Cesc always played in the midfield for us?! :facepalm:

Say we buy Kovacic as a starter....That is Kovacic, Rakitic, Busquets, Iniesta and Rafinha....then Gundogan/Alan/Granit.....? All three of those players will want to START. Not be rotation players or sit around waiting for one of the starters to get hurt. Same with all those young strikers I...

Not sure why people want to spread out so much money on multiple players instead of buying people who are most likely to make our team BETTER. Look at the Suarez signing. Gundogan had a major back injury and hasn't been the same since. He isn't nearly as good as he used to be. We have MNS with...

IMO Gundogan plays much deep than Iniesta even plays presently. He plays deep like a DM most of the time, hence all the long balls. How many times do you see Gundogan near the final third, linking up with teammates or playing quick short passes? How often do you see him taking on defenders or...

That is exactly what I mean. Iniesta's "role" in the current team is nothing like the role he had in the team under Pep or his other successors. It is a much more defensive role, a bit more work rate involved too. We should be trying to buy someone who fills the position's current "role", not...

I'd prefer Kovacic over Gundogan. IMO he would suit Iniesta's current role on the team much better. Good vision, good workrate, and he likes to move into space to recieve the ball. Still young and isn't injury prone. He is also a good dribbler and can take on opponents.

I meant waiting on Dortmund to accept a reasonable fee. Lewandowski was in a similar boat and he was in top form and went to their biggest rivals for peanuts. Why the hell should we pay 30-40 mil for a player with 6 months on his contract, back from a serious long injury and in average form at...

Doesn't his contract run out in 6 months? Tell them 15mil or we get him for free, I doubt Gundogan will mind waiting.

Yea....James, Isco, Modric, Khedira, Illara and Kroos... poor Madrid. :D

Absolutely rest him vs Atletico, they are a really physical team. The CL final is 6/12 and CDR final 5/30 I believe...make sure he is healthy for those. We should only consider playing him vs Deportivo if we don't get a win vs Atletico.

If we are smart, definitely 1/3 the price. I prefer Pogba, but I wont justify spending 100 million. Can't base his work rate off of yesterday since he came back from a lengthy injury, also Juventus was coached off the bat to be defensive and play for the 0-0. I think he did a great job staying...

They pay way too much in bonuses...I understand incentives for winning, but even paying players 30mil out of that 56mil is completely appropriate and fair. 26mil towards the transfer budget would do wonders.

I feel that there are only a handful of people that make logical posts on this forum- from the top of my head you and Jamdav are two of them, although I don't agree at times with the latter.

I completely agree. I have respect for Bale, I have none for Ronaldo. Ronaldo truely just sits around waiting for a penalty or for someone to create a scoring chance for him. Bale was actually running into positions constantly trying to score and making chances for himself. He might not have...

Juventus MVP- Casillas

Pogba come on man.....ughhhhh

Omg i can't believe it

lmao Pirlo, fuck you Allegri, seriously. you are a fucking moron.

Marchissio :( :( :(

Sigh, Juventus needs to stop letting them cross over and over. Mid and fullback need to shutdown out wide.
