Atlas Lion

Denis Irwin > Roberto Carlos

Yet Matic couldn't dream of being able to read the game as Claude could. Both are different players with different abilities and we should be blessed we are getting their best out of them whilst they were/are here.

They'll get knocked out the first round anyway

Would be really disappointing if Baker and Ake don't start next CL game.

Was more of a fantasy than an actual hypothetical. And Messi's overall style of play has him as a free flowing attacking midfielder, to a deep play maker, to a striker, and a false 9. The lad could literally adapt anywhere and still produce outstanding performances. We aren't even a club with a 'main man' to be honest as all of our individuals work with one another to benefit the squad. If Messi were to come here, (hypothetically now), we would see him and the team function like the Barca of 2008 and 2010. Playing on the wing whilst the likes of Henry (Costa), Eto'o (Hazard), Xavi, (Cesc) Iniesta (Oscar), Zlatan (Schurrle), etc, big club names who still work well for the team whilst Messi performing his free flowing game.

Didn't George Best say something along the lines that Chopper was the toughest defender he's come up against?

Can see it being Cech or Salah.

Long live RDM. But I hope we batter em

This season is ultimately too good to be true.

Really feel sorry for him. Is this now his third ankle injury in the space of a year? Worst injury I ever had whilst playing competitive footy was having a high ankle sprain. The damage isn't physically but mentally as well. Hesitation to perform certain tasks with his foot.

Ours is practically identical. But I couldn't leave this beautiful man out of mine.

99' Treble > Invincibles

Another record broken. Unbelievable.

He yet again breaks another record. Lionel Messi accomplished the inevitable on Saturday, breaking Telmo Zarra’s all-time La Liga record of 251 goals with a hat trick against Sevilla.

Some say Michael Laudrup would pick Mikel over Xavi and Scholes.

Arsenal. The gift that keeps on giving.

That can't be true

Long Live Arsene Wenger

Koke

Feeding dimes all game.

No. Much worse. The lad is genuinely serious.

So how and why would you include a player who's been at the club for not even a year when he has contributed nothing as of sort yet ahead of a man who has held our goal scoring record for decades until Frank broke it? Are you basing a mere ability alone? If so, Hazard should be on everyone's list. Gallas over Carvalho? Gallas was used as a LB primarily through his time here as well.
