stroey 2,525 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I want our rivals to sign top players so i can watch them play more. And play in the best league in the world.I don't want them to, it would damage our title chances. Imagine Cavani+Benatia to City. Vidal+Hummels to United, Khedira+Aurier+Sanchez+Jackson Martinez to Arsenal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petre.ispirescu 4,928 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 What are his strenghts and weaknesses?I might be biased here because I was born in Santiago and I support La "U", but before I start to enumerate his strenghts and weaknesses, you have to understad what kind of player he is.He has played in a 3-3-1-3 formation back in his Universidad de Chile days. When Sampaoli was the coach.-------- GK ----------- CB CB CB ----WB --- DM --- WB------ Charles ----RW --- CF --- LWMarcelo Diaz (Basel) was the DM, Vargas (Valencia) was the RW, Mena (Chile's LB) was the WB and Charles was the midfielder/attacking midfielder. I can name the others, too, but I don't know if you have heard of them.Charles and Marcelo Diaz were the only two central midfielders in that team, and because of Sampaoli's philosophy of ultra attacking football, they had to run up and down the pitch. That's one of his strenghts - monster stamina and work-rate. Also every pass was going through him at that time. He can pick a pass and he is a very humble and intelligent player. If the coach will ask him to run for 95 minutes, he will run for 95, plus one more minute.Also he has a good long shot and he is good at taking penalty kicks. I can't remember him missing a penalty kick.Weaknesses, I don't know - maybe the fact that he is not that tall and he is dominated in the aerial duels. He is in Chile what Zola was in England - everybody loves him. Even the colo colinos. He is a good player, I was expecting him to come to Europe after that magnificent season in 2011. iseah100 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's say decent. Marcelo Diaz was the one who was doing the dirty work.Creativity - as I said, he can pick a pass.Position - DM/CM/AM. He can play in all this positions. I'll choose him over Ramires to partner Matic at any time of the day. I don't know if he can impose as a regular starter in his first season at Chelsea. But one thing I know for sure: he can easily start for Tottenham, ahead the likes of Paulinho, Sandro or Dembele. Paulinho is a poor mans Charles.But notice one thing - I'd only sign him as Mikel's replacement. Or Ramires. iseah100 and killer1257 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will look him up later now!To be honest I would love to see him fullfuling his potential in a good team. But that means week-in, week-out starts and he won't get this in Mourinho's second season, when the pressure is high and trophies are a must.Everton? Tottenham? Easily a starter for those teams.I'd see Charles fitting perfectly in Roma's midfield. Charles - De Rossi - Pjanic. Or Atletico, partnering Gabi in the pivot. Or Wolfburg with Luiz Gustavo and De Bruyne. As I said, I'd take him in a blink as Mikel's replacement. iseah100 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing special.he is much better than cleverley...at least the cleverley from last season he is still young, has a very good technique, leadership and is very dynamic. futhermore he has a good sense in terms of positioning himself. very good signing for them, especially as a back-up with the possibility to develop himself and get better. he has been one of Leverkusens best players last season.

You must know better. Maybe I have this impression because I've only watched him play in those five or six games before Hyypia left the club, when all the team was playing like shit.

I think L'Arse need more than Sanchez...It's a tough one - but on the balance of probability - I would prefer Arse with Sanchez than Pool with Suarez... Thoughts?
