🇦🇷 Willy Caballero

[LAM09 7,056]

Yeah, best friend is from Argentina & a huge River fan so we watch games together often. He has been in insane form since January.

Time for him to deliver

It's all on Messi, He hates Icardi (arguably the best pure striker, maybe second after Kane, in the world today), so Icardi doesn't even make the squad. Messi also has said before that Dybala and and himself play exact same way/position (bollocks) so again, blocked. I detest Ronaldo, but at least he performs on the big stages with regularity. CR7 has even worse surrounding teammates too, although Argentina's back 4 are truly a joke. Otamendi is most overrated centre back on the planet with possible exception of the Jérôme Boateng of last 2 years (was a BEAST before that, Otamendi always was shit). John Stones for 3rd. Pep needs to get help back there if they want to win the CL. I am shocked he has not splashed the cash on Marquinhos and/or my favourite for us, Koulibaly (as City WOULD pay the £80 or 90m it will take to prise him away from De Laurentiis, and we never will ).

You cannot bring  messi ,icardi,higuain, dybala and aguero to the team. Way too many strikers. Messi is in. Now you pick 3 or those 4. If you said leaves aguero, aguero has been one of the best striker in epl for years. Then leave Higuain, higuain is their only target man, sometimes you need that kind of player. Then you say leave dybala, dybala can provide some magic.

You honestly say that Icardi is not a target man? He is a textbook number 9. Dybala is also a textbook secondary striker, the only one in the world you might argue who is better at that position is Roberto Firmino from LPool, due to his amazing trackback play. Surely a creative, expansive coach could find a way to have Messi, Dybala and Icardi work together as a lethal unit. I am not saying you are wrong at all, just positing that a system could be put into place where all three could flourish. I simply do not believe it couldn't.

Argentina went out, and played poorly overall, IMHO, mainly due to a horrific back four and goalkeepers. Otamendi is (with strong competition from a year plus plummeting Jerome Boateng) arguably the most overrated centre back in major world football. Gabriel Mercado, Nicolás Tagliafico, Cristian Ansaldi, Federico Fazio, Marcos Acuña, Marcos Rojo were and are also hardly the quality upon which World Cup's are won.

When is he back fro, WC break? Was wondering why he wasn't going to Oz

[Magic Lamps 11,692]

He spared us a humiliation which might have already knocked on Sarri today so kudos and credit where its due. Some remarkable saves

Easier to write him off when he makes the odd mistake rather than saving us from an embarrassment today.

[Magic Lamps 11,692]

Credit where its due, world class save vs Eriksen on that uncalled offside chance they had at 0-0

Very pleased with his performance. Didn't miss Kepa at all other than his distribution perhaps, but the main thing with Willy is that he had no trademark WTF moments and kept it simple. Feel Willy deserves to play a bit more than he has this season. Happy with both our GK options.

[Fulham Broadway 17,315]

Kept himself in good shape for 38. Better athlete than Kepa, but agree with Manpe pleased with both our options atm

He did well when called upon but thank god Spurs were hopeless going forward.

Yep, and get ready for a boring summer 20 window cause we wont make it to cl next year..

[Special Juan 28,141]

Drinkwater might renew next

[MoroccanBlue 5,382]

These next couple months will be head banging. 

[Jase 43,479]

Even if we do not have the transfer ban hanging over our heads, would still have expected the club to renew Caballero's contract anyway. Otherwise, would be a waste of time and money trying to hunt for a backup keeper. Caballero still decent enough to play that role.

At Bulka's expense; he really looked promising in preseason, so it's a shame nothing materialised.

But if rumours are true Bulka refused to sign a new contract and is leaving anyway.
