Yes, let's buy Gustavo and turn him into a CB

By not technical I meant not very agile or quick footed ala Di Maria, Neymar, Iniesta, etc. Di Maria (when on form) would make a mockery of any defender of ours, his movement and trickery makes him almost impossible to mark. Bale is being overrated in this scenario, he uses speed and power. It makes him a great asset if they are lacking in that area (which they aren't), but he's not that hard to mark comparatively and doesn't have a notably great footballing brain or skill.

So what, Madrid will have a great counter attacking team, and we will be sorry if our defense fails to improve. You all underrate speed and power by saying he's got no brain. I disagree. It's just a shorter way to goal than dribbling. And very effective way too. And after all it's what they want, it's their style of play.

Hopefully RM doesn't get to have both of CR and Bale in their team.

Our pursuit of a central defender is not going good at all.

Is Levy really going to sell? I mean at this point it just seems like stupid, empty words from both sides when it's glaringly obvious how unreasonable the terms are and how little needed of a transfer it is. I think even Ancelotti said that Bale isn't a priority for him, which wouldn't matter to Perez but would make it clear to Bale that he isn't really wanted there. The Bale rumors just seem to be getting more and more plastic as the days go on, I'm doubting whether anything materializes.

Even if it does, I'd actually rather have Bale than Di Maria on that right flank. Bale can shoot from long distance, but he's a speed monkey and not great technically. Di Maria, on the other hand, is a FAR trickier player and those kinds are much harder to handle, especially for fragile defenses.

As for other players, it's quite obvious Real Madrid have coherence and a great squad this year. We have to match it with insane motivation and tactical fluidity. Alba and Alves will have to stay pinned to the wingers and put their defensive duties first, otherwise we leave open too much space for their attackers to exploit and create scoring chances with ease.

It's been reported today that Bale has told his Welsh team mates that he will NEVER play for Spurs again .

David Luiz has been informed Barcelona are still interested in case Chelsea's 50M asking price drops. Player leaves it to the clubs. [md]

 

[Zincubus]

If David Luiz had said all these things surely he'd have Tweeted something similar ??

Luiz Gustavo to Barca ? as a keita replacement ? LMAO, what was song signed for ? lol goaaal is rubish.

But reading that made me think, with our obsession to convert DMs' into CBs' it can't be an impossibility surely.

Seriously, the amount of money we waste here and there, had we invested a portion on our scouting network in Belgium we would've a dozen belgium vernane warming the bench in the preseason now. And a couple of neymars' too.
