I didnt say just because of german final. Germany started in 2008, now they are going ahead of Spain I think. They have the hard working mentality and will destroy teams in 2014. Too much talent and experience.

Ibra or De Rossi would be old school signing like from the old days with Roman when he was signing established players ala Ballack, Anelka. And guess what? We were pretty sucessful back then and with Mou back, Ibra and De Rossi would be fantastic. Both are still world class players but old enough to give place to Chalobah and Lukaku in 2-3 seasons. Also wouldnt be that expensive, 18 for Ibra and 15 for Rossi. Its a win-win

Our main players of the season were Cech, Luiz, Mata, Hazard and Rambo. The thing Im beggining to ask myself is how is our core so uncomplete? Teams around world have core of 2/3 players and they build the team around them. They are adoptable, leaders, versatile and trust-worthy. Bayern goes with Lahm, Schweini and Ribery as their core. Real goes with Ramos, Alonso and Ronaldo. Barca goes with Xavi, Iniesta and Messi. As I said, we go with Luiz, Mata and Rambo/Hazard. They were very important through past seasons, and according to their importance we should build team AROUND them. Like Bayern did around Schweini, Real around Alonso etc. But our team has very weak core. All of the players have huge potential to be very good. Luiz as defender, Mata as playmaker and Rambo as b2b midfielder. But everyone has extremely weak side too. If you take Schweini or Alonso for example, they are leaders. In true meaning. They will protect team and do the right things. Will Mata or Rambo do that? No. Schweini is versatile, he helps attack and defense. He can pass, tackle even shot. Same goes to Alonso. On other side Mata cant defend. He gets bullied often. Rambo isnt passing master either. Speaking of such, Luiz is even better example. He is great guy, I love him and all, but he is soo error prone. As our main CB, he should be very trust worthy, calm, leader. Like Kompany, Vidic or Terry (used to be). But Luiz has unnormal ball control for defender, however he makes so many mistakes for a main central back. You cant put young defender along him, because Luiz wont watch after him. We have two types of defenders; one leader who sticks back and is very calm (the core cb player). His partner is more free minded. He is faster, more skilled but less trusty. In our case our Core cb is Luiz who is free minded and that is huge problem for us. Mata presents great player, but he makes our team unable to play 4:3:3. Rambo cant control midfield simple as that. Thing is that our core of team is soo uncomplete that we will have to change many things.

We should be looking for some german talent. They are surely equal to spanish talents now. More hard working what we need.

As Klopp said that nowdays football is all about working as a team. He made eleven players not just to be friends but also to defend together and attack together. All 11 must know how to defend and how to attack. Same goes for Bayern. That is why they destroyed Barca and Real. If we wont have team work and striker who wont work hard and Mata, Hazard etc who wont track back, we wont see win against Bayern/Bvb for quite some time.

Sanchez said yesterday that he will stay in barca for at least one more year...

Considering that Bvb players realy understand each other and play as team, you would exect from Gotze or Lewa some more respect and loyalty. Bvb is now huge club with regular CL and very strong team, they will be getting trophies regulary. Yesterday Gotze was visibly sad that Bvb lost and one can wonder what can Bayern offer that Bvb cant??

Bayern are fucking cunts. After all this shit with stealing Gotze and now Lewa, i realy wish Bvb would win and shut Bayerns mouth.

why RLC??? He was our most promising player tonight...

we played 70 games ffs. who the fuck cares about this but city ?!

depressing to watch...just a friendly but still....

well done Luiz. Show them we aint pussies...

yaya CUNT!

City playing like its cup final lol...must be pissed after wigan took them Fa cup...

wat was dat?

If we go for young players, we have Romeu, Chalobah. No need to buy others youth. De Rossi wont harm our youth and he offers steel and exp in midfield. --- Thiago? HELL NO! IF HE BECOMES GOOD HE WILL RETURN TO BARCA 100%.

In: De Rossi (15), Modric (25), Rooney (25), Schurrle (20), Papadopoulos (18) Shaw (next year) --- KDB, Lukaku, Pva (return) Out: Torres (10), Malouda, Benayoun, Marin (5), Ferreira, Essien (10) Loan RLC, Chalobah, Ake, Feruz, T.Hazard to PL clubs

Haha Micah become realy fat

Midfield of RLC-Chalobah-Ake Would be sooo awesome!!!

I dont care if we lost, it was friendly and we had like 70 games this season. But after 3:0 up? Thats just bad.

If Lewa, Falcao and Cavani reports are true, we MUST go after Rooney/Jovetic. Please no Higuain/Gomez/Yilmaz

He is average in most games, but his best games were for Portugal and he was superb on some big games. Very unconsistent and I would prefer Cole for another year and then Shaw.

I like calculating too, but this is chelsea; you can add another 30mio extra to those 70mio. Besides I should congratulate you for making first 11 without a single english player. English club with no important home players. Cheers!

Khedira and Lamps is WAAAY too slow midfield. If you would put Vidal in (with Lamps geting replaced by Oscar eventualy), that would be awesome.

But thing is Madrid had all to play 4:2:3:1. Our whole team bar Mata would fit more in 4:3:3..if Mou will want to play 4:3:3, Mata is first to be dissapointed...
