What career is there to save? He's won everything he needs. World cup 2 Euros Europa league Champions league Premier league this season Uefa team of the year Silver Boots Golden boots Countless youth tournament honors Spanish second division title He's going to the world cup again this summer, and probably the 2016 Euros if we are going to be really honest. He would be a fool to leave this contract early because nobody will ever pay him as much as we are doing right now.
Funny how mata can lose his dummy with a tantrum when subbed by us, but has no reaction when subbed for them. So delightfully funny. He was absolutely awful today.
The Brazilian midfield is a nice cohesive unit though. It's probably a hell of a lot easier to play good in front of paulinho and Gustavo while next to hulk and neymar and press from the front than it is to constantly having to turn around and press from the back. Hell, even stick in someone like fernandinho(who I feel has been Manchester city's best player this season) and it still works. He has less work to do with them.
To be fair though Schurrle shows flashes of brilliance in attack that, if more frequent, would show him worth the 18 million. Willian would have to change completely to be worth such a fee as an Attacking midfielder or winger.
