that applies for the attack and midfield for me because we have a philosophy of attacking football, but the defense not so much as long as they do the job and contribute to the possession game. remember benatia is only cheap now because it's late in the window, he wants out and only bayern are...

i think he would fit in but maybe the board didn't? or lucho? who knows. still people will sit and whine (not you necessarily) that benatia wasn't signed without acknowledging that the defense has improved in terms of players. if lucho gets the tactics right our defense will be good enough.

bertus the main point i'm trying to make is that ok we didn't get him, but what we did get isn't bad at all, but actually good. mathieu and verm fit nicely and for sure mathieu has the quality, verm fits in nicely in terms of style and he has the chance to compete and maybe even win a starting...

you need players that fit the team and have the right quality. for example mathieu. would you want us to sign mandzukic for example? no because he is totally unsuited to our team. would you sign douglas? no because he is shit. you need both to make a good signing. eg rakitic, suarez, mathieu...

benatia is like puyol now? come on. he is a good modern centre back who played very well last year, but you're all acting like we missed out on beckenbauer.

haha. i disagree because i think thomas can be good for us. douglas will never be.

i don't agree man. i honestly think all of our transfers have been good so far. my only problem is that we still have the clowns alves and song and didn't get a proper right back (douglas is not my idea of a good right back).

in today's market its a good price. 29 isn't even old...

also, the defense wasn't even the major problem last season. (in addition to the shit atmosphere in the team) it was our inability to break buses and the fact we had no pressing and shape when we lost the ball to counters. look how the mighty bayern who everyone here can't get enough of did...

not every player, i can name several who we bought who didn't fit. but those two fit the bill. i'm not really convinced with verm's quality but he is just there as a backup so it's not serious. he will fit in like a glove in the system though, and he IS capable of good performances, so if he...

people complain about our centre backs and not buying a superstar but the fact is that mathieu is good enough, all that's needed is to sort out our defensive tactics. douglas on the other hand is not good enough no matter how well coached the team is.

mathieu isn't injury prone at all. also our squad is really good apart from the right back position. better than city or chelsea.

we don't need him. our front three is literally perfect in terms of quality, variety and depth.

come on dude, reus? literally the last player we need.

why is benatia being treated like he will instantly make us champions league winners? if you know football you know our problem defensively was positioning and pressing, and the fact we needed a guy who is better in the air. we went ahead and bought two centre backs that are barca profile, quick...

the old/injury prone argument is bullshit.

even bayern are only buying him because javi martinez is injured.

we already got some centre backs. from what i've seen, mathieu will be good for us. now please stop whining.

If there's one thing Pep can do is fuck up with too many experiments, let's hope he does it this season.

It's a photoshop obviously.
