If Valverde is the new coach we'll probably play with his 4-2-3-1 formation which will let Messi play in the middle behind Suarez and just in front of Busquets and Rakitic. It'd be Neymar on the left and a new signing on the right.

Don't get me wrong, I think Koke is great, but I disagree about what the team needs. The rumours about Valverde taking over, plus Messi wanting to play in the middle, plus Rakitic signing a new long term contract, to me signals playing with Valverde's favoured 4-2-3-1 formation next season...

Or we could show some faith in our own 19 year old and give Aleñá plenty of playing time and eventually we could have our very own catalan Koke.

Marc-Andre ter Statue strikes again.

Dortmund 2-3 Monaco. Ousmane with one goal, Kylian with two.

Seems like a great athlete. I don't know if he's a great footballer yet though.

Well if we do, I'll just be happy we're not chasing some over the hill garbage from Arsenal like Vermaelen. I was terrified we were going to put in a bid for Mertesacker for a while there.

Yeah, I'm leaning that way too now. I like both but Lemos displays a disturbing propensity for positional errors. As could Sanchez to be fair. He has better pass completion stats than Lemos, is better in the air, has scored just as many goals this season, looks faster, and is a year younger...

I'm going to say Carvajal. I think Ricardo Pereira has a lot of potential though.

So, good. I hope we keep scouting Ligue 1 for talent, and I don't just mean impossible PSG players, or expensive Monaco players.

Scored a nice goal against AZ the other day. MFWIF8vkKcs And here's his performance from the whole match. moN1OmQ53TI

Great free kick, but wasn't he at fault for Eibar's first goal?

Not 25 million, just 25 euros, which is the maximum we should pay for the little douche.

I think he's far better in midfield than as a fullback.

So because things didn't work out for us with French players like Blanc, Dugarry, Dehu, Petit, Christanval, etc, we should have never signed Guily, Abidal, or Umtiti? Okay, got it!

Sounds needlessly complex.

What? Why?

These two French teenagers seem to have the world at their feet. There's an incredible buzz around both of them, and it seems to be only a matter of time before they're playing for some of the giants of the game. But which of them do you think will develop into the better player? tlxXGF8EDf8

Reminds me of the sort of things people were saying last year about Denis but it hasn't worked out for him or us yet. Anyway, good performance from Gerard against France. sR6LOrL2Dlk
