I remember that night. Didnt have exam next day, but presentation in history. And we watched game, then got wasted, in morning straight to school and you can imagine how shit I looked and sounded when talking about crusade wars that I couldnt give two fucks about that day. Teacher only gave me positive because I was apparently funny and kept knocking on table for some reason LOL.It was one of those best times you wont ever forget.

Kagawa is shadow of himself nowdays.

So he got award for best pl player of month january?

Bayern are red Schalke are blue Dortmund are going To bundesliga 2

What a twist. Salah will wear #74 at fiorentina in honour of victims.

What is going on with BVB realy? Surely they cant be THE WORST in germany... And Reus, Hummels were poor again.

Well when did we sign last english player? Was it Cahill in jan 2012? Thats 3 years since we brought home player and its terrible. As much players like Barkley will cost a fortune and might never make it here, we will NEED to buy few of them to fill homegrown quota, but also to have some english blood here. It would be sad not to have any of them even if we win all kind of titles. While Ox and Sterling look like best among young players, they will never be sold to us. Then we have Stones who I believe wouldnt get in our team anytime soon. Zouma is already youngster to play here. Barkley or Prowse would add some midfield creativity and would fit bench well, but not much more than that unless they seriously improve. But not sure if its worth 30m for another bench player. Clyne IMO is best choice we can buy atm and would fill well to replace aging Iva. But even Clyne who is good player, will have to step big time to be starter here. All said, we will have to spend 30m on english player or two, and even if they rot on bench for rest of their career.

And even if he was...ukrainian league cannot be compared to pl. Look at mkhitaryan. Rippin that league with 25 goals, but was realy poor for bvb. Sometimes player has 0 goals, but different league suits him and he scores alot there or vice versa. The only bad thing is that we still dont have natural finisher besides Costa in 11. For example Bayern has Robben/Muller and Real has Ronaldo. Right now we might have best dribbling duo in world (should Cuadrado succeed), but who will take those chances regulary? Costa alone wont be enough IMO. And when opponents close down, we will have to perform quick and efficient actions, while Hazard and Cuadrado might have all the flair in the world, but sometimes a penetrating shot is more efficient and we dont have a player who can score from outside, even Costa cant. Cuadrado scored some crackers, but lets see how he does here first. That said, I cant wait to see Cuadrado play for us, and villa away is perfect match for him. Lets see how they cope against dribbler on each wing.

Too bad Hutchinson had his injury problems. I am certain he would be starter now if he wasnt injured all the time. He looked so promising in 2010.

Saw this on FB, not bad if true. We now have two brilliant dribblers, one on each side.

He is defo worth more than 10m. Somehow I feel he will have last laugh. Could easily get in england eleven and earn big move with good performances at Soton. Realy great lad, never complained, worked hard and its normal he wanted to play more. He deserves to play regular football for Soton and maybe, just maybe one day he comes back because Luis wont be here forever. Good luck Ryan and thanks for that magnificent CL performance

Ok, lets just splash another xxmio on Oscar replacement and hope he wont be as inconsistent. As far as I know we are still first in PL, Oscar is improving and I dont see real need for replacement. Some players need more time some less. What is clear is that Oscar suits Mou system perfectly and in few years he can be realy realy good. Oscar last season, he had good first half, terrible second. This year, he will probably perform similar through whole season. Next season even better etc. And if you are pointing at his performances vs better teams where he wasnt exactly brilliant, then maybe we should look for Cesc replacement because he was average (wont say crap) in most big games too. The main problem with Oscar is that he needs time. But fans here want instant success and its easy to say sell oscar buy koke or whoever. I would give Oscar at least next season and then we will see. In dream world I would love to see Pogba-Matic-Koke as our midifield, but we have Oscar and thats reality. And I love Zouma development but you people are getting ahead of yourselves. He is promising but lets see how he does till end of season and then talk. One two bad games and people will say he is crap.

I wont be surprised if by tomorrow evening Shurrle and Salah will still be here and Cuadrado transfer will be canceled...

He is young. Thats all. Give him few years and we will have one of best midfielders in the world. Consistency, experience and his influence in games will grow with each year. Only thing he has to do is get some more muscle and thats it. Have some faith.

Sure its difficult sometimes, but his heading accuracy is weird. Im not saying he should head it straight to team mate, but he can head it at least in certain way. Not always, but usualy he has time and height. Usualy big guys head the ball away from danger, not right into it.

The only thing we 'suck' at this year is keeping the lead. We were leading twice vs city, once vs united, once vs liverpool (ccup) and once vs spurs. And vs bradford but that wasnt big game. We have not won single of those games, if we cant handle to score and keep that lead, we have to change the tactics in future. Mou said its better to lose fighting, than win or draw with poor game. But he is doing exact opposite. As long we will be winning long term its OK though.

Yes

Possibly yes.

He is fucking beast in defending and ball repossesion, aerial duels and tackling, but he realy needs to be more concentrated in game. He is our holding midfielder and this is key position in game. When he gets the ball, everyone goes forward, and if he loses it, it can lead to extremely dangerous counter attack. He needs to be more reliable when in possession, he makes some wrong passes and players get quickly behind him. Also, he wins most of headers, but he heads the ball very randomly IMO, sometimes straight to opponent who can create fast attack. That said, beast of midfielder.

Ibarbo IRL -> Shit

So lets say Cuadrado IN, Salah, Schurrle OUT, who else will be joining us? Mou is big pragmatic and will definately work on two in, two out. Have we been linked to anyone else seriously? (I dont think we will buy Sissoko, no chance) Perhaps someone coming back from loan or promoting another youngster to first team? I doubt it, but would be nice, however maybe little risky if someone picks injury.

Not quite yet, but Arsenal and their 4th spot, its destiny... That 4th place on table should be renamed from ''qualification to Champions league play-off round'' spot into ''Arsenal'' spot.

Ibarbo to Roma. Rudi Garcia is seriously building his FUT team...first Doumbia, now Ibarbo

Look how villa transform in barca next week when we play them. But seriously, there should be no excuse, we have to beat them. They are absolute shit atm and its irrelevant if Jose never won there, chelsea has ten times better squad than villa and we simply have to win there.

What about 10 finals 10 goals? He scored vs spurs this year already. This man is born to play finals.
