I was wondering, why haven't we be interested at all in Bakayoko? He looks good for the role next to Pjanic. A bit raw, but not too much. He could be a good DM for us for years to come..

We should sign him. I mean really. No 2 ways about it. We have a good relationship with Raiola. Right on time Buffon is leaving. I don't think he will have any issue for 1 year co-existing with Buffon. And to be honest, something like this is the only way we would be signing him.. just go for it..

So Monaco it is.. and the first leg away. Couldn't get any better than this. If we take this seriously, we're in the final already. I think it's time to start looking for Cardiff tickets. Forza Juve..

Haven't​ been so excited for a match for ages.. forza Juve..

The plan B was exactly what I was mentioning. And Sandro is supposed to be this. Obviously Allegri, sees some really great advantages in 4-2-3-1. So, great, that he thinks its worth keep playing this formation. Also, what you and me think that is worth having, doesn't matter very much. The...

Barca's team, apart from their attack, are really mediocre to bad those days. The goalkeeper-defence-midfield is the 5th or 6th best between the remaining CL teams. Without Xavi and Alves, with an ageing Iniesta, Masche and Pique and an inconsistent Rakitic, you really have difficulties creating...

How sure you are about this? From 1-10, how confident? And why? Btw, for me Barca, was the team I wanted the most from the 4 big ones (Real, Bayern, Atleti) and I can tell you exactly the reasons why.

No it's not crazy. Being a coach means you should also have an alternative solution. Some kind of plan B. A change in case of and injury. You shouldn't go all in and at some point find yourself fucked. Since we converted to 4-2-3-1, we have been really thin in attack. Since Pjaca got injured...

I think that if we don't start Sandro, it will be purely so we can have a game-changer on our bench. If we're starting Sandro, we will be playing an almost full strength starting lineup, attacking wise at least. Imagine introducing Sandro near the 65th minute as a LW against a tired Mascherano...

Just found this one in YouTube while searching for analysis videos for tomorrow's match: Nice one. Nice editing. Fitting music (although not a big fan of this genre). Fitting slow motion. And some really nice footage. Got me really pumped up..

Well.. it kind of is. On the other hand, when you watch a 2 minutes video and everything that came from Barcelona follows the same template, that should tell you something.

I should have missed the payment in my bank account for my professional scouting report, so I have to watch full matches of teams I don't care about. Sometimes, through a video including 3-4 attacking and defending efforts, combined with the score, lineups etc, you can get a general idea about...

I saw the highlights from the Barca game. They look disconnected, slow and without any clear idea of what they are trying to do. Based way too much on individual brilliance and waiting for something to happen. Us on the other side, although I have serious concerns about our tiredness pilling up...

His performances the whole of last season have been WC. His performance last night were top 3 keepers on the world right now.

How would you feel about Schmeichel being the short term replacement to Buffon in a couple of years when Gigi retires? If we don't manage to sign someone younger, he looks like one of the most value for money keepers around. Quality player and wouldn't be very difficult to get from Leicester I...

Indeed. Damn, stuff like this make me realise how old I am. However, when Barca got Thuram and Zambrotta from us, I thought that alongside their world class attack, they would conquer Europe for the next 5 years. For some reason (probably called Rijkaard) none of those succeeded. In general...

Zambrotta was a world class fullback in his days with us. The best left back in Europe alongside Roberto Carlos. I remember in our 4-4-2, Neddy was cutting inside becoming a kind of AMC behind the strikers and Zambrotta could easily cover the whole flank. Very technical and intelligent player...

I love journalism like "Sanchez wants out of Arsenal because of the lack of silverware, his preference is Italy with his choice being between Juventus and Inter". So, some guy wrote this and someone else reviewed it, both finding it fine. That "Inter" at the end made none think something like...

Hints of Pjaca not working hard enough by Allegri? Actually, it was a straight accusation more than a hint. And it's not usual from Allegri to openly criticizing players like this..

I will wait to confirm this opinion at the end of the year but for now, I think that Pogba is our Zlatan. An awesome player, without who we play much more fluidly and more like a team.
