Not to mention how much he'd cost. He's not worth the money.

Adnan is just fantastic. What a player.
I wish barca could swap cesc for Januzaj.
And swap song + pique + tello for thiago.

Whoever buys Luiz at his asking price is a fucking idiot, unless they're already so strong at the back they can afford to take the risk of having him pissing about while their other players cover him*.
And if you plan on playing him in midfield, you're overpaying anyway because he isn't that good there either, and would still be more expensive than better options.
*So certainly not us or Barca. Barca will do it though, because Barca gonna Barca. I mean, who gives a shit about not being able to trust a defender to defend properly, as long as they can pass and move?

Guardiola wants him as CB apparently. :/

You'd need a better CB to play next to him, and Martinez to cover his arse constantly. You'd get away with it in the league, but as with this season a setup of 2 CBs who aren't all that at defending and no real DM would see you hitting something of a brick wall when you meet a top team again.

Now we all know Wayne Bridge actually retired in 2010 when he signed a new contract with City despite there being no chance of him ever playing there, but it appears he has now actually retired from his paid gardening leave job as well.

Not for too much longer.
Lucas gonna take that crown imminently.
Should probably check when Wilson's contract expires too. Get on it Woowar.
I know, but I cant think of a world class CB that could join us. Luiz is decent but I get what you are saying. Maybe Laporte... I don't know.

I think Luiz could still be a very good CB - but I definitely wouldn't want him as the "lead" centre half. Alongside somebody like Kompany, or a Vidic, he could be brilliant IMO.

What about beside Bartra m8
The players better know what they're in for, as they were totally complacent against Valencia.
A fuck up like that isn't going to be accepted at the end of the season. If we don't win all the remaining games, we can kiss the title goodbye.
LOL, poor Bartra. I guess a defender like Puyol is something that happens only every 30 years.

That has 'successive 3rd-place finishes' written all over it unless Messi goes back to his form from before this season. Not sure you'll go for Agger (or anyone really) since he's been defensively vacant for ages as well, especially at set pieces.

Man Adnan could of gone sooo easily kinda scary.
He did a good job at the EL finale last year. If he doesn't screw this one up I wouldn't be surprised if he's the top pick for the WC finale too granted we won't make it (which we won't). It's funny though how he never wins the golden card competition in the Eredivisie. I think Vink won this year.

Incredible that you let it get that close after the Pogba situation 2 years earlier
Pls.

Yeah it's crazy you can't risk losing that kind of talent even if it's just based on potential.
Shame the way his career went.
When he was leaving us he was considered to be close to Ashley Cole.
If he was at Real Sociedad game maybe he was also watching Iñigo Martínez.

As a neutral (lol), it's a little egotistical, but he's earned it and the match was dead rubber

True dat
It's brilliant. Showing his authority in a way Moyeseh never could.
Clearly the man for the job.

I have no hate towards Bartra, he can improve. Mascherano and pique kill me though. This is as good as they will EVER get.
They suck, really badly too. Pique changed the moment he banged Shakira and Puyol started breaking.
In short, I'd prefer Bartra next to a new CB than pique or masch being next to the new CB.

Hehehe just pictured Moyes legging it down the wing
I could see a few teams letting him score so he could have stayed manager XD
The training video that had him chasing a ball was class.Hehehe just pictured Moyes legging it down the wing
I must say that this sounds like a boss move from Giggs. He really enjoys this I guess.

Get on with it and announce Lewis already.
Then we can announce Shaw, Fabregas and Kroos.

Top of the league:
What about Willy C?

Shouldn't a centreback be second on your list of priorities, after a centre midfielder?

We're gonna go barca.. cesc in defence.
Top of the league:
More of an indictment on your poor home turn out, unfortunately.
Though weren't Cov fans notoriously poor (in terms of attendance) before the money issues and relegations anyway?

Barca wants Javi Martinez...

I don't think we will sign Willy C if it's Van Gaal. Can't see where he fits in.
CM > LB > CB
Although it's pretty fucking close between all 3, at least we have CB's who have at some stage shown they could be good. It's all downhill at CM and LB.

We'll use him in CB. Will this ever end?!?!?!

LvG not gonna be announced til end of the season now.
Rubbish.
Woodward better be going for the mega "new manager + 5 new signings" approach.

He is even more terrible than Boateng as CB but one of the best DMs in the world. He was the key last season for the treble. His work against the oppositions midfield made us look good because he destroyed 99% of all the counters. The reason why we are so vulnerable this season. Pep is an incredible coach but he is blind to see what a weapon he has in his squad. Sad :/

Coventry is an eerily hollow part of the world. There's just nothing there.
No surprise they get to as many away games as they can.
