  1. Pellegrini failed badly at Madrid. They don*t want him back, that's for sure! I agree with you. I can see Benitez getting the job, he is a madridista and coached one of the youth teams in the past. Can he get the job done? I don't know because i don't trust Benitez, in my opinion he is overrated.... In any case Benitez likes the competion in the UCL, that would be one hell of a match against Jose Mourinho, lol.
  2. Perez is a great businessman. He sold Di Maria at the right time and with the sales of Özil and Higuain he did a good job too. James Rodrigues was one of the best transfers of the season, perhaps only Luis Suarez was more successful. Ancelotti made some mistakes: Firstly, his refusal to rest some of his most important players was pretty bad. Secondly, why didn't he play a defensive minded midfielder?! Maybe Perez did not like such a player, but why the hell did he buy Illarramendi in the first place? I can't make my mind up to such nonsense.... All in all the sacking of Ancelotti is a sad thing, he is a great coach and he deserves so much better. In the dressing room he was well respected, for example Cristiano took a photo with him two days ago. I heard that he has health issues, get well soon, Carlo. Where will he go?!
  3. Sometimes he is really frustrating to watch because he needs so many opportunities to score. Yeah he scored some goals, but the City board is not convinced of him, in the past they bought the likes of Negredo or later Bony. I know that Jose likes warriors and Dzeko would fit in, but i personally prefer Benteke who is in my point of view much more creative. But we could stay with Remy, if he continues to accept his role as a backup.
  4. Maybe we need to sign another wingback to pull off a Willian. Since Cuadrado has arrived, Willian's performances have inreased massively.
  5. He still can't cut it here. At the beginning i was pretty pleased with his signing, but he can't beat a defender, he often gets dispossessed and normally he makes the wrong decision. I miss his movement without the ball a lot, maybe Mourinho limited that. In the last months his value has decreased, but there is still hope, because that kind of skill can't vanish, or is he going to do a Fernando Torres?! I pray every night for fuck's sake, 5 star skiller at Fifa, lol.
  6. All in all i was a little bit disappointed that Jose continued keeping his squad small. Why didn't Jose use more young players in the last games of the season? We already are the Champions of England and it would have been the perfect benchmark for next season who we can trust. Jose is always so serious, he cares so much about winning, but if his aim is still building a team for the next decade we have to integrate more guys from the academy. At the moment English prospects are quite expensive and with the increase of the TV money its still going up. Nonetheless i trust Jose and he knows what is best for us. I expect a new engine in midfield.
  7. I don't want Mr. FC Bayern Munich here. Apart from his injury record, his abilites have really regressed. Please take a look at his style of play against Barcelona. From my point of view he looked passed it, he couldn't create anything and wasn't able to cope with the speed anymore. Moreover his decision making was abysmal; before the last goal from neymar why did such an experienced and decorated player run the risk of a counter attack and throw in such an imprecise crossing? After the mistake has happened, he was dispossessed by Messi and the disaster took its course... Schweinsteiger has lost his stamina and thats a pretty bad thing for the Premier-League, where the speed is still high. I agree that Chelsea desperately needs another engine in midfield, but i prefer a player who hasn't hit his peak yet. Of course these players are quite expensive (Koke/Verratti/Pogba/Kondogbia). Maybe Jose gives Loftus-Cheek a fair chance next season. No matter what happens, i trust Jose!
  8. If Hazard had played like Griezmann did at the biggest stage in club football, his thread would have been crowded with haters all day long! Luckily Hazard played really well! Griezmann has fantastic abilities, but i don't want another player at chelsea, who is forced to play out of position. In my point of view a player like Sterling would fit in nicely with this Chelsea side. Above all a quality addition in our midfield should be Mourinhos first priority. Next season i think we will get the best out of Cuadrado and we still have Willian, both players were quite expensive. I don't want to throw their potential in the trash can!
  9. Ramires is a good squad player, but should be nothing more. He does not complain about sitting on the bench or playing out of position. Furthermore he seems like nice guy and executes Mourinhos instructions perfectly, his brutality is legendary, for example ask Mario Götze, lol. Especially in the games against PSG i saw his limitations, next season Koke/Pogba should overtake his spot. Sadly i am not so sure Mourinho would agree, because Mourinho believes in playing reactive football. I think Ramires would like that comment, lol.
  10. Brasil vs. Crotia, great performance that was!
  11. I am freshman, therefore i don't know how it really works around here....^^ Nowadays there are no serious rumours about a transfer to Chelsea, when it happens and it will happen soon, because of his performances and his contract situation (runs only till summer 2016). I promise you that the coming disussions will turn this page upside down again...
