Had to watch this in a pub today. Can't abide by the hangers on that just shout the loudest to show their "passion" despite telling everybody all year how much they hate football.

Is Valverde going to try and make the play more expansive next season?

You been on the blower to Florentino like?

He reminds me more of a young Burt Reynolds.

Without asking permission, Kylian Mbappé has burst into footballing history https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/jul/04/france-kylian-mbappe-closer-summit-argentina?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Copy_to_clipboard

The midfield need to give the centre backs some options when they have the ball.

Sterling makes some really good runs but we haven't got the players with the technical ability to pick him out.

Makes sense if Dembele is looking for a move.

Has Wilmar Barrios been linked with anybody? Think he'd be class alongside Shelvey.

I don't think Pique has long left either, although they do have Mina to integrate.

They need to look at replacing Suarez. Although he's still better than most he's not the force he once was.

Up there with Aubameyang and Lacazette.

Spot on Yorkie.

He's 31, barely played in the last two seasons with known issues over fitness and attitude. Plus Dortmund are already top heavy in his position. Loved him when he was here but his time has came and gone now, as triggs said he's best off going to somewhere that he'd be the main man.

So precious man.

They'd be best off staying well clear.

Sokratis confirmed at Arsenal.

What makes things like that more annoying is that the majority of those are due to his own mismanagement.

He'd be more like £25m. They just sold Berisha to Lazio for €7.5 Million. Approx the same amount of GPG between them. No they didn't.

Plus he's wearing number 4.

Ritchie was poor for a lot of last season. I understand the qualities that he brings such as being a leader and protecting Yedlin but based on what Rafa got out of Townsend I'd take him over Ritchie in a heartbeat.

Tagliafico & Banega (getting on) have been decent like. Icardi, Dybala & Pavon sounds good going forward though. Messi could obviously still be on the scene & effective in 4 years if he stays fit. Even if Messi's legs and agility go he could easily perform the Riquelme role at 34/35. Hope he doesn't retire because he has another WC in him if he wants it. Messi isn’t someone who can slow the game down, that’s not and never will be his game even as he ages. He’s finished at this (iternational) level now. A sub at best in 4 years time, but I feel his inclusion may be a detriment to the whole pysche or team dynamic of Argentina at that stage. Like taking Maradona to ‘98... 1994.

Wouldn't mind the Colombian Wilmar Barrios who plays for Boca.

Christian Bassedas might have even got a game for this lot.
