His shooting and technique isn't even all that bad. Just for some reason when he is in front of goal he loses composure 9 times out of 10 and skies the ball. Anyway, let PSG deal with the problem for big wages. Their fans will be booing him 2 months in.

Only impressive saves he makes these days are on 1v1s where he spreads his body and the ball happens to hit him. A top keeper easily smothers the goal tonight. Neuer wouldn't even have to dive for that ball. Would quickly scoop it up and make the save seem pedestrian.

Ship off to United for 100m+ and rebuild the squad.

Koeman vindicated? :thinking:

He probably never thought he would miss the quality of teammates he had at Juventus.

Wow, he's mirroring the Coutinho at Barca arc perfectly. :amazed:

Laporta needs to stay quiet. These are complicated matters and he has embarrassed himself enough already with his failed predictions.

World class Twitter essay incoming! :worthy:

Valverde obviously the much superior manager to Ole, but this situation is reminiscent of when Setien was appointed in place of EV. EV was supposedly this all-encompassing, evil cartoon character holding world-class talents like Arthur, Puig and Dembele back. Setien came in with this aura of...

To be fair this United side makes every side they play against look miles above their normal level. Big clubs that are broken mentally, have given up and in crisis are always prime pickings to receive a thrashing. Liverpool are a cracking side, but Burnley would put up a much better fight...

Klopp has turned these incisive, quick, intricate passing combinations into mere automatisms for those players. We are nowhere near.

Rashford, Sancho, Bruno, Pogba, Maguire.... So many overrated, overpaid players on that United squad. Maybe Ten Hag can remind some of them how to play football again, because apart from Pogba none are leaving.

Not very injury prone and takes care of himself. He is scoring 50+ goals last few seasons. If he comes here and gives us 25-30 for a few seasons and we are able to nick a league title his transfer will be considered a success. Comparable level, fitness and age to Cristiano when he transferred to...

Constant climaxing on this board about "Big Dick Benz" and the supposed inevitability of Real Madrid winning everything every season is nauseating. Benzema doesn't threaten Messi so they are free to praise him freely. This is his best season ever and he hardly has 25 league goals. Meanwhile Lewa...

He can feck off in the summer with his salary demands and all the headaches he has caused the club. We can and should strive for better, but some on here have a fetish for piling on certain players. Against Cadiz Dembele completed the most dribbles of any player in a single match in the top 5...

Rather Lewa for a few seasons while waiting for the next top talent than 50m on some flavour of the month, Jovic 2.0.

15 PL goals at his age in that United side is nothing to scoff at. Very few penalties and has little service most matches.

It is not a lack of intelligence that causes him to vacate his position and go chase the ball higher up the pitch during counters. Busi does this very deliberately. He knows if he tried fulfilling his role as a defensive midfielder he would get skinned alive by pacy attackers on the break and he...

Ideally Fati would remain healthy and we would have a much better RW than Dembele. I am simply offering explanations for why he is playing the way he is, not excuses for his evident flaws that everyone knows by now. Not a goalscorer and not a question of whether he is a better player than likes...

Not that I particularly rate Dembele, but the constant hugging of the touchline and spamming of crosses has mostly to do with how Xavi is instructing him to play. Ferran and Auba are the two main goal targets in this setup. In previous seasons with Messi under Valverde he played on the left and...
