The Skipper

I don't mind him as a squad player on squad wages tbh. He's still okay enough to be our 3rd choice striker. That's if he's willing to come here under that.

In what world does Traore have bad technique? Have you even seen him play at all? His technical abilities are his strengths...

Traore does not have bad technique at all...

I certainly don't think RLC is the best academy talent (my favourites are Boga and Solanke) but I don't think Ake as better technique than RLC... They're both pretty technical players but RLC has more to his game, he can drift past players and does everything Ake can as well or better (technically speaking here). You will never see Ake getting the ball past players with close control like RLC does tbh. I've never seen it in his game, whilst RLC has shown a lot of flashes. For me it's not even questionable that RLC has a higher ceiling due to his ability to make a difference on both sides of the pitch. With all respects to ja1 (who I think is a fantastic poster), I think he's undermining RLC a bit. I've seen about 20 games from him myself over the last year or so and he's shown in enough games that he definitely has the talent. What I'm happy about with RLC is that he's been given the opportunity. He's a project. He's definitely not there yet but if he applies himself in the right way he definitely has the body to become a very good player. RLC has had enough games where he's shown that he's the best player on the pitch by a mile for me.

It was me. I don't understand why you compare the two? It's like comparing Makelele to Ballack.

The crowd wasn't even small, that wasn't anywhere near the main area.

Lol. Who tweets that?

Florentino Perez does what he wants tbh. There were even rumours that he approached Jose very recently to see if he would come back. Jose said no.

Because of a destroyed dressing room. The likes of Casillas, Pepe, Ramos etc. stepping up to him.

Jose wasn't "sacked" because of his lack of trophies... Florentino Perez actually wanted to keep him. He still holds him in very high regard.

Otamendi was the best CB in La Liga this season.

Honestly, it's been said so many times. It's not the fact that Lampard plays for City. It's how he went about it, in a sneaky, underhanded manner. Many of the same people have said they wouldn't begrudge Cech a move to Arsenal or United at all. Do you not know why that is?

I thought Inzaghi had his job secured?

What's that, £28.5m right? Isn't too far away from what I would pay for him. £20m-25m is a fair price.

Definitely. He's very young, he's shown that he has the ability IMO. To say he's a championship manager was just ridiculous though.

Huge fan of Otamendi. Sign him up.

Pellegrini is the tactical one?

20 goals in 26 appearances. No matter what way you look at it, he's had a great first season.

That's gorgeous.

Remy is class, but when both are on form it's not close tbh.

This is ridiculous, when he was sacked from West Brom they were well above the relegation zone. They finished 11th in the season he was sacked (unjustifiably, a lot of WBA fans were still behind him). For us, he obviously wasn't the man but he didn't do so badly. Winning an FA Cup and CL and starting the following season off pretty well. Obviously CFC is too big for him though. Schalke's apparent dismissal was pretty unfair as well considering he took over when they were 11th and steered them to 5th. You've got it all wrong when it comes to the WBA and Schalke stuff. He did okay with them. Like I said, have some respect. He isn't a championship standard coach. He has flaws, but he's definitely a top division manager.

Why are you so money orientated? We don't need to sell...

If he does that consistently we have a world class player on our hand.
