What to do in the summer?

Either i'm the clueless or you are, to me Silva gives asmuch as he can. As i said before, just cause he doesn't have the best game doesn't mean he isn't giving it his all.

There's a difference between having a shit game and having a no show.

Before his sudden return to form vs the big teams, he was disappearing.
Now Marchena, he's playing like shit. But at least you see him on the pitch.

And you're clueless:finger:

Bro, it's consistency. The whole team has been horrible this season against the small teams and you pin point, Silva. Silva is not a player yet to lift the team when the going gets tough (Only Villa), when Silva plays well, most of the team do too...

How is it consistency?

Not showing up for 3 games then playing an extraordinary game vs a top team, then disappearing again. It's not consistency, it's lack of motivation.
Maybe it's cause the coaches are shit aka Koeman, but you can't blame lack of morale for it.

Silva is not a shit player, he's actually good. What's annoying is he tends to drift out on games, vs small teams, and show up vs big ones.
And what's worse is the fact that our team is so shit vs big teams this season that it doesn't matter if Silva plays his best against them, cause either way we're going to lose.

Now this: Did Joaquin improve when Koeman left? (even though he played the same shit position)
And I'm not giving up on Joaquin, unless ofc Tottenham show the money

Oh and Italy for Euros:smileani:

Back on topic: I like Klasnic, he'd be an ok signing.

Okay Ladies, some minor changes

Since we're after Amelia, I'd presumably want Timo to leave (I really want the new Iker in our team)

Broke Lineup (that's in case we're really broke and we wanna profit this summer)

--------------------------------(Amelia)Timo/Asenjo
Zabaleta/Pedro Lopez-Albiol/Alexis-Coloccini/CataDiaz-Taiwo/Moretti

--------------Paulo Assuncao/Maduro------------Banega/Marchena
-------------------------------Silva/Baraja

Sergio Garcia/Pablo--------------------------------------Mata/Vicente
--------------------------Villa/Morientes


Gomis is also on my shortlistarty:

Changes made were:
New CB ---> Coloccini
Marchena shifts to DMC, Baraja to MC, Manuel Fernandes fcuks off
New CB position ----> Cata Diaz
Zapater -----> Paulo Assuncao
Monreal ----> Taiwo

Banega seems like a nice kid but likes the night life a bit too much. Manuel Fernades is similar, only difference really is that Banega fit in with his teammates a bit better whereas Fernandes seemed to be a bad influence off the pitch I guess.


I'm all for giving 2nd chances. But if we get serious money for Fernandes, then hey off with him. But if both guys are able to get their heads on straight a bit and commit themselves to the cause, then I'm all for trying them out. We have Sunny as well, another young talent. We just need some experience. Baraja played well towards the end I felt so if he could get injured a bit less, we might be ok there.


At the moment, our strikers seem intact. Villa may leave, but no offers have arrived yet and we can't honestly say that any big club out there has shown REAL INTEREST in him yet, and considering how many younger players are out on the market for a cheaper price, I can't say I'm shocked. Be that is it may, if a 40 million offer arrives, then the club should take it for sure. But if no good enough offers arrive, then we could always sell Zigic for a reasonable price.


Miguel and Joaquin are possible exits. David Silva is another. Its certain that we can't keep all our stars but I think these "crisis" talks are a bit exaggerated. Its not like the club is going bankrupt and we can't afford to pay anybody anymore. I think 1 or 2 will leave. Debatable which ones they are. My guess is Miguel and Joaquin will probably exit, enabling us to keep Villa and Silva. Anyone's guess to how it goes.

Ok, then, when Marchena has a shit game you can atleast see him but when Silva has a shit game he is invincible...Maybe, you need to take off your anti-Silva glasses. Silva in this role is more involved in the build up of play more then anything, his first touch, short passing in tight areas and movement are his strongest assets, his not that fast and his not going to dribble 5 players or pull as 40 yard pass to make him stand out. If you watch him closely, instead of looking at Joaquin's crouch all the time, you can see that his not having a NO SHOW all the time 'when his versing shit teams and not giving 100%'. There's more to football then assists and goals...

I say he gives 100%, you say he doesn't. I say it's consistency, you say it's lack of motivation. Let's jsut leave it at that, no one is going to change there mind, cause you can't really prove if his giving 100% or not.

Yeah, your right. He has looked better under Voro, but he couldn't get any worse to be honest, as has the whole team. As was reported he had alot of problems under Koeman which certainly affected him mentally and it showed, so i'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

Tough group, all the best, World Cup Champions

Back on topic: I like Klasnic, he'd be an ok signing.

Unfortunately, if you guys know or not, he had a very serious kidney transplant and was out for 6 months, he is back now, but is just a shade of best, and can't say he be back to his best. His going to be 29 soon, he wouldn't be the best signing.

Yes I'm sorry, Silva is Hleb.

I'm looking at Joaquin's crouch all the time?
:howler:

A month of good football does a lot I see, where the **** was he before the Getafe game?
All he did was show up in Copa games before that. (and the Zaragoza comeback, but even Joaquin did a good job thenp)

And if football is not bout stats, then what is it about?
How the **** does he manage to get assists and goals vs big teams? He gets them with all ease.
I know vs small teams it's harder cause the defences are tighter with 10 men behind the ball, but Silva's displays vs small teams are PATHETIC.

Do you really think Silva plays that well vs small teams?
He's a menace vs big teams, there you go, wank on that.

You still don't get it do you?
There's a reason I worry bout Silva going to Barcelona...

Yeah, your right. He has looked better under Voro, but he couldn't get any worse to be honest, as has the whole team. As was reported he had alot of problems under Koeman which certainly affected him mentally and it showed, so i'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

Well there then we agree on something

Unfortunately, if you guys know or not, he had a very serious kidney transplant and was out for 6 months, he is back now, but is just a shade of best, and can't say he be back to his best. His going to be 29 soon, he wouldn't be the best signing.

Yep that's the only thing I'm worrying about.
He's leaving Werder cause of it though, right?
He's sewing the doctors at the club, and leaving.

I'd take a chance with him, esp since he's on a free. He can be a good option off the bench...
