All of MSN and Iniesta, Rakitic and Alves can shoot well from far, iniesta infact basically only scores long shots nowadays :lol: . They just don't shoot from far cause I guess in their minds thats not the barca way.

If you put Halilovic against the competition Rafinha faces you'll see the difference in quality. Halilovic has shown to have all of Rafinha's talents bar his defensive prowess but he hasn't had to play against the likes of RM,Villareal (And barca while he was at celta) and others like Rafinha...

Rafinha isnt the same type of player as Messi/Halilovic, Messi can play like both Halilovic and Rafinha but Halilovic can only play like MEssi while Rafinha plays more like a cm imo. You can see it when he plays on the wing, he's more like iniesta in that the 4-3-3 turns into a sort of 4-3-1-2...

Drogba was 26 when he went to chelsea, when he left the first time he was named the greatest chelsea player of all time. :lol:

Also if you want to look at an example look at halilovic he may not be there yet but he made alot of improvement in his game this season because he was put in a position where he had to know what to do in a given situation because the other midfielders weren't giving him proper support. And...

I dont think its impossible, with the right coach and proper experience its something that can be learned. This is assuming he wants to get better but if he does then its as simple as listening to the advice the coach gives you and after a while it becomes your habits. He's never going to be...

Has all the talent to succeed just needs a good coach imo.

Reports showed that Messi would have won if not for the extension. That Ronaldo heroics + Messi being injured at the same time led those idiot journalists to forget the rest of the year because of a lackluster CL exit. Imo Messi won the prize as soon as Boateng hit the ground. Hopefully a fourth...

Not that I don't think he'd fit in he has the technical ability and what not but why bother honestly? With Rakitic we had a real need as seen against RM in the first clasico, Xavi just simply couldn't play in big games any more because he wasnt physically up to it. But Iniesta is still there and...

I agree with DonAndres our midfield this season was more like the midfield of 2010 where it wasn't really just AM-DM-CM but it was just a cohesive unit where everyone just clicked and played great football so just like in 2010 when Xavi played CF half the time Rakitic was there all the time...

Well every game is tough for the top teams as compared to Barca/Bayern/Real because EPL top teams are weak so its easier for their bottom teams to compete. People always get it mixed up when they see Barca roflstomping teams when those same teams can roflstomp teams in other leagues.

I honestly don't think we'd have won everything with Kroos simply because I don't think Kroos would have been able to cover up Dani's again defensive abilities the way Rakitic did even without a Pedro/Sanchez on the wing to help out too.

Yeah he could've easily forced Iniesta to go for goal himself of pull wide for Messi but idk if he was specifically thinking that he should cut off Iniesta's path instead of the pass but I guess he didn't know that its always better to make iniesta shoot rather than pass.

Rafinha at the start of this past season vs Rafinha at the end shows a very real improvement so much so that he's turning the minds of a lot of nayssayers even with limited time, I expect him to get even better since he'll basically get all of xavi's mins and by the time we are able to buy pogba...

He needs to stop passing to Di Maria when its clear he's having a bad game, specifically when there are other options I think he may be too used to passing it off to Neymar on the left so he just automatically thinks thats always a good option.

Will there be a chat?

Song for free so West ham will pay his wages probably. He would just be a drain on the club otherwise.

I don't think he'd refuse if we actually want to buy him back, if we do then it's not like we'll loan him out again. I feel once we assure him (be it contractually or otherwise) he'll come back. Also theres apparently a first option too so we don't have to buy him back after only one or two...

Happy for him, hope he can get minutes and play his game. Officially an everton fan until further notice.

Dude is nasty.
