Torres was very good tonight. His shooting wasnt best, but his link up and holding the ball was great. Whole team bar Moses and Hazard was realy good.

Great game however the possesion stats (althrough they dont mean nothing) must go to our advantage eventualy. If you have ball you dictate tempo and control game. Also you are not that tired. We have Mata and Hazard type of players, this tells enough how much possesion we should have. LUiz was outstanding, Terry for double and that Mikel performance was sublime to

You do know that when Chelsea is involved price goes up for 10mio? Owner of player knows we have money and they will want most of it. Porto who is putting prices up even further (especualy for Chelsea, Rm,...) will sell Moutinho (their best current player) for 20mio. Same money as we will pay for Schurle? If you realy belive we could get Moutinho for 20mio lol, spurs might, but we are not spurs are we? We would pay 20mio for Schurle (I believe you think he might come here for 12mio) and he is not half the player Moutinho is. BUt ok it your thinking... Ps: I dont play Fm...I do fifa however...

He might go to Monaco...

Very raw but also strong DM diamond. If he improves, he will be one hell of a DM. Hopefuly he wont go same way as Mvila.

FOrgot about Marcelo. Yes he was brilliant so far, but had problems with injuries this season.

Lol when we buy Cavani for 35mio and Moutinho for 20 I will drive you all the way from brasil to SB to watch them play. Just the two of them will cost around 80mio. Realise this is 2013 and football prices are inflated like hell. 1.) Matic is not finished product but he would be better than Mikel. 2.) Ok he is not that brilliant but 15mio is not too much. Howedes/Papadopoulos/... will cost 20mio plus. 3, 4.) You seriously dislike Dortmund dont you? Lewandowski and Gundogan are superb players. Arguably better than any brasilian player atm bar Thiago Silva. 5.) Offer him to Anzhi and see the magic. 6.) I forgot that 7.) Your simulation has better players indeed, but that wont be cheaper than 100mio+

Most reasonable would be something like Schurle (20mio), Matic (18mio), Ogbonna (15mio), Gundogan (20mio plus Marin), Lewandowski (20mio plus Kdb loan) Torres (10), Mikel (17mio), Malouda, Benayoun (3mio) --- 90mio out, 30mio in. 60mio spend. 5 plyers. With that we would basicaly cover every position but LB for next 8 years. Lot of players and will never happen, but certainly better than Falcao or Cavani for 50 or Moutinho for 30mio alone.

At first Schurle looked like realy bad signing, but now I like him lot more. He was playing much better in NT last years than after Wc, but on club level he improved his overall play. Will complement Hazard and Mata and add something new to the team.

Mister Geoffrey Kondogbia, 20yrs old, 188cm tall, French DM who plays for Sevilla is fast becoming one of their best players. If we are going after DM, this guy wouldnt be bad choice at all. Quite cheap, but there are reports that he might go to Real in the summer. His contract expires in 2014, so...

Player in pivot needs to be mentaly and physicaly strong, leader and used to play there. Oscar is neither of that now so you cant count him to play dlp next year or we might have very weak midfield again...

I never saw Witsel as DM. He is playing along Dembele/Fellaini in belgium, Denisev in zenit and played with Javi Garcia at Benfica. He always looked like CM who needs a dm along him to cover up. But he can defend too, thats for sure. Similar to Xabi who needs Khedira along. Thats why I mentioned Gundogan. He is great at intercepting and tracking back, real worker. Witsel is ball winner too and both would complement each other perfect. For example United have Carrick-Cleverley in pivot and you can see how fantastic their attack support is. But at same time their defence doesnt realy hurt.

Y U no mention Gundogan? Guy is the best possible option to our team. He is both way midfielder, hard worker not to mention that he will surely reach Schweini level in few years. Him and Witsel wouldnt be bad though but unrealistic...

YEs but the problem is with Oscar then, also who will be partner to Modric for example?

