Yes, what guy wouldn't want to live close to his mother-in-law?

I remember last season reading reports about him being ready by a certain time, and then that time would come and go and he still wouldn't be fit. We'll just have to wait and see.

Why did Napoli loan him to West Ham? Why didn't West Ham want to sign him permanently after the loan finished?

Yeah, he plays as a CB or sometimes a LB for Lyon. I didn't see the Juve match, but I do remember the goal he scored against Tottenham. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5k7hYOvDQHM

Well that's great for us, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's great for Marquinhos now does it? If the speculation about him wanting out of PSG because he's worried about getting enough minutes is true, then, if I were in his shoes, I might like my chances against a possibly injury prone...

Anyone been following his progress? 20-years-old now.

Whether he'd prove to be better or not, he'd still have to compete with Bartra for minutes, and there are no guarantees in football.

If Marquinhos is concerned about playing time I can't see why he'd want to swap PSG for Barca. At PSG he'll be competing for minutes with a somewhat injury-prone 30-year-old, and a 27-year-old brand new signing who at his last club was deemed enough of a liability in defence that he was...

He played in Europe for years with Lyon. He was injured a lot though, so maybe that's why you don't remember.

I think I remember it being set at €200 million. Not sure about that though.

How is it not a priority for them to get a left back? Evra is 33 and Buttner is rubbish.

I certainly hope it doesn't happen, but at this point he could become another Sebastian Deisler. It's not worth the risk until he's demonstrated he can stay injury free in the upcoming season. In other news, I'm surprised we haven't been linked with South American CBs like Dória yet.

Cesc left in 2003 and Deco was signed in 2004, and Cesc wasn't playing "somewhere in the 4th divisions of Spain". He was still with the youth team. Cesc decided to jump ship without even trying to make it to the first team or sign a professional contract with us so we wouldn't be left with...

Great post. I hope to see Rafinha and Roberto given a lot of chances next season. Agree. I was disgusted when we bought Cesc back after he walked out on us. Thiago had had plenty of offers when he was younger but stuck it out with us and signed a senior contract.

I agree, and hopefully we'll be able to add Sergi Roberto to that list too.

Looks good to me.

Yeah, I guess he's not all bad.

I think I'd prefer Dória ahead of those two.

I'd certainly prefer Rafinha there instead of Cesc.

Atléti should be aiming higher than Torres.
