Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Given the fact defence won't see rotation unless necessary and we have one of the best medical teams in the business, it's a risk worth taking. If we have 8 defenders in our system, 2 would see next to no game time whatsoever.Although having said that, if there's a real opportunity to sign Benat, we should snap him up.Considering Bayern recently snapped BErnat up, our chances to get him are rather slim.That's why Jose said he will include Ake and Christensen in the squad. That will make 2 player for every back 4 position. Sorted.I guess Ake is kinda ready. He had somem impressive cameos and even played some matches in the Europa League. But is Christensen ready, too? Never seen much of him. He will probably not be needed. But Jose tends to loan out the players he will probably not need.The question is. If JOse really considered the possibility of us being in need of a 4th fullback as likely, why the heck should he loan out Bertrand and force himself to rely on the far less experienced Ake then? ACtually i still don't get why Bertrand was loaned out. He is homegrown, so he takes no spot away, is on low wages and does not moan when he does not play. Ergo the Ideal squad player.

Fernando 6,743 Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Rio seemed like a good reporter. Might be like Gary. A player you hate in the field but when it comes to reporting in TV as a professional he is good. Too early to tell but that was good. killer1257 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Term-X 7,892 Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 The vivid description of how he confronted Moratti and told him what he needed fresh after defeat, was the highlight for me.