This one is bugging me for a while now. We sure have lot of creativity in Mazacar, but besides numerous assists and passes none of them actualy plays role to just support attack and deliver ball to striker. Snchweini in Bayern, Gundogan at Bvb, Alonso in Real, Carrick in manu, Gerrard in Lpool. This players are what we desperately need in our team. Mata and Hazard are more finishers rather distributors of the ball to attack from midfield. Both posses dribbling, flair etc but both fail when you need regular crosses in middle. When opponent closes all ways and we cant beat that wall Mata and Hazard are useless. Sure in all those 100 passes they will probably send one to Ba (or whoever) who will then score, but they are realy furious to watch in such games like City last time. Mata has the ball, looks like creator of our team but he is no where near to be leader when comes to big matches vs better teams. Neither is Oscar. The reason why we bought him I will never understand. He is superb talent, but he is #10. We tried to buy Modric who is dlp and we signed Oscar who is not even close to dlp (there were guys that knew him saying how great he will fit in our pivot, yeah sure...). I dont see Mazacar playing together and beating everyone. Either the formation or lack of other player (striker, dlp, defence) but that wont work. Another thing are full backs. I wont speak of LB, Cole is old and Ryan needs some time (he was good so far), but Azpi? He looks like great defender with big inconsistency (like most of young defenders) but his crossing is awful. Bosingwa 2.0. Sorry but just watch his crossing when we are in need for a goal. He always loses ball or sends it over the line behind ball. When comes to our team, I see soo many problems. We dont have proper striker, we dont have proper wingers, we dont have consistent defence, we dont have all round full backs, we dont have steel in players, we dont have consistency, we dont have long shot takers, we dont have players in their prime (either our players are too old and past best like Terry, Cole, or young like Mazacar, Azpi,...). We dont have hard workers, we dont have formation, we dont have proper board and coach, we dont have leaders on pitch. We dont have depth. We dont have long ball passers. We lack crossers. We lack deep playmakers, we lack fighting dm, we lack support to strikers in big games. We lack strenght in Mata. What we have is talent. God help us that they reach potential or else...

People say we should look for CHEAP young players, now we have a very good one, we should sell him? Yeah right! We need delivery guy in midfield/wings and Kdb is exactly that. I wouldnt swap him + money for Schurle or Lewa. Yes they are both fantastic players and all, but we should loan Kdb or not. Selling him should not be an option. If there is a player I would exchange Kdb is Gundogan. Exactly what we need in midfield.

Our players need to grow some balls. Including Mata. Its ok to be nice and all, but he and co need to start fight back. Dont just get bullied and do nothing... Besides unconsistency, lack of strenght, mentality are our main problems in current team...

We played shit all the way until Ba scored. City deserved to win. We need to start play games in beggining, not in second half when we are behind... Ref was cunt to I agree, so were Aguero, Yaya and Kompany, but its football and if we started playing from 1st minute we might won. Yaya destroyed us once again, embarrasing defending. Also: I dont see the point of having Oscar in this team anymore. Mata and Oscar cant play together long term, they are too similar in playstyle, but both are extremely weak. You have short players too, but they are quite strong like Messi, Aguero or Lucas. Oscar and Mata are soooo weak it pisses me off when City bullies our team... Oscar...he has some great potential and skill, but he will never be pivot or Lampard type of player. He is not engine and is average when on pressure. I dont see him play together with Mata, ever. Unless we move to La liga where you dont need much power at all. I like Oscar realy much but he just keeps the ball, makes some nice skill but then its over...I realy dont ser what part will he play in this team...either in 4:3:3 or 4:2:3:1 we need typical winger. Schurle or Ayew or someone else...shooting from distance and fast direct dribbling based on pace and power rather skill is what we need. We have plenty of ball wankers, we need distributors who make game faster...I hope we sign Mou and let him fix this mess.

I know you want to play for us, so Kompany, thanks for clearing that ball!

If Silva wont play, Milner will. And he is much stronger player than Silva. Could give us even more problems... We should play Terry and Iva in center plus Luiz and Mikel in double pivot. Rambo is a player who should come in second half if w will be losing. His pace will give us some speed in game.

In all rightfullnes, Kompany is too nice to play at City...would go absolutely crazy if we would get him.

Or in system of midfield three along with Mata and Hazard.

Lewa was last years Buli best player, yet someone says he is average overrated player? Ok...what?! He made fantastic cross for winner vs Malaga and superb finish in same game. He scores practicaly every game, including 5 in CL against the likes of Real too. He scored vs Bayern last season several times, this season too. How the fuck can someone say he has bad decision making or goes missing in big matches? Romper; saying that Neymar is brilliant talent one who is already world beater (but in fact he is extremely overrated) and then saying that Lewa is just average makes it soo wrong. You good poster, but this is unbelievable...

Mavuba wouldnt be good in Pl because of his height? MAKELELE. All I need to say...

Dortmund is in semis of CL, big thanks to this guy. So I would say as long as he scores and shit he would be world class striker here. He is also 24 and strikers get that goal touch in later years - 25+
