:facepalm: Now I hope the whole rumor about us trading him for Cuadrado is true. Never thought I'd hope we're getting Cuadrado :lol:

Yeah, I've already said that while I would have taken Benatia over either of them, I'd much rather have had Benatia + Mathieu than Benatia + Vermaelen. The thing is, even if Mathieu proves he was a good choice, the fact still remains that a far better, younger one was available for not much...

How do the stats show that he doesn't fit? High pass completion, high % of aerial duels won, not a lot of errors, etc. I agree that nothing we did this window compares to the DL transfer. Except the Douglas transfer :( I also agree that Zubi did pretty well this window EXCEPT on the CB issue...

PSG buy David Luiz for 60m. We offer 43m for Marquinhos. Meanwhile, Bayern buy Benatia for 30m. This is how you do business.

Fixed :p I wonder if Simeone could motivate him. Might have been worth it for Atletico to take a punt at him. Just a thought.

Ok how the fuck did I forget about him :lol: Costa still didn't really fit though. So that point is still partially valid. Should have said they lack strikers. Because they don't really have many good options besides Costa, and even he is a question mark.

Seemed pretty clueless to me in that Bayern game. I agree that we were a lot better before Roura took over, but even then there were a lot of games we were barely winning (Depor, Spartak, etc). And even then we were very meh in big games (only one we did well in was the first Super Cup game)...

The same way this can happen:

They should win the league next season. Though they'll be facing stiff competition from Norwich, Nottingham and Watford...

Also in worse form than Munir. It's a no brainer to me tbh. It's far from ideal, but right now, Munir is the best available player to pick for the game.

How much are PSG gonna pay for Aurier? We should have got him instead of Douglas. I can see an Aurier saga happening in a couple of years :lol: Also, any word on when we're gonna appeal to CAS for the transfer ban?

I'll only forget it if Mathieu outperforms Benatia.

Better than starting Pedro there.

Would be awesome (compared to signing Douglas and keeping him at Barca at least), but I doubt our board is smart enough to pull that off :(

Or a Tito message (benched in form Thiago for out of form Cesc/injured Xavi).

Lucho's the one who blocked the transfer IIRC. I'm less than thrilled about the Mathieu signing, but I would have been a lot more pissed if we paid 60 million for David Luiz :lol: Has there been a worse deal than this one since Torres? I honestly can't think of one.

:facepalm: Well, it's MD, so it's not done yet.

He should pick Spain. He'd have a harder time making it into Spain's NT, but he has the talent and Spain lack a striker. It'd be pretty dumb to pick Morocco over Spain.

Doesn't mean that not getting him wasn't a mistake. Nor does it mean that we can't point out that it was.

Shady deal, someone trying to steal money from the club, whatever. Anything is better than our scouts actually rating him. Though I wouldn't be surprised if that were the case.
