Hi! I think Matic is more like Alonso than Koke. But with Spain Xabi Alonso had a role very similar to Koke. They are similar, although I prefer to compare Koke with Xavi Hernandez (Barcelona). Jose was using Alonso in his last season at Real Madrid as a defensive midfielder with Modric as organizer of the team. With Ozil as number 10. I think it would be more or less so: Matic as Xabi Alonso. Koke as Modric. Fabregas as Ozil. And Khedira had a similar role with Mikel and Ramires. In my opinion, Koke is the natural successor to Xavi Hernandez (Barcelona). I think Koke is much like Xavi Hernandez. A player able to perfectly organize his team but with a great capacity for work and sacrifice for the team... But in the first and second season at Real Madrid, without Modric, Jose use Alonso in a similar role to that would have Koke with us: Matic as Khedira. Koke as Alonso. Fabregas as Ozil. In this case Koke would have a similar role as Alonso. He has many similar characteristics with Alonso as the long pass, work, ability to organize ... But I think Koke is more like Xavi Hernandez (Barcelona) than Xabi Alonso (Bayern). Regards.

Hi friend! Totally agree with you. We can play like Barcelona. At the beginning of the season we made a game like them. It's time to take one more step. Barcelona with Guardiola. Busquets Xavi Iniesta Messi Henry Etoo Barcelona now. Busquets Rakitic Iniesta Messi Neymar Suarez Chelsea with Koke. Matic Fabregas Koke Messi (hopefully) Hazard Diego Costa Regards,

Yes. They are similar, but perhaps Fabregas is more offensive and capable of giving the last pass, and Koke is a more specific player midfield, with more capacity for sacrifice in working for the team and able to play in the sides. But both are able to organize the team game. Fabregas is a number 10 and Koke is a midfielder. But it is true that they have many similar characteristics. For me would be a pleasure to have both with us. Regards.

I do not usually agree with Raiola, but I totally agree with what he says about Real Madrid. Sometimes it is disgusting to see how Real Madrid sign players by simple fashion and are able to sell that player the following summer if they can buy another player who is fashionable. Real Madrid uses their players like garbage. If Pogba want to have a great future the worst place for him is Real Madrid. Maybe this year Florentino Perez is obsessed with him, but in 2016 Perez may want to buy the next star of the Euro 2016 (whoever he is) and Perez will not hesitate to sell Pogba to any team to buy other new star of world football. James, who is not a bad player, he was a total stranger in Spain until the World Cup. But he played 5! good games and it was enough to pay a crazy amount of money for him. If Real Madrid do not win anything this season nothing Perez will probably will sell him to any team. Real Madrid is an expert in crushing young players. They are the worst option for Pogba. They are bread for today and hunger for tomorrow. Regards.

Hi friend! Yes. Totally agree with you. 60 million euros (43.17 million pounds) would be a reasonable price for Pogba. Hopefully that information be right. (By the way, thanks for the info). With Raiola we never know, but if we get Pogba for that price would be an excellent operation. To me, personally, I would love to see with us Koke or Isco, but Paul Pogba would be a tremendous illusion. A great signing. Although this looks to be a Pogba auctioning by Raiola between Manchester City, Manchester United, Real Madrid, Barcelona, PSG... Regards.

Hello everyone! Cholo Simeone close to renew his contract until 2020 with Atletico de Madrid, according to his sister, who also is his representative. It is a very good news for us because I do not want to see Simeone with Manchester City or United, neither with PSG. Atletico is a great club, personally is my favorite club in Spain, but maybe they do not have the economic capacity to be a truly great team in Europe. Real Madrid and Barcelona have all the economic power in Spain, with two cities (Madrid and Barcelona) supporting them in almost everything. For example, in the contract for the rights of television, Real Madrid and Barcelona earn 140 million euros each year, and, although they're trying to change that despite the refusal of the Spanish government, Atletico Madrid wins 38 million euros each year . An illogical difference. Although it is also true that an important Chinese businessman recently bought a part of Atletico de Madrid and Spain is said that this type is of Chinese entrepreneurs with more money comes Chica and he has done a great investment in Atletico de Madrid. But so far are just rumors, because he still has not been presented in Spain. In any case, it would be good news for us that Simeone stay in the league instead of coming to Premier League. Although having confrontation between Jose and Simeone each year would be exciting. Regards to ALL.

