    CL | Round 1: FC Barcelona - Juventus 3-0

    Xavi was always going to be impossible to replace.

    Denis Suarez

    I think he should be given the chance to be backup for Iniesta and even start many games given Iniesta's age. Not sure he suits the wing. As others have said his productivity isn't great.

    7 - Philippe Coutinho - V1

    Maybe they missed out on their main targets.

    7 - Philippe Coutinho - V1

    As an Everton fan it pains me to say it but if they sign Van Dijk they could be a dark horse for the premiership and may even do well in Europe. I'm not sure Coutinho should go. Klopp is a fantastic manager unlike Koeman.

    7 - Philippe Coutinho - V1

    It had nothing to do with Neymar. If anything Neymar was a steal in this climate. Basically if I was a European club I would be looking at every player around the relative price range who hasn't had his release clause updated within the last 12 months. I bet there's lots of other steals...

    Manuel Lanzini

    I'm a big fan of this player. I wanted us to go for him and to make him our no 1 target this summer but he doesn't fit the profile Koeman tends to prefer.

    Antoine Griezmann

    I wasn't aware his release clause dropped but it still doesn't change the premise. Ultimately Griezmann should be Barca's No 1 target even if that means they have to wait. If they have to give A Madrid a few extra million so he's available for the CL this year then that makes sense too. Simply...

    Antoine Griezmann

    Rakitic, Iniesta, Busquets, Seri Roberto and Denis Suarez is not still fucked. I hate to break it to you but 200m is about what an elite player costs today. I'll put things in perspective (we) Everton just paid £45m for an almost 28 year old Gylfi Sigurdsson. 2 or 3 years ago he would have been...

    Antoine Griezmann

    If the deal is done now it could be part of the deal that A Madrid agree not to play him.

    Antoine Griezmann

    I would try and do a deal with Madrid to give them the entire 200m for Griezmann in January. This would allow them to replace him with Costa who Chelsea may price out of a move without the extra money. Basically swapping Griezmann for Costa + 150m isn't bad business for Madrid. The other...

    Gerard Deulofeu

    Some players get it more. Messi gives the ball away and misses loads of chances as do all players. I prefer to judge players on what they create and I never understand why players like Deulofeu get so harshly judged even when they are very productive. Ultimately the point is to score goals.

    Gerard Deulofeu

    Stamina is the main reason for a lot of people why he never succeeded at Everton. I agree he did look very tired around the 55 min mark. Personally I'm not sure. He did work very hard without the ball in that game. There's a difference between running and sprinting and Deulofeu is lightning...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v5

    Plus Messi is now 30. If Barca don't spend the money this window how many more years do people think Messi has. I wouldn't be surprised if Messi wanted to leave if that happened.

    Gerard Deulofeu

    Good to see him actually taking on Ramos when he was 1 vs 1. He actually did quite well but it was good defending.

    Spanish SuperCopa: Real Madrid - FC Barcelona (5-1)

    You may have a point with Marcelo although I'm a huge fan of Alba.

    Spanish SuperCopa: Real Madrid - FC Barcelona (5-1)

    Messi, Busquets, Alba and Ter Stegen. I still think Iniesta is fantastic but realistically not any more. Suarez looks a shadow of himself.

    Sergi Roberto

    Try being an Everton fan for the last 25 years. :-)

    Gerard Deulofeu

    Because he was a cheap squad player to play against fodder and give one of MSN a rest. Not to replace Neymar in the classico.

    Gerard Deulofeu

    He didn't even have the confidence of Iniesta and Suarez in the last game. That must be pretty difficult situation to be in.

    Christian Eriksen

    Coutinho has also played with Suarez so there would be less trouble integrating him with the team. No one can replace Neymar but Coutinho is a good player and probably the best available.
