This will be ultimate destruction of Schalke. Their back four are all out injured, I have no doubt about that. I think I will bet on us to win by 3 goals atleast.

Only problem for BVB is that they are inconsistent as fuck (partly due to injures too) ever since that CL final. They put world class performance like tonight or vs Real last year, but then go and lose against average german team. If they can play like this week in week out, they could seriously attack Bayern in title race, but its only matter of time when they will put weird loss to Hoffenheim, Hertha, Freiburg etc...

Thought that Abramovic and Gazprom will make some sort of bypass of Ffp with giant contract tbh. We all know Roman and Gazprom are close and sure they could make something. In that case we wouldnt even need that big contract from main sponsor.

I bought Samsung phone, but now what, I will have to buy a damn plane? On serious note, 25m is terrible, when you know arse are getting 30m...

Staying undefeated could happen, but not with current defence IMO.

Sure he isnt Joe Cole's brother?

So the mods have locked Jonjo thread because it was never going to happen, but left this one open? Whats the difference, you dont realy expect we can potentialy sign Ronaldo? Mourinho history, his age, wages and fee, etc.. Have nothing against the fact that thread is closed, but find it funny because of the reason why is closed...

Not sure but think he is actualy our highest earner at 250k. makes sense why he joined us despite arsenal past...

Rumours he will sign extension till 2019 for 250k per week

The only thing Mou didnt expect was Oscar's eventual lack of stamina. He was top runner for season and half, then he got suddenly very tired after every game. He always had energy to run in attack and defence, now its clear he lacks bit of stamina to truly excel on both ends. But his tactical awarness is probably better than any other #10 or attacker in general. His awarness and discipline to know when to cover DM, CM or even fullbacks is quite outstanding. But he certainly dropped from #10 role. I rarely see him actualy run around penalty area, he goes much deeper these days with Cesc going forward, or he goes on wing with Hazard moving in the middle. Basicaly he is everywhere and I dont understand how people still "expect" him to rack assists and goals. He already contributes in attack alot, and when he will truly gain some more stamina, I think he will be our key player, someone who is not seen much but still vital to the side. And thats exactly what Mou is making him to be. Once he was typical playmaker or even second striker, he dropped that just to help team defend and on top of that his brain is superb. Hope he gets his body on same level and then we will get ultimate midfielder. He will never be "strong" ala Toure, but he can give pretty much anything else. Time is all he needs and under Mou, Im sure he will reach the potential (as allround midfielder, not #10). He makes odd passes here and there, but Motta for example was also decent CM in the beggining, but eventualy got superb passing range and tactical awarness. Think Oscar will do the same.

We should go with Cech Azpi-Terry-Cahill-Luis Ramires-Matic Schurrle-Willian-Hazard Costa/Remy Certainly sub Costa, Hazard and Terry at one point when we lead comfortably with Salah, Zouma and Remy. I would rest Costa and Hazard, but i think Mou will still play them because its important match. We play at Sb and they miss half their team; we need to take two goal lead as soon as possible and rest few players for City game. Oscar and Brana need some rest IMO. VS CITY we will probably play standard pl defence and then Ramires-Matic-Cesc Oscar-Costa-Hazard Both Oscar and Ramires will play IMO because Oscar offers tactical awarness and will cover our back, while Ramires adds speed and stamina in midfield. Rest is more or less obvious.

Dribbling was/is miles better with Robben, but otherparts of their game are kinda similar.

Not a single defender that plays these days is better than prime Terry, Puyol, Maldini, Cannavaro, Blanc, Deschamps, Helguera etc. Not a single one.

Not too bad though...

The team with so called best player in world lost to Atletico for like 3rd? time this year... What worries me about current United is Di Maria and thats all. Question is will Falcao even play there with Rooney and rvp ahead of him. And if United wants to splash 100m on 30yo Ronaldo let them do that...as long we keep Hazard and other key players.

But but they have James!

I would wait for 10 games at least, than we will talk. Last year he had pretty much same start too.

Dont think he is actualy best fb but he shows passion and determination no one else does atm and that puts him further than his actual abilities. One of best at the moment.

Varane has release clause of 25m Reus has release clause of 30m Pogba will be on last year of contract, cant be more than 30m I think those are realistic targets for us in next few years, world class potential for peanuts, but dont know if we realy need them, maybe Varane.

Think at the moment if we need any player it is CB...Varane, Godin etc...

A pl title in the end will be just enough

Think we will have more trouble with big teams, but jose could pull master trick if he just closes down and does the job on counter, like vs city last year

Because he can.

Fucking hell we are watching barca style right there

Should go to Valencia...he is almost their legend, knows the city, they have good project and CL next year probably. Nice weather and la liga suits him well.