Everybody says that, and it may be true, but also the entire world said that Cristiano Ronaldo would never play with Mourinho and was thanks to Jose that Ronaldo reached a high level in the Real Madrid (with Pelegrino at Real Madrid the level of Cristiano Ronaldo was significantly lower -he was unhinged in his first season at Real Madrid-). But which is the only trophy that Messi still has not won and that would make him the best player of all time without any kind of doubt? The World Cup. With the style of Barcelona in three World Cups he has failed to win absolutely nothing in a World Cup. The style of Barcelona is good if you have players like Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets ... It is like dancing with your sister... is worth nothing whatsoever. Maybe Messi may be thinking that if he could be trained by Jose Mourinho maybe that could help him win the World Cup because Jose Mourinho has shown he can win with many different styles. That could be a decisive factor to sign Messi. With Guardiola he failed to win the World Cup because it is not the same Barcelona style than the style of Argentina. The style of Barcelona is just "Tiki-Taka" or convinations fast game, but Mourinho has shown he can win in many different ways. Maybe that can convince Messi to come with US. The Barcelona can use cheap philosophy to say that the only way to win is to play like them, but the reality is that Messi could not do anything outside of Barcelona because this used to play in a unique way. If Messi signed for Chelsea with Jose Mourinho he will have three seasons before the 2018 World Cup to learn from the methods of Jose and perhaps to win the World Cup without Iniesta, Xavi, Busquets, Pique, Villa ... It is more easier to win surrounded by a generation of players who have won: Euro 2008, World Cup 2010 and Euro 2012. Now it is fashionable to criticize Jose and say that he is rubbish, but despite who gets upset, Jose Mourinho is probably the best coach in football history, only coach to have won trophies in four different countries, with two Champions Leagues on computers without a great story, the coach who got beat the best team in history (the Barcelona of Pep Guardiola) ... Many cheap philosophers repeated again and again that no one will remember Jose Mourinho for his football. But are those cheap philosophers who have nightmares remembering as Jose Mourinho won them so many trophies. It's free doubting about Jose, but Jose Mourinho will continue to be the big nightmare for cheap philosophers. Jose is the best coach of all time. Class is to die on the pitch, not all that cheap philosophy 21 and counting... Thank you very much for everything Jose. Regards to ALL.

The best player of all history... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMCnrocXYIg Enormous! If there is one possibility among a million to sign Messi... Roman has to try.

Hi friend! Yes, maybe it's an exaggeration on my part. Just mean to say that before making such a large investment first we have to analyze all possible risks. The advantages and disadvantages. Although Pogba has many more advantages than disadvantages. Totally agree with you. A month or so ago, I wrote a post in that I said that Pogba's personality could have three ways in the future. 1. Balotetti. 2. Ibra. 3. Cristiano Ronaldo. Pogba has a great personality. If he is able to manage that well personality is likely to come to have a closer Cristiano Ronaldo level than Balotelli level. But I totally agree with you that Pogba would be the player dreamed by Jose. A box to box player with a huge capacity. Very physical, very capable, young, experienced despite his age ... Pogba has many qualities, and if we get his move, I would be extremely happy. Regards.

Dude, looks like I have something personal against Pogba, but it is not. A player can celebrate goals as he wishes, but it is an obvious symptom of immaturity. When Pogba makes a goal he is more concerned with making an aesthetic celebration than his own emotions. Obviously I do not say that Pogba is like Balotelli, but with his age, his behavior are dangerous. Many great players have failed because of their behavior, not only Balotelli, Cassano also Adriano. With 22 years is quite easy to become "crazy" if anyone do not manage well the fame. And Mino Raiola is not someone who can stop the extravagant behavior of the players who he represents, quite the opposite. So Raiola also is representative of Ibra and Balotelli. But I do not doubt the quality of Pogba. It is probably the first, second or third player with more future today. Probably perfect for Jose. But if he does not manage well the fame his future might not be as expected. But Pogba would be a great signing. Without a doubt. Regards.

Hi friend! Totally agree with you. Isco would be absolutely perfect. His performance with Real Madrid is still impressive. Maybe if Real Madrid sign Paul Pogba we could try his signing. I live in Madrid and usually go to Santiago Bernabeu. The problem to sign Isco is that he is now the favorite player of Real Madrid fans. If Real Madrid sold Isco that would be a great tragedy for their fans. But with Florentino Perez anything can happen. Perez is not very keen to opt for Spanish players. Maybe he considers a good change sign Pogba and sell Isco. If that happens we should be in pole position to sign Isco, a huge player. Regards.