  12. Today Gundogan was great, he will come good again! His vision and his long balls are deadly, he rarely makes mistakes and he is good at the short passing game. Furthermore he has got the quality to tackle, break up play...,he is simply Borrussia Dortmunds engine again! He is the perfect number 10 but he is able to play the part as a deep-lying-playmaker too. In my point of view he would be the perfect replacement for Oscar, but Joses state of mind would agree to disagree, i fear. However i happily settle for Pogba/Koke....
  13. In 2012/2013 Ribery had similar stats, at the end he did not win it. Only goals count for the Balon d'dOr these days, but it's just an individual award, winning cups is way more important. I think that Hazard would agree....
  14. I don't think that Bale will leave this summer. He was an integral part of the squad that won La Decima and the Copa del Rey trophy. Perez likes him alot and despite the disrespect from some of the so called fans, i think that Bale likes the life in Spain. This season he struggles big time, but the season is not over yet, especially in the knockout stage he can easily become the crucial part again. The expectations from some of the Madridistas are ridiculously high, but Bale is a hard worker, he will hit back! Ronaldos extraordinary distances is what differs him from Bale, but in other aspects they are quite similar. Nowadays Bale is better at taking freekicks... Ronaldo won't play forever and Bale will become his successor, it would be stupid to sell him, can't see it, sadly. Furthermore i don't think that Ronaldo plays for individual awards, he is often so angry because he cares so much, he always wants to win, in the same way as Mourinho. In my point of view Ronaldo as well as Bale are able to play together. It's correct that the combinations were at it's best when Bale was out, but he brings different prospects to the table, in the future he will destroy the Spanish league, he still needs time to adapt to the technical style of play. Especially when they allow him to play as a left winger, he will be a force to be reckoned with....
  15. He is quality, but i prefer a potential world class player, for me Koke/Pogba or nothing! Before i go out and buy Matuidi, i trust Loftus-Cheek who is already here.
  16. Courtois is the future, we made the decision and should stick to it! Yeah Cech is solid, but Courtois is a modern-day keeper; his long balls are very precise and he loves to come off his line when required. Cech is a legend, but his time is over, history repeats itself....
  17. I think Hazard performs best if he is used as a left winger. Quick, tricky and great vision are his assets. He likes to take on defenders and embarrass them with his skill. Therefore he is predestinated to play on the left wing, because at this position he gets more space and he is still able to cut in. As a number 10 in a Mourinho Team, he is bound to do more defensive work. Moreover he can't assist that much. Of course there would be advantages, a player like Hazard should as often as possible get the ball and as a number 10 he is more often in front of the goal, the frequency of his shoots would increase, i think. Under Mourinho, Bale has to redefine his game, because i am sure that Mourinho doesn't allow two players free-roles. From my point of view Willian is massively underrated, since Cuadrado has arrived he has greatly improved! I still prefer the transfer of a new defensive-minded midfielder, for example Koke. Furthermore i would like to see Varane at Stamford Bridge!
  18. If Willian is put on the left flank, he is much more dangerous, because his right feet is better and cutting in is easier for him. Lucescu knew that and therefore he always played there. You are right that he doesn't have much freedom, supporting Ivanovic doesn't help either. I ask myself, would Sterling be instructed to play similar?!
  19. Under AVB at Porto he was a completely different player, you are right! I don't like his attitude at Zenit! The russians pay him and therefore he should work his socks off, but in these days he does only the necessary things. I don't like players with such an attitude! Against Dortmund he was dangerous, but for Brasil he is at best average. Yeah, you already said that, but its up for a discussion, because he tries hard and with players like Neymar he should be more dangerous. Long story short: in my opinion he is inconsistent as fuck and has really regressed, sad thing, because at his best, his power and shots are entertaining.
  20. He is fat and doesn't track back. Moreover his passing game is shit and he has no vision! In my opinion he is massively overrated! A few years ago he chose money over football, he has made his bed and now has to lie in it!
  21. Heavy statement from Jose Mourinho! If Oscar doesn't come good quickly he will soon be gone.... Mourinho doesn't fuck around!
  22. He is one of the best goalscorer in football history! It's impressive how he still manages to stay in such a good shape and he can't stop scoring! I am curious how far he can lead his team this season in the Champions-League, the match against Schalke 04 really impressed me, nowadays he is a real leader. Unfortunately he plays as a left winger, therefore Bale can't reach his potential.
