I think Klopp would use him well and he'd continue to grow. Under mou I'm not so sure. His record with emerging talents is rather patchy. | ||

He reminds me to Dani Alves with Guardiola. | ||

Obviously he's an excellent player and probably not totally happy where Arsenal is, but I still find it a bit weird that there seems to be multiple teams competing on him right now. Has something changed from the summer? | ||

He is now free without Neymar in front and his association with Messi is magic, they play as duo as if both shared the same mind. 8 assists to Messi already. He reminds me to Dani Alves with Guardiola. Alba has always been amazing, but this year it's crazy. They don't need a left winger, Alba can take the whole left side. I'm just afraid about what would happen if he got injured. Also, them passes from Messi are from another world. | ||

However I don't understand how André Gomes can still be preferred to Denis Suarez, I suppose he has a sextape of Bartomeu and Valverde or something, it's the second season where he is clearly not at the level, I would even say that he looks terrible in comparaison of his teammates, he is so freaking slow and takes no risks, he brings nothing to the play, on contrary, he freezes it. However, Busquets, Alba, Messi, Ter Stegen, Vermalen, Umtiti are on point this season, L. suarez seems to come back at his normal level, they can take it all honestly. | ||

Its literally the best 2 players combo in the world right now On January 12 2018 08:19 Bacillus wrote: Why are multiple teams after Sanchez right now? Is it because he's not involved in UCL yet? Obviously he's an excellent player and probably not totally happy where Arsenal is, but I still find it a bit weird that there seems to be multiple teams competing on him right now. Has something changed from the summer? Yes, its winter. Arsenal held onto him gambling they could convince him to sign a new contact, He didnt sign a new contract and there are only 6 months left so he is significantly cheaper now. Naturally Arsenals negotiating ability is now in the bin so the base bid for a player like him is lower than it normally would be. Therefore everyones throwing their hat in. With the 100's of millions that people have been spending even if Sanchez goes for like 50 something million most teams will consider that a coup. Also; Chelsea Stadium getting shit on by the "Crosthwaites". DONT FUCK WITH THEIR SUNLIGHT BITCHES, k? | ||

We are removing the train track in their garden for free, whilst giving them a nicer stadium to look at as well. When the council/london mayor are all in favor and signed off on the plans, all these people can do is delay the inevitable which is silly! | ||

Thats the whole point, delaying it costs you more money than just paying them 8 times your initial offer so you will pay them 8 time what you wanted to pay them and they'll just sell their house to cash in again. If only they were in the same council that actually wants this and not the neighboring one that opposes it. Ergo, dont fuck with their sunlight bitches. | ||

So I wonder if Real Madrid can at least give a shot in this season's Copa del Rey? Real Madrid a team who had to rob even an Arthur-less Gremio (who had 10 days to prepare for the Club World Cup, not half a year) of a penalty on Ramiro (made by Sergio Ramos... oh surprise!) among all calls and weak calls being called on their favour. And let me not mention the fact that they played a training match on semi-final (in the final's stadium as well) against a team that didn't win any continental and got rolled easier by the CONCACAF champions (having had FOUR gouls scored against them in the 3rd place match) than by Madrid. By the way, is there any european league now that you didn't know the champion already? Which doesn't mean that much, here 2016 was fixed for Palmeiras, and 2017 league was fixed for Corinthians... PS: Arthur got injured because Gremio was cheated by a chilean referee in Porto Alegre, even in the presence of VAR, which is just another tool to only benefit who interests FIFA. | ||

Portuguese league is still up for grabs, with the main three in the race: Porto - 45 Sporting - 43 Benfica - 40 Tho the only games worth watching are the ones among the big three and maybe Braga too. While not a top league, you will be watching some future top la liga/premier league players.  | ||

Dutch league isn't decided yet. Portuguese neither. Of the big ones only Italy might be exciting. E: I guess in England it's possible City implodes, but not very likely. | ||

I guess when you say "This spanish league has already been decided from the start, like the previous season. " you are talking about referees helping Real Madrid. Because last season Barça finished only 3 points behind Madrid. About this season I only see Atleti with a chance (9 points away from Barça) now that they have Costa again. But Barcelona should screw it too much, and they are playing their best football of the season now. So it is almost impossible. | ||

Same old issues. 1. Playing baka when he offers absolutely nothing. For all his size, he can't help control the midfield. 2. 3-5-2 being ineffective yet again. Morata so isolated. The formation relies on individual brilliance rather than tactical offense.. | ||
