Juve plays in 3-5-2. With Dybala and Higuain on board I doubt they can get Sanchez.

He's been out of the map recently but I have seen him playing for Wolfsburg, Lille, Denmark, Roma and Palermo. Not horrible but nothing great either. Cahill, Azpi and Luiz are easily better than him and we also have Zouma, Christensen, Aké. Also, there are players out there like Virgil and De Vrij.. I wouldn't turn to Kjaer.

141 matches 47 goals 37 assists I wouldn't call this a massive failure.

Understandable.. Real can't sign anyone in January and Bale is injured for a couple of more weeks. James could be sold for good money next summer too, I think Real Madrid have no reason to let him go next month as they can't find a proper replacement.

How is age relevant? Donnarumma has been the no1 GK for Milan for a year and doing fine. Turnbull was a twat at the age of 30.. Courtois and Casillas were great at the age of 18-19 and played for Real and Atleti.

He is a very good player, I like him a lot, but he won't have a spot if we stick with the 3-4-3. AC Milan is about to be bought by a Chinese investments group, so they have money. 10-15 million fee and each parties(Marko and the two clubs) benefits.

This one was intentional for sure, but I'm still not sure about the one against Torino. But whatever, it doesn't make any difference. It was a goal, it counted, no need to explain it.

I'm not sure if it was intentional Great player though, but I wouldn't go for him, there are better options. He's been playing well since Milik injured but generally I don't think that he is much better than Senor Rodrigez.

Verratti is very good but I wonder if he is a fit for us. Isn't he too short for the team? We already have Kanté, Hazard and Pedro who are all really really short and there's Azpilicueta and Moses who didn't reach 180cm either. Matic's headers are important at corners and free kicks. Verratti is obviously better than him but with Kanté and Verratti in the midfield wouldn't we have a serious lack of tall and strong players? It would be annoying to concede goals from corners all the time.

Are you talking about Manchester United that let Pogba go for free and bought back for 120 million? Also, do you really think City treats their young players that well? Interesting.. We give young players a chance. We sign them, they can train in an outsanding training centre with the best coaches in the world among the best young players in the world. When they reach the age of 18-19, we find them loan clubs to introduce them to pro footbal. From now on, it's up to them. Of course not every loan spell works out, but like I said, real talents like KDB, Christensen, Lukaku and Thibaut will prove if they good enough or not.

Also, Dier is not even homegrown.. He is like the one fucking English player that is not HG

Good thing he can't play against us next week

He is 20 years old. How on earth is he ruined? He had one loan spell, he showed that he is good enough for LaLiga, he had some outstanding matches. Now it looks like we shouldn't force Betis, we'll find another team for him, he will shine there. The board failed again with it's loan strategy? Name a few players that played poorly at loan spells then became world class players when we sold them? Real talents prove themselves, no matter what. Christensen, Lukaku, De Bruyne or Courtois made an instant impact out on loan. I don't think it's our loan systems failure that McEachran, Di Santo, Van Aanholt or Kakuta couldn't reach the top level.

First, I wouldn't take him. He is a good player but I'd rather sign Van Dijk or De Vrij and recall Christensen and Aké. Andy and Nathan are both able to play in the midfield and in the defense, just like Dier. Second, Spurs would never sell him to Chelsea. They rejected our offer for Modric then sold him to Madrid for a way worse offer, they don't want to do business with their rivals.

He is leaving for Napoli or he stays. Very very good player but we shouldn't go for him with Costa and Batshuayi on board.

It's his first season at professional level(lets not count that two match for Chelsea las campaign), we sent him on loan to gain experience. Now he experienced what is it like to score goals every game and be the star of this team and now he know what is it like not to score goals for weeks when everybody expects you to. Hopefully he will profit from this experience. It looks like he kept on working hard and smiling and last weekend he scored again.

Why has he only played 280 minutes in La Liga this year? Was he injured or something?

If we did so we wouldn't have Moses right now.

Ivanovic lol

I haven't seen him play that much, I don't know if he could learn that role. Is he doing well on the right wing at Bayer?

Pedro and Hazard are not really wingers in this formation, more like left and right attacking midfielders. They tend to move free around the opponents third. Remember Hazard's second goal against Everton: Pedro and him were both on the right wing. Also, when Pedro scored against Everton and Spurs he was in the middle of the court, not on the right or left wing. I think James would enjoy this free, creative role too. I still prefer Payet though.

Aké should play for Chelsea next year for sure. He could play as RCB, LCB, DM and LWB. Definetly a must have player.

<3

I watched him a few times at Elche and Monaco and I saw him today, he is a good player, but not really a midfielder we need in our current position.

Could he be an alternative to Hazard/Pedro or he is a central attacker only?
