Thor

I think he's a highly overrated prospect and he'll annoy the hell out of a lot of posters much in the same likeness as Bosingwa did. Then agian, he's young and may improve upon things, and with today's game, an attacking presence at his position is almost more important than a defending one.

So you could say... you'd both arrive at the same time. Ba dum tsshhhh* Thank you, thank you. But seriously don't. His vision and play-making will be affected by that.

Whatever we're paying him, it's worth it. The kid was the centerpiece for Lille. He did everything and is such a dominant player on the game. Some of you need to stop worrying about the price and realize you have one of the best players in Europe to watch next year, and he's only 21 and going to get better.

What's going on in here? I heard this bloke is a decent footballer. We should start him in the reserve squad and see if he is good enough to play with the big boys.

I can confirm that we know the same amount as we knew before. In other words, not that much.

Give the kid what he wants. He's a star already, and he'd be one here becoming our best player as soon as he signs. That being an 'if' though.

Demba Ba can be picked up for 7 million. Which may in fact happen.

Dzeko essentially does everything Adebayor does but better.

Sorry to go off topic, but not really, Haha, QLD won!

From what I've watched he's perfect for Man Utd. He could sit right behind Rooney and play that creative role, which is about the only thing they are missing in the middle. Everywhere else they are sured up.

I'll admit, I'm not a fan of signing players from countries who haven't often produced great talent, and this is one of those cases. Although I've watched a few of their games, and even those highlight videos on youtube; which I get bored of very quickly and shut off for almost every player, and I got to say, his game is very aesthetically pleasing. Also one of the few that I've actually sat through and watched the whole highlight video, so thanks for that DDA-Drogstar. Could we play him in a midfield role, or is he only really suited to sitting right behind the striker like Mata?

Yeah. I bet Middlesbrough are shocked he doesn't want to go to them and help them with their project of getting back in the PL. Can you believe it? He only wants to go to a successful team? What is your rationale? Seriously. Of course he wants to come here after a UCL win, who wouldn't? It shows the club can do it, and it makes us more attractive than other clubs who can offer similar money in that regard. What are you complaining about. If we can't win with him like you say, then maybe it is time to let him walk to another club.

Some of you are idiotic with your hate. He is one of the most wanted assets in his field. He has a right to toss and turn how he likes. When you hone your craft to that level of precision, you have earned the right. You have earned the right to get the most out of it all. Some of you are ridiculous acting as if you would do differently. You're not a tool or a douche for wanting the best for yourself, and trying to acquire the most you can. This is coming from someone who has great doubts about how his game would even translate in the EPL.

I know, what a douchebag right? Trying to get more money for the job he does. I would never do that for my job.

My personal opinion. I'm so fucking happy that we won. Over the moon, jumping around like a school girl. Though, he shouldn't be our coach going forward. Live in the legend that you've created. He's going to get coaching offers coming through the door, window and roof. Go somewhere else and do it with another team.

City seem to have a plan. Anyone that really shits on them when they play, they plan on buying. And then there is all the other good players in the world... whom they also plan to buy.

Any comparisons as to what type of player he is? What are his strong/weak points outside of the things you mentioned?

Wow, this kid is 18? I just scrambled through a few youtube highlights and I can't really gauge anything. Is he really good and dominating the league over there back home? I think loaning him out to a German or PL side would be the best thing instead of back to his current league. It would give us a good understanding of where he's at.

Talk about a dream come true for a player... haha.

I think Romeu is a good option at CB like KOF suggested. He has great balance and core strength, is hard to push off the ball and generally makes great tackles. That is if one of Cahill or Luiz is unfit.

I've never seen such a pointless in depth discussion on cross league stats and how they should be taken, multiplied, divided and cross checked to be interpreted in a certain way. The guy is a great player. A fantastic one in fact. Enough with the BS of dividing his stats to look a certain way if he played here, there, everywhere. What if the EPL simply suits him better and he does even better? Ronaldo moved to La Liga which is now considered the strongest by many, and he did even better than he did in EPL. Lastly football has not always been about stats. Ramires sure as hell didn't put up the best stats in the team this season, but in my opinion he was the runaway best player in the team. As long as our players are efficient and play the roles as close to perfect as possible, that is all that is needed.

Ozil is bleh. Mata and Hulk > him.

What have Brazil achieved recently exactly? Not much. Who is to say they are making the right selections? They are all gathered in the hype that is their youngsters when the fact is they have far better and more established players like Hulk, who should be getting a call up. How much time did Mata get in the Spanish squad as a regular player in big games (not friendlies) before moving to Chelsea? I can almost guarantee you he's going to be getting a lot more now. Just because he hasn't cracked it yet, doesn't mean he won't. Or like is this case with Hulk, doesn't mean they haven't made a mistake, which they have.

Robben most definitely is. He is top 5 player in the world.

Look at the last page... Pretty much filled with "I'm right, your wrong, football agrees with me"...
