That's literally what Chelsea did with Cech. And there's no guarantee Bravo was going to be the starter this season. In fact, Bravo's entourage only said he'd leave if it turned out he wasn't going to be the undisputed #1.

The 2nd division didn't punish his lack of height the way the top flight would. Reflex-wise he's great and he has great distribution but he'd get hammered by any higher shots.

What you're saying makes too much sense. Never underestimate Lucho's ability to get Rafinha minutes. Because I assure you, it will happen.

If Tarin and Lopez are still hurt then I guess that explains it, but Lucho doesn't seem to rate Tarin, either, which is really odd.

Xavi has nearly 800 appearances lmao, I don't think even Messi will get that high.

Wouldn't even be surprised. After he started Mathieu at LB instead of Digne I won't put anything past him anymore, lol

You can bitch and you can moan, but at least he's not going out on loan.

Why does Lucho keep calling Martinez? Is he blind?

That's more like 20m in Euros, which is a good price. For some reason I don't think the club shares your irrational dislike of Man City and their manager. An injury to any team's main keeper would hurt the team drastically. We've had it easy by having both but we've been spoiled. This...

I can agree that both passes helped unlock it. I was going after serghei's comment that Arda himself unlocked it with his chest pass (serghei's comment makes no mention of Denis) and that means he had a good game. Aside from his chest pass he did close to nothing for almost the entire game and...

I've said it was a great pass several times. I've not once denied it was a good play. You people are getting all up in arms just because I said Arda's not a good goalscorer, but that's completely besides the point. His chested pass doesn't eliminate the rest of his game and make it a great...

Just because I want Mats to be the #1 doesn't mean I want Bravo to cost us games. Although I'm sure the opposite doesn't apply for you. I can already see the scapegoating coming the moment Bravo leaves, whenever that may be.

What are you on about? Nowhere did I say he should have scored, try reading it again. The only thing ridiculous is your lack of reading comprehension. I'd like you to go back and fucking bold that shit, because it ain't there. I said if he had a nose for goal (He doesn't) he'd have tried taking...

No, he wasn't. Early season was when Messi got injured, that was when most of the hate on him multiplied. He picked up steam against Espanyol and since then he's been on a tear. The assumption was that he'd return to poor-form Munir that we were familiar with but it lasted into preseason and now...

Those question marks are really throwing me off. Like I'm reading and then BAM.

I absolutely love how we can have one of our most legendary players come off, and have a sub who can not only fill in, but find a way to save the day for us. Our squad depth is something incredible. This time last season we'd have been royally screwed if Neymar and Rafinha were both with Brazil...

Had nothing to do for almost the whole game, but damn did he look calm. :lol:

He isn't a competent goalscorer, though. Not even at Atletico was he reliable in front of goal (In the past 5 seasons he has 24 goals). Give that same ball to any of MSN or Munir and that ball is going towards goal, every time. Not that there's anything particularly wrong with that. I really...

Mathieu getting injured was probably the best thing that could have happened for us. They ramped up their attack as the game went on the way you'd expect, there's no way Mathieu would have been able to hold them.

No, Denis did. If he had any nose for goal he could have scored it himself. He just touched it back to someone who is a competent scorer. The pass from Denis is the reason that was all possible. I repeat: Arda Turan did not "Unlock" anything. You're making a great move look dull by overhyping it.
