  1. They play better football than the senior team.
  2. For my own sanity, I've cut all ties with FUT Saw a video where some sad bloke splashed $5,000 on packs and the best he got was an 85 rated Legend Ferdinand.
  3. He is seriously taking the piss with those comments. Is he really blaming our attacking players ahead of his conservative approach for our lack of goals? Let it be known that throughout his entire management career, there have been only 2 occasions where a striker has scored more than 20 goals. Costa last season and Tevez 12/13 season. When your striker only has 12 goals, it is hard to fight for trophies. What a load of bollocks. What about constantly playing 5 defenders, even against lower opposition? What about our conservative and passive playing style you love to implement? What about playing Hazard as a false 9 occasion after occasion, even at times when we had strikers fit? What about thinking a 0 -1 defeat to City is a good result?
  4. Reuben Loftus-Cheek needs to be a part of the team next season, regardless of who comes in as manager. He at the very least deserves a shot. From watching him this season, it is evident that he has all the tools to be a success in this league. Physical and technical. He has showed 'moments' of sheer quality this season, to which we need to see more of on a consistent basis. What he needs more than anything, is confidence. No doubt he will be a success here given the opportunity.
  5. We should honestly raid Carles Aena. Class midfielder who could be our Fabregas successor. Strange how Barcelona are moving forward now ignoring their youth.
  6. I can't bare Moses any furthur. His limitations in attack have cost us so much this season. Alonso contributes to the attack. Not in what we want him to do (beat players and whip in a cross) but he is a goal threat when given the opportunity. Still interesting to see how he does at LB vs LWB. Rumors of him leaving might be true
  7. No Champions League. New Manager. We're winning the league mate.
  8. Didn't want Salah, turned into one of the worlds best Didn't want KDB, turned into the best attacking mid in the world Now he doesn't want Martial and prefers a man who will be 30 in the summer. Classic Mourinho
  9. https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/949607/Man-Utd-news-Anthony-Martial-Chelsea-transfers-Willian Mourinho wants to swap Martial with Willian
  10. Ox out for 9 months. Can only imagine complete ACL tear if that's the case. Feel for him. Worst pain I've ever experienced.
  11. Fair point This might be a ploy from SirBalon just for him to give himself an excuse to write a short story
  12. Which was? I'm sorry for asking this all the time, but you really need to expand more
  13. I'd personally be gutted if we sold Alonso. Emerson and Alonso are both great options at LB for several years. Both have their own unique qualities. Emerson obviously should be looked at 1st choice. Cesc on the other hand is my preferred midfielder to be sold first. I prefer having midfielders that can actually run. The way players have ghosted past him this season has been nothing short of criminal. We can find better alternatives in La Liga. Couple of which are Soler and Guedes. We need energy and technical players in our midfield moving forward.
  14. I await the day you bring forth a counter argument for once during your time on this forum. I'm sure i'll be waiting long. Continue to ignore society and the world's views and opinions. Disregard and ignore the members of this forums' views and opinions. Ignore the person who you are arguing with who has an extensive knowledge in critical thinking and understands the foundations in constructing a valid argument. Ignore all that. Your views are the only ones that are right and the world is wrong. And if they refute it, call them names. Because that's what adults do.
  15. Score line was a bit unfair. Much like the CL tie, Barca were effecient in front of goal, we weren't. That blatant foul on Barca's second goal was appalling. This has both us and Barca on 2 titles each.
  16. You really are a sad case of illogical fallacies. Aren't you in your 50's? Anyone who refutes your arguments, you attack their character every time and not bring forth anything reasonable to counter with. This shows your process of thinking and failure to provide any reasoning that renders your argument valid. This is something I'd expect from a child. Always amusing when people think there is something wrong with the world vs themselves. True signs of a psychopath.
  17. Nope. I see a man who's positional sense, awareness, and discipline that isn't good enough to be in midfield. Love how you wont ever consider to lessen your reputation of constantly using ad hominems. God forbid someone disagrees with you. Moran
  18. He's been operated as a attacking forward so far
  19. Luiz in midfield doesn't and never has worked
  20. I can get behind having Kante, Reuben Loftus-Cheek, Van Ginkel, Bakayoko, and two quality centre mids to be honest. Need to put these past couple years of poor transfer activity behind us.
  21. Biggest job in the summer is midfield. As you can see, Kante is the only midfielder we have of true quality, and is picking up the slack of Drinkwater, Cesc, and Bakayoko. Personally think the former two aren't good enough, whereas the only saving grace for Bakayoko is his age and the fact he's in a new league. Hypothetically speaking if our new manager reverts back to a 4-3-3, and we get rid of both Cesc and Drinkwater, this will give way to what, 4 available slots? Loftus-Cheek and Van Ginkel deserve a chance. To which we can invest in two other midfielders of real quality as well.
  22. He was a mercenary and deserved everything he got, which was nothing. What character are you on about?
  23. 3rd final in 4 years for our youth team in the Youth Uefa Champions League
  24. I'm not even baiting you ffs. Do you always have to nibble?
