That you need to ask to the person that is saying Schalke and german teams are increadible because they won 4-3 in the Bernabeu. It's a great question to do to him...

The same that lost 0-5 against us right?

We are taking about the team that lost 0-5 against us right?.

I wouldn't buy him at that time because we had more important targets in that window like Costa, Fabregas etc and it would be more dificult to have money for Shaw... but right now with the team we have maybe it would be good to try a player like this if we have the chance. 30M£ was clearly over payed, but he is a kid, he has a lot of time to improve, he has quality... I don't think they will regret this buy that much. Even if they sell him they can get 20M£ without a problem.

He is and was absolutely increadible. And is THE player to buy for every top team. He is one of a kind, there is no doubt about it, and never was. It's like Neymar for example... you just need to look at him a little to understand that he is special

This means Evans will miss the game against us right? If that's the case it would be really good if they don't have another 6 or 7 players in that day. Let's see how they do in terms of injuries and yellow card.

That's the reality. Our team cost 320M£ in buys, the team of Real Madrid cost 507M£, they spent more 180M£ buyng their team than us. Money helps a lot.Specially a difference of 180M£. Other problem is that we all know how the market is organized and that all the big players in the last 6 or 7 years were bought by Madrid and Barceona, the other teams are buying what they don't want... they pick first and that's obvious because they were by far the best teams in the world in every aspect. I know that Madrid didn't lose the League... I'm just saying that if Ancelotti loses this League again they are really incompetent.

No... a 500M£ team that can't win the domestic League in 2 seasons, we can't blame the coach... we should blame someone else. We are not Madrid, we would have problems to beat Sevilla, Valencia, Malaga away... if you give us more 200M£ to buy players we would win against them with no problem in a consistent way. It's completely unaceptable for Madrid to do less than 90 points in League (and it was also in the last year Mourinho was there), and to lose a League against a team in regularity that is worth half his value. Atetico can be a great team, and play really well against big and small sides. But in regularity they can't compete with Madrid unless Madrid does a lot of shit.

It's not only on paper... Madrid and Barcelona did it in 4 of the last 6 years (at least 1 of them, but normally both). THey can't lose titles against Atletico de Madrid, and they can't do 85 points in League. FOr example Inter won against Barcelona the CHampions. Chelsea also... but in a League they would end with a difference of 15 points. The win of Atletico in League was just because both Madrid and Barcelona were horrible, this season they are doing it the same way, but Atetico is losing more points...

Mourinho got 85 points, playing with a second team for 6 months because Madrid lost the League in November... anyway with the amount of Points of that team, Madrid wouild be CHampions or almost CHampions in the others. THis Madrid spould be doing more than 92 or 93 points every season, in a normal season, like they did on the last seasons. They can lose against Bilbao they are a really good team... but having problems with Elche, Real Sociedad, Valencia, Sevilla, etc, it's not normal at all. The difference in everything between Madrid (the richest club in the world) and the last team in the league is huge. Much buigger thanb in ENglad for example. Madrid scored in less games than we have in Englad more 15 goals... the statistics of Madrid are insane... THere is no reason for what's happening in Madrid.

In reaity it's not... the problem here is that Ancelotti is really bad in Leagues and the selfdestruction of Barcelona. Madrid and Barcelona made almost 100 points for 4 seasons. When Guardiola and Mourinho left that ended... and right know Madrid is losing stupid points everywhere like Barcelona. I think that if the 500M£ team of Madrid loses again this league Ancelotti should start a new carreer on something else. If Madrid loses this season, Madrid won 1 league in the last 6 with a super team... THere no Barcelona of Guardiola anymore... It's increadible.

He is a really good player. No doubt about it. We will see in the next seasons if he is a player like Rooney with a ton of quality, consistent and capable of playing for any team in the world, or he is a really great player for an Europa League team.

Obviously Costa. He is ours, between the 2 is the only one that know the feeling of playing for a top team, Costa has more expirience, has 3 great seasons in top teams... Kane seems to be a realy good player... but I would pick Costa always. We will have a better notion of the value of Kane in 2 seasons or if he goes for a top team.

ANd another imnportant factor is that Chelsea is a team 2 steps ahead of Fiorentina.

Guardiola was also the coach of Barcelona B, he knew all those players, la Masia is great, he trusted all those players, it won't happen again in his carrer spomething like that

Napoli is team that normally goes to the Champions League (in the last seasons), and is right now in a CHampions League place. It's not a super team but is better than FIorentina today.

