Also, Neymar dives a lot so let's sell him for 20m. Oh, and there was that peekaboo incident with Busquets, let's sell him as well. And Alba dives and threw a ball into Robben's face once. Let's sell him as well.
He isn't running that much more, but he is playing better in the world cup than he did for us last season. Not that I blame him, he had to deal with injuries, shit tactics, the collective shittiness of the team, off the pitch BS, etc.
Agreed (except he won't be THE star of the league until Messi retires or at least until Messi's like 33). Hate how people just look at his average second half of the season and say he flopped, acting as if the first half of the season never happened.
Why we aren't going for Benatia is beyond me. He'd cost about the same as Marquinhos, and we won't have to negotiate with PSG.
He's 4 years younger than Mathieu. 10M for him would be better than 20 for Mathieu. I just hope this Marquinhos deal goes through. Fazio + Marquinhos would be ok, but...
Why are we so obssessed with him anyway? He's not even an attacking RB, he's a freaking winger.
Pursuing an attacking RB I can understand, but a winger with zero defensive ability? Seriously?
