yall should try and get rafinha, denis suarez, or raktitic with the deal
rakitic would do wonders to your midfield

Agreed. Another player I would love to get is Javier Pastore

I'm a big fan of Rafinha. He needs to leave Barca. Anyone know when he'll be back from injury?

Olé (Argentina's biggest sports periodical) put out a poll asking whether or not Higuaín should be on the WC roster and surprisingly, 69% voted that he should.

He trained with the team for the first time this week. In facts, Match, Don iniesta, & Dembele trained this week.

I mean, he's pretty reliable for every round up to the Final. Just bench him for that one if Argentina end up there

If it comes down to PKs I'd take Romero before Higuain as well

But tbf, since Benedetto is hurt, Higuain is a better overall choice than Aguero anyways. Even though Aguero has played pretty well recently it seems Higuain has stepped up far more than Aguero for Argentina.

I've wanted Chelsea to sign him for several years, super talented

I'd take Icardi on current form, Dybala up there too

RM will be missing Ramos, Carvajal, Casemiro, Varane, and possibly Vallejo tomorrow -_-

Our 4 best defensive players out against Sevilla, and we can't score goals in la liga

Welp, gonna need Ronaldo and Benz to put the team on their back

 

[flyeed]

Wouldn't mind seeing RM just say screw it and go all out attack if Vallejo is out

CR7-Benz-Asensio
Marcelo-Kroos-Modric-Isco
Theo-Nacho-Llorente

Also as talented as Hakimi is, dude's crossing needs a ton of work. Woulda been better off loaning him and getting Mario Gaspar like I said in preseason. We went for years with no real backup for Marcelo, and now we have none for Carvajal while he's missed a ton of matches.

West Hammers!

 

[PRIME]

Agreed. Another player I would love to get is Javier Pastore

He's going to be on his way out soon.

It could be a reality

 

[Armada]

Oh **** I thought Morata was gonna score for sure

 

[Sinner]

2 blown chances.

 

[Armada]

Wow West Ham survive

 

[tomdiginson]

Agreed. Another player I would love to get is Javier Pastore

He would be a great pickup in addition to some young CAm that can learn from him.

In other news, Westham did the Lords Work.

So apparently I missed a Moyes masterclass??

 

[Kimchi Papi]

Bayern up 1 nil on Frankfurt...Werner Bremen up 1 nil on Dortmund. I’ll be somewhat surprised if the club keep Bosz... He keeps getting murdered playing the high back line. It’s become sadly predictable & he does nothing about it.
