Would prefer Isco as we have Thiago for Xavi's role and don't need Gundogan. However Isco shouldn't come either because he needs to develop and won't get the playing time he needs at Barca

The thing is I doubt Moyes would dare to change everything Fergie set up in his first season at United, especially considering that the current system has just been successful so there are no huge concerns for them right now other than some midfield transfers. The team will shape more to Moyes'...

United have interest in Begovic. If they get him then De Gea would be free to move to Barca and they will have a strong replacement as well.

I'd love for Sociedad to make the CL but think about the difficulties holding off Valencia. The best teams Valencia have to play are Rayo and Sevilla Sociedad still have to play Real Madrid and Sevilla

Student with master :lol:

Grimaldo has declined this season under Eusebio's defensive tactics but I still believe he has immense potential.

+1 Nevertheless some struggles this season have only helped him mature and become even better. I have no doubt he will become one of the worlds best one day because he has insane talent, confidence, and nerves. He's the kind of commanding GK we need and could help lead/organize our defense.

:lol:

Very insightful and interesting point about Matthias Ginter, I'll definitely look into him. Although that being said, I don't think the club will :lol: If they go for the "Varane route" it'll most likely be in the form of Marquinhos (even though he's already well known so it's not a transfer...

... You do realize that Lahm and Alaba are two of the best fullbacks when it comes to defense right? They are very efficient and strong going forward, but balance that with unbelievable composure and discipline in defense (something lacking in Alba and Alves)

Honestly that kept me confused for a while because that's a triple negative :lol: Hope it's not true though

These "talented rookies" have much more experience and the necessary attributes to deal with counterattacks than Hummels does, and they are more reliable long term options than Silva would be. Experience is a huge variable. A player who is 20 can have more experience in some aspects of playing...

Masch has been alright at CB in normal or smaller games, Pique is definitely necessary since he rarely gets injured and gives us depth, Puyol can play in big games and some small games, Bartra is getting better and better, etc. Martinez and Marquinhos have a decent amount of experience...

We're not lacking in capable CB's, we're lacking in overall depth and a solid defensive system. Throwing random money away for a "world class" defender isn't gonna solve any long term problems or even be a good fix. A guy like Martinez is fine as a transfer because he's reliable, adds depth, and...

Doesn't mean it's the end of the world. Bartra is capable of handling more playing time and Inigo Martinez/Marquinhos would definitely be very great transfers and smart long term solutions. Plus there are other defenders for the club to consider transfers for as well.

Have Chelsea confirmed the Schurrle signing? If so, why bother with more forwards since they have Torres, Ba, Lukaku, and him

Good from Tito to push for the better target and not settle for a big name that wouldn't be a great fit. Honestly I doubt either will happen because wages would cause the Silva transfer to fall through and Tito seems like he's put his foot down on not wanting Hummels here. No point for him to...

I like Perin a lot. I've said before he needs to try to catch the ball more rather than parry it out/in front of him because with a crap defense, that's just inviting more attacking chances. I haven't seen him recently so I'm not sure if he fixed that. Overall he has catlike reflexes and really...

So for Italian GK's it goes: Current: Buffon Next: Sirigu/Marchetti Young generation: Leali/Perin PS: to all avid watchers of Serie A, who's better/has more potential, Leali or Perin?

Lewandowski scored against a Madrid side when Mourinho failed a 4-3-3 and left Gundogan unmarked.
