The way I see no way Alexis Sánchez is staying at Barcelona, which is a shame. Expecting a bidding war from the PL clubs I mentioned.
No real reliable source regarding Sanchez yet.
I think he'll be an Arsenal player. I hope a deal is done soon wherever he goes though so we can move on to other targets.
He's a quality #6. For 20m Euros, he'd be an excellent signing. Hardly a muppet's wet dream, I'll grant you.
I wouldn't really call him a no.6 Madrid fans always complain when he bursts forward all the time when his suppose to be the holding player.
Led to believe #mcfc not concerned by Sport story suggesting Yaya Toure has requested a transfer.
Radio Marca claims Barcelona will sell Pedro, Tello and re-sign Nolito from Celta. Really doubt that, quite illogical.
Fully agree with Scholes on this one. Watching him play for Germany at this WC, Kroos appears to be the natural successor to Scholes based on vision and precision.
At least we could win a bidding war with Arsenal and Liverpool, not sure how it'll turn out if other rich clubs like Monaco, PSG, Chelsea and City stick their noses in.
Suarez offered opportunity to play in Kosovo during ban / Sunday World: http://www.sundayworld.com/sport/soccer/suarez-offered-opportunity-to-play-in-kosovo-during-ban#.U7GM2sFXVI0.twitter… #LFC
Ah! So it ain't just me!
Arsenal will do well to sign Sanchez.
Come on, more Vidal tweets please

All this posting the tweet and then writing the tweet underneath. It's like reading an echo.
He isn't a #6 at all.
It's 3 shits.
A holding/defensive midfielder who sits in front of the back four and works through intercepting play, and recycling possession.
In England 6 has always been a centre half. The 6 midfielder thing is the done thing in Europe I think.
Ah okay.
Anyways, he's not good enough. Should aim higher.

Holding midfielder, opposite of a 10. #8 is more of a box to box.
We really need a false number 3
Yeah, got it. Never seen it used before.
Evra did a good job of that this season.
It's a term used quite often in Germany, but not really referenced much in England.
Yes he is. Just because he contributes to the vertical play of the team, it doesn't mean he isn't a #6 by trade. It's more down to the tactical instructions of the coach. He's played as a midfield sweeper as much as he's been deployed pressing higher up the field. So I'm very comfortable with that designation. I'll agree that he can play as a 6 or an 8.
Yeah he can, badly.
Strange, isn't it. He wasn't particularly great for them nine years ago either.
As long as it keeps them away from our CM targets then I'm happy.
Jose Mourinho is always good for a strange transfer every year.
I'm surprised these sort of questions still get asked. Managers rate players differently than fans do. Same applies to Vermaelen.
When they hear about this on RAWK they're going to go ballistic
Similar outcry to Robben admitting he dived to Suarez refusing to admit the bite, I guess honesty isn't the best policy. Anyway, I though Robben said that the one he got a penalty for was not a dive, but earlier ones were, which he got nothing for.
I'd say it's almost certain, unless they can flog Suarez quickly and bring in a world class replacement. Which you'd have to say is unlikely.
So now that we know what a 6 is, what is an 8? Someone who dictates play higher up? Slightly further than the 6?
Who? I really struggle to think who could replace him and moreover who would want to go.
Southampton close on Twente midfielder http://www.football-oranje.com/southampton-close-on-twente-midfielder/…
Could be good news for Arsenal if they want Sneiderlin (SP?).
Willy Wine Brand to join Manchester City by current twitter rumours.
Box-to-box like Herrera, Vidal, Ramsey, etc.
