Defender for next season?

[Metaphysical]

yes but Chiellini is a LCB, so could play LB in a back 3.

not that I want us to get him. he'd flop hard playing for us owing to his style and the fact that he's Italian (when has an Italian ever performed for us?) and as you say woobie, he's not as solid as he used to be and Juve would never sell him anyway (especially as Conte is also fond of playing a back 3).

we don't need, nor should we move for, either guy. we should spend our money on an LCB/LB that would actually fill the hole Abidal has left.

Fuck the defense.

style must go on.

Fuck the defense.

style must go on.

How about this, how tasty would this lineup be, even though Dani Alves isn't in it...

David Luiz

I dont get what people like in David Luiz, he's probably the worst player, positionally that i've ever seen..

Am I the only who isn't keen on the idea of puyol playing as a regular CB next season, he looked fallible on numerous occasions last season but people were more happy to lay the blame on Pique's door (though Pique did mess up too). He is 34 and has a major recurring knee injury. We shouldn't rely on him as a regular IMO.

 

[woobie]

No, estranged, you're not. But it does seem that for some, the talk about strengthening the defense is less fun than buying a new AM or winger.

Obviously Ini and Cesc would interchange with Sanchez/Xavi/whoever. If we lose the ball with Alves up the field, Bale drops back, the defence moves over and becomes a back 4 with Busquets protecting in front of them. With Bale roving up the left than Alves can get back to RB, they move over and vertonghen becomes LB. With Iniesta/sanchez and Bale up the left, Alves up the right with Messi and movement and tiki-taka...marvellous. Villa, imo should be played out and out striker, not wide left.
Just an opinion

and then alves should play on the wing and if we lose ball puyol will replace him and defence moves forward and messi will cover him and then they play tiki-taka and then iniesta will change with cesc and then on the other flank bale will do overlapping and underlapping runs and alexis will beat the defenders ther. also adriano will play ther and drop back and then pedro will come and beat everybody. just marvellous. and villa will hit the post and messi will score the rebound but then villa is offside and they will lose to real madrid and tito getting sacked and mourinho will come and bring neymar, zlatan and CR. marvellous.
