Iniesta is not a LW at Barcelona. Our whole current philosophy of a LW is someone with pace and scoring ability. Iniesta has neither of those. Sure he can create chances for others at LW but so could someone else who also has pace and can score goals. Putting him at LW is a waste of his talent...

I think we could get Capoue for 25 million or less and I think he's not only younger but better with a bright future.

This kids a completely different player than Sergi. He's much more mature when tackling/dispossessing and knows how to use his body. He's the same age as Sergi- we wont buy him b/c he's too good to be Sergi's back up, when Sergi should be his. He's better defensively and at passing, exactly what...

Not really. Every player is something before becoming a superstar. I've only watched Ramires on the national team, where I was not impressed. I don't follow Benfica enough to judge him based on his club. Also 'funny' how you label my mindset when not really knowing anything about me.

I'm Brasilian and honestly I dont see anything special about this kid. He didn't do much in the WC or during qualifying. Always seemed to be just "there". We need to stop getting players who are "ok" at everything and start signing players who are excellent at what we need them to do. We're not...

Pastore has no where near Kaka's pace. He could develop Kaka's direct style of play he had in AC Milan but as far as I know he hasn't shown that much thus far, although he's only 21. Don't see that comparison being too good, mate.

AC Milan has been a declining/aging club with no evidence of getting better anytime soon. They aren't known for developing youth well, given Pato has been there for a few seasons and is only turning 21 this september. I dont feel like he'll become half the player he could be surrounded by the...

As I stated in my post, I know he is smaller than Pato. He's shorter and skinnier. However his best quality, imo, is being able to score and dribble well with both feet. How can you say you follow the player and know a lot about him when you knock basically his best quality? And he's actually a...

How can you say until the end of last season you didn't think he'd be world class? The kid was 17 and was playing great ball for us with Rikaard as coach. He was only 19 still last season and barely played, when he did play it was usually really good. If any striker from the academy is gonna...

Honestly was a bit touching to see Messi hanging out and taking pictures with Ronaldo. My favorite player of this generation hanging out with my favorite player of all time.

I think people just like scapegoats. Someone posted that all 3 goals vs Inter the first game came from the left, hence they were all Maxwells fault. I' watched the game 2-3 times that week they lost and I dont remember it dawning on me what-so-ever that any of the goals were his fault. One was...

Ancelloti said Ashley Cole isn't going anywhere and I read a few days ago Madrid stopped pursuing Maicon. All I've seen them officially sign so far is Di Maria, who I like a lot but it will be interesting how they use him (Mourinho, a defensive coach running the most expensive team and...

I just hope he doesnt go to a shit club like Pato did. Very similar but Pato is a little bigger. Both can shoot with both feet, very fast and great first touch. The kid should stay in Brasil for another year, eat a lot more rice and beans, then go to Holland or mid-table spain club for year or...

I dont really see how he's man of the match other than the fact he scored the second goal. The first goal was a cross that went in b/c Julio EPIC FAILED and it hit Melo (douchebag). And the second goal was nothing special, deflection and poor defending. His performance for the rest of the game...

I have no idea how you can barely get hit, and sometimes not even touched, and consistently roll around on the floor like such a little bitch. I'd be embarrassed of myself and relinquish any sort of pride what-so-ever. I'm not a violent person or usually wish bad things upon people but it got to...

I personally refer to a dive as falling down without any contact. It looked, to me, that Torres did get knicked. He then however was dramatic about it. Not quite a "dive" tho I'd say. Now Cristiano Ronaldo has "dove" without any contact what so ever. Now thats pathetic. Going down when a guy has...

Di Maria is primarily left-footed isn't he? A good player with potential. I wonder if they'll try to play him on the right and let him cut in or play him as the left-footed LW. Would be funny if they made him RW, basically Robben but not as good.

Why would we want Messi to drop back or play anything like he does for Argentina. Sure he's the heart of Argentina and is playing well but he's not scoring. You don't "drop back" a player that scored 47 goals in 53 games for us last season....

Out of form or not Torres should start. Just him being on the field period opens up so much space for Villa and the midfield. He attracts defenders like gravity- the coach knows this. He should start and Pedro sent in around 60 mins if he's not performing again. What the coach needs to do is...

If we don't get Cesc I'd love Ozil. Although he's a star this world cup, being 21 and new to the spotlight, I dont think he'd mind rotating in the midfield as much and could be used effectively on the LW. The fact is if Ibra stays Villa will be on the LW and Ozil will be forced to rotate. And...
