You're right the competition at Real Madrid is so tough. There's nothing really to be ashamed off. I mean he's got absolute quality to contend with.
The formation we are best in is contingent on the players available to us now but that will change in the summer with the arrival of new players. Suppose James and Fabinho arrive would you still think a 4-3-3 is our best formation then? I am not decided on this potential signing yet but I think he has positives that can help a team as offensivwly poor as us.
Strongly against this one
Just another Di Maria disaster waiting here.

First season at Real was good. 26 goals/assists in 29 games
Yes. Why? Because our best player (Pogba), in my opinion, plays much better in a 433. When he plays in a 4231, he's just as good going forward, but defensively, he's a liability, at times.

A choice of which player to get on the back of the shirt job.
Some guy i'd only met once convinced me to get Ibra over Pogba, as "Pogba will have more years with us"
Turned out to be good advice.
Where would he play? Off the right wing?
Yeah I will probably have to go with Griezmann if he comes.
That would be a favourite, but the greedy bastard in me wonders if him, and THEN some big name striker ahead of him.
Oooof.
That's what I think, too.
Which is why I don't want him here. I'd have Di Maria, because under Jose, I think Di Maria can do some good work as an attacker, but James, in a new team could flop or just give up (which is what happened with Di Maria).
It's not the same though. James looks to want to come here.
Di Maria's preferred destination was PSG.
Given our recent record it's hard not to be a little anxious about it all. It's more opportunistic rather than strategic, really, and our history with buying top class playmaker from other countries is really poor. He's a great player though.
4 big signings like last summer, and we're set!
Although I dare say after the first defeat someone would say we still need another 4...
Animations don't count.
For some reason he does not strike me as someone who will be up for a Stoke or Burnley away in December. We need players of steel who are up for the fight each game rather than just showcase their talent as and when they feel like it.
I feel it we do with him, we need to call him James not Hames.
I guess one thing you could say is that Fabregas was hardly pulling up trees at Barca but Jose needed a creative player and he ended up being a very shrewd signing (for Chelsea) so maybe something similar here? Available on the 'cheap' and maybe better than what we've got (I'm not convinced but James rarely plays so it's not hard to rank a Mata or Mkhitaryan ahead of him)
Then again he's a Mendes client so always the chance this is Gaitan all over again

Agreed. Comes across as a soft arse. Would like to be proven wrong though.
He's one player I've just never been excited about. I'd rather have Isco for double the money.
Jim Rodriquez.
I think if we make him our 10 and give him the confidence, he could easily be the league's best no10. Hope this goes through!
If we don't have high expectations for him then he might just surprise us. Recent signings that have got us excited have let us down a little bit so you never know it may turn out the opposite. I have voted not to go for him but if we do then it will be interesting to see how he performs.
So, how reliable is this station?
Rodders
He knows where goal is.
Bollocks.
That would indicate no Griezmann and De Gea gone.
Hope it's bullcrap.

Pereira doesn't do anything Fellaini is useful at and viceversa. Odd swap that.
Open the link on youtube site and it'll work.
I don't disagree. There's certainly question marks with his mentality.
I'd be fine with it if he really wants to come and play for us. It's got to be his choice. He needs to communicate that in some way.
Can't help but feel the questioning of his mentality come purely from the fact he's south American.
That's what worries me. We've had our hand burned a few times with South America players.
From creative players I always thought Sanchez had that mix of tenacity pace and creativity that goes really well in premier league. Was gutted when he went to Barcelona then even more when to Arsenal.
Suarez too.