I also think, as I said before, that Pogba is the prototype player that Jose would love. Totally true. But I think a center field Matic - Koke - Fabregas would have superior performance. See all matches from Atletico de Madrid and its performance is spectacular. To my Koke is the player more like Xavi Hernandez but more will to work for your team. If we signed Pogba I'll be happy too. But perhaps his bizarre behavior makes me wonder. Have certain attitudes seem to Baloteli, which is dangerous. A young boy who maybe has not assumed good the fame. If Pogba exceed and leaves those extravagant behavior, Pogba is a great player. maybe perfect for Jose. But a great player with a bad head is a bad investment. It could be like flipping a coin to air. Regards.

Hi friend! Yes, but it's just a desire of mine. I think Mata could be a good option. This week, reports say that maybe Mata could sign for Valencia by between 15 and 20 million pounds. For me we need players like Fabregas or else it is only in our midfield. In the creation of football just have to Fabregas. So I would bet by Koke and Mata to have enough quality players to reach the end of the season with gasoline in our legs. Al principo of the season we have shown that we can play a spectacular football, but we need more players like Fabregas, Koke or Mata. Mata is part of our history and his re signing would give us a qualitative leap. Regards.

But probably Mikel, Ramires and Oscar will be sold this summer. I think there are certain positions that we need to update. Mikel has long had a secondary role and we need fresh air. Ramires has many suitors. He is a great player but maybe a transfer is a good option. Oscar has not responded to every confidence that Jose has given him We have given up Juan Mata for Oscar, and he has not responded as Chelsea deserves. Even if we signed Pogba I will not cry, for sure. But maybe there are better options on the market than Pogba. Regards.

Hi again! Yes. Maybe the price can vary greatly depending euros or pounds. It is true. In Spain, where Real Madrid and Barcelona are keen to Pogba, reports speak of 100 million euros more or less. 55 million pounds would be a more rational price. But I think that if we signed him to Koke and Kondogbia we would have a more balanced center field. Although Pogba's a great player, obviously. But what worries me more about Pogba is that he is a player more worried about the next picture than football. Regards.

Hi friend! Oscar, Ramires, Mikel, Remy and perhaps Willian can leave this summer. With that money we can make big signings. Also Cahill and Cech (although I prefer that Peter stay at home with us). Jose usually use 14 to 16 players throughout the season so we can sell these players without entailing a dramatic loss if we make good signings. For me: Oscar - Koke Mikel and Ramires - Kondogbia Remy - Dybala Willian - Mata Cahill - Varane Obviously we can not sign all these players, but this would be a good roadmap. We can also get money for our players on loan. Regards.

Hi friend! Koke would be, at most, 44 million pounds. Mino Raiola speaks of 80 million pounds to start negotiating. I respect your opinion, but there are 40 million pounds difference between them is illogical. If Pogba should cost 50 million pounds maybe it would be more logical ... Regards.

Pogba could be a perfect player for the style of Jose, but 80 million pounds is crazy. Mino Raiola is a dangerous guy, I would not trust him. If we sign Pogba I am quite sure that Raiola would be asking for salary increases each year. Another option for Pogba is to stay in Juventus until Euro 2016 and then seek the transfer of the century. Very good player but with extravagant aspects that make me doubt. Regards to ALL.

Hi friend! In principle was Koke who reject the offer of Barcelona last summer because he wanted to stay one or more years with Simeone and because Koke takes a lifetime in Atletico Madrid. Although Atletico Madrid and Simeone also wanted not sell him. In Spain the reports were saying that the sanction of FIFA to Barcelona for his transfer of underage players which prevents joining Barcelona until 2016 would be removed and Barcelona would be able to make signings this summer. The rumor was that Koke refused to go to Barcelona in 2014 to wait one season More and go to Barcelona in 2015. Right now this option is discarded and now exite the rumor that Koke wants to leave Atletico Madrid and he has many friends in chealse as Diego Costa, Filipe Luis, Courtois, Azpilicueta or Fabregas. So I think we have a great opportunity to sign him this summer. He wants to leave, and Atletico de Madrid need money right now to finance the new project of Simeone. Regards.

