Great player, I'm very surprised at how well Dortmund are coping despite losing a star like Gotze.

He was more impressive on an attacking standpoint. Defensively he was meh, but it really didn't make much of a difference considering how shit the entire back line was in general.

Deulo doesn't really dive. He complains to the ref a bit though. He'll be playing against rough defenders and in a physical, energetic league so he'll learn to track back and keep running.

http://www.evertonfc.com/news/archive/2013/07/10/deulofeu-is-a-diamond He's gonna be learning English, and the Everton kit actually looks nice on him. I expect him to get overhyped a bit in England and it'll be annoying when all the commentators call him "Delafo" or "Doolafoo"

I expect Bagnack to, since he's physically developed. Samper and Sandro might find it a little difficult at first but their fundamental qualities really help the team. As hard as it may be to adjust to more physical life, Samper playing as a pivot will help us immensely in defense and attack...

Bagnack to strengthen defense with Grimaldo, maybe Casasola joining Samper providing a true pivot and a basis for the passing play Sandro and Dongou providing a lethal and tricky attack This team is much better balanced than last season's, which was only notably strong in attack with Rafa...

If Roberto is the type of manager that's been described, then I don't see much problem with him moving to Everton. Well besides the fact that I'll have to regularly follow them :lol: I'm almost certain he'll develop into a completely different player than the frustrating Deulo we know now...

If you haven't watched Oliver, then go ahead and believe it's all "hype". He's been impressive as hell for a while now, not just in the u20 WC. Also, about Marcos, I don't get how anyone who is currently going about condemning the people who've rated him highly are any better, as I doubt...

They weren't complacent vs Bayern or Madrid? The play was so slow and lazy we were basically asking to be killed on the counter. Those were really the key examples of complacent games where we just dominated possession but didn't threaten at all. Playing quality declined, we were able to...

A mix of the best in TS and Marcos? That's really pushing it. The guy had one good game against Spain in the final and now suddenly he's worth 35m? Please. He's reckless going forward, has tons of lapses in focus, if we call Pique complacent and inconsistent then wtf is Luiz?

There was lack of motivation and declination of stars in 11-12. I'm not arguing that there wasn't. Pep did state that it was harder to motivate the players. Not arguing with that either. It's a comparison between how much all of this was prevalent in the two seasons. And as a team this season we...

He had long goal droughts but put in some spectacular performances, hopefully he fills the holes in his consistency as he ages and matures with experience.

I'm not making this a Tito vs Pep thing, not even really pinpointing Tito for it. The decline of our form had definitely started in 11-12 and there was not a whole lot Tito did to add to it, he just let it continue (which is bad, but still not as much as some people are accusing him of)...

From a surface level, finances and revenues always look good and point to the ability to make massive money signings, but since neither you or I are internally involved in the clubs financial branch we can't simply make the assumption that more displayed revenue leads straight to transfer/wage...

Even if Bayern was a far superior side, 7-0 is a MASSIVE difference than the tight Chelsea games. The difference was in the gameplay as well, they were constantly fighting and attacking versus Chelsea. Against Bayern they looked so dead they could barely get a shot. Not just against Bayern. It...

This season's side had more injuries but not that much more than Pep's. As I said before, the results are misleading. Almost no one would actually say that this Barcelona side were consistently brilliant enough to have been winning with that margin. They played with a lazier style that took...

I'm starting to believe it less and less each day. As the media milked the rumor dry, there has been little to no indication that he's even nearing a move which shows a lot of this was press-born instead of factual. They said he had already signed, they said he was gonna leave within a week of...

There was complacency, I'm not arguing that. However I feel this season it was much more constant, almost synonymous with our team for a majority of the 2nd half of the season. Results would speak in favor of Tito but our team "adapted" to a style that made it easier to take advantage of shaky...

With all the Galactico B.S under Florentino? No way. A couple of unnecessarily expensive transfers on our part doesn't compare to the massive wave of money Real has spent over the last 10-12 years

You've got a point there. Smarter United fans do see him as a good prospect that can help the team in a reasonable way. However I've seen so many times the stupid fans saying he's the next coming of Ronaldo and that he's one of the top 5 young players in the world and crap like that.
