Re: Transfer Rumours V4
True enough. I do believe Pep over exaggerated often, but in a way I see his point in what he's trying to say. At times theres are things he says to motivate his players, or give them confidence. I don't recall him saying CB, but as a left back in Messi case.The Franchise wrote:No, he is much better than him. Mandzukic would be his back up. Obviously, I cant be 100% sure of that, it depends on performance. But no question he will play a bigger role at Bayern.
Pep is waffling, he said Lahm can play striker and Messi can play centerback. When he was out of work he said Falcao is the best striker in the world inside the box. Cant take what he says seriously.
And Messi cant play on the wing anyway, he will get upset because he wants to play middle and he wont track back.
"Messi wins the ball playing as the false No.9. If you put him at left-back, he would be just as good. He is the best defender in the world," Guardiola told reporters.
I guess that would be the main problem handing over some else the centre role instead of Messi.

Yeah leftback, I dont remember. But yes, your right. He is only saying it for a reason, that fully acceptable.
All I mean was, I dont think what he says about Mandzukic to be so literal. I am sure he really likes him, but if Lewa comes, he will play ahead of him I am quite sure.

His mind is set on Bayern, and that's where he's going, that's the end of it.
Wouldn't mind him coming to Barca for free as I quite like Lewandowski, but it's just not going to happen.

Re: Transfer Rumours V4
Yes, I agree with you Lewy will bench Mandzukic, as I said earlier Lewy I believe offers more in terms of team play, which is what Pep looks for a lot in his players. However how do you bench a player who contributed to a treble and whatever Pep/BM win this season?The Franchise wrote:Yeah leftback, I dont remember. But yes, your right.

Re: Transfer Rumours V4
Lewa free would be an awesome signing. We could play him as a striker vs park the bus teams and the rest of games he could alternate bench with wing play. Messi wouldn't feel bad as he would still play mostly as a striker and we would have a great striker at 0 cost. We wouldn't even need to sign Draxler or Reus for the right wing.

Re: Transfer Rumours V4
Is there another mandzukic out there we could sign if Lewa doesn't come? a great header cheap and unknown that would accept rotation?

Mandzukic hasnt been and likely would be the sole or even one of the main reasons they won and could win, so I doubt they will think twice about.

Well Eto'o departure had more to do with personal issues with Pep.The Franchise wrote:Same way you sell Etoo after winning everything.Winter is Coming wrote:Yes, I agree with you Lewy will bench Mandzukic, as I said earlier Lewy I believe offers more in terms of team play, which is what Pep looks for a lot in his players.

Re: Transfer Rumours V4
Montero seems an interesting option, although I see he is quite short, but maybe he is a great header. Like Falcao, who is short and is an elite header.The Franchise wrote:Javier Hernandez, Eren Derdiyok, Cardozo, Fredy Montero (scored 4 headers, 6 goals overall from crosses and 9 goals total this season already).free_cat wrote:Is there another mandzukic out there we could sign if Lewa doesn't come? a great header cheap and unknown that would accept rotation?
Never heard of Derdiyok, doesn't seem to be a starter or score a lot.
I don't think Cardozo is good enough, neither aerially.
Hernandez would definitely work but would cost quite a lot and I don't know if United would depart with him.

Hernandez can't pass for shit. I think he would be a horrible match for us
And please, no more Lewa talk. It's pointless he doesn't want to come here.

You don't know it for sure. Also, it seems Pep is not very willing to buy him. We'll see, but it would be a great signing.

Re: Transfer Rumours V4
Agree, I had no idea about him before he came to Sporting this season and looking at him, doesnt look dangerous in the air. But he has good positioning and those 4 headers he scored already plus 2 more from crosses show he knows how to handle himself.free_cat wrote:Montero seems an interesting option, although I see he is quite short, but maybe he is a great header.

Derdiyok been inconsistent for alot of his career, but he is really really talented. Not someone we would even look at usually, but someone I think who's record doesnt show his real quality.
I dont like Cardozo, never have really. He is a decent player, but awfully slow and not as good in the air as you would expect from 6'4 inches tall. Probably because he doesnt get into the box enough.
I dont think Hernandez would be that cheap either, but there is some talk of him leaving because RVP, Rooney and Welbeck seem ahead of him.

Re: Transfer Rumours V4
I don't know why you guys are so hesitant to talk about Lewa, half our predictions never com true and what else are these forums for then to speculate..
Chicharito would not work well with Barca though is an amazing poacher but it will be like we are playing with one less player in the team, although if he does come although if he came, millions of fans from Mexico would come running xD

Chicharito, if signed, would be only to come in as a supersub vs park the bus defense the last 30-40 minutes.

Re: Transfer Rumours V4
Hernandez is average at best. Only would accept him as Free said, a supersub for extreme cases. In which case he wouldn't be worth the money, and why would Hernandez leave his slightly better situation at United for that.
We might talk about things that usually won't come about, but talk about Lewa is different though. It's simply not going to happen. He wants Bayern and Bayern wants him.

Re: Transfer Rumours V4
Not transfer rumors, but I was making a recap of players that could be useful for next season as a plan B, of strikers that are great aerially:
- Drogba: His contract ends at the end of the season. He seems to still be a valuable player, so we could try to get him for one year.
- Lewandowski: Very unlikely, but it's not completely off the charts. He can head and have aerial game and is good enough to be plan A.
- Llorente: After an erratic start seems to start being important for Juve, but a transfer at the end of the season would still be possible.
- Mandzukic: Possibly the best header right now. He might be available if Bayern signs Lewa.
- Benteke: I don't know if this guy is good enough on the ball, but he could be a kind of Eto'o signing for us. He is definitely gifted physically and aerially.
Giroud, Kiessling and Jackson Martinez: All of them are good players aerially but couldn't be starters with us and would cost too much. So no point.
Possible other cheap options: Luca Toni, Peter Crouch, Aduriz, Roque Santa Cruz.

Re: Transfer Rumours V4
Offcourse, the best thing would be to perfect the plan A, and to do this and also have a plan B, the best option would be Julian Draxler. A player with inmense talent that also adds physique, aerial presence, and could play as a false striker but with good aerial game vs. park the bus teams.

I am all in for Draxler but we will have to sell Tello and Pedro for another forward to come

Re: Transfer Rumours V4
Draxler is 6"2, and only 20 years old. I like. I could see us getting a German to go along with the likes of Ter Stegen. So Ter Stege can have a buddy on the team
He would be our tallest forward lol
Pedro is 5"7
Tello is 5"11
Messi is 5"7
Neymar is 5"9
Alexis is 5"7
Cesc as a false 9, is 5"10

Draxler
Its clear none of you have watched him outside of Youtube.
Makes Tello look like a brain surgeon.... its going to be enjoyable when the whole world realises how overrated he is.

Also this entire section is far too obsessed with height.

Draxler is 20 years old. He will improve. You know that? He is impressive for a 20 year old. I already told you I've never watched Draxler on youtube, but suit yourself.Great Leader Sprucenuce wrote:Draxler

We are obsessed with height because we are severly lacking since our starting CB is 1.74 and sucks aerially, and we only have two players taller than 1.80 in our starting lineup and they are not that good aerially.
