With half of the pitch professionally cleaned and the other half done by an old man with a rake.

Snappy and clever passing instead of a man who looks like he’s screening ALL of the time.

What’s the latest intel with this? I’m sort of deluding myself that he’ll stay here since I’ve not seen any concrete links but pretty sure the idiot wheels will be set in motion as soon as Paredes arrives.

I am genuinely concerned by the fact that Juventus are yet again edging closer on reverting to type simply because we’ve failed to offload Rabiot. Why has everything to do with the club’s ability to plan with a positive and constructive outlook in mind suddenly become so wholly contingent on his...

Beans on toast!!:wine:

Absolutely, putting someone to play the regista role when they have other qualities is kinda redundant and to be honest sort of retarded. I find the need for a regista unnecessary unless we have a player who clearly operates in that role.

Yeah, you could say that. But then you could also raise the point that Juventus’ youth system doesn’t get the fundamentals right in the first place to enable those individuals to succeed. Hence, the players were never going to amount to much anyway, wherever they went. For a bit of a skewed...

Bayern for all of their pillaging of Bundesliga talent have had a great number of HG success stories.

I like Loca in his current number, he’s made it his own imo.

Had a quick scroll through Twitter and didn’t realise there’s actually factions of fans that battle and bitch between Fagioli/Rovella/Miretti. Laughable really.

I think Loca was always going to play more of a holding and covering role with Pogba in the team anyway. Pogba has got presence too. But Fags showed that he can mix in and get involved in that phase too. Short players in the mould of Veratti and Iniesta are always great at intercepting and...

The role fits because he gets up there to link with ADM and takes the creative burden off him whilst he has the guile to mix in with Pogba and Loca. Just love the determination too, it’s what we need more than anything. Hope this is his year because this set up is pretty much perfect for him...

If I’m the manager, I’m thinking about putting him in the starting XI more often than not. I think he complimented and held his own in the midfield that started the game today. Clear quality.

I read it earlier on today, I think it was il Messaggero. Anyway, this isn’t the first rumour I’ve read about Sarri really wanting him. Imo we’ll be fucking stupid to let him go even in some sort of SMS swap deal.

Apparently Sarri really wants him for Lazio.

I don’t know why, but when I saw this thought of Ray Liotta’s Goodfellas character. Hopefully he hasn’t got the same demented/creepy laugh.

Im not going to beat around the bush here, but both of those teams played better football than the constipated flow and paraplegic energy that has been the basis of our play in the last 4-5 years. :lol:

I don’t necessarily think the for’s and against’s are balanced though. Yes it hurts to see Ramsey stay but I don’t think they are two competing objectives. If we wanted to get rid of Ramsey, I doubt Fagioli would have been his replacement, this season at least. The way I think of it is akin to...

I don’t think it was a mistake to loan him. Fagioli needed to go out and show what he could do. It’s all necessary growth. I’d rather have him play a season, start every game and get a bagful of goals and assists in an easier league; growing in confidence compared to playing in the top league...

:lol: you’ve got me there. :grin: Looks like he occupied the left centre side of the pitch too. Lets hope he can keep it up. With Locatelli looking pretty solid at screening (except corners), it could be a nice fit.
