I was with you until RIGHT THERE.

I just....

I agree that PSG/Madrid won't be the bloodbath people are saying it will be but...I just wholeheartedly disagree with that statement. But you are right if there's going to be any difference makers its going to be Modric and Kroos.

I may have overstepped that one. Veratti and Casemiro aren't really the same type of midfielder.

Casemiro is your standard defensive midfielder, he could honestly even play at CB. Veratti is more box to box and is far more offensively inclined.

But if we are speaking about defensive capabilities then Casemiro has Veratti locked down.

PSG midfield offensively is amazing, Verrati, Rabiot(super underrated), Pastore,Draxler(he can play in a mid3), Lo Celso(best Argentine under 23 #10) ar3 all good ball players but what PSG need and should look into buying is Kante since he's French and fills a need I'm sure money wouldn't be an issue or a holding midfielder of his type. Having someone like that behind any of the offensive players I named above would balance the team more I think.

I'd bet on anything that if Michy gets loaned out or sold he starts putting in goals for fun.

He’s my favorite Atleti player, but it might be time to put a flat top on Filipe Luis. Dude is 32, and can’t stay healthy for longer than a few weeks.

Watch Mhkitaryan blow up at Arsenal like all the other Mourinho rejects DeBruyne, Everton Lukaku, Mohamed Salah. If you are a technically gifted player whose strictly offensive minded, you will not flourish under a Mourinho system. I don't understand why some players do not understand that or else it was the allure of ManU itself that convinced Mhkitaryan to go to United. Arsenal hasn't done a lot of right things lately but signing him is a good move. I don't think they should go after Aubameyang. He is 29 I believe but they should be looking to Ligue 1 to find some young striker like Fekir of Lyon . Go after the Senegalese CB at Napoli Koulibaly.
