    Fabio Coentrao

    Marcelo, a player signed for a small fee with little fanfare many years ago, a player who is probably the best LB in the World right now, is going to be demoted to back-up so they can sign someone newer and shinier and more expensive and prestigious. if that doesn't sum Real Madrid up, I don't...

    Scholes Vs Xavi (Not a direct comparison thread)

    Respect.

    Fabio Coentrao

    well he looks like a total metro douchebag (do any Portuguese players just look like normal people? Paulo Ferreira seems to be the only one!) but he's a crackin' player so it's a shame to see him at RM. their relentless squad stacking, however, is mind-blowingly disgusting. I mean, they don't...

    Martin Caceres

    wouldn't surprise me. he was AWFUL for Juve. almost single-handedly got them KO'd from the CL. idiot. adieu Martin. you could wave a flag like no one else.

    Javier Pastore

    I wouldn't play Tevez. if you're going with a formation like THAT then Lavezzi would be a better fit purely to do the legwork. he'd be the Solari of the group. heh. but it's certainly an option. especially as Argentina don't have any excellent FB's coming through, that I can see anyway. Ivan...

    Paul Scholes

    Respect. Pep and Xavi's comments about him weren't praise enough (love Pep saying "if he wants to try a foreign country for a year, we would love to have a player like this.") then having the 3 best players in the World (+Busquets & Pedro, world cup winners) all wanting to swap shirts with you...

    Wayne Rooney

    Redknapp's not taking over. in fact he may well even not be Spurs manager soon. and Ox doesn't strike me as a traditional winger. he may start out there but he'll be drifting centrally. so you'd need a very good attacking FB on whatever wing he played on.

    Wayne Rooney

    Carroll is going to be a real problem for England and Liverpool. at least England can justify using him as Plan B (and what a plan!) but Liverpool spent £35m on him... I would definitely like to see Walcott as a central striker ahead of Rooney. and Wilshere in a double pivot with Jones or...

    Wayne Rooney

    playing while barely fit, with 0 midfield service, and under the pressure of what the tabloids were set to reveal about his horrid actions? riiight.

    Javier Pastore

    so far he seems to like Di Maria and Lavezzi. whatever the system, Di Maria has to play because no one else syncs with Messi like he does. and then it's just a matter of who the remaining striker is. Lavezzi is the most deferential, so is good for doing a lot of intelligent running offensively...

    Sergio Busquets

    if Cesc doesn't come, he could get No.4, yeah. but I kinda like him & Pedro at 16+17. it symbolises how they came through together, from nowhere. plus I always called Busi the Catalan Roy Keane, and he wore 16, so yeah. :lol:

    Rome or wembley

    Wembley for me. Rome was beautiful as it clinched the Treble, but the magical moment and emotional apex of that season came at Stamford Bridge. what happened in Rome was like The Scouring of The Shire. very good, but kind of an anti-climax in terms of drama after the epic moment that had...

    Javier Pastore

    I don't mean to stick him out wide, but to give him freedom like Iniesta has when he plays out there. I think this may even be something that Batista tries to use in the future for Argentina. playing Pastore, Messi and Di Maria in the forward line. it relies on midfield runners, obviously, but...

    word. it's so good to see him succeeding in the role of main man. very happy for him.

    I figured as much.

    14 - Javier Mascherano

    Drogba had an absolute sitter that he should have scored (Valdés owned him). as well as being clear once before diving when someone tapped him from behind. and then the 50/50 with Yaya. and that's just off the top of my head. he was on City's book? no, he was a Barcelona player for all of...

    14 - Javier Mascherano

    kept Drogba quiet for the most part? like I said; it was a 50/50 battle between the two. which is still damn impressive (and something Badger likely wouldn't be able to do) but let's not pretend he marshaled him like Marquez did in 2006, yeah? coz that'd just be silly. and tbh I misremembered...
