A young talented center back that can also play LB is a perfect fit. I do not know much about him, but if he is good on the ball and athletic I think he could be exactly what Pep is looking for.

I think we will see a change in our fullback style under Pep and that may be why we have not seen links with fullbacks to the extent we would expect with the age of our current fullbacks. At Bayern, Pep regularly would push his fullback into the midfield line and and tuck them in the half space...

Completely agree. More than any player on our squad Sterling is the one I most want to see succeed so we can put it back in the faces of the media that has been slandering him since he moved from Liverpool. This is total BS. In my opinion both Sterling and KDB signed up last year because they...

At Barca Pep would regularly play Iniesta on the wing with Abidal as his fullback. I don't see why Laporte or Clichy could not play full back with Silva at left wing or Stones or Sagna at RB and Silva on the RW. My opinion is that Silva will play in the midfield 3 and on the wing and KDB will...

Oh man! This guy is super fun on these boards. Sane always plays on the right because they want him allowed to cut in. Costa always plays on the left he is left footed too. Is he being pushed onto his weaker foot? Anyway, I think I'm done talking about it. Hope you have fun nit picking...

I see what you mean about it being interchangable. That makes sense. I still think we may see Stones play in that role however. He is never going to be Dani Alves but he may be able to develop in to Philip Lahm or David Alaba. I watched the same video, and perhaps I am fucking nuts, but I...

I had been confused as to why we were chasing so many new center backs when both fullback positions seemed so in need of investment, but I think we will see Stones play RB a fair amount for us next season and beyond. I had read that Pep believes the winger and fullback should never play in the...

Not a ferna type, he's like a young Xabi Alonso but much quicker and more athletic. I suspect he will play the deepest for us with ferna and kdb or silva in a midfield 3 much like Bayern would protect Alonso with Vidal and add another creative player. There are some pretty nice you tube...

Here is my shot at a 25 man squad for next season. Its probably a little young but that is mostly based on my reading that Pep likes to have a smaller squad and may rely on the academy products to give the squad depth. Given the demands of the PL I think that would get them a lot of games and...

I would love to see Ox at the Etihad next season. I watched a fair amount of Bayern this season and one thing that really stood out was Pep's use of ball carrying wingers all over the pitch. Pep seems to love players that can beat defenders one on one and City's squad is severely short on...

I am curious what everyone's thoughts are regarding use of Performance Enhancing Drugs in the EPL. I like in the US and it is clear that all the major sports have some level of doping happening and in most it is probably a level playing field in that all the teams and players are using more or...

I think its really unfair to judge our business based on the small amount of information we have. There is no question we are in a different phase of the project in which only top class players are considered. In almost all cases, the player's current club is trying to hold onto them as long...

Thinking against W Brom it looks like Hart Sagna - Kompany - Mangala - Kolarov Toure Pogba____KDB Sterling__________________Silva Bony Then after the South Americans are fully involved, probably our best XI would be Hart Zaba - Kompany - Mangala - Clichy Toure Pogba____KDB...

I feel like the entire Sterling situation highlights the problems Fenway Sports Group has had with their management of Liverpool and the differences in CFG's approach which I believe will prove to be more successful. There is a long list of Liverpool players who have been involved in drawn...
