When there were rumours about Wilmots on the move to Schalke, I was just facepalming hard :sergio:

I cannot see anything innovative and I dont see pressing implemented and tbo I cannot even see a gameplan or a clear structure. He looks like a mediocre old school coach and I dont expect him to have a very successful future as club coach.

How du u guys rate Vanhaezebrouck? Seems a special coach
My toughts exactly. And Vanhaezebrouck is quite a good coach. If only he was nt coach

He's not just someone.

Lukaku, like a lot of our players, is strongest when running into space. We have a team that would perform best when it is able to sit deep and counter. Somehow Wilmots has chosen to go a completely different direction. I don't care about that, as long as we win.

But my original point was that Lukaku obviously has flaws. His first touch is horrendous. But he also has very obvious qualities. Would I buy him if I were managing Juventus? No, I probably wouldn't. But you make it seem as if he's not a world class player, while his statistics clearly show he is.
He's noy remotely world class, cause he just scored a good amount in the english paycheck league :lol:

Cmon man, you are trying too hard to be my polar opposite here

Its amazing really, and i wanted to know what people like yourself and @Zacheryah think the Belgian national team owe it to, having produced the generation of players it has. The talent is so incredible, its almost unfortunately also why its so seriously imbalanced. Mindblowing really.

Honestly? I think it's sheer luck.

tuttosport (ftw @j0ker):
- leicester want lemina if kanté is sold, we'll let him go for 20m
- pereyra and asamoah are surely gone
Kante for Lemina and 10M with option to re-buy Lemina for 30M
Pereyera rarely plays... Asamoah always injured...

Na, i doubt it. It can't be a coincidence that an entire generation of players come through the system in this manner. It is absolutely incredible given that the only Belgian national team player that i can remember over an extended period of time before this, has been Marc Wilmots.

So this might be our squad next season:
GK:Gigi, GK, Rubinho
CB: Bonucci, Barzagli, Chiellini, Rugani, CB possibly Benatia
RB/RWB: D. Alves, Lichtsteiner
LB/LWB: Evra, Alex Sandro
CM: Marchisio, Pogba, Khedira, Pjanic, Sturaro, Lemina and maybe another CM
CF/SS/Winger: Mandzu, Dybala, Berardi, Zaza

With this setup I can only see some quality lacks in the attacking department other than that it is a great squad.

    Luc Nilis and Enzo Scifo?

    [...]
    rubinho's contract expires, with the new rules, he won't be given a new contract. we have a quota of 17 non-homegrown/non italian-grown players, we won't waste any of those on rubinho. mirante and audero are likely to be our 2nd and 3rd gk's.
    i'd fap all over pjanic but can't see that happening.

    Schifo, definitely yes. Nillis, not as much for Belgium as for PSV. Wilmots just has the most distinct memory of the lot, but id factor in Scifo too.
    Honestly the only other two I remember fondly off the top of my head are Emile Mpenza and Michel Preud'homme :D

    Lol. Scifo is of Italian descent, schifo is an Italian word often used to say something is disgusting or sucks, etc.

    so according to tutosport, Pjanic will be done dealio soon!.

    We should go all naive and believe that crap?.... i wanna ride the summer rollercoaster!
    Tuttosport or Ruttosporc as we italians refer to (dirty burp) is good as toilet roll.
    They have associated every single player on planet earth to move to Juve.

    - - - Updated - - -

    According to the rumors on Pjanic Beppe is waiting for Roma because they have to get atleast 30M from sales until the end of the month(FFP).
    So he's trying to low down the price and not pay the clause.Rumors from calciomercato say 30-32M + bonuses.

    He probably knows something,that maybe there are no other clubs willing to pay the clause...
    Although I agree our chances have increased, it's still a very complicated deal. At the moment no more then 40% chances, regardless of Calciomercato optimism...

    Id say our chances for panic were always around the 40% mark and I think they're going higher with each passing day that he doesn't get signed by another team buying out his clause this month.

    Keep us updated if there is anything worthy from Italy.;)

    Agree,
    They will be in a rush for the money towards the end of the month.
    Hopefully no other clubs will jump in.
