Problem is that our players either lack balls or have specific instructions not to shot from distance. Schurre, Eden, Matic proved through their career that they can make long goals but neither did score for us in past year. While Eden and Matic could score,it wasnt their main strength. However Schurrle...who had dozen of long shots for bayer but he doesnt even try. He cut of one of his best abilities completely. And he doesnt develop or try anything to improve. We bought him for his long shot ability and he does fuck all with it.

Ive been watching lille regulary in Eden days. After he joined us, I stopped for awhile but started watching them again back then when we were in need of DM, and initialy I though Mavuba would be good choice, but as soon as I started watching them again, another DM caught my eye; Gueye. He was actualy better than Mavuba and younger. After we signed Matic, I knew we wont go for another DM for some time, but I still watch lille here and there; most notably europa league games or their derbies vs lyon, psg, marseille. I was looking forward how will he cut against everton and he did well at home, but away whole lille team fell apart and he couldnt do much. Only thing he may have problems with is his size. He is realy small, strong though, but pl is another beast. But I think he would surprise a few if he ever joined us. We did realy well with buys from ligue 1, like Drogba, Essien, hazard, even Malouda. Unfortunely there isnt many quality players there anymore, but I always keep an eye for potential players that might be good for us.

He might go to Inter, so we will need to add another winger. Hopefuly this time not someone too young with no end product. I would prefer someone with better ending product and quality crosses over someone speedy and flashy...

This. Ive been saying that for ages. Gueye is the perfect kind of backup for us if we ever go for another DM. And he wouldnt cost fortune I think. He is underrated as hell. Pogba is not DM at all. He is b2b at best but even then he doesnt like to defend much. Its not that he cant, but he doesnt like it. He is more a AM than DM but with giant body.

Terry loves playing in the hole

I would love us to have one player who would combine what Mikel and Ramires do because that would release extra spot. And Song is pretty close to that. But we dont need him atm, however I think eventualy we will need player in mould of Mikel/Ramires and back up for Cesc ala Cabaye. Ramires and Mikel almost never play at same time and neither is starter, though both have certain qualities.

BVB signed Kevin Kampl from Salzburg for 10mio, he plays same position as Reus. Transfer will be completed in january. Who knows, is Reus during in winter break? Maybe they want to get some more money from him than just 25mio, and I can see us being very interested in that case.

West ham lost 4 games in Premier league this season. In 3 of those 4 games, Song didnt play. I think he is quite the main reason why West ham is so high this season.

If he is the big, big signing in january (contract extension), I will be delighted.

Cesc said he would love it if Messi joined us...I expect shitload of rumours now.

I think I dont need to explain FAPregas Terry starring as wife shagger now

Not sure if new...but he looks like he is about to release rap mix

Home is just brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. Classy, simple, modern, beautiful.

I think this team still lacks that special thing that wins you titles. You know, when you somehow still win in the end no matter the shit performance, scoring out of nowhere, fighting till the end. We have chance to prove it and do the job by winning. If not, mentality will be blown and we will see what happens... We certainly have team good enough to win title. We have coach to win the title. If we dont win title, it will be our fault, and I think our side is simply very young and isnt mentaly on top yet.

You would be stupid not to want him here...after all Mou converted him in CB he is today. I dont think Mou and Ramos are realy hating eachother. But will he come here? Absolutely zero chance. He is on great path to become one of Real legends, he is their captain (together with Iker), he loves Real and I think he is just waiting for better contract.

Well city rotates their team alot and they are still winning small teams comfortably...this is their advantage. I want them to lose because that pellegrini is such a cunt and his talk about us that we will do arsenal...i hope karma hits him fucker.

Probably Marin just comming back from loan...

Its not that he would sit on bench. We could rotate big time with current formation, but with him we could play Matic-Pogba and Cesc as #10, Oscar on RW etc... Not required, but I think in some time, he would get ahead of Oscar and that midfield of Matic, Pogba and cesc would be probably best in world. Physical, technical, tactical, mobile. First RW and CB, then maybe Pogba if we will have the money and need. Only downside would be that Rlc and Baker will only get in team by some giant miracle then.

There are no wrong opinions...just reasonable and stupid ones.There is also no good or bad, right or wrong. Its people who decide those things and whats popular. Majority wins, minority loses. But its not always they are wrong. Its power of masses.

A: play with strong team, but win is must B: play rotated team with one youth and win is objective, but not must If we play A, and lose, I will be pissed as fuck, not because of potential loss, but because we could simply play some youth instead. But we will win, come on :blue scalf:

I think Mou has to allow bit more freedom to our attackers, work on attacking tactics and bring proper RW (or Willian/Schurrle improves soon). Surely Mou is capable of teaching our team to have planned attacks. He is great at setting up counter attacks, but when we play against organised defense, we are bit too slow and players seem to not realy know what to do (for example we never use width, and we rely on individual skill too much). This is where Mou could still make plenty of improvements on our team, but I feel he wants realy solid defense and that decreases our attacking potential. Secondly, our attackers are mostly young and not long together, there will surely be further improvements from them and they will be more consistent, regardless of Mou tactics.

Apart from some games, our whole attack was positioned bad. Something I think Mou should work on, but just cant. We dont use width, we dont use through balls enough (we have players to do it, but we dont). Our FBs dont get involved in attack enough (except Iva who then goes missing in defense). Its not just Costa that is at fault in our combination football. Its whole attack, but we can improve and we showed it, but just not enough consistent. We are not fast enough and when you compare us to bvb 2012/2013 (i believe this is what Mou wants to achieve), we lack movement, vision and passing skill big time. Too many individual actions or we play so slow that our players get surrounded and defenses positioned. And then Willian/Costa or sbd loses the ball because he tries on his own and there is no movement around him/or they simply lack visio and skill to pass that ball. And how many fucking times did player A run near player B with ball, while A should run in open space, away from B and then recieve the ball.

Psg will be out there to take revenge and they did look fine against barca at home. Lot will depend on Luiz if he will have one of his better or worse performances. But its all on us, if we have the winning mentality, we should beat them. It would be also kinda funny if Luiz fucks up massively, considering they bought him for 50m from us.

Any truth to the Strootman rumours?
