All true. Depends on the price though I guess. I'd much rather we spent money on a world class RW, a good backup GK if Cech is leaving and a backup for Matic though. They're more pressing concerns.

Saw it mentioned in the Summer Transfer Targets. Not sure what to think of it. Bentekkers is obviously a good player but i'm not sure he'll be happy to be 3rd choice and I don't want us to spend too much on a 3rd choice ST... EDIT: I guess he does offer something different to Diego and definitely Remy though.... Just don't know whether I like the idea or not... Very 50/50 on it.

Well IMO Pogba was Juve's 2nd best player yesterday. I love Pirlo more than is healthy but he faded badly when Juve didn't have the ball, Morata didn't have his best game (his trademark runs were conspicuous in their absence) and Lichsteiner struggled in the first half. Barzagli, Buffon and Pogba were all good but obviously Marchisio played better than most Barca players and was extremely unlucky to be on the losing side.

Very true, and it gets on my nerves even when we do it. I get frustrated and angry at it when its so blatantly obvious and unprofessional. Well tbh its largely the same team but with Suarez, Mascherano and Neymar in for Villa, Puyol and Eto'o. And Suarez and Neymar are the worst diving offenders (with Busquets, but don't get me started on him) so I think they're worse now.

While Chiellini is obviously a huge loss (one of the best CBs in the world IMO) ironically it was his replacement Barzagli who was the much better of Juve's CBs today. Bonucci and Vidal really let the team down today.

Tactics is irrelevant here my friend. If you win, you win in my eyes. Whether you play tiki-taka football or long ball football it doesn't matter, as long as you win. So I agree with you, but that wasn't my point at all. My problem here is with the unneeded diving and constant cheating. There's no need for it and it just makes you as a team look pathetic. And in case you think i'm biased I used to have a real problem with Drogba for his constant diving. Took me quite a while to come around to him after he stopped doing it so much. I hate cheating of any kind, play football any way you like but don't cheat and lie, it's just unprofessional and disrespectful. Those 2 words unfortunately sum up this Barcelona team, even though they're comfortably the best team in Europe.

A bigger group of childish, pathetic scummy cheats has never existed. By far the best team but still resort to diving and cheating. So disappointing.

I see your Jordi Alba and raise you a Dani Alves....

To be fair I wasn't expecting a goal THAT quickly!!! Hopefully they can hold out now. The longer this match goes the more chance Juve have.

Forza Juve!!

Well i'm claiming to be a psychic from now on. Come to me with every concern.

Cannot see Barca keeping a clean sheet. For all their attacking ability they don't have a great back 4. Juve still have a chance. Come on Juve!!!

You should do!! IIRC Israel were like 3 wins from getting to the 2015 Rugby World Cup!

I'd imagine its a complex where they can't accept that Chelsea have the best player in the league and not them. Hence why every fan vote is hijacked by them in a pathetic way (Ozil, Sanchez etc.). They probably run down Hazard to convince themselves that Sanchez is better and that they have a chance of taking on Chelsea for the title.

^Rugby Ball. And Twickenham (a place we were rumoured to be considering moving to) is the home of rugby.

Just spoke to an acquaintance who is a chairman in the CPO and while he said he officially isn't allowed to tell me anything he said one phrase "You'll still be able to sing blue day with oval balls.". So yeah, looks like Twickenham to me.

Great news. I imagine something could be announced soon after our new shirts are revealed. I can imagine we'll be moving to Twickenham for 2 years in the meantime. Stunning news and thanks as always WHS .

Wolfsburg might think that but tbh they're welcome to him. It's not even the price as such, it's the fact that a raft of players who are at least as good and will definitely be cheaper (Schneiderlin, Imbula, Wanyama) or players who might cost a similar mount but are markedly better (Nainggolan, Witsel).

He can be keen all he wants. Why in the christ would we pay £33M for such a bang average player?!? He's not even worth £15M.

You can add Imbula, Schneiderlin and Naingollan to that CM list too. I reckon they're more likely to come to us than Pogba, Witsel or Gundogan. As for RW, Reus, Griezmann, Costa and Di Maria are our likely options. Gaitan is VERY left sided, don't think we'd sign him as a RW.

Will hurt like a bitch to see him in an Arsenal shirt. The silver lining I guess is that he'd never actually be in red, just the GK kits... But he has earned the ability to choose where he goes and what he does. If only PSG come in with a great contract offer for him...

Depends on him. If he wants to leave then by all means he can, I would be ok with us signing Aldeweireld instead. But ideally i'd prefer to keep him here as LB cover (& RB cover as Azpi can move over there).

Possibly designing other team's shirts. If the knew they didn't have to have ours done until July they'd focus on all the other kits they have to do.

De Gea will be at RM within the next month or so. There he can be vastly over-rated 1 week and then crucified the next. And that's by his own fans. Tibo is the 2nd best GK in the world ATM, only Neuer is currently better. Let's not forget either that this was apparently his 'settling in' season. He should be even better next year!! Good luck PL strikers....

Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo bored. Over 47 days til our next game?
