to Dybala.

Edit: he had mentioned “I’ve already said Paulo Dybala will go on the bench and others will rest too.” But hopefully the two striker system shows him something and he continues using it in the league.

Hlozek starting in europa league. Would've been sardar without a doubt as he was also choosen above him in previous season . What a shit transfer by sardar. Possibly the most depressing transfer of all time.

[DR Strangemoosh]

sardar has been very lucky twice in a row - moving to bundesliga a week before Putin attacked, and moving to his favourite coach's side, when he was about to be pushed down to 5th in the leverkusen pecking order.

can't think of a luckier transfer, surely the best/luckiest transfers and agent when you compare to so many of our players from ezatollahi to zahedi - the rest is now on our boy.

possibly the luckiest transfers (x2) of all time

So he be out of europa league for the entire season, and come in occasionally 10 minutes a month if Lakaka doesn’t feel like playing, good deal good deal 👍 👏

better than 40-50 seconds for bayer. at least he is happy, can play his pubgee and is more in shape than he has been in a few years.

[DR Strangemoosh]

Seriously though, he is one of the best Pubgee players around https://youtu.be/M0AQCwW-UKc?si=SjUYs19KL-rsisRJ

last season in europa league he was in the squad line up. Even against big team like Roma. Boniface won't be on top form forever . Very very sad move , now he is not even allowed to play in europa league . I hope this doesn't affect sardar's mentality and form.

Yea exactly. If you look at bayer's last offical 5 games (before his depature and injury). Sardar was either in the line up or subbed in 2nd half in like 60th monute. Dude already had his spot in Bayer and did this stupid move. He probably though mou loves him
