This would also be a valid option. Although i am not sure it would fully restore the relationship between Yaya, Pep and perhaps some other players.

Not at all. Its a way to make up ppls mind and show that this is actually a lose-lose situation, and that it cant be reverted. And it should let ppl figure out which loss is the least. the 3rd option i would add would be 'Keep both and accept a 10 pts loss in la liga', displaying the...

Well, it was meant to be like that, otherwise its hardly a choice were you seemingly give up sth ... Generally i was stressing it by putting the whole responsibilty solely on Pep already, when i actually find it very likely that the decision against Yaya doesnt come from him alone. Remember how...

The 'Yaya debate', involving Busquets and Pep, is seemingly getting endless. There however has to be made a solution. Now the facts: Busquets was given more playtime from Pep than Yaya (3458 minutes over 2268 minutes in liga/CL/copa). Now it doesnt matter anymore, if it came from favoritism...

Ok, but the news explicitly state that he is personally requested by Mourinho, which i guess wasnt fixed as new RM coach 4 weeks ago. But ofc, news dont have to be right or fully correct. On the other hand Dzeko would indeed imo more fit to Mourinhos ideal type of lone forward than Higuain or...

I read that too. The transfermarkt.de user even give this transfer a chance of almost 30% to happen, which is fairly a lot. There still seems to be confusion about the source. Actually a lot of paper wrote about it, but they all refer to a Wolfsburg newspaper. They however just refer to some...

I can imagine playing Demichelis over Milito to horribly backfire ...

I still believe they were instrumental in influencing the UEFA to keep out Ribery from the final. Similar to the Frings incident in 2006 that weakened us a lot in the WC semis. And with Ribery on the pitch it would have been a different game as i pointed out. Yesterdays match with the available...

Deserved victory for Inter. Not for their tactical superiority (b/c there wasnt any) but their efficiency and individual skills in having two center backs that are not a complete disgrace for their profession. Bayern had more of the game, and im not talking about ball possession that was...

While my hopes are up for Bayern and the Bundesliga (for the 4th CL spot) i feel like Inter is gonna win this. I think this will be the only match in the whole season where Riberys absence will be the decisive losing factor. Zanetti showed his class in 1-1s vs Messi twice already, and i feel...

van Gaal in Bild: 'Selbst dann, wenn wir heute die Champions League gewinnen, sind wir nur die zweitbeste Mannschaft in Europa. Ich würde den FC Barcelona trotzdem noch immer über den FC Bayern stellen.' Translated: Even if we gonna win the CL tonight we will only be the 2nd best team in...

I agree on the latter two. i also dont mind chelsea vs utd ... but honestly ... pool vs milan? Are you on crack? ;)

When will he be fit again? I cant imagine any team buying or loaning him as long as he is injured ...

Ribery would have been crucial to bind Maicon in the back and he would have had a great chance to dribble knots into Lucios legs. Neither Altintop not Pranjic would be ablo to do that. BOth would try to shut down Maicon defensively ... its a different approach, but offering more chances to the...

I guess vG will play Altintop to block Maicon. But i can also see Robben switching the wings constantly to use the space Maicon opens. Otherwise Olic will come a lot over the left too. Another mad options would be the inclusion of Tymoshshuk instead of Altinop. He used him as 1st sub on the...

the poll asks '... right now' ... so i dont see why i should count in the last 10 seasons

Robben is/was very consistent throughout this season.

I was tempted to add Maxwell too, but then i felt like he didnt surprise me, as he did what i expected him to do tbh.

Pedro the most i say. Milito surprised less with his skill, but more with his seemingly, more or less full recovery. But i would also add Bojan and Valdes here.

I just wanted to state that generally Cesc would be able to play as DM (with some alterations in the defense). I didnt mean to say that he would be able to use his full potential there. So it could indeed be a waste to play him there b/c someone else could do it as good.
