Football is broken the felipe anderson deal is impressive, fabianski is an improvement (but im surprised they didnt go for johnstone) yarmolenko did nothing at dortmund and wilshere will slip away in to obscurity from here, after that if im honest i dont know too much about diop, balbuena, xande silva like zatman said it will be interesting to see how much these signings improve them, £100m spent but i dont see them getting top 10, still dont think they have a goalscorer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a phenomenan to keep scoring goals whilst clearly compromised. He and Hutton are the same age, Hutton would leave him for dust nowadays. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assumed they'd play Ronaldo at LW since their wingers aren't that impressive. I guess Manduzkic somehow will keep that LW spot. Nah will be Costa - Ronaldo- Cuadrado Dybala I think. Think Higuain leaving is just Juve balancing the books as Ronaldo is huge amount for them and they also have to meet FFP. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then they have extremely inconsistent wingers in costa and cuadrado. Wonder how that will work. That is arguably the weakest part of Juve's team. Their midfield and defense is pretty stacked.

Mandzukic is a workhorse that he will play instead of one of Costa/Cuadrado and they will fight for same position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Douglas Costa is a very good player I think. Was Brazil's best player v Belgium and he was also great v Spurs at Wembley. I remember he started very well at Bayern before tailing off. Cuadrado is tactically a really important player for them although guess he will play more wingback if they go with 3-5-2/3-4-3 again.

Pretty sure there was something saying that Juve have already recouped the transfer fee they paid for Ronaldo - shirt sales and share purchases or something. Can't remember the exact details. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted August 2, 2018 Author Share Posted August 2, 2018 (edited) its the only reason he's joining palace thats for sure, could have stayed at schalke or had a pick of numerous better clubs if had realistic wage demands its shit that an english club has decided to pay him but its also a young talented german player who has flirted with the national team picking money over football, will be interesting to see the german reaction to it i would also say his 3 year contract is pretty telling as to how he views the move Edited August 2, 2018 by villa4europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 One of reasons I happier in the Championship. Assholes like that will be joining Villa if we ever go back up and really hard get behind these type of players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me over the fawning Carr at Newcastle got a few years back just before the awful French signings arrived.... Quite strongly suggests that scouting is extremely hard, and that luck is probably far more relevant than judgement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Vidal is great business for Bayern, he is on his last legs and one of his strongest assets is his engine. He also probably doesnt fit the Barcelona type midfielder mould Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted August 5, 2018 Author Share Posted August 5, 2018 yeah there was some guff yesterday about both manchester clubs turning him down, in reality he's probably only cover for biscuits or playing a role that means they can break arthur in gently so £18m isn't bad business for barca either, he's an upgrade on andre gomes, they have rafinha and sergi samper back this year too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
