Barkley's career trajectory has been a peaks and troughs affair, ending ultimately in a downward spiral of continued injuries and never hitting any sort of solid form when he was actually fit.

Brony Car posted:Maybe my memory is wonky, but didn't Koeman throw Barkley under the bus during press interviews a couple of times too ? If your manager is happy to use you as a scapegoat, it's going to make any player's time at a club pretty miserable. Yeah, he's always had "potential" though and Koeman isn't the only manager to seem dissatisfied with him, I vaguely recall Martinez having frustrations with him too. He's 24 now and still only has "potential".

vyelkin posted:Can is not very good. I've said it many times but he's the kind of player who believes he's amazing at everything so he's willing to try those worldy goals and insane passes, and 1 time out of 10 they work and he looks like a highlight reel genius, but the other 9 times he just loses possession with a dumb dribble or shot into the stands or pass over someone's head. Someone has to fill the wayward hollywood pass role vacated by Gerrard

Because outside of a couple of good performances he's poo poo. I heard Koscielny pretty much carries a permanent injury now. I really don't get what happened to Wenger. He went from a very real thorn in SAF's side to this laughable mockery of a manger that makes the same mistakes over and over and over again. I genuinely don't understand how or why.

Bacon Terrorist posted:I wish I the FA Cup was a major trophy but we only have to look at the calibre of finalists prior to last year. Hardly the grandiose spectacle it used to be. This is entirely the FA's fault. Scheduling for the Christmas period to now has been loving insane, no wonder reserves are being trotted out for the third round when some teams have played 5 matches since Boxing Day at this point, a lot with only a couple of days between them.

Sanchez just seems to be throwing a perpetual tantrum at the fact his career is winding down. Is there any truth to the rumour I keep hearing that he refuses to pass to certain team mates? I can't see Mourinho putting up with that sort of attitude for long, so the deal (assuming any validity to it at all) doesn't make a lot of sense. manutdtransfers.txt

This sounds like crazy conspiracy theories made up to give better reasons for "Arsenal are poo poo". I mean "Arsenal player doesn't pick obvious pass" is hardly back page news.

I thought he's spent most of this season playing around with 3 at the back much as a toddler would play around with a toy piano, could there actually have been a vision behind that?

West007 posted:Sanchez and his lazy performances for Arsenal in the last year haven't convinced me at all. I'd rather have Martial on the left. What would the front three look like anyway? Alexis on the left, Martial on the right and Lukaku as CF? I expect Sanchez to start behind Lukaku rather than out wide. Mourinho obviously feels he's lacking an advanced playmaker. Mkhitarian had a great start to the season but had a run where his assists just dried up, as soon as Pogba was out with injury/suspension that was it, zero creativity in the middle of the pitch and United were back to pushing it out wide and trying to cross to Lukaku, or endless attempts by Martial to cut inside and make something himself. A creative player linking play between midfield and the wings behind the striker is probably United's weakest position, currently being papered over by Lingard's purple patch. If the more vintage Sanchez turns up, great, but even allowing for "lol Arsenal" I'm not thrilled by the transfer given his performance and attitude the last couple of seasons.

Batshuayi does well again to continue to not be picked in the league and Chelsea continue to be linked with anyone tall to get on the end of Dave's crosses. Was Conte weird like this at previous clubs?

big crush on Chad OMG posted:I hope Giroud is confirmed and then Auba’s medical gets failed. Come on it's Arsenal, he could turn up with one leg taped on with duct tape and the other looking like it's been through a combine harvester and Arsenal would still sign him. Remember when they signed a guy with a broken back?
