I'm curious as to how you are even comparing Rakitic and Modric. They both are CM's, I agree, but the similarities end there. Their roles are vastly different right now at Barcelona and Madrid. Modric is a player who sets the tempo for the team. A conductor in the center of the park who...

If Everton are so good as you say, they'd be fighting 5th place minimum every year. Lukaku isn't good enough for Barcelona, period. Galoway is too young to even talk about. Barkley and Stones are talented, but it's not a guarantee that they'd be a massive upgrade over what we have. Coleman is...

What? he isn't carrying Spurs like Modric or Bale did.

:rofl1:

Depay and Martial are MILES away from being compared to Goetze, James or Neymar. Goetze was one the best CAM's in the world with BVB. James was consistent for a while with Porto, was Monaco's best player, and had an amazing WC. Neymar is Brazil's golden boy, and was practically carrying the...

People didn't vote for Busquets because they thought that MSN, iniesta etc. were more important. Balon D'Or voting is fundamentally flawed in the sense that Bravo could hypothetically vote for Medel, Sanchez and Messi as his top 3 and Busquets in top 10. Hence, Medel would be in the 59 man...

He carried the team, and more importantly gave them belief that they could genuinely win the title. Players like that are rare. Suarez is probably the player who we'll have to depend on to lead us through this tough period. The guy just doesn't know when to give up, he's going to fight, chase...

Didn't Lelouch die already? :p 6 weeks are going to be really hard. He was starting to get into top form too. Time for Roberto to either show his worth as CM, or somehow bribe FIFA for Turan.

I absolutely love how optimistic our forum is.

:lol: Do you know how teams close out games? Neymar isn't the first player to dribble down at the corner flag, nor will be the last one. I'm not here to cover up for Neymar, I'm here to make you see sense instead of letting you hate on Neymar for doing something most footballers would do if...

Can FIFA stall this until January and then give a reply? 'Cause that's what it looks like at this point of time.

You want Neymar to start an attack in the 93rd minute, and leave us prone to a counter (which we're practically useless against at times) in a close game, in which the opposition were playing out of their skins? Interesting.

Using that logic, Mascherano would be a "better fit" as a CDM for Barcelona than Busquets. However that's clearly not true.

I don't think that's a bad decision, to waste time near the corner flag with only one minute to spare. In fact, a lot of teams do that. How is that a bad decision to try and run down the clock?

A ligament tear is miles away from getting rest.

Munir is an attacker, I don't expect him to be a creative genius at passing. He's a player who looks to keep the play going and finish, as is Sandro. You're expecting creativity and vision from an attacker, which is quite rare. Using your logic, Etoo and Villa won't have been great Barcelona...

Having a player who is overly talented in one thing doesn't really give you a massive advantage as a squad over a player who is well rounded in multiple roles, especially if we're talking about a position as an attacker in Barcelona. In Barcelona, you have be talented in multiple aspects to be...

Aguero is definitely better than every player in the league. Right below him come Silva, Hazard and Sanchez. Then the others.

In three years, we're looking at prime or almost at their prime, Lacazette, Griezmann, Benzema, Lloris, Areola, Pogba, Varane, Laporte, Kondogbia, Kurzawa, Coquelin, Sakho, Umtiti, Fekir, Martial all in the same team. That doesn't look like dark horses, they'd be one of the favorites.

Could work, but Alves isn't that great at finishing. Would provide us better defensive stability on the right though.
