I really don't see how this would be so. Everton's terms pretty much stops this happening because we will receive a sell on fee. I think what has happened is that he doesn't want to be a squad player down the pecking order and has asked to go. He had big doubts about rejoining but given the...

I would have loved to have seen him in the premiership but in a way it would be wrong if he played somewhere else.

He has said he wants to be a one club man. If Spurs continue on like this with a new stadium then he won't need to move. I think there's far more chance Dele Alli will go there and Barkley will replace him at Spurs.

And Paul Scholes would have destroyed Spain. Unfortunately Sandro is not Xavi. lol

Deserve has nothing to do with it. He's the only winger in the team with any pace. At the moment teams can push up because there's no threat behind and this crowds the space for Messi. He also stretches the width of the pitch. Plus he's no poorer than Denis, Gomes, Pacman etc Some may be a...

Often the case. He might not be the greatest player but Barca need the pace and width Deulofeu gives.

If he can't get into that Everton team he must just not be very good and frankly so far he has looked awful but hopefully he will improve. Nothing to do with going to England.

I think he had already improved a lot since he joined.

Arnaiz was very impressive. Worth a go in the league.

That was a crazy assist. Not many are capable of that.

Should be an interesting formation. 4-0-6 :-)

He should be starting instead of Iniesta. There I said it.

I think he's playing a 442 to get Iniesta into the team. Iniesta can't defend and can't play on the wing so Barca are left having to play this lopsided formation. Even when Dembele is back I suspect he will still play a 442 in the big games.

I guess Barca have won nothing too? lol It hasn't worked playing Messi as part of a team. They should play the same as Barca are doing. Call him a false 9 or whatever but he needs to be the focus point in the centre. As long as he has the freedom to operate in the centre with good players...

I might stick some money on Argentina. Messi is in the form of his life this season and I think with more time especially time in training Sampaoli will mould Argentina into a team. Playing with Messi is completely different than playing in another team because and we see it with Barca too...

Players only have power if their contracts are down to 2 or possibly 3 years. There's very little they can do otherwise including downing tools. However that's a separate debate to whether a club should keep a player indefinitely when they want a move. If Barca still want Couthinho they will...

Chelsea beating and dominating Atletico should be another wakeup call. I'm beginning to think that there should be just one European league. It would leave European football looking a bit like the American model of having major and minor leagues and I have no idea how promotion and relegation...

Maybe that's why he played rubbish in his last game. He knew this video was about to be released. Time to find new friends.

Kante was fantastic for Leicester. He lead pretty much all of the league's stats for defensive players (Gueye was 2nd in all of them playing for relegated Villa btw) however for Chelsea while he was still as good a player he wasn't as important in most games. De Gea plays for one of the top...

You are right. It's a black box. I have no idea how simple or how complicated it is. All we can do is judge the results it produces. But you are comparing apples to oranges. Kante is a defensive midfielder. The only player who plays roughly his position who is higher (only 2 places) is Gueye...
