Very strange comparison again. Trumpesque. Neymar has always mainly been a left forward, since academy days at Santos. Essentially saying you can't compare Hazard and Neymar. How ridiculous.

That doesn't matter much to me, guy performs in the biggest games all the time. For me that's one of the most important qualities in a player. @DYC.'s post sums it up perfectly.

Neymar > Hazard. Not even close now. Sorry guys.

If we're going for a Portuguese FB it has to be Semedo.

Dahoud plays for BMG, where Christensen plays. Just because you haven't heard of him doesn't mean others haven't. I mean BMG were even in the CL this year lol.

@Jason regularly watches BMG if I'm not wrong. He'll have a better perspective. From what I've seen from Dahoud though, he is a true B2B midfielder, in that he effects both halves of the game in a positive manner. Caught my eye big time when watching Christensen and Thorgan occasionally, he stood out quite a lot between them. Conte's biggest gripe with Fabregas is his lack of athleticism but Dahoud has that in bundles. Defensively, he's very 'feisty' if you want, tackles very well. The main thing he has to work on is his decision making and he seems a little bit under developed tactically but nothing Conte can't fix. He has all the tools, him and Kante in midfield would be one of the most dynamic pairings out there.

Two players that I definitely want us to sign so far are Semedo and Bakayoko. Both quite attainable. We'd still need to find a LWB, RF and possibly a striker if Costa leaves. Those two would be a great start though.

Yup, looks like a very realistic buy. I'm happy with a young Yaya prototype in midfield next to Kante.

Shevchenko 3.0.

A reminder that someone would actually rather buy Matuidi than Verratti.

That means selling Christensen imo. I'd rather have Andreas.

Icardi, Belotti.

It's clear Begovic really wants to go. Craig's a decent no. 2 replacement. Begovic isn't that good.

He isn't worth a penny over £40m imo. United can have him. Edit: don't hate me Jason.

@BTLvid

He's almost tailor made for the LCB role and also provides good cover at CM imo.

Probably slightly more than that but still, refuse to believe you've watched Verratti play for that many times and think he's just a 'tidy passer'. Imaginary cousin? Do you want me to take some photos for you so that you can see he wasn't imaginary? Imaginary like you pretending to be a grime producer who's produces for the likes of Nines in the Hip Hop topic? Lmao. If you want to check, that MOTM was actually won by 3 votes, sadly for you. So stop making up stuff. Same way you're pretending to have watched Verratti that many times. How can anyone who's seriously watched him that many times say he's simply a tidy passer and prefer Matuidi over him? I genuinely can't believe you're trying to get at me for saying that Sturridge should've been starting over Torres during his time here; all I was essentially saying? That he was our best striker at the time already, and has scope to grow into a top striker (as he's proven today). You'd be daft to think otherwise right now. If that's a bad opinion to have then I don't know for you. Lay off the drugs kid, clearly living in some alternate universe.

How many times have you seen Verratti play? Serious question. Can't believe anyone would want a nearly 30 year old Matuidi over Verratti.

Azpilicueta yes. Cahill no. The onus of the point I was trying to make in that point was more about Cahill not being comfortable enough in possession to play further forward. Azpi is obviously much more comfortable on the ball so he has been given more freedom to join the team when we're moving forward. Quoting it like that completely takes it out of context lol.

Still really impressive imo.

But Diego can't create chances for himself.

Flat track bully is back. And... this is a good thing.

Strange. It looks like an error to me tbh.

Why does Fabregas have 37 crosses?

Yes, let's delay the club's progression even further....
