Almost as good as Iago Falque?
The barca reporter who said falque is the best said deulofeu, rafinha and luiz alberto would also be in the run for that title

That said falque never go to show that quality as he wasn't match fit when he joined as was rushed back after a injury. After his injury he reminded of Ruiz, in the sense he was clearly quality but he needed his team to give him ball more to shine

Falque was one of the best if not the best players there BUT after his Nauru others did perform better like Vidal

40% i think.

If Soldado leaves Valencia the Spanish league is going to be an absolute joke next season (if it wasn't already).
It will be interesting if he does Valencia have two choices sell soldado and keep the squad or sell a couple of players. At the moment dos santos is the only guy they have been strongly linked with though matheiu has signed a extension to fend of barca I think, I didn't read it properly just glanced at the headline

I don't see how Ozil, Isco and Ronaldo fit into the same team.

Even the Christmas tree formation won't work
I mentioned in the Bale thread that Madrid despite the bullshit they are looking to build a team with out bale, if ronaldo signs a contract I don't think bale will go there. If ronaldo goes they will go all out for bale

Hope that gundogan news isn't true. Think we all love Dortmund and don't want to see the team broken up, especially to bloody Madrid, and they're constant asset stripping
Unfortunately he has been strongly linked and Dortmund will have a replacement in in the form the guy he initially replaced.

Barca are committed to Neymar to the extent that they put a down payment on him. I think they can mould him into what they want because they player is willing.

He's also a better alternative to the team because he can he can do pretty much everything Messi can do (still raw though) from another side of the pitch. You can't triple team both players because someone else will be open.

Isco would be another Iniesta in that team.

I think Isco is a great buy for anyone, but I honestly don't know why Barca wouldn't rather have bought Isco than Neymar. Neymar is a bag of tricks but is very individualistic, Isco would have fitted their collective style more.

I know this will get WTF'd but I think Barca have massively overpaid for a player who doesn't really match their ethos.
Agree. I can see him going the same way as Sanchez.

So now there's reports Thiago could be offered a new contract from Barcelona and he might end up staying. It sounds like it's pretty much 50/50.

I think if I were him, I'd go to Manchester United. He's not going to get the minutes he would want at Barcelona and he could always just go back in a few years time.

The small number of times I've seen Neymar I haven't been impressed with him at all. Oscar looks a better player to me.

So Chelsea seem close to signing Van Ginkel.

As excited that I am that we are close to signing Paulinho for a reported 15m, Chelsea are hoping to sign this lad for under 10m.

He'll be there new Lampard.

Anyway, we can't sign everyone.

Arsenal and Ashley Williams?

God I hope they sign him.

*sniggers.

Sanchez is very direct but he hasn't been a good fit and has struggled with the system, also he isn't good at the intricate stuff.

They have Tello but they seemingly don't trust him.

Ashley Williams is exactly what Arsenal need and would be a great signing for them

Whilst I agree that Williams 'on his day' is a beast of a defenders - the rest of the time his is horribly inconsistent.

Arsenal at the back have been shambolic in terms of their positioning.

Williams can be just as shambolic with his positioning.
