"player has no signifficant weaknesses" Good one, whoscored.

No. Barcelona sold Traoré to Aston Villa. If they had a buy back option they lost it when the lad was sold to Boro.

So? Serie A is not an U15 girl league either. Yes, used to be the Premier League was a very tough league, but now every league is full with short, creative players, every PL-team is filled with South-Americans..

He played LCB at Fiorentina, even this season.

You forgot Steve Sidwell.

Fonte handed a transfer request too so we can go on this way.

Well yeah, it's possible. But what if gets better? At least FIFA is trying to shake things up.

I think it's a good idea. It might not work but things need to be shaken up. World Cups and Euro Cups are boring as fuck, FIFA and UEFA need to come up with ideas. If this 48 teans WC doesnt work out then something else.

Still it was Conte's decision to offload Kenedy and Baba Rahman and sign a new player. Of course it was impossible to buy everyone from his wishlist(Romagnoli) especially without Champions Leauge, but we signed Alonso after Conte worked with the squad for 8 weeks.

Well, Conte didn't even meet the squad before we signed Michy, so I highly doubt he insisted to buy him. He spoke to Kanté on phone and he signed Alonso bc Marcos was a fit to his system.

Alonso is a good soldier. Not a world class but definetly a player we can use in the squad. Llorente would be like him too. Llorente could be a dangerous weapon. If we have to score and the other team parks the bus he can go in the box and the wingers can feed him with crosses. Also, if we have to protect the score he can come in and help a lot at corners.

Yeah because having 4 golden ball winners in the squad is always a winner team - see that horrible Real Madrid 12-13 years ago. With Alonso we won 13 games straight and hardly ever conceded goals. Llorente would be a backup striker - why not? He scored some goals at Swansea, he is a good player and very tall. By the way, Conte was the one who called Kanté and convinced him to join Chelsea.

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.
