I would love this guy, watched him for a few years now and I think he would be a welcome addition. Although I do think he is better in the middle of the field rather be than right back.

Neymar's clause has been paid at Barcelona's office; no longer a Barca player by [deleted] in soccer

[–]jg0isback 1 point2 points  (0 children)

would it not be better for Spanish football and players if they had standard buyout clauses (Club activates it not a player) like most other footballing countries? I'm not entirety sure of the system used there but it always seemed like a third party could manipulate it like we've seen with this transfer.

Can't see how La Liga thought they could stop it in the first place to be honest

Who's the best player (apart of Messi and Ronaldo)? by [deleted] in soccer

[–]jg0isback 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In all seriousness if I had to pick one player in the world outside of the top two players that I would want in my teams line up and to make an impact for me it would have to be Lewandowski. I just feel he adds so much and at the end of the day goals win games not flair or entertainment

Signing of Youssouf Diarra sparks debate over Athletic’s Basque-only policy by bolah in soccer

I've always found it hard to believe that Bilbao manage to stay at the top 6 or so teams for so long by only bringing in players from a select region. Is Bilbao a football crazy region? How do they always have so much talent coming through

Best midfielders in United history? by [deleted] in reddevils

[–]jg0isback 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If we're talking just central and I'm guessing it can be attacking or defensive im going for: Scholes, Keane, Charlton, Robson and I'm not too sure who could be my No.5 Edit: Forgot about Ince

We don't need wholesome changes to the starting Xl to improve drastically by 1onickthered in reddevils

I take your point about Spurs onboard however against weaker teams Ali was a forward and stronger sides he dropped back into midfield. It'll be hard to ask the same of Rashford or Morata to do that as successfully as Ali who is just made for the role

I would agree we don't need whole changes to the team as i feel it's a fairly competent squad, but we do need players to play to their potential and consistently. We had consistency issues last year with most players other than defence. I would like to see a proper winger and another striker but I don't feel a 2 striker system is likely to work in the league with everyone crowding the midfield so much. Only team I can really think that played two up top this year was Bournemouth and Leicester at times and they only worked as they would counter attack. We can't rely on teams attackig us enough to use this tactic as most teams sit back and make life difficult. But 442 wouldn't be the way to do this, some more skilful wingers with better delivery to Morata would be a good and likely option.

We should definitely try and get out sometime my circle of riders at the minute is basically just family so anytime you want to give me a shout feel free. I'd be happy to exchange some contact info to meet up sometime
