Yeah, you guys should remember that the shortlist also included Balotelli so Neymar being on there doesn't speak true measures about his actual talent, just his popularity.

I'm torn on the Guaita thing. Before Valdes said that he wasn't renewing and Guaita wasn't linked to us, he was having a really good season for Valencia and had some phenomenal games (like vs Madrid in the 1st half of the season). I actually backed him to be the future Spain keeper after the end...

Quite accurate actually because he was banned for a month before. You can check the duration of his various bans in the bannings thread under the Miscellaneous forum.

Planas is less than useless in attack though.

I think Heynckes said he wouldn't mind managing a different club. Though I may be mistaken. If Caparros were to come, Muniain would likely develop MUCH better than ever before and become a phenomenal player.

He had several world class tackles in there along with that goal line block (it took some real reflexes to be able to get to that) and staying composed throughout the entire match when Carvalho was a complete dumbass. He had several great and accurate passes as well and won a bunch of aerial...

How can anyone say he did nothing special against Barcelona. His defensive display alone was unbelievably outstanding, let alone his composed passing and the late equalizing goal. All of this was in his Clasico debut. He was amazing in the 2nd leg too (and coincidentally scored again)

Is it just me or is Thiago really tall for a 4-5 month old baby?

Question for anyone who is a regular viewer of the Brazilian league: How good is Bernard? How would he do in Europe?

He is banned permanently

:cry: Watching him at his best was amazing. He was a little Spanish wonder-kid and the future of Athletic and Spain. He has the agility, low center of gravity, and style of the Don and the never-say-die attitude of Puyol. I know he can come back and continue to progress as a great player but...

Spurs only have Lloris for GK and they JUST bought him. Plus he's too good for them to let go. De Gea is almost as unlikely but if he pushes for the move and United show more interest in Begovic, it can happen. It's not likely, but much more likely than Spurs selling Lloris.

Almost no way we can get Lloris.

Varane had the spotlight on him only after the Clasico but he's been VERY solid every game he's played even before that (aside from the one against Gala) and consistently outshines Pepe or even Ramos. El Sharaawy is above Verratti, but not Gotze or Varane.

GOL Araujo

Dongou is pressing hard

Varane is the best overall youngster, Gotze is the best in terms of attacking. Verratti is great but he's a yellow card machine

Is Adama in?

Right because the only phenomenal players are Oscar, Mata, Hazard, etc. :lol:

Why buy so many players when we have such a successful cantera? Just because Gotze is a phenonemal player doesn't automatically mean he has to be a transfer target for us. Gundogen is completely unnecessary as well, along with Neymar (although I do agree he will likely come because of Rosell)
