Yeah Vucinic is decent but he doesn't score enough goals and hes often disinterested by the looks of certain games. Llorente is a decent option, I don't particularly think hes class but hes a good signing for Juve. Tevez is an exceptional signing. He can play upfront on his own or in that role Giovinco plays too to give them even more options.

They were already good enough but Tevez and Llorente gives them more options.... I'd probably say if we get them next year in the CL they will smash us...

There is a chance Neymar can fail, its not nailed on he will adapt to Spain easily and be a success. Its never that simple I suppose though. He went for €28m plus €10m fees etc but Barca announced they payed €57m for him? Yeah I'm gonna have to go with what Barca released in their statement when they signed him. Doubt they'd lie in an official statement. Are you saying that its basically ok to dive then just to win? Its not. Diving is cheating, you shouldn't see it from players. I know about the relationship between Brazil and Uruguay/Argentina. The games are usually like that, with a lot of fouls etc but still its a disgrace to see players like Neymar flying 5 ft in the air from a clean tackle or him holding his face because someones arm hit his chest. Its disgraceful. I never said anything about Neymar thinking he'll be the best in the world, I'm on about how a lot of former Brazilian players and a lot of fans make out like hes just as good as Ronaldo and Messi or even better when hes nowhere near them. I hate when I see "Neymar is just as good as Ronaldo" or "Neymar is the same as Messi" because its clearly untrue. How can they even be compared, Neymar has been playing in Brazil all his life, Messi and Ronaldo have played in Europe their whole careers and have broken massive records at massive clubs. Yeah obviously Neymar doesn't care, he gets a big massive salary and plays football professionally, why would he care what anyone else thinks? But like Suarez, his reputation will go before him with his diving and then fouls that should have been fouls won't be given due to that. That was what I was meaning.

Somebody needs to stop him doing stupid shit like that. I mean what is the point doing it that blatantly? Could have cost his team the game had Forlan scored and things went differently.

Why the fuck did he pull Cavani (?) to the ground to give away that penalty, what an idiot he is some of the time. Things like that, that still make me worry about him as our main CB, you'd expect a 26 year old to not do that sort of things or do it a lot more discretely than what he did it lmao.

Hes having good performances yes but hes doing shit like diving and that's just going to harm his reputation as a footballer. Nobody said hes going to fail, Europe is a totally different ball game to Brazil and for 57 million euros you'd except a massive risk having only played for Santos, same with Oscar when we signed him last summer. Plus all this talk about him being one of the best in the world is absolute nonsense.

If hes desperate to move like his mum and dad say, he should fucking hand in a transfer request and stop being a little bitch. Fuck their 60 odd million price tag, an unhappy player not wanting to be there should make them lower their price.

Hes been doing it all tournament. Against Italy to win that freekick he scored, he basically dived. Was a slight bit of contact and he jumped up and fell over as if he'd been mauled.

Carlo firstly has to get Madrid to play as a team and not rely on Ronaldo's goal scoring. Ultimately that was a big factor to Jose's down fall this year along with other things. The team was built around Ronaldo obviously but he cannot carry a team for a full season. The year they won La Liga, Benzema and Higuain both scored a lot more goals, Ozil had more assists and they also kept more clean sheets in comparison to this year.

Wait has all this started because I said Drogba was one of the laziest bastards I've ere seen at times in the Cavani thread?

Or have that bastarding Porto president executed, what a cunt he is with all his massive release clauses.

I don't give a fuck about his work rate to be honest. Drogba was one of the laziest bastards I've ever seen in my life, especially 2 or 3 seasons ago, but he provided the goods then so it doesn't matter for me. Why care about a strikers work rate? If they can score goals and help others score goals fuck their work rate.

40 odd million for Mangala? We could buy 50% of Porto for that surely.

Obviously Paulinho is a good player by the time he starts ahead of Ramires, Lucas Leiva, Fernando (Porto), Hernanes, Fernando (Shakhtar) etc etc. Didn't rate him at first look but don't judge a book by the its cover. Hes impressed me for most games hes featured in with Brazil that I've seen. Some players take the quick route to the top, like Messi, who was a phenomenon at a really young age and some others take their time, like Drogba did, didn't really achieve anything until he was around 23 or 24 in France.

Didn't he not call Choulo Bin Laden up there? I'd imagine thats why.

Lukaku was £13m upfront, not £10m. Still a bargain in a way as he will surely become a top top player here.

Well himself and his managers at club and country probably do...

Point is he is scoring goals. He struggled to score against shit teams last year didn't he ? Not saying hes gonna score tonnes of goals or that this year but at least hes scoring goals albeit against Tahiti and Nigeria.

A pointless comment to make don't you think supposing Germany isn't in the tournament?

Loan him to a side that pass the ball in either England, Holland or Spain. Someone like Swansea or Ajax would be ideal but yet again Swansea are set to sign that Jose Canas guy from Betis on a free transfer and I'm not sure if Ajax would take him.

I reckon he'd probably get more games at Chelsea especially if Romeu goes out on loan. Can't see Carlo just selling Alonso and Khedira like that in his first season. Very much depends on whether Chelsea or Madrid or whoever else have bid/agreed a deal or what not though. 8 million euros would be an awesome deal for any club.

Isn't his release clause not only 17 million euros or something? Would be a steal from what I've heard about him.

Ok it seems 4-3-2-1 doesn't seem too popular hahahahhahahahahahahaha

He also used 4-3-2-1 too at Milan I'm sure.

Could be an option for Carlo, Ronaldo comes inside a lot anyway to get shots off so playing him in a free role he could do whatever he wants could make him even better. He could also go out wide still and stretch teams.
