One would think that a side with such expensive players wouldnt look soo dumb in front of goal... And Oscar...he realy starts to piss me off, his excuse for WC will last only this game...no more excuses next season

baloons...baloons everywhere...

Realy hope we win our last match, put a decent carefree performance, play Baker at some point and win.

Rodriguez probably suits us more in footballing terms, while Shaw suits us more in club terms (english, fan, young,...) Be it Shaw (I like him more as he is english) or Rodriguez (better Lb atm and cheaper), I think we will have massive upgrade in fullback department.

Just curious, but where will Bvb play all these AMs? They already have Reus, Kuba, Mkhitarjan, Aubameyang and few others who play in three positions...soon Adrian Ramos and potentialy Immobile will arrive. And Firmino, Kagawa linked with Bvb too. Looks like Aubameyang and Reus are leaving. Kuba, Reus and Mkhtaryan are all better than Firmino, unless Reus leaves, Firmino will be bench player. And Im quite sure Reus will leave if Bvb signs Firmino.

I feel brasil players perform completely different than they in clubs. At least most of them. Paulinho plays better there because he has bunch of brasil teammates around, added motivation and specific coach. From Luiz, Paulinho, Gustavo, Oscar, Fred, Neymar even all play better there. They aint wc player, but work fantastic as team. One individual here wouldnt perform as good.

This couldnt be more idiotic...signing u16 kid...the best for him is to stay where he is now.

We have so many young talents...hope we dont fuck up with all of them. With proper development, Pasalic, Traore, Baker, Rlc, Mvg, Lukaku maybe even Atsu, Thorgan, Piazon could become starters. I will be happy if one of them makes it here.

I would think this way; IF Hazard, Oscar and Willian reach top form and be consistent, there is absolutely no need for Reus. If one of those three wont reach that level and will be average at best (like Oscar second half of season), then he will be sold and someone will be bought instead, probably top quality player like Reus.

If we are about to play same defensive football, Moreno has no place to look here. He would be same situation as David Luiz...we need to know what style we play and then buy players that fit the style perfectly. A 21 yo spanish attacking LB is not what Mou wants in his defence. As much Moreno is talented and will probably become next Alves, he simply doesnt suit Mou unless we will play at least bit more open next year. To buy Moreno so that he will stay back every game and defend is waste of his talent...and we all know Mou wouldnt let him roam on wing.

Dzeko wouldnt be a bad choice either...but I doubt city would sell to us.

Modric did play for real last season in pivot too. I would love to have proper Dm and CM ala Alonso in pivot. Unfortunely, neither Matic or Javi are close to how great Alonso was in prime. His long balls were amazing. Javi might be close but he doesnt have that leadership and playmaking ability.

Instead of going after two strikers and potentialy AM, we might just try to sign Costa and Walcott. Walcott can play as striker or winger and would solve many problems here (if he stays fit). Plus he is english.

Well he has to prove a lot. He turned from realy hard working and efficient player into someone who doesnt realy give shit. Wc up or down, he should play as best as he can. Good thing he is young and Mou will either turn him into very good player or sell him for big money.

What for? Why spend another 30-40mio on another DM? Yes he is good, but we already have Matic in that position. Once, I wanted him here. But now we have Nemanja. I would prefer to spend more on Striker, lb and proper allround CM and if any money left on realy quality AM (with option that either Schurrle or Salah leaves). We dont need every player who might be available...

Wonderfull person, shame it didnt work out for him here...he is one of the players that got imediately into our team, fitting perfectly. No one thought it will be so short, but this is football.

I would swap Schurrle with Reus in second. Indeed, Schurrle got into our hearts with his love to the club, but in this case, I would take Reus. He is simply amazing player.

Seeing Wilson having great debut, now I want to see Baker vs Cardiff even more!

Haha though Im realy curious what realy happened there...Real board was certainly unhappy with Jose 'behaviour', but it seems most players still liked him, despite media reports. I remember media saying Jose and Ramos were hating each other but before Jose left, Ramos was crying in his arms...

Football is unpredictable as it can be and its unfair to say that Real is in final because of Carlo, but Jose should still reach final at least once in 3 attempts. I think besides having Bale, Carvajal (for some odd reason Jose didnt replace Arbeloa), Isco as new players, Carlo added calmness into the team, they look less nervous and handle things better. Also change of system into 4:3:3 was great for Di Maria and Modric revelation, also fixing problem of playing CR, Bale and Maria at same time. Deserves some credit for that IMO.

Our defending still has to improve, as long we play more open, we realy dont look like best defence in world. The thing is in best CBs who average 2.5 tackles per game and 2.5 interceptions (roughly), while our CBs Terry and Cahill average just 1 tackle and 1 interception.

If that fine will actualy force Psg to sell first and then buy, I can see small chance if we offer 60m plus...Im sure they will first offload Pastore, Menez, Lavezzi? if required, but they have Ibra and Cavani might not want to play another year on wing... Its either Cavani, Costa or anyone else, as long he solves our striker problems and Im happy.

We have plenty of great talent too, Its our fault if we cant integrate them into first team.
