    Marco Reus

    What worked for RM for 1 season (actually a few months) is not necessarily going to work for FCB. Besides di María's work rate is much greater than that of Reaus. Di María is a different player too. Carlo managed to use his strengths in the most ideal way. We don't need Reus as a replacement...

    Marco Reus

    What? Play where? Reus and Iniesta are very different players. They don't even occupy the same position on the field. You can't seriously think that a team composed of Messi, Suárez, Neymar and Reus would be a healthy and balanced team? People on Spanish forums for instance.:lucho:

    Marquinhos

    Well, don't you think that such an situation is unwanted on the long run? It is going to disrupt the chemistry of the squad completely and ultimately potentially destroy the team results which are all that matter. If Cavani continues this behavior then he will be sold this summer. Otherwise the...

    Marco Reus

    Reus is a very good player although I think that he is slightly overrated or maybe I am just tired of the hype that surrounds him in the Spanish press and the constant rumors. The main and most important question is where is he going to play if he moves to the club? Is he going to bench Neymar...

    Basketball/NBA

    I have been a Lakers fan since I was a young teenager. Meaning around a decade of support. It's very sad to see them in this state and a Kobe that is barely able to take a piss without getting injured. The Lakers must have the worst or second worst record in the NBA to be guaranteed a top five...

    Marquinhos

    That's because they did not want to leave as in "I am not going to play a game for the club anymore". They wanted to move but they could clearly live with another season at PSG getting insane wages. After all both were/are young players that are yet to establish themselves. We are talking about...

    Marco Reus

    Well, they already won the UEFA Super Cup and FIFA World Cup. They are leading the league currently and are almost certain to reach the quarter-finals in the CL. It could be worse. The mistake of Carlo (not Pérez) is that he did not want a bigger squad. It's not down to Pérez selling di María...

    Aymeric Laporte

    Well I guess that the difference in opinion is due to us rating Laporte differently. I get your point otherwise. Cáceres was never as talented or as promising as Laporte. We also bought him for around 15 million euros if I recall. He has also later proven his worth at a top club like Juventus...

    Marco Reus

    Sure. I was just saying that Pogba would be a better fit for FCB than Reus would. At least the need for the Frenchman and his attributes is bigger than that of the German if you ask me. Actually RM has been better at buying and selling players than most top clubs in Europe including FCB. Pérez...

    Marquinhos

    Let's just agree to disagree then. I am convinced that both Marquinhos and Verratti want to prove themselves in a much better league and at bigger clubs. If the right offer emerges from a top club and they want to move then they will eventually move. No club can keep players against their will...

    Aymeric Laporte

    Strange logic. Even if the club bought a well-established name there is no guarantee of that player succeeding. Even if Laporte would fail (which I doubt) then you could always sell him for an acceptable sum of money afterwards due to his young age. If the club for instance bought a 30 year old...

    Marquinhos

    I am not disputing PSG's potenital here or that the Qataris are ambitious. I mean they have to spend some of their oil/gas billions on something outside of building skyscrapers and wasting money on palaces etc. I am just saying that no matter how strong PSG is going to become then they will...

    Marco Reus

    Exactly. A team like RM could use Reus though. If they sell Bale for instance. If I was Pérez I would sell Bale for an insane amount of money to some naive British club (Man Utd says hello) and then buy Reus who is a better player when fit and in form IMO. But where is Reus going to play if he...

    Marquinhos

    The central question is will young promising players such as Marquinhos and Verratti stay in PSG for long? I personally don't think so. No matter how good PSG will become then they are still going to play in Ligue 1. A league that is gradually improving but a league that is still far less...

    Aymeric Laporte

    Well, knowing that we can't register any players before January 2016 I see it as very doubtful that the club will manage to buy a long-term CB before the summer of 2016. In 1.5 years time a HELL lot can change. Unless the club is able to make a gentleman agreement with Athletic, PSG...

    Marco Reus

    We don't need Reus at all and he is not that good either. Where is he supposed to play? No, he is not and will never be the replacement of Don Andrés. Personally I would rather buy a 5 years younger Depay for instance for a lower transfer fee or a similar one. Messi, Neymar and Suárez are...

    Marquinhos

    I was not replying to your post or that of any other user. In fact I have not even read them. I just saw this thread and gave my opinion about Marquinhos. Of course his future is not dark. Who said such a ridiculous thing? I have never doubted Marquinhos' talent. I wanted him at the club when...

    Aymeric Laporte

    Hummels is slightly above average at best when it comes to pure defending. When it comes to "flair", his passing game, vision etc. then he is second to none on his position. Having said that then the main strength of a defender should always be his ability to defend. I don't think that Hummels...

    Marquinhos

    He likely missed the train last summer. No need to obsess about him like with TS who is past it now and who is going to turn 31 years this September as well. Plenty of other promising youngsters around that would be easier to buy. It could be much worse than Piqué, Mascherano, Mathieu, Bartra...

    Lliga: Bilbao - Barca 2-5

    What an amazing performance. It's simply a pleasure to watch football like this. Fast, attacking, varied, technical and direct. Everything that most of us want to see. I would never in my life have imagined such a strong reaction after that laughable performance against La Real 5 weeks ago. 9...
