James Martinez will be worth every cent.

Don't forget that the pitches are far better today than the 80s too. It's very difficult to judge players from different eras but what you can do is judge them against their peers. Maradona for me stood out from his era more than any other player.

I never saw Pele but those that did like my dad still think he was the greatest and you can't argue with his record. Messi is a fantastic player so saying he won't go down as the greatest isn't hating on him it's just my oppion from being able to watch both him and Messi play. As for different...

"When you think of Maradona, you think of his goal against England. You think of the images of him lifting the World Cup. Even if you never lived in his era, that’s what the world around you has fed you. The idea of a perfect player who won on his own. The idea of the mythical God-figure who...

What's that supposed to mean? He has 5 goals and 2 assists so far in this world cup. Messi has 4 and the less said about Ronaldo's world cup the better. Now I still think Messi will get the golden boot but James has already put himself up there. Ultimately you can have the most amazing club...

Looks like Everton are in the hunt for him although I hope we buy him instead of loaning.

You're point was that the only reason you can imagine me preferring Barkley to Sterling must be because of the color of his skin and that therefore I must be racist. Don't hide behind all that victimization crap All that shows is your bigotry. If you really want to see just a recent...

I suspect he'll start banging them in for another club. Chelsea is a strikers graveyard. Costa will be the same.

@ammarfcb - I think you're the one showing how racist you are not me. btw - Barkley is a quarter Nigerian not as if that matters.

I think Barkely is better but Sterling is a class act. They both should be starting and Ox too and then Rooney or Sturrige up front. Personally I would still play Rooney over Sturridge. And that front four would give England a chance against anyone.

I thought it was a promising debut. Far less selfish than he ever was at Everton so maybe the argument he won't be at Barca due to their quality has a bit of weight. Or maybe he learnt he can't win a game by himself, if so he migh get a lot of game time next season. He still has to work on his...

On the issue of playing just on the wing and hugging the touch line. Him and Mirallas where both asked to play like that to stretch the pitch and give us width. I don't think you can judge Deulofeu on that alone. Personally I thought he always looked more dangerous on the left or even the few...

I would have loved to see him for another season playing for us and I still don't think he's ready but I wish him all the best and hope to be proved wrong. I'll always remember that game against Stoke where he absolutely tore them apart and looked a real player. It was a shame we didn't see the...

True but I don't think we've seen the best of Bale yet especially earlier in the season. And honestly I thought R. Madrid where a bit unlucky in the 2nd league game. Up to the sending off I thought Madrid where the better team but that was just my oppinion. It was a fantastic game though. Oh...

Lol - Alba is quick. I agree "found out" was too strong and that team was the greatest but that's sort of my point. Without those players in that form Barca need to adapt plus even that team did loose goals on the counter and a game against the current Real team with Bale and Ronaldo would...

You have misunderstood. I didn't say you needed better wingers or to press more. I'm saying that Tika taka has been fundamentally found out. Infact it's players like our own Ross Barkley that can take advantage of it. The ones that can run with pace with the ball on the counter. Bale and...

Sorry percentage in possession. I thought that was obvious since we where talking about style of football and building from the back. You can't say that a team doesn't play Tika-taka because they lost but does because they won. Tika-taka is basically short passing into feet with movement and...

Another one of our players. Stones is brilliant, he looks like he will be world class but we'll be keeping him for at least another 3 or 4 seasons. He's still only 19.

I said we have one of the highest percentage stats which we do. A. Madrid drew against Barca in the league and still have to play them plus Barca were beat by them in the CL. However that's irrelevant, it's a league and not decided by those two games. How do Bayern not play Tika-Taka exactly...

He's played the 13th or 14th most amount of time as anyone in our squad plus he didn't play before November and was injured for 2 months. When available he's played. I also said that the reason I would prefer if he stayed was that he offers us another option plus at that age another year could...
