ya if robben hadn't been plagued by injuries he would have been one of the very very best of the past decade+. Whenever he's been in top shape he has been really dominant, but it has seemed like that only happens for a month or two every year.

Robben....

1. Receive ball at right wing.
2. Cuts inside
3. Shoot with left foot

Don't understand how he does this all the time, and yet succeeds so often.

Because he is a superior footballer and athlete to most of the people covering him.

Bales last year at Spurs was like that too. Everybody knew what he was going to do, alot of the time they could do nothing about it. Then he went to Madrid where everybody gotta pass to Ronaldo.

Arsenal...

1. Ozil cut inside
2. Giroud down
3. Some bad player to tap in lose ball

Football is not a very complex game

That remember me to old times:

- Messi dribbles lot of players and gives an awesome assist.
- Pedro fails.
- Messi dribbles lot of players and gives an awesome assist.
- Alexis Sanchez fails.

Haha, yeah the fundamentals of football are very small. However im sure many managers could talk to you for many many hours about complex situations

They've been trying for years with so many different coaches and players. If they actually manage this time it'll be a miracle.

Except juventus rejecting the offer, though 100mil for their worst starter is pretty good imo.

Manchester United have had an £85m bid for Paul Pogba rejected by Juventus, according to Sky in Italy.


I think he is a world class player, hard working box to box midfielder with goals, great passing ability, height but most importantly the flair and finesse to beat a player 1 on1. What other box to box midfielders can do that in the game right now?

The prospect of ManUtd spending so much money on a player they used to have under contract before he was a star amuses me.

Schweinsteiger played a better Euro than Pogba.

He is world class every fourth game and useless in the others, I like him but watching most of Juventus games this season he is probably the most overrated player in the world right now.

Whilst the 1 in 4 might true, at least he is young though, if he gets consistency he could become a premier league gerrard/lampard.

Pogba was the worst French midfielder in euros. If they do indeed sell him for 100 thats some very good business.
