This guy is not a winner. Simple as that.

You should hate the way we played not him scoring against us.

Still complaining about the refs despite we had 12 men yesterday. Its getting ridiculous that we think about refs all this time, players and Mou should start thinking how could THEY fucked up so bad. Our players lack balls, heart, spirit. This is exactly why you have to think twice before selling characters like Luis. We lack such type of players in decisive matches. Not saying we shouldnt sell him though.

Where is the spirit and the heart in this team I dont know... Sometimes we play like bunch of mercenaries. I mean how can you be so disinterested in CL game against 10 men. The negative tactics mean shit when there are no results.

It was liquidator no doubt. Everyone knows his love for Salah.

I get what you mean, but Matuidi was amazing against many teams, including Barca. And he is consistent for few years now. Not to mention Matuidi plays in france and is regular for national team, while Fernandinho played for shakhtar all these years. And they paid 40m for him or sth, Matuidi (if he forces to leave), will not be that expensive.

Casemiro is exciting prospect too. On loan at porto from Madrid, but could be sold since Madrid bought Lucas Silva. Definately one to keep an eye.

His job is to make our Torres signing look less of a failure. He is doing decent job tbh.

I think this will be more tight match than people think. Psg is in good run, most of players returned and they will go on knife to beat us after last year. Our advantage is that they played two games while we had whole week rest. And obviously SB, we play more comfortable there. If we play to our strenghts, we will knock them out, if we put another average performance, it will make our lives alot harder.

Scored 17 goals since 13th december in la liga alone.

True, but Matuidi is more b2b than classic DM. But surely he can play both roles great, he is just better with bit more freedom as b2b.

Neighbours garden gnomes are always cooler than yours.

I heard some rumours that he wont extend contract with Psg and want to join Premier league. His price is apparently around 20m. While many want Pogba, including me, he is not worth 80m and Matuidi would be more suitable for us as he has more experience, tactical awarness and stronger mentality. Heard Arsenal, City and United are keeping tabs on him too. Imo if we sell Ramires for certain reason, Matuidi would be fine addition. He is more reliable with the ball and has knock to make some deciding moments in big games too. What do you think?

He was decisive in second goal vs spurs, I dont care if it was confirmed as own goal...without Costa, that wouldnt be a goal anyway. This is getting ridiculous btw, every player hits lack of form, the key is to regain it and Costa can do it, Im sure. Its his first season here and he is doing amazing job so far. And for the record, its not just Costa. Take a look at our performances overall, Cesc form, how many goals we scored,...in comparison with first six months. So its not just Costa, but whole team that is underperforming in 2015. If not for defenders, our results would be quite bad now.

Thank you for creating this brilliant thread. I would personaly buy Torres and Di Santo as soon as possible. I always wanted those two to compete here at the same time to see who is ''better'' at scoring goals for us. As for Kane and Costa, they arent half the players Torres and Di Santo are. And if we ever buy Kane, I hope we sign Townsend in pack because that dude is a beast. Clearly the best player in league, twice the Hazard.

The joy on this forum over Kane is because he is english and people here who are english are excited because he can give england alot in future. No doubt Kane is good and hit of season, but next year there will be pressure. And first let him have two good seasons, see him watch perform for top club and in CL and then we wil see how far will Kane go. Maybe one of best but also maybe as another "could be". Bas Dost is in top form too, but isnt getting half the recognition Kane does. From our perspective, we have Costa and so far it works very well. P.S. the ballon dor comparisons are ridiculous btw, the perfect overhyping of english player.

The one thing I dislike about Isco is that he is more of a fancy player rather than someone who does things. He does alot of little flicks and dribbles, but he isnt the one who can change the game, dictate tempo etc. In this regard I rate Koke much higher. There is also reason why Madrid is struggling now that Modric and James are out (though Im not sold on James either). Nonetheless, Isco is fantastic player, reminds me alot on Hazard in certain aspects. But IMO this team needs Koke (simple but effective play, team performances) over Isco (individual skill, nice to watch, but not as efficient).

I say lets wait until end of next season. He could be or he could be not. Even the latest biggest english player Rooney is not fullfilling his potential and he was more talented than Kane.

Wasnt it 30m euros?

This motherfucker scored more crucial goals for Chelsea than Ronaldo did for Real. Absolutely no doubt Iva is Chelsea legend and a big one too!

Yeah but I think people need to realize he wont get 3+ games in a row if he doesnt impress Mourinho. And so far Cuadrado was meh at best in games so far. While I dont blame Cuadrado for anything, you pay 30m for a player who will perform instantly, not for someone who will need time to adjust. If you sign Reus for example, he will take one month and then start performning well. If Cuadrado cant overtake Willian, he never will. I only wonder why do we spend 30m on player that wasnt meant to be given fair chance to show himself. Cuadrado needs to show more in order to bench Willian and he isnt doing that. When you buy player, he wont have guaranteed spot until he performs above average. If he does that, he gets more play time. Its simple as that. Mourinho will probably play Cuadrado this way for quite some time and if Juan wont perform above average, he wont get spot. simple as that. And people here after a year will say he didnt get chance etc etc. If you arrive for 30m, its your job to perform, one way or another. Instead all these players we have are just passive and then explode in other clubs. But I guess Mourinho restricts their roles massively. No free role or whatsoever and that makes hard to Cuadrado, Salah etc. Even when they get chance, they cant play their way and this is Mou problem to solve. And while speaking of game time, Isco for example was benched alot for Real in past two years, but still managed to impress in the time given and now is considered regular starter (he had some luck with James injury but still, performed very well). We are title contenders and we wont give players like Cuadrado much time to improve, impress perform whatsoever. They have to show it in time given that they are better. And since Willian aint that great in attack (been better this two months has to be said), I dont know how cant Cuadrado give more to attack. He is passive, like someone tied his hands. No spark whatsoever. And thats problem on Mou too. But if thats case, just dont spend 30m on such players. Either seriously count on them, or buy some 30 year old for 5m and play him for capital game every two months.

He was actualy realy good since game one for fiorentina. I wonder why Cuadrado needs so long to ''adjust'' I read here every day. Yeah its bigger club, bigger team, but its also a better player, you dont pay 30m for someone who needs half season to adjust. One month yes, then when he gets chance he needs to be one of more visible players, not playing side role until he is sold.

While i love his unselfish play, I dislike that he doesnt take responsibility and shot on goal. It was one on one and if there was Bale, Neymar,...they would take a shot and score probably. He needs to become cool infront of goal and score. As our best player, we will need him to finish chances on his own. Cant rely on Wilian etc who are very weak finishers as we saw. He needs to improve his mentality, take responsibility and do things instead of just attempt them. And he will be our leader. Other than that, a brilliant little player, from pure footballig view best since Zola at bridge.

Koke comes to my mind. Isco maybe but he is more offensive. I do believe Koke in this team would add final piece of puzzle to our attack, or Pogba if he is willing to track alot (he is decent, but under Mou he will have to do it alot more). Koke+Costa=goals goals goals
