    Gareth Bale

    he's not suited to being a winger, though. not at all. there's a reason why the likes of Gretar Steinsson and Phil Neville were able to comprehensively shut him down during his rise to prominence last Autumn. look at his runs, and his crosses. they are PURE left-back. it's all late surges, big...

    Gareth Bale

    I didn't say he was a good defender. I've said all along he'd need work. but he has the potential and the ability to absolutely own that position. and as the only perfect signing wants to go elsewhere, let's get this kid in. and yes, he likes to attack, but he's had a lazy hands-off manager...

    Gareth Bale

    Bale made his name as a promising young LB. only at Spurs, where 'Arry doesn't have any imagination or balls, did he become a LW. 1. giving him space is why you play him at LB, not LW. our LB's always have space to play in if you notice (unless we're doing some tika-taka on the sideline) and...

    Gareth Bale

    I've been on the Balegrana Bus from the first stop, tbh. this kid has all the physical and technical tools to replace Abidal. he would need to commit to playing a more mature game, making fewer but better runs forward, but he could be an absolutely devastating LB/LCB for us. with Vertonghen...

    Didier Drogba

    what a fucking Titan this man is. funny how the two best big game strikers of the last 10 years are African, yet people are always sleepin' on African football. 90% chance this will happen. he was making noises about getting paid on his next deal even BEFORE he won this. now he has nothing...

    2011-2012 CL Final: Bayern - Chelsea

    all of Chelsea's shitty CL luck since Abramovich took over returned to them in spades this season. they should have been beaten soundly in every game they played in the KO rounds, but they somehow scraped through every one thanks to some staggeringly poor finishing from their opponents. all you...

    2011-2012 CL Final: Bayern - Chelsea

    he's a quality young LB. decent at the back, good going forward. they'll use him to prevent Bayern overloading down their right (tho I'd use him to help Bosingwa shackle Ribery onthe other flank, tbh).

    Jordi Alba

    not good enough more like.

    Jordi Alba

    José Énrique? foh it's really quite sad, but kind of sums up the way the world is and always has been.

    Thiago tryin' to get him some of that Rafinha swagger. I can dig it.

    Jordi Alba

    so for those who haven't been following, or don't wanna read walls of text, to summarise: 1. Jordi Alba would be a good signing, but nowhere near a perfect one. he may improve his defensive play, sure, and he may even bulk up and become stronger, but he'll never been taller than 5'7 and height...

    Jordi Alba

    I'm not saying we don't need a CB because we're going to sign Jordi Alba, I'm only bringing it up in this thread because I saw yet another post saying that we should sign a CB. and that's horseshit. we need to replace Abidal, not anyone else. and Abidal was a LB/LCB. yes, and do you know why...

    Jordi Alba

    I swear to superjesusallahbuddhayahwehshiva if I see one more person say we need a CB I'm going to kill someone. WE. DO. NOT. NEED. A. CB. Valdés just got his FOURTH ZAMORA IN A ROW despite Piqué playing about 10 good games all season because of injury and Abidal dropping out for the last 2...

    Jordi Alba

    just misdirection and half-truths ALL OVER THE PLACE. Barcelona ALSO have the 192 Piqué and 189 Busquets, so basically we lose the height of Ramos and Arbeloa/Iraola. sure, we lose height but nowhere near as much as you make out. Barcelona also don't have Xabi slowing shit down in the middle so...
