So, basically, he's staying. Pedro is as good as gone.

Any one of MSN can play on the wing. Munir can play there as well. Sandro should probably stay as a striker, imo. Rafinha would be the best option if we're going to play a midfielder up top.

I still prefer Munir. Sorry. He's a better fit despite not making everybody go starry eyed every game. Unless Sandro works on his game intelligence and develops a style that goes deeper than dribble towards goal and fire a rocket he'll probably remain behind Munir in order as well. I will admit...

Deulofeu was several times the player Adama is currently. The difference between the two is one was the best player in the Segunda at 17 while the other one hasn't done anything at all of note at an older age.

Not sure why everyone likes to use Morata as an example whenever discussing sales for our players. Morata was actually quite a solid goalscorer despite his poor track record among Madrid fans and media and it was proven that he is capable of performing at the highest level when he scored against...

It seems someone doesn't know the difference between a CM and a DM...

If Bravo lets a goal slip through his fingers because he hasn't practiced palming and catching all summer I'm sure how much he runs will be the only thing anyone cares about. I've played goalkeeper for years (Obviously not on the same level) and to suggest they need less training because they...

Was he really so bad that Lucho would rather call up Gumbau than have Song train and tour with the rest of the team? We could have surely brought his price up a bit if we let him have a good showing during preseason with us. Or perhaps Gumbau overall is just a huge anomaly that can't really be...

Especially after his seemingly arrogant comments made when it came to the keeping position. Mats looks to be working hard for more time while Bravo seems to think he's entitled to it by now.

But it's got to be better than over here, where there is no grass.

With the B team playing in the local park league, how does an individual watch their games every week?

He'll have so much space in the EPL that it'll practically be inviting him to go on those crazy dribbles of his, and since he's such a tank he's not likely to get pushed off the ball- ever. The English fans will think he's the goat and we'll be forced to sell him for his release clause. I can...

There is, but you obviously care as little as you ever have. It's like trying to convince a City fan that Busquets is better than Yaya Toure and that choosing him was in fact the correct decision.

Samper? You still don't rate him?

As if that matters. He took broke his vacation early because he felt there was competition, so him not cutting his break short now clearly means he feels his position is pretty damn secure. The thing is, Messi and Mascherano are even more secure in their positions than he is and they're back and...

Beating the Chelsea defense and putting one past Courtois is quite a feat of skill. Even Messi has an incredibly difficult time putting one past this guy. He's a great player but I'm worried by his lack of game IQ. His movement and intensity are great but while he's more likely to produce more...

One would have to question what game you were watching to think he looked very good last night.

Do they now? That might actually be in our favor. I hardly rate Benitez as a coach and he will have an inevitable settling in phase when the season first starts up. Great news.

We'd unlikely be able to sell a cup tied player to a club good enough to sign him. If he stays he might as well stick around until next summer when hopefully Munir and Sandro are ready to take the torch full time.

He played as RB in two games and in both cases he did a much better job than Adriano, who was not even as good as Douglas.
