Oh right defenders don't score goals do they.

Its not an important factor in analysing them is it. Otherwise Unsworth is an all time great and Baresi is average

 

[BlueDeadHead]

i know what your saying and that its just guess work but i don't think either of those two would be great in those positions....Ottomendi is just too rash in the challenge and his distribution isn't good enough and I though Mangala defensively could play left back....he would offer nothing going forward from what I've seen (which i think is what Pep likes in his fullbacks)

I agree with your thoughts on Otamendi. DM/Pivot is so important to Pep...I can't see him putting that much responsibility on Otamendi's shoulders.

Not really you're right I was looking at denayer stats and his and that just stood out still don't rate him but like I said if Pep wants him what will be will be...

oh lord so this might actually happen

who the fuck is scouting these trash center backs

 

[kenzie115]

If Pep wants him that's good enough for me.

No. Tottenham showed the way this season. Lots of young players there and they would have won the title if they hadn't had such a slow start.

Yep, the key to having success with younger players or any players is to have a top coach. Spurs had that this season and we'll have it next season.

Is the Hart story Evertons response to our bid?

The clue's in the name

I'm focusing more on the defence. Spurs have an experienced defence. Laporte, Stones, Denayer wouldn't be.

Let's give the lad a chance for fucksake. He has all the potential in the world playing under the best manager in the world.

Innit, why the fuck aren't we signing Geoff Cameron...

Nah, fuck that, he's shit.

I know for a fact that his close family want him to move, therefore I can only think that echoes his own sentiments. When asked whether or not it's local, nothing more but a nervous giggle. Us or United I reckon.

Us then I reckon!

I would prefer Winston Reid or an actual defender. Said it since Midtjylland :)

Pep Guardiola.

Next question?

 

[aguero93:20]

Pep Guardiola.

Next question?

Well that explains it then, fucker thinks Boateng is a good defender.

 

[RichardDunneOwnGoal]

Circa £80m on Laporte and Stones alone. Absolutely no way we could fund a move for Pogba with that kind of outlay on those two alone with other key areas yet to be strengthened.

Spunking £40m on a currently bang average/utterly shite player who costs what he will due to his passport and unearned hyped, relegating a talented young academy lad like Denayer to back up and leaving us without enough money in the pot to fund a move for a superstar like Pogba.

Sound. Makes sense.

 

[Dax777]

Stones and Laporte and gundongen it would seem will happen quite quickly. Hope so. 3 great additions.

Lots of folks are against this.

 

[blueinsa]

Well that explains it then, fucker thinks Boateng is a good defender.

So do I to be honest.

Shitter him falling out with Mancini and leaving so early.
