  1. Funnily enough he's convinced some United fans to act like this as well. It's almost like a cult following.
  2. Well, I expected Spurs to beat B'mouth quite comprehensively tbh. It's from next game week onwards where they'll start facing teams that can actual make them drop points. Sure, they're in good form, but you've got to be kidding if you think they won't drop points in their last 6 games. I bet they will.
  3. If we're looking for good english talent we should have a look at Nathan Redmond. Very intelligent, would make a superb squad player.
  4. Quote sums it up quite well. From Hazard's own mouth.
  5. Apparently this guy is now saying we're one of a few teams that defends with 11 players.
  6. Ahhhh, on form Diego. Miss that guy.
  7. It's what Musonda should've done. They'd be Anderlecht's main players rn. Shame.
  8. I know they're kinda different but he reminds me of Mata when we signed him. Juan sort of had the same problem of drifting in and out of games a lot.
  9. Monaco won't sell Mbappe for anything less than 100m imo. Especially if he continues to develop as he is.
  10. Our wing backs are our wingers. How often do you see Pedro or even Hazard hugging the touch line? They're always in the half spaces. That's where Alexis thrives so, he wouldn't play where he is for Arsenal right now if we were to sign him.
  11. We should insert a buy back clause.
  12. Sure, would love to know what you're smoking though. Must be some powerful stuff.
  13. Avoid. Would genuinely struggle in the PL. Barcelona are trying to get rid.
  14. It's difficult as they have a talent like Dolberg there too, but yeah he seems to work best as a striker. Maybe even as a second striker. Should've stayed at CFC tbh.
  15. He has a bit more finesse than Diego but yes, they are quite similar. He's better on the ball - i.e. knows his limits. Diego thinks he's Messi sometimes.
  16. Ajax started playing him as a 9 and he's improved loads.
  17. First assist of the season, and it was a beauty. You can tell he's focusing on improving his final ball, he a bit riskier with it now. Hopefully that'll lift his own confidence.
  18. He'll cost at least 25m/30m. Monaco would be the perfect place for his development though.
  19. Shout out to @Henrique who saw it coming from miles away.
  20. Christensen is a much better defender than Boateng was at his age. Boateng was a decent prospect but nowhere near as good as Andreas was at his age. He improved significantly under Pep at Bayern. I wouldn't really call him a new school centre back because he has good ball skills. He has a very classy and elegant way of defending, that some old school defenders like Beckenbauer or Maldini for example had too. He wasn't voted BMGs POTY just because he has nice skills on the ball, he's actually a smart defender too. Conte will do wonders with him. You talk about Cahill being better in the air but that stat proves that it wouldn't be a downgrade per se. The guy will get bigger. He has the right frame already, and will naturally put on more weight in the coming years. Also, Cahill can be quite stupid when it comes to marking in set pieces, as we've seen on numerous occasions in his career.
  21. I just want him gone because I don't think he sees himself here for long. We should cash in on him because he'll leave regardless. He'll never be fully settled here.
  22. Who was it that was worried about whether he'd cope in the PL with challenges? @BlueLyon? The guy is such a clean defender it doesn't matter.
  23. One thing I can say is that Alonso is certainly better than both Gaya and Rodriguez. Especially Rodriguez who's severely overrated because he has a decent left foot.
