I think Lindelof is an absolute hack. Like a guy who lied on his resume but somehow got the job anyway. Now he's way out of his depth, just faking it, shuffling blank A4 papers, tapping on his keyboard and pretending to be on his phone every time someone walks past.

We have 3rd best defensive record in PL and that's with De Gea having shit season. Saying that yeah Lindelof should be replaced, he is too passive for CB.

And we have the best defensive record in Serie A but if you watch us game in, game out you'd see that we can't actually defend for shit. But yea, I know what you mean.

Or maybe people judge their own players very harshly as they watch every min, whereas people watch highlights of other teams?

Usually fans nitpick every detail of their own players.

Anyways there will be always scope for improvement, for Manutd we should upgrade on Lindelof. Since we signed Bruno our defensive record is very good too but playing him makes me nervous all the time.

Handanovic effect my man.

Maguire is not bad, just not worth the money United spent on him.

:lol: You also think Serie B has quality.

Wow. Lazio seem to be getting David silva who at even 34 is far far from past it and still one of the best players in the Premier league. If they keep their star players and get a good cb they will be a force.

I believe the best clubs in any second league might hold a gem of a player. That was the point of that discussion, ergo Serie B can have quality.

He's not in his prime anymore, but he's still a top class player that makes a difference. Apparently Lazio offered him 50k a week and Silva is looking for options around 90k. I'd honestly go for him on a short term contract if his wages aren't very high.

Lazio with SMS, Luis Alberto, David Silva as options in midfield would be set. A few additions in other areas and they could potentially compete again for the title.

It's hard for Serie B to have quality when Serie A can't even compete in Europe hence by quote in my sig. Then maybe quality for you is Serie B.

I also like how you put a gem of a player in Serie B as something that would put up the whole division to "quality-standards". :lol: I will stop, this is way too funny.

I think that would be true of players who rely on speed and stamina but I think David silva has another 2 years to play at a top level. I think lazio are still getting a world class player rather than some washed up 34 year old has been that usually seems to be the case when top players reach a certain age.

But Sancho to ManUtd is so funny when you have in mind everything ManCity project under Pep is about. This kid, finally their own top talent whome they didn't need to buy for gazillion pounds, is going to bring massive fortunes to some German club and to their most hated rivals....Layers of intense regret they are going to face year in, year out, while watching him making Old Traford crowd crazy with his talent, is beyond compare.

Just from that point of view he is worth every penny for ManUtd. I mean, even paying Dortmund all that money can be viewed as a slap in the face for ManCity. This case is way worse than, say, Zaniolo.

It's hard to say. It all depends on how David Silva will act when he comes to Lazio. Will this be his retirement home or a chance to push even more?

City just splashed 50m for Nathan Aké, what the flying fuck. :lol:



What is so odd with the Nathan Aké deal? I'd rather spend 50m for him than 87m for fucking Maguire.

They just spent 50m on a backup central defender from a relegated Bournemouth side. How is that not sickening at all?

Arsenal are close to finalizing Willian deal, apparently it's 3+1 year deal on huge wages.

It's amazing how fucking clueless few are.

He is home grown player and also good with passing, it was always 40+ million transfer. They are also losing Eric Garcia. They need player who will be counted as HG.

Pep cried about losing players as they were not able to complete transfers, might have added sone pressure on city management.

His youth career was primarily at Feyenoord before transferring to Chelsea when he was 16. In what world would he count as "home grown"? Unless that term means something different in the PL than it does in Serie A...

He is HG player in UK and for Chelsea he is academy player. He spent 3 years in the country before he turned 21 which means he is HG player.

Also Lukaku is HG player, same with Schneiderlin.

How is that clueless? Free agent veteran, winger, just what they've been looking for. Maybe that 3rd year might be too much, but it's still worth to get those 2 good years in Willian (not saying he can't be good after those 2 years).

Rumors go that Benfica have signed Cavani for 9m€ per season. Wow if true (if it's net, of course)

How about an exchange CR7 for Icardi. Wouldn't be nice to give Icardi some more hate?
