Oh, he's actually starting tonight. Cool.

Werder are giving them oceans of space in their defense. It's a miracle Bayern aren't up by at least a few more. Lewa with 2 gigantic misses so far.

Everything so far suggests that it will either be a loan or a sale with buy-back. We're not letting him go without a leash...

Exactly. And if we take a look at how and why they left, it's in nearly every single case either because they were no longer good enough (either because of age, or just lacking skill), or in a few instances they left on the odd controversial term Laudrup and Figo obviously). Nothing suggests...

Yeah, that was a bloody good strike. You just knew it would go in as soon as it fell like that to him. Aaaand 2-0 Lewa.

Does anyone know how he's been doing at Malaga during the preseason?

What Messi983 said seems very plausibly. Perhaps there's also a bit of a grudge involved, with the board being pissed that he didn't accept a move back home to Brazil, and now just want to get rid of his face no matter the price.

What's your expectations for Vestergaard? Do you think he'll be able to cement a place in your 3 man defense?

I only started watching him last season because of the hype surrounding him, and I thought he was awfully error prone - easily the worst amongst the young CB stars out there. Apparently he was better during the 13/14 season where he blew up, but I can't comment on that because I barely watched...

City is a bad pull as I see it, and Mönchengladbach could have much better too. I don't know how Celtic is nowadays, but it could obviously have been a lot worse. All in all I'm just glad we're not going to Russia during the middle of the winter.

God damnit, I'm not prepared for this. I want us to demolish Pep and Bravo, but defeats would be hard to stomach.

Cheers. It makes sense I've never heard of him, let alone seen him play, then.

Cruyff - success Neeskens - success ? Koeman - success Witschge - pass (good player, but no room at the time) Cruyff Jr - flop Reiziger - pass (solely because of the sheer amount of matches he managed, because he really wasn't very good) Hesp - flop Bogarde - flop Zenden - pass Cocu - success...

Sorry buddy. It's just that Bar€a and R£al Madrid doesnt have the same ring to it as P$G. Nah, P$G is good. Please don't come at me with your crew again :(

They're being slaughtered, 3-0 so far. Edit: make that 4...

Oh no, what have you done, Piqué :lol:

That's true. However - this is just speculation on my part - perhaps Lucho sees slotting Gomes into the DM spot as a way of giving him minutes in a pretty congested midfield. As far as I recall, he played very deep at times in the Super Copa, which could hint to this being the case.

Yeah, I know. It just doesn't make sense in my world to do it now, especially not if it's just some sort of contractual stunt.

It makes no sense whatsoever to suddenly start playing him as a pivot this late in his career.

I think Masch has his spot secured for most of the season, no matter his or Umtiti's performances (more or less of course). His presence in the team is too valuable and easily transcends basic defending skills such as tackling, heading, positioning and so on. I think the plan is for Umtiti to...