There is no fact in that. It's ignorance to say based on 5 or 6 games for an OK team that one player is better than the other. Cuadrado is better than Salah because he simply is better... he has better technique, better composure, more resources, Cuadrado is in another level. Mourinho didn't fuck up and we will see it in the future. Salah is an OK player that maybe one day will have quaity to be a squad player in CHelsea. How many examples of players that don't have quality to play on one of the best 10 teams in the world and they do it increadibly well in other teams you want? For example you check Real Madrid last sells and you see a player like van der Vaart that failed in Madrid and started in Tottenham scoring in every game, and ended with 13 goals being the 6th in the goalscorers table. Garay never was good enough for Real Madrid, went for Benfica and was huge there now is on Zenit. You have the example of Sahin that was really important in Dortmund, was horrible in Madrid, is good again in Dortmund. Ozil and Di Maria played really well for Madrid, are good players for big teams in the world. Albiol was the 4th CB in Madrid is right now in the starting eleven of Napoli a Champions League Squad in Italy. Callejon was always a substitute in Real Madrid but in Napoli is a super player that scored 15 goals in last season, and until now another 9 in this one. HIguain was good in Real Madrid and is still good in Napoli. Carvalho was the 5th CB of Real Madrid when he leaved Madrid, still plays for Monaco.... Higuain, Ozil, Di Maria were good players for Madrid and still are for other teams. All that players that were not good enough for Madrid like Callejon, Albiol, van der Vaart, Carvalho, Garay were important or very important in another good european club... still they wouldn't have any chance in Madrid. We can check the sales of every big team in the world and this will repeat almost everytime... just because it's different to play for Chelsea or for Fiorentina/Wolfsburg.

He did the right thing, Willian was in an a lot better position and it was increadible how Willian can miss that goal. I have more problems with for example the the minute 7:20 of that video when he needs to be a lot faster shooting with his right foot, that's a clear goal. Anyway in this game he was increadible.

LOL you moan a lot, I bet I can find posts from you moaning about Salah when he was here. When we see any of those players playing like that for a real team we can talk.

And Bradford did it to us in Stamford Bridge. Let's buy all their team.

RObben that was already a star for one of the biggest teams in the world... That's really a gamble that buy from Bayern... It's like saying that we did a major gamble buying Cesc since he was a "squad" player for Barcelona. We knew that it would be a sucess always the buy of Cesc because he perfpormed well for 2 major sides. It has nothing to do with Salah or De Bruyne.

Salah is a really good player... that has no quality to play for CHelsea. When he plays for Bayern, Real, Barcelona, Man City, Man United, PSG and he performs like this... you can all say that we made a mistake... until than... he is just doing well in a minor team like he was doing in Egypt and in Basel before he came here. Exactly the same for De Bruyne.

It's really stupid to conclude anything based on performances for Wolfsburg or Fiorentina... they are not at our level, if you want a list of players that couldn't play for big teams and seemed like Messi in smaller ones you can find 1000. It's really funny to see the same people that didn't understand the buy of Salah and called it a waste of money saying that Mourinho or the club did it wrong. He was here and he didn't enough to play for this club... that's the reality, the same for De Bruyne and many others. You have for eample players that were not used at all in Madrid being stars in Napoli ike Albiol or Callejon. They are not good enough to a CHampions League contender. If Cuadrado doesn't play like we expect... and I garantee he is a lot better than Salah we will sell him and buy another one. What's the problem?

He doesn't need to play regularly. He needs to do 10 games here, and another 10 or 15 in the under 21... and that's perfect for him at this age. And every year start playing more. If he improves a lot and he is better than Ramires, Cesc , he will play more...He is so differnt when compared with Cesc that he will have also opportunities based on that if he does things well. if not he needs to improve and wait for is great chance. I have no doubt he will have his chance... obviuosly for doing a Zouma in the CM he needs to play really well and impress a lot since we have more quality there than in CB.

I don't know how you want a 18/19 year old to be a "regular" in a team that has Higuain, Benzema, Ronaldo, Di Maria, Ozil, etc. Morata started 7 games for MAdrid and was used in another 8 games, at the same time that he was used in Castilla. Nacho in 2012/2013 started 9 games and played in another 4 games (and also played for Castilla at the same time), when he had the competition of Pepe, Varane, Ramos, COentrao and Marcelo. Both had a really good amount of game time That are realy good numbers for those kids. I thik Morata started for example the game in the Bernnabeu against Barcelona that Madrid won 2-1 in that season and Madrid rested some players for the CHampions League.
