Lucien Favre.

Poster to whom I was replying was saying that if Funes Mori will be a failure here we can still sell him to Primera Division for "tidy profit". I am just saying that it's impossible, as financial difference between Premier League and Primera Division is too big these days, for any team not...

To make a profit on him with sale to Spanish side we would have to sell him to Real or Barcelona and I don't think it will happen ever. With Funes Mori going to any other La Liga team in scenario when we aren't happy with his performance for us we would have to accept a loss. For the money we...

I would hope someone "tackling" Barkley this way would get sent off. So McCarthy should take an early bath as well. Very poor tackle.

Ukrainian (or Russian to make a selection wider) attacking midfielder or English goalkeeper - both options sounds disastrous based on their Premier League history, no thanks. Goalkeeper has to be priority though. After Real Madrid will get David de Gea next summer and Manchester United will...

I have a quite fun reading this thread, after majority of posters here were dissing system with 3/5-man backline last summer. How much 12 months can change, even without many changes in our personnel. And even nobody is posting moronic posts like "but 3 man defense was the reason City lost the...

I am on the opposite - quite aften in high profile games.

That's what happens when you can't replace Lukaku properly. We will learn about it hard way next season (maybe not to WBA extent, but still I'm sure there will be a backlash), when him leaving and lack of funds because of 12m spent on James McCarthy (nothing against him personally, just think...

In theory Napoli - Dortmund should be a cracking game to watch. Normally I would be worried of Benitez playing it safe, but playing at home and having also Arsenal in group both teams have to go for the win. Napoli with really attacking line-up, Dortmund with their standard attacking line-up.

He is maybe consistent in his saves, but he is awful all around keeper - poor regarding dealing with crosses, doesn't command the box at all, doesn't pass well (kicking and throwing), etc... He's just a taller and slightly better version of Shay Given, which isn't compliment in my book, as I...

Based on our recent history with players from Belgium, if McCarthy would be from Belgium we would never look into signing him, as there would be much better players available for less money. He is not versatile - in his case its more about not having a true position and doing a little bit of...

I am not saying we did buy Fellaini based on one game - I know Moyes was too smart to do it. But he was stand out player out of young generation of Belgium players and these days we see how big praise was that. After all this years he spent here I still have a feeling he can improve as a player...

As talented and already contributing he is, I don't think his yesterday's performance deserves any "great" mentioning. His decision making was average at best and Mirallas was rightfully seriously pissed about it a few times. Of course with his age and lack of experience it has to be expected...

It even more unfortunate for him that he formed a quality partnership with Distin before Jagielka did, which still didn't stop Moyes from dropping him in Jagielka favour when he was back after injury (despite not playing on Heitinga level at that time).

And we bought a player who will never be as good as Barry for 13m. Amazing business... not. Forgot about it. Can't believe that after all this years when we made a huge progress in quality all over the squad as well as playing style, plenty of people still thinks inresponsible thug like Joey...
