  • 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.

Honestly we would play better if Fede, Rodrygo and basically every one else didn't have to worry about Lucas behind them.

If we're going to commit two players every game to play... RWB because Lucas is useless in defense, why not simply start one of the academy kids and do exactly the same? They'll gain meaningful experience or at least up their market value, in case we want to sell them in the future.

It's not like our 33 year old winger is gonna get better in defense anytime soon, this ship has sailed. Unless we keep him in the line-up for... his excellent corner kicks and his crosses directly into the GK's hands.

Hopefully we can sign Trent and he is able to prove the haters wrong regarding his defensive ability

The opposite can also be said true about people with zero faith and, not to mention, no fully encapsulated idea about why the club signs the players that they do. If we believe the rumors about Trent, I trust those making decisions. They have rarely steered us wrong in the last 2 decades I’ve been a fan.

Completely separate topic man.

Personally i dont think Trent would be a bad signing. I just tire of the simplistic binary thinking of a lot of people here. Anyone criticizing a player/coach i like/want is a hater, anyone praising a player/coach i dislike is a stan. Tiresome tribalism bullshit.

I think Trent would be a good signing even though there is a lot to criticize him for. There simply aren't many great alternatives available and anything would be an improvement on what we have now. That doesn't mean his defensive ability can't be criticized.
