petre.ispirescu 4,928 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Chelsea should end with this FFP bullshit and start act properly. It is a complete joke. City's never been on profit since the Arabs took over, yet they're able to spend big w/o caring about anything. Wasn't FFP about being on profit on the course of 3 years, otherwise you're out of Champions League?? This summer they're on minus £135m yet again (£160m in arrivals, KDB included, £35m in departures). Would not mind Jose going on the ultimate rant in the next press conference and raise some questions to the footballing world and show what a complete mockery this FFP is. This shit has to stop at some point - you either let all the clubs spend big, or you start knocking out of Champions League those who can't even be £1 on profit on the course of one fucking transfer window. Can't wait for the later of Champions League when City get thumped by Barcelona or Bayern. European minnows always and forever. These frauds can invest billions, they'll never get a sniff at that trophy. Liuxas 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obiwan92 217 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Honestly, this could be the thing to get our board to say **** it, and just splash a high fee on Pogba. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Styles 9,790 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Fair enough, I was more thinking to the standard defensive work, I mean Azpi gets a lot of stick for not being brilliant going forward despite being as good as there is for pure defending yet if the wingers are questioned about their tracking back people scoff and are like why should they need to their attackers.If we had a proactive defence that would ease the work-load on the attacking players as they'd have less ground to cover. At present they are running more or less the entire length of the field constantly to track back and then go forward. Azpi is the only defender in the starting 11 that would be great in a proactive defence.The reason we look so disjointed is because our team doesn't function as a unit.

Tomo 21,751 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Sometime if they are good enough yeah. Messi and Neymar do hardly any tracking back at all. While KDB might not be that good yet binning him off after a few games purely because he refused to follow your defensive instruction completely is unacceptable.They do a fair bit of pressing when required.The only player that has a complete free card when the opponents in possession is Ronaldo, and word is Benitez isn't happy and wants that to change, which will be easier said than done with the power Ronaldo has there.

People who say that are bandwaggoning and haven't seen him that much. He runs most at the NT by far and did the same in the belgian league and in the Bundesliga. Year after year after year. I fear his supposed lack of defensive work isn't what did him here at all. He wanted to be a regular without proving himself. Whole different thing and we blues tend to confuse the two due to media and ... zolayes, Stats, Blue_Fox_ and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nadavTKL 1,787 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Yet Chelsea can't buy Pogba.Pogba was City's number one target this summer. Also Barcelona's.Pogba is a much, much complicated issue and a much more desired player in Europe. City didnt really had any competition for KDB.
