The few times we played him as a deep lying playmaker he was terrible. At Arsenal he was always making runs into the box and hanging around the 18 during possession looking to link up. Stating he was a DEEP lying playmaker assumes that he actually hung out deep most of the time, like Xavi, but...

I don't think a left footed player should ever play on the left side of our midfield. Rafinha looks really awkward when he's been there too.

If Juve really did recieve a 120mil bid for Pogba they would instantly stamp "sold" on his forehead. That is twice as much as he's really worth. No way they would reject that.

Why have a workhorse with no vision behind the striker? Also, why have the DM on the side of the high work rate/defending winger? Should be Fabregas behind striker, Willian RM and Matic LM. Having two work horses on the right side also gives RB chance to push up into attack more. This makes...

I can agree with you that Lucho should stand firm and rotate MSN a bit more. Like you said, even considering if there are no injuries, if you bench them each only a handful of times it opens up a ton of playing time for a 4th forward. The key thing like someone else mentioned is players with...

If true City now has the best team in England. Sterling has looked really good for them, they look for him a lot going forward. I wonder how Silva, Sterling and DB will all fit in though, they will all want to see a lot of the ball. Otamendi was a very solid CB signing too.

Those number sigh. He's a good player but not worth anywhere near that much. Him actually fitting in our midfield is another discussion altogether too.

So after being barely average last season, Gundogan is in top form now after a few games in august....?

Because Cuadrado sucks. Not a good defender as RB and not a good goal scorer going forward. Why buy him?!

Considering how you're speaking, you seem to have absolutely no clue why we've had so much success. You also seem to think the success will continue...especially when our youth has been overall unimpressive to say the least and more than half of our recent signings have been very poor...Song...

Let's all laugh about our arch rivals continuing to sign young talent at fair prices!!! (Minus James, of course). Let's continue laughing when we buy an overhyped Serie A "phenom" for 80mil and pay him 12mil net wages. So funny!

I feel bad for Hazard, he has some masterclass games and then he disappears like today vs Man City. Mourinho's tactics don't suit him at all and Chelsea's midfield couldn't get the ball out of their half; he barely got any touches on the ball hehe. I don't think he's overrated, he's a...

Yes.

He was supporting Pogba with the use of titles and success, which was with Juve (and some international youth team). Pogba plays well with a very good team against teams who are incredibly weaker than them. Kovacic plays very well for a team who is currently in a terrible state and whose...

A lot of that has to do with Serie A...and Serie A sucks. It is also even less impressive because he plays for the best team in the league who are head and shoulders above every other team in the league.

I'm glad you edited your post because I was going to say you must be trolling... Although I disagree, he is all talent and no brain. Unless he is head down and dribbling he has no idea what he's doing until proven otherwise.

I'm complaining exactly BECAUSE I've watched him play a lot and if you'd actually watched him play you'd feel the same way. No one is saying he is a "world beater" or the best player ever, but he just turned 21 like two months ago. I not only see him already for the player he is, but the player...

I'm so gutted. I haven't been this disappointed since Hazard signed for Chelsea. I couldn't care less about James or Kroos signing for RM. With Isco it bothered me a little bit, probably more so because RM signed him and we were losing Thiago. Kovacic though...my eyes will bleed watching him...

They are two entirely different players and would suit two very different roles.

I think Lucho was really putting his faith in Rafinha and La Masia...I think it's safe to say Roberto will never be WC, Rafinha has improved a little and at this point I don't see him becoming that much better by the end of this season. The jury is still out on Munir and Sandro...Kovacic has a...
