Omg Have you seen the lad play? He is a terrific player. To me he's the Aguero of defenders.he is better already than all the players you list.
Nope, never seen anything of him, I don't even know what he looks like. If he's as good as you say then he'll obviously be a brilliant signing!

He has the best Defensive stats in the Premier league now too.
Strike that, he has the best stats for CBs in the 5 major leagues.
So.....
Really? But he's not good enough in my opinion. Dives in too much and not good enough in the air.
Can't fault his commitment and he's not totally shit, but I'd swap him for Vertonghen or Koscielny any day.

I think the words "unbelievable Jeff" spring to mind.In one.
No defender in the premier league wins more duels in the air per game.Really? But he's not good enough in my opinion. Dives in too much and not good enough in the air.
Can't fault his commitment and he's not totally shit, but I'd swap him for Vertonghen or Koscielny any day.
Granted, VVD and Vertonghen win a higher % of their duels per game, but Ota wins more duels per game than Vertonghen even contests. I don't know what that says.
But I just can't be down on Ota. Hw gives it all.
To stay on topic, Laporte would be a good signing. Shame we didn't get him last summer

You too think that England is a better league than Spain when the only quantitative measure that is available says that in fact the opposite is true. Maybe the problem is you don't actually understand the discussion. http://www.uefa.com/memberassociations/uefarankings/country/

Ok please explain why Spain is such an easy league. Please use the Uefa coefficient in your argument.

Maybe that's true. However, it's interesting that most of the worlds top managers are desperate to work in England. Maybe they're all clueless too.

The problem with this discussion is the use of words such as 'better', 'easier'! The only comparison with La Liga and the PL that does stand any scrutiny is that competition extends in the PL a lot further down the league than it does in La Liga. Two of the most successful sides in world football ever, Barca and Real, play their games and generally pick up the 'two points for their 'Inflated' coefficient a bloody sight easier than some of the PL sides do!
I think there are not many miles in a discussion about La Liga and the PL. The PL is infinitely more competitive than La Liga but La Liga contains two of the most successful sides ever. Wonder how Barca and Real would fare in the PL. I suspect it wouldn't be a two horse race every season!

This just isn't true anymore.
Barcelona and Real Madrid are very good, sure, but Sevilla have split them for most of the season and kept pace, Atletico Madrid have been to more champions league finals than the entire Premier League combined in the last 5 years. Villarreal would be favourites against United or Everton. Las Palmas are certainly a much better side than anyone in 8th-11th over here, they'd win every time.
The only part of La Liga that's weaker than their Premier League counterparts is probably the lower midtable. The drop off after 11th is more abrupt in Spain, here it reaches about 13th before going down hill.

They want to get paid! Diego Simeone has won the league, Europa League, Cup, taken his team to 2 Champions League finals, made them one of the best teams in Europe and he gets paid around the same amount as Slaven Bilic.
Manager salaries over here are even more disproportionate than the players salaries compared to similarly skilled counterparts around Europe.
