I'm disturbed by the fact that I know who Torbe is

I figured if Spanish players are embroiled in any type of sex scandal, you can always bet that Torbe is involved. It wouldn't surprise me if Pierre Woodman is also involved since he operates in Barcelona.

After all the Zlatan speculation and knowing the sarcastic guy he is, I have a feeling Zlatan is playing a joke on the whole world and will end up somewhere else.

Here's the latest: Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s son, Maximillian, has been pictured in a Manchester United shirt.

we are linked with Mkhitarian and Draxler. Thoughts? I'd prefer Draxler but ideally we should get a left footed winger to occupy the right wing. I like wingers who can cut inside. Griezmann is a dream. Di Maria would've been perfect but he didn't want to fight for his place and instead went to crap no competition Ligue 1.

Come on, Di Maria problem was Van Gaal and his very very strict game of position, Di Maria is a very anarchic player. His quality is out of discussion.

Mkhitaryan is two footed and can play from left/right/center. I suspected Mou was going to go for him.

He would be good but he is 27, Draxler is 22. If Mourinho wants Mkhitarian, I hope he does better than Kagawa but these are 2 very different players but same team. Kagawa was alright but didn't meet expectations.

Draxler is good but Mkhi is a few levels above at the moment. Draxler is unreliable. Mou and you need results. Quality, now. Given your position if Mkhi is desperate to join you that is a massive boost.

Kagawa lost something after his injury right when you bought him and Mkhi hardly gets injured.

I guess, Mkhi and Zlatan solves your attacking issues leaving enough room for an attacking or deep lying midfield playmaker.

Maybe, but he must adapt to the manager and the team.

How many players have Van Gaal fired in his career? Even Rivaldo!

If PSG (better team in better city) wabted him i see no reason to stay.

I know I know I know it's a cliche, but in this case it happens to be a true cliche - Di Maria is a very talented player who is also is very small and delicate and just couldn't handle the physicality of the English game - you could see every game he was not just uncomfortable but terrified of the Lee Cattermoles and Winston Reids sliding in to such an extent that even when he wasn't getting roughed up, the very thought of it put him off his game. When PSG played (and most of their other players out-played) Chelsea in the CL last season you could see 'oh not this again' written all over Di Maria's miserable face as the Chelsea defensive players slid in on him relentlessly. I think from the first time he was tackled in England he wanted to get out and back to continental Europe as quickly as possible.

Of course, you can blame van gaal tactics for not adequately protecting him if you want to.

Di maria is injury prone but very strong... He has great stamina and when free from injury he gets in form very fast.

Shit league, with 0 competition, no challenge except a few games of UCL. PSG won the league by what, 30 points?

EDIT: Good guess, 31 points. 96 pounts, second has 65 points.

I like your point but he seemed to be able to deal with the physicality by using his speed. His form started declining when he was dropped due to poor performances then he gave up like a pussy.

Who cares? What is he achieving there? Is there anything rewarding about playing for PSG other than money? Just like 8 UCL games a season thats it. The rest of games is like playing against teams from a division below.

I also said in the past that Zlatan is overrated because most of his success is in that non-competitive league. He has had good seasons in Serie A but in a Serie A at probably its worst. He only had 1 season in a top 3 league, Barcelona where he did alright but didn't meet expectations. 16 goals in something like 29 games is very average for how he is rated.

You missed the whole story, Zlatan had a great season until December but Messi wasnt confortable playing as winger under Pep system so Guardiola decided to move him to the center, where Zlatan blocked him and usually invaded his space. Guardiola stoped talking to Ibra and Bojan ended up taking his place on the last games.
