dembele is seen as a stopgap for sancho. don't think there is a chance that they look for a permanent deal.

probably the board told koeman to give it another try as we paid a huge transfer sum for him.

yeah, maybe switching with depay in-game would work better. even tough it's clear we'll have the same problem with depay being similar to messi and griezman.

behind the striker at 10. or rw. or maybe he is still experimenting and will change formation. messi and griezman can play at 9, but they wouldn't be as effective. we already know that griezmann is terrible there.

Koeman: "Martin does serve me. I'd like to have two players per position. Leo and Griezmann can play as '9', but they are not the type of forward as Martin is. We are looking for one more striker." so not even koeman believes the messi at 9 theory. clearly it was a move related to available...

i just feel koemann took the decision for lack of quality striker in the squad. don't think we would have taken the same approach with for example prime suarez being available.

why? he's better at playing the 9 then?

i don't understand this type of reasoning, so you want messi to play as most advanced player in 4231 when he never did this in all of his career?! basically he has to turn into ronaldo when even ronaldo is not playing as the lone striker for his team. he is way better then coutinho or...

next we have celta away and sevilla at home. we'll see how this supposed superstar will perform.

rumored 75M clause that becomes active next summer. even so, i would expect raiola to ask between 20-50M just for himself. transfer most likely would be a package between 150-200M. provided he is that good.

It doesn't. We are better off with bringing in a pure striker for more tactical variaton. Messi at ST or false 9 will bite us in the ass against good teams.

he is the future of this club! :pique1:

exactly. penalty came when we were 2-0 up in the first half. of course messi should take it. maybe if we were at 3-0 in the last 10 minutes... you like to talk a lot of shit, don't you? messi was ok overall, but the new role doesn't suit him. he clearly tried and never looked like sulking or...

first we have celta away, on thursday. then it's sevilla at home, on sunday. we'll see what we're made off at the end of this week.

mainly because of poor judgement at times - not choosing the best option when passing forward(not such a big problem for me) and the fact he misplaced passes to put the opposition on the counter(the biggest problem with him and it is happening more frequently in the past year) after pjanic...

not pushing for this transfer, but out of that lot only pique should be a starter. umtiti is as good as dead for us. lenglet shows his shortcomings against good teams. and araujo won't even play much aside from first rounds in the cup or a meaningless CL group game.

so we concede 8 against bayern and 4 against liverpool and defense wasn't at fault? who was then? the kitman? i understand that it's more than just defending and different tactics and coach might help. but you can't go into battle already knowing that lenglet and roberto were never meant to be...

we overthink and discuss what money bags city do in terms of transfers. but on the other hand we started the same defense last night that we used against liverpool and bayern. wish we would splash big on a central defender...

they'll spend the money on bringing sancho. psg maybe, but i think he'll just finish his contract here and fuck off to the US since he likes basketball that much.

RW is dead anyway with Griezmann played there. Trincao is still green and Dembele can play both wings
