We seem to be getting rid of good quality players, (Hart, Zab, Yaya and even Caballero), and replacing with lesser quality.

Boateng will automatically become the best defender on our roster....when fit.
For me, hes a top 5 CB in the world. Why Ancelotti prefers Martinez over him ill never understand.

Perhaps Carlo Ancelotti is more realistic about his shortcomings and failings, than others.

Don't agree mate. He was crap at City and I have seen him be equally crap at Bayern occasionally - under less pressure.

We've already got one classy CB prone to catastrophic moments in Mr Stones

Boateng was the biggest coward of a player since Clough.

He was but I still didn't fancy him anytime they were tested defensively in the CL.

In replacing our full backs this summer, if Pep wants to definitely use the wing back format, I wonder if Marc Albrighton might be worth considering for this role ??

He works hard up and down the left flank and, although he's 27 now, getting him might not break the bank unduly.

We don't have a roster, we have a squad. And Boateng is not as good as Vinnie.

Don't think I ever had a day off football if I could run. At work nowadays I've had 2 days in 5 years and it influences the people who work for me.

In my previous job some years ago because I start early I would take calls for other departments. They would say to pass on that they couldn't come in. I would say 'why'? "because I don't feel very well".

I would say"neither do I, but why aren't you coming in?"

Lazy cunts

Agreed. However, I also hate it when cunts come in who are clearly ill, spreading their germs everywhere. Not talking about colds here. Usually it's jobsworth wankers looking to brown nose. Since my spleen exploded and I've been left with a compromised immune system, I really can't stand cunts like that. Just work from home, you epicentric cunt

Just looked at ~our feeder club~, Girona is almost promoted in La Liga.

I think Maffeo and Angelino need to spend there the next season in order for them to reach a level that might help them play here at some point.
