He bosses the game indeed, but he also has Casemiro to cover for him on the defensive side. He is the engine of Mardid team, while Pjanic is more a dispatcher, relay and very-very solid defensively this far without any cover.
Anyway, it's one of that pointless discussions when you are bored at work)
Without any cover? Please, Pjanic showed in 3 Man CM lineups he needs hand holding big time, was liability when given freedom to roam. He has taken big step up in this tactical deep role, more motivated and defensively aware. But no cover is BS, Khedira and Pjanic are doing great, but they are cushioned in by virtually perfect tactical organization and litterally have the backing of Mandzukic and Cuadrado who do insane amount of work to allow our CMs to sit just deep and cut out lanes.



Casemiro is a good defensive mid, but he has been showing as season goes on he is more of a weakness then strength for Real. Gotten so sloppy.

I will remind you of this when you don't have a player who guarantees 20 plus goals anymore.

He is the best striker we have had in 30 years, Im aware of how important he is.

I dont expect you to understand, but some things are more important than how good they are.

He is being disrespectful in how hard he is pushing to leave? Yeah that usually sucks. But in his fairness, he made it clear a long time ago he wants to leave, should been allowed to leave sooner, tho offers dried up.

Thats it, so im have never really taken to him.

I go every game, so the club means alot to me. Hard to really like a player that shows so much obvious disrespect to you.

We have managed in the past without this kind of striker.

And we actually have money now, so I beleive we can fill the gap he leaves, with another or other players.

I think we are playing too hard at trying to keep him.

Lukaku would be a huge waste of money at this point, he's gonna be crazy expensive and I can't for the life of me see how he's gonna play in one lineup with Higuain.
Agreed. Btw I do think highly of Lukaku (many Belgians do not), but I think he's completely the wrong type of player for us. If we got him, one good thing is that he's always willing to learn I guess. But I wouldn't go for him.
Take anyones money, just want him gone.
He might be disrespectful, but you're Everton. I'm sorry, it is what it is.

Respect is respect, regardless of who you are.

Understandable, it gets annoying after a while. Hard to support when the disrespect becomes blatant over time.



You should sign Dembele from Celtic, that kid will score for fun.

Some of the things players say, just dont need to be said.

We know who we are, and while very proud becuase we follow our local family team, we are realistic.

Im not to concerned with who we buy, we are not as skint as we was, we are in Europe for next season, and have some exciting new ground plans.

Sure. But he doesn't care.
And thats why I rather him be sold.

If he doesnt, then he doesnt deserve any further respect from them, as they shown him since he came. Thats all he is saying.
Exactly. He has done the business, so fair play.

Our fav players are never the ones with just the most ability....they have something else, passion, and the bleed for the team.

In other news, why the fuck arent we signing Tielemans this summer? Friend who studies over in Belgium swears by him to me regurarly this season (sees their games), taken big step up he says. And I check around for his season, and the motherfucker has apparently the most goals out of the box in whole Europe in 2017 :D Started to bomb in rockets besides the usual slick midfield creator.

Highly realistic replacement for you that may even surpass Lukaku is this one for you:

Tielemans is a dream midfielder for Juventus. Strong on his feet, powerful shot, creative, strong defensively (when he wants to be). He's perfect for us. My hope is we don't sign him because we sign Verratti :D.

Thats litterally the only understandable reason to not get him :D Only seen half dozens game throughout the years, but there are some talents who just scream MUST sign, and he is rare few for me since the first time I saw him as 16 year old. Seems to grown more physical and stronger, and shares Verratti's attitude of being an eager committing tackler/battler (and having stature for it unlike Verratti).



He is officially not a teen anymore this week so time to join the big boys :agree:





FFS so many screamers scored with ease LOL.

One downside might be money though. Atletico, Bayern and Monaco have all been reported as strong contenders for his signature. But now that we're in the final I'm confident that we could easily afford him.

Tielemans himself might also be tempted to choose team slightly below us. We are possibly the best team in the world right now and at the very least we're one of the top 5. While I believe he could get a lot of games as soon as next season, he might doubt that.

Tbh the more I hear about this guy the more he seems like an eternal prospect to me who'll at most reach some sort of Parolo level.

Never seen him play though :D

Nah I dont worry about other teams anymore, if we want him and big well enough, we can get him. Not for young talents like him atleast, established stars is another matter.


But yeah it would make sense for him to join a non top first, but he might be too good for top clubs to resist so it should quite of a hurry to nab him before anyone does and is set for a decade.



He should defenitely find minutes with us, our entire central midfield are about hardworkers/less attacking players besides Pjanic. If you good enough you will get plenty of time.
