I applaud that you're actually looking outwards to find less known players who have talent yet not as much media attention. The marquee signing isn't always the preferable one. Although Castillo may be talented, we don't really need a young forward because we have many young goalscorers from...

What a coincidence :lol:

Not always about talent. He just seems more of an old style footballer, not fitting with the modern game. He's not very mobile, likes aggressive defensive play, and his passing range is impressive but he's still very slow with them. If he was playing in the 80's or something he'd be one of the...

Judging by his behaviors, he looks like he has a natural tendency to make himself imposing and large on opposition attackers, shutting down space and putting them under a lot of pressure. That's a great trait for smothering counterattacks, forcing errors, and creating the illusion that the...

Pellegrini would know that Isco is obviously more valuable than guys like Milner, Sinclair, or even Nasri. If he goes with a 4-2-3-1 then it'll probably look like this --------Aguero/Dzeko Isco------Silva---------Navas --Toure-------Fernandinho or if it's 4-2-2-2 he might deploy Isco as a...

I even said "secondary" CB. For example we could get Koscielny as primary CB and Doria as an understudy to grow into a starting role in later years. He's a better option to be a secondary signing than Marquinhos because he'd actually be relatively cheap and unproven, making it much easier to...

I don't think any good would come from placing a set number of games Messi should play. If he's in full flight form and playing energetically, why unnecessarily rest him for the satisfaction of some fans even if he's not really at risk for injury? It's about knowing when to rest him. If for...

http://thebotafogostar.com/2013/02/23/doria-botafogo/ He's tall as hell and apparently comfortable on the ball too. Only time I've ever heard of him was when he was linked with Juventus. If he's good he could be a better "secondary" CB transfer than Marquinhos because he'd be more willing to...

Ancelotti or Pellegrini for coaches to develop him. Pretty good choices actually. Madrid better for NT City better for continuity (working under Pellegrini)

Mascherano has done very well under the circumstances he's been given. He actually is probably our best defender consistency wise, but even then he's very flawed in some aspects. - His tackling his amazing, the only real part about him that would constitute a "world class" CB - His positioning...

Our defenders aren't organized enough and football has changed too much to play the 3 man backline with one sweeper and only two stoppers. That's why you stick one more stopper in front of the sweeper to close down space and the sweeper can take out advanced attacks from a more withdrawn...

Morata on, hopefully he continues the scoring streak :D

He's part of the u20 WC squad. He'll still be able to play with the u21 in the future so they didn't mind leaving him for this tournament. They did need Jese though, as Tello and Rodrigo have been piss poor.

Rayo, Celta, and Betis seem like the best loaning sides in la liga right now. Sevilla and Sociedad aren't that bad though. Sevilla is better for Deulofeu because of the Navas transfer.

Nice :lol:. How's Koke been doing, my stream has been very off and on for the past 30 or so minutes so I can't get a good read on the game besides Tello's failures.

Got up for less than a minute.... :lol: who scored?

Tello usually can't perform against more compact defenses or strong fullbacks. It's just a matter of when his one-trick pony stuff works or not.

Testing. Thanks for the help!

I know this is really stupid of me but I honestly still don't know how to use multi-quote. What are you supposed to do after you click it?

He only had a single season at Madrid and ended up with 96 points in the league. It was an admirable season no doubt, just outshined by Barca. Think of how amazingly he's done with clubs that have far less resources. Also I think you have the seasons mixed up. Barca won the treble the previous...