Hi Friend! "Tener la sangre fria" or "having the cold blooded" means that Oscar is a player who is not a leader, who is unable to take responsibility for the team. That is a player with a lot of indolence, laziness, which shows much indifference in difficult times, and is a player with level ups and downs, Oscar appears and disappears without explanation. Oscar has no winning mentality. It may be a good player, but not player like Deco (Porto), Sneijder (Inter) or Fabregas. It's an expression we use many times in Spain for football. There are other more disagreeable explanation (I apologize in advance if I offend anyone) (This is obviously a simple metaphor. A literary license). When a person is dead, his corpse has the cold blood, therefore, he is dead. Therefore it is said this expression. If someone is indolent that person seems to be dead, with his cold blood. This obviously is a simple metaphor. A literary license. A player with "Hot Blood" is a very active player, with great intensity, very involved and very winning mentality. Therefore his blood is hot. I hope I explained better. Regards.

A very interesting option. I've only seen youtube videos (general and specific tracing) and Dybala really impressed me. Seeing him is impossible not to see a strong resemblance to Kun Aguero. Perhaps this may be exaggerated, but Dybala can be one of the great jewels of the market. The reports speak of 40 million pounds, but I've been looking and his contract ends in 2016. If that is true, the price would have to be much lower. A very interesting player. Regards to ALL.

Nobody believes that Mata could be a good option for US? I do not think we need to describe Juan because all of US know him. I think we have different attacking players with different characteristics: 1. physically strong players. Matic (perfect in all), Mikel, Ramires. 2. physically strong players with overflow capacity. Willian, Cuadrado. 3. unknowns. Oscar. 4. Players with ability to organize the team. Fabregas. 5. Strikers. Didier Drogba, Diego Costa, Remy and Hazard. 6. Young players (Physically strong and skilful). Nathan Ake and Ruben Loftus-Cheek. In all positions we have several players except players with ability to organize the team where we just have to Fabregas. When our opponents makes a personal marking to put pressure on Fabregas us suffer a lot. For me should be paramount sign players with the ability to make quick passes and increase the speed of circulation of our ball. We can not let Fabregas abandoned alone in the pitch. Looking at the market there are very few options: Koke. We have to sign him Yes or Yes. Mata. A player who would be adapted quickly to the club and the city. Ozil. He did well at Real Madrid, but it has been a disaster at Arsenal. Bad option. Sneijder. Too old. Bad option. De Bruyne. Maybe it is a very expensive option. I think Mata is more technical. Isco. Real Madrid will never sell him. But it could be an option if Real Madrid sign Pogba. They are used to make all kinds of strange things with the signings. They are sometimes unpredictable. Isco has improved spectacularly in collective work with Ancelotti. I don`t find more players like Fabregas in the market (players there are real possibilities of signing). If anyone knows any more, please put it. But I think these are the main ones options. For me we are going to sign a Koke this summer. It is a hope that I have. But I think maybe we need more players like that. The season is very long, perhaps with a single signing like Fabregas might not be enough. Mata could be a good option. Regards to ALL.

Hi friend! Maybe now are options that are being constructed for the future, but I think Zouma it is a good hope. Is a real hope. But the truth is that excepting Bayern or Barcelona, I do not remember many teams that have created great players from youth. For example, Real Madrid for over fifteen years has brought only Iker Casillas and Raul, the other players have been bought. Manchester United since Beckham, Butt, Scholes they do not have regained a good generation. Each many yeards each team takes one or two young players, we for example only have John Terry. Right now it the football world is so globalized that it is difficult to use policies of young players. It is true that I am very confident, perhaps too much, in our policy regarding of young players conducted by Jose, but I think Zouma / Hazard / Courtois or RLC are a hope. Although I am aware that we will continue by signing players for big money. Without money is impossible to compete in today's football. It's sad, but it is practically impossible to lead a policy fully bet on of young players. Current Soccer live in a perfenente feeling of a brutal demand for immediacy. If Jose gamble everything for of young players, or just 2 or 3 players per season, I would not be here with us in case of bad results. We're going to win two trophies this season than 4 and our season seems for some, not for me, a shit. In today's football world does not exist the patience they need of young players excepting for players like Messi, Pogba, Varane... Regards.

Hi friend! Totally agree with you. Probably Zouma is already consolidated in our starting eleven. I'm sure he's going to be important in the remaining matches until the end of the season. Jose has given opportunities and he took advantage of these opportunities with a spectacular performance. Zouma probably going to be unquestionable the next decade. About Nathan Ake is true, his injury in November and December was a shame because he'd had his chance. For me, as when we practically have won this Premier League, both Ake RLC will play as many minutes. For me Jose wants to create a similar project as Alex Ferguson, and he needs the young players for that, and Jose will bet heavily on them. I trust Jose Regards.
