This Dutch 3-5-2 looks impressive to Spanish 4-2-3-1.

I just think barca I mean Spain just hold onto the ball and do nothing just like bayern Munich in this years champs league. They hold on to it for so long every holland player got behind the ball. It's silly. Any one else notice when our azpilicueta was free on the right with acres of space xavi and iniesta just kep turning their backs on him and pass inside? Same with Ramos and piqué?

I did Blueboy, felt sorry for Dave. I think its about time spain changed their style of play as good as iniesta and xavi are or should I say use to be, every decent manager out there can work rings around them now, And Chn it has nothing to do with the formation as to the style of play. For example Brazil and Croatia used the 4-2-3-1 diffrently and to some effect. Just think the spanish side are a bit too slow and predictable.

Maybe it's time Del Bosque started to trust some players who aren't playing for Real Madrid or Barcelona. Bringing in Javi Martinez and Koke would add a lot of energy and bite to that midfield while not sacrificing a lot of technical ability. As far as I've heard, Koke also had very good link up play with Costa.

Guys, D.Villa still plays football.

They put 5 guys behind a striker and the give all want to play the same role. They need to stick to drop one of busquets, xavi, and Alonso and put a winger on and tell david silva he's not a #10. It's very easy to pack the box against them as seen last night.

Hey Ed's. Any change in the situations regarding Rabiot, Mandzukic and Ricardo Rodriguez?
Thanks in advance

I know he was a bit of a liability sometimes but if cesc shows half passion as David Luiz then he will be fine, going to miss Luiz. I loved the bloke but €50m is ridiculous announced of money,

Ed002 are reports that Real Madrid may have offersd Khedira for Ramires true?

I certainly hope not. Ramires a far better, more dynamic player. Could just about stomach an exchange with Modric perhaps. But thought Khedira looked particularly poor in ECL final. RM would be getting by far the better of a Khedira exchange imho

Tbh with Luiz gone we don't have another Defensive midfielder to rotate with Matic if he's tired or gets injured, Khedira isn't miles better than Ramires but he's a much better passer, wins more aerial battles and doesn't do stupid things like Ramires does like he did against Sunderland and against Bayern in the super cup so for me if there was a player exchange I'd be really happy with it.

Mikel but his likely to go, I'd personally keep Ramires. I get so frustrated with him and annoyed but I think he can do job for us.,

Short term Tiago, long term Chalobah.
Chelsea will transfer to 4-3-3 or maybe to 4-4-2 according to strike force.

I would NEVER take Khedira over Ramires!

Hi ed what clubs are interested in mikel? I believe inter have been mentioned previously but there were recently rumours about Valencia?
are psg still interested in oscar? I guess that if they are successful in buying pogba the interest may fade?
You mentioned on another page that Chelsea were still interested in cavani but wages would be the main problem does this mean that psg might be slightly more open to letting him go?

Sorry about all the questions but really miss the detailed update lists you provided. Thanks for all of your input as always.

A LB, chances are it will be Filipe Luis.

And another striker beyond Costa
