How many people here would seriously sacrifice better job prospects for the sake of their club potentially doing that little bit better? I doubt many would if it really came down to it. I don't think it's any more reasonable to expect it of footballers. This is his career we're talking about...

The sending off destroyed the game. Crazy tackle. No idea what he was thinking.

Blind would be very good for Barcelona I think. His positioning is usually very good, as is his passing. It's only really when he gets into a physical battle that he can fall short.

Building the play has never been Arsenal's problem. They lack character and strong leaders and I don't see Wenger being able to buy that. He is the problem. Arsenal should have tried tried to get Simeone.

He offsets his inexperience with his pace. He is ridiculously fast, faster than Walcott even.

Everton are a shambles. I wouldn't expect Pique or Mascherano to fare much better in that side.

Clattenburg :lol:

I disagree. They're deliberately being more direct and less concerned with possession which means players are more spread out and Atletico can't stay compact. They're betting on their athleticism against Atletico's counters and hitting them on the break themselves.

Zidane has got this spot on so far. Real making Atletico look so open.

I suspect that if Barcelona were serious about buying Stones then they could get him for less than Chelsea or United, partly because he wouldn't be going to a domestic rival and party because he'd force his way out. All things being equal I could see Barca being in for him, but when they can get...

Scores on his England début within the first 3 minutes. 736274777174872064

A lot in the media seem to think he'll convince Zlatan to come with him.

What foundation? They've spent enormous sums of money yet their squad is still a mess.

I think United need to get out of this mentality that they need a long-term manager. SAF was the exception that proved the rule, the top teams change managers all the time, and if they keep waiting around for another SAF to appear they'll be left behind. Hiring Mourinho is a no-brainer in my view.

He isn't, just like Balotelli wasn't. Liverpool (who I am not a supporter of) just make bad signings. They had their best strikers taken off them for massive sums without obvious adequate replacements, so they opted for what they considered to be safe PL-proven players. It has nothing to do with...
