Yep, going back to his Valencia days he's incredibly negative anytime the pressure is on. His approach to big games is absolutely terrible. Unless you watch his teams consistently you don't know that but it's clear to anyone who does.

I don't rate Emery at all, for reasons i've mentioned many times over. Will prove to be a bad choice.

Good signing for you lot tbh.

Not sure about that like. He's phenomenally amazing, but he's not very midfielder-y. Unless you're Pardew. In which case he should play left-midfield/auxiliary second left-back Just meant he can help in the build up and create chances. Helps to have that if your midfield is lacking, but there's real scenario for the defence like that. Its a negative rather than a plus IMO, he has to come ridiculously deep and do everything by himself because none of their midfielders can get him the ball in good areas Usually I'd agree, depends on what's in front of him i would say. Would argue Dybala being there is a big help from that aspect as he can relieve some of the creative burden from Messi. Dybala won't be playing, they both play in the same space and Dybala was poor when tried out on the wing wanted to see them play together, would still try it tbh think it's the only way they can be successful.

Would have taken Icardi over Aguero tbh if it has to be an either/or situation. Aguero does a lot of similar things that Messi and Dybala does meanwhile Higuain is the only one who offers what he does. In terms of squad balance I think Icardi makes more sense IMO, not that he's better than Aguero though because he isn't.

I think there's options to make the midfield work, especially because Messi is a midfielder and a forward into one. But I don't see any scenario where you can make the defence work.

Defence looks so bad

Thus the gif man.

Benteke is shite, would rather keep Mitrovic.

Honestly i'll be interested to see how fast clubs react this summer, considering the WC and the whole transfer window closing before the season starts thing. Obviously we'll do fuck all as per but everyone else i wonder how fast it's going to happen.

42 Jesus christ that makes me feel old, still remember when he was at Parma.

Buffon is going to PSG isn't he?

Forgot about that.

I'm at the point where I still won't believe it if I see it tbh. Completely understandable.

Seems like he just gets picked because he’s a good egg. Or that he plays for one of the best teams in Italy and still good obviously. But nah couldn't possibly be that.

I'll believe it when I see it.

Casillas was probably at his best when Madrid were shite ironically, always remember this one game against Deportivo I think when he literally made like 20 saves. Once they actually got competent with Pellegrini and later on Mourinho he didn't seem as good.

Sign him tbh, can't remember the last time we had a striker score twice in one whole game!

Without having memory of it all i would guess it's Bonucci as he's a tremendous passer.

Nah, Ryder can fuck off.
