Is it good enough? It is quantity/depth wise, but quality wise I'm not sure. A lot of teams have more quality at the back than we do. Our only WC CB is Pique when he's on form. Even if it is good enough, it would have been a lot better if we did the smart thing and got Benatia for that bargain...

For those of you saying "we won the CL with Mascherano", we had guys like prime Xavi and prime Alves back then. I'm not saying it's impossible to win the CL with our current defense, but Benatia would have significantly raised our chances of winning the CL.

Probably. We should have bought Benatia instead of wasting our time with Marquinhos. Or instead of buying Vermaelen. Benatia + Mathieu would have been really good. But I'd even have taken him instead of Mathieu. What's the consensus on the fee?

Benatia to Bayern :(

Yeah, I've said it before, Bravo should have come out for the ball in that incident. Not only would he have narrowed the player's angle to shoot, I think he could have got to the ball before the Elche player did.

He's only played one official game, but so far I'm really impressed by him. I've seen some people here saying he isn't world class, but imo it'll be safe to call him that if he performs like this all season, especially in the bigger games. I was expecting him to be more of the kind of guy to...

I know I've asked this before, but where exactly would Reus play again?

Maybe they aren't willing to pay his wages.

If that happens I will change my username to Douglas for a month. I'll put him in my avatar for a month while I'm at it.

Fixed.

Fuck. Worst signing of the summer by far if it happens.

Wish someone would hijack the Douglas deal or something...

Wasn't he playing DM that game?

Depth maybe but quality? I'd take Varane over any of our CBs (except on form Pique).

Modric-Kroos-Rodriguez midfield trio :lol:

From 1 to 7. 1 is the summer signing you think was the best, 7 is the one you think was the worst. Players that returned from loan (Rafinha) don't count. Nor do players signed for the B team (Halilovic). For example: 1. Rakitic 2. Ter Stegen 3. Suarez 4. Mathieu 5. Bravo...

Reliable?

Douglas will be Keirrison/Henrique 2.0 if we get him.

Unfair, but good for us that Simeone got banned. Atletico's definitely gonna drop points now. Tbh, I'm a lot more afraid of them right now than I am of Real.

Of course. He needs to feed his family after all.
