Clockwork

Yeah three different ones.

Not even the best no.10 at Madrid or second imo.

His style is similar to Luiz and Stones. Proactive and very good at bringing the ball forward, type of CB you need if you want to build your attack from the back. Just like Cahill can be very passive, Abdennour can be extremely aggressive. He is a an excellent defender, i don't think we can do better in the current market.

TBF Bale is making that type of money, and he will never in his life win the Ballon D'or. Supply and demand, i don't see why he wouldn't get that type of money from Real and Barca if his stock stays the same or go higher.

If Chelsea wants him I am sure we can make him turn down Valencia. We have been successful in these last minute operations. This would be a fantastic signing.

Or Ramires.. Man English Jurnos are so useless. English Jurnos are speculative writers, they barely ever write anything beside gossip and rumors.

Mario Gotze remember him? Same reason he can't cut it at Bayern is the same reason KDB would have been a failure at Bayern. He doesn't have a place in pep midfield or in attack. He is not suitable for them.

In 1998, Villereal reached top domestic division for the first time in the their club history. In a short 5-6 year span the club established themselves as one of the top sides in La liga on a regular basis and qualified for CL. Impressive feature. on KDB i think he will do well, long term replacement for David silva also.

Huh i think nah i am pretty sure they qualified for CL in 2003. Or was my sentence confusing? i didn't mean 5 years ago from now.

That will be a drag. But tbf huge blunder by our manager to pick Willian over KDB. If Willian signed for Spuds he would be as Irrelevent as any player from Spuds( Obviously English great hope is the exception). It is as clear as day Willian level is a club like Spurs, while KDB was wanted by the likes of City and Bayern.

Fantastic addition for City it has to be said. Not popular but Pellegrini is hellva manager, been a fan since he turned Villarreal into a La liga powerhouse. The yellow submarines were so fun to watch, truely remarkable to think they qualified for their first ever top flight football only five years ago. I keenly watched them because of Riquelme, one of the most talented footballer ever. But anyway, City are already the clear cut fav KDB just makes them even better.

Do you think we could have done better then City in the CL with their draw? Last two seasons they have been knocked out by Barcelona, no shame in losing to argubly the best side in football. Three years ago they were in a group with Real Madrid, Dortmund, and Ajax. Madrid and Dortmund were both simi finilist in that year competition. They have dissapointed in the past, but in recent years i don't think so. City and the rest of PL are not good enough to compete with the best clubs in the world. On the other hand we have been quite lucky with our draws, we honesly should have done better especially last season.

I do, isn't football about entertainment and memories? The shakhtar game(Moses header especially) and the ones against Juve( Oscar debut especially) is as momrable as any group stage matches. The only thing i can remember from last season group stage are the results........scratch that i can even remember that all i can remember is we advanced. Real Madrid vs Chelsea would have been a treat, a matchup to savor and remember for many years.

Maybe Pogba was unavailable when they did the shootings?

Better to fail miserably then to delude ourselves. I like reality checks.

Lol stop putting the term bus Parking and counter attacks in the same sentence. They are not synonymous. Klopp Dortmund taught Mou Madrid a lesson in football. Dortmund owned Bayern for years until Bayern and others took all their best players. Also one thing to park the bus against those sides and another to do that against any decent side. The day we sign players like Pogba is the day they equate Chelsea with a better brand of football.

You guys actually thought we could land pogba? Lol like he would want to come here and park the bus. The only quality players we can land are Barca rejects or Atletico players.

Should have signed for Juve, like it was widely speculated before we came into play.

I honestly would welcome Alti and real matchup. Last two seasons tactical blunders costed us in the CL, against PSG and Atletico. Rather make that blunder against thoes teams in the group stage then in the knockout stage. Better to be tested now and make a change if needed.

Mate the difference is before mou arrived we were building around young players. City is a win now mode, it makes sense to bring in established and older players because their core players like Toure, Silva, Kompany, and Kun window of opportunity is closing. It would be foolish on their part to build a squad for the future when they should focus on winning now.

I think it is Pogba or bust, i do not think we will look at other CMs in this transfer window.

It is the equivalent of Chick fil a imo.

He is out of shape. Just look at this picture, he needs to drop weight. Should be dropped from the staring XI but he won't.

Credit also to Hazard, teams are less likely to go all out attack due to Hazrard presence. Teams take a much more conservative approach.

Willian fanboys are reaching Torres fanboys level. The amount of excuse is unreal. Watching Pedro was like watching Diego Costa initial games. Torres and other strikers we had made us forget what a good striker looked like until Diego Costa arrived. Same with Pedro, completely remained us what a RW is capable and should do. Fanboys wants you to believe that Willian has been poor because of Ivanovic, Pedro debunked that myth already. Lol some are drooling over a simple pass on the counter like it was the greatest thing since sliced bread.
