Yep we would have done better if everybody was 5ft 8 so I get where you’re coming from...Yeah man, in their stupid faces! His willingness to embrace short players totally makes up for cowardly displays against Seville and Chelsea.

What was so cowardly about the Chelsea game? One team defended with 10 men and the other did not so how do you go about figuring that we were the cowardly ones?Yeah man, in their stupid faces!

He didnt just have strong giants, Ramirez was of average height but pretty lanky and just ran around a lot. Fred is as dynamic can also tackle and pass the ball with great feet, he`s a mix of Ramirez and Fabregas basically, but we also have a different set of midfielders now, Pogba and Matic are tall and strong enough but we desperately need someone dynamic, I think Mourinho must see that tooFred would indicate to me Mourinhobis willing to adapt to the changes in the game instead of sticking with building a squad of giants. I have only seen Fred play a few times but I think stylistically what he provides is alot of what we're missing to increase the tempo of our passing and as am active destroyer in midfield capable of winning the ball back higher up the pitch.
Yep. That's a fair point as others have pointed out. I always think of guys like Khedira, Motta, Matic, Pogba, Fellaini etc. who are bigger CMs, but he definitely has a record of mixing silk and dynamism in his midfields so it's an unfair judgment on my part probably.He didnt just have strong giants, Ramirez was of average height but pretty lanky and just ran around a lot.

Your opinion has been actively destroyed!Yep. That's a fair point as others have pointed out.

It's sad because it happens so frequentlyYour opinion has been actively destroyed!
He could fill in for our mascot on match days if they’re not wellI don't know much about Fred, what will he bring to us that we don't already have?
He is though not sure about startingIs he in the Brazil WC squad? Starter?
If we do sign him, will be my first real chance to see what he is about
I love pre world cup signings that are going to the world cup. It's a free hype train.Is he in the Brazil WC squad? Starter?

Hmm I'm struggling to think of who their midfield consists of -He is though not sure about starting
Yeah just hope we sign him before an impressive tournament and fee inflationI love pre world cup signings that are going to the world cup. It's a free hype train.
We will want to sign him before, Shaktar and his agent will want a deal afterwards.Hmm I'm struggling to think of who their midfield consists of -
Fernandinho
Casemeiro
That's all I have..

He is not a starter. The midfield is Paulinho-Casemiro-Coutinho. Fred is a sub for Paulinho.Hmm I'm struggling to think of who their midfield consists of -

Ah Paulinho! Forgot he went to Barca... So strange from China to an almost unbeaten la Liga winner .He is not a starter. The midfield is Paulinho-Casemiro-Coutinho. Fred is a sub for Paulinho.
Yes, very strange case Paulinho. Ended as third top scorer for Barcelona coming from the benchAh Paulinho! Forgot he went to Barca... So strange from China to an almost unbeaten la Liga winner .
I have only seen his televised games in CL and his highlight reels. Things I like are:Yep. That's a fair point as others have pointed out.

I remember the LVG wc hype train lol. But you're right its awesome to watch players we just bought play in the wc.I love pre world cup signings that are going to the world cup. It's a free hype train.
We desperately need a playmaker in midfield, the balance is way off with an erratic AM and a fairly immobile DM, on top of that if we want an energetic CM there are better out there than Fred, his technique and control is too loose IMO.Why?
No, I think the fullback's and CB we are linked with are good choices, the CM's and attackers are the complete opposite.You don't want him either?
You'd think Brazil has turned into Spain. A bench midfield of Fernandinho, Fred and Renato Augosto!He is not a starter. The midfield is Paulinho-Casemiro-Coutinho. Fred is a sub for Paulinho.
Forgot he played against us..seems a very good/compact passer of the ball
We should go for that Willian guy!
Spain and German have better options than Brazil in the midfield(to control games).You'd think Brazil has turned into Spain. A bench midfield of Fernandinho, Fred and Renato Augosto!
Do you like any player we are linked with?We desperately need a playmaker in midfield, the balance is way off with an erratic AM and a fairly immobile DM, on top of that if we want an energetic CM there are better out there than Fred, his technique and control is too loose IMO.
As long as he replaces Fellaini I don't care how good he is.Sky saying a deal is close, but then again sky are full of shit.
Is he any good and is he what we need?
Thanks for posting. Impressive, particularly when considering he was just 20 years old.

No he's a stupid bumda.Could be a few apologies for Mr Luckhurst, who printed this a few days ago, and was slated by many on here.
I've watched him quite a lot, and not rubbish youtube vids, I mean real games, feckin hell even Bebe looked like Ronaldo on youtube. In my opinion yes, he is good, not anything super special but he has good vision of what goes on around him, good at finding those cut through passes, has a decent shot.Sky saying a deal is close, but then again sky are full of shit.

So that's a no from MourinhoHe passes the ball forward. He's agile. He's not Fellaini. he's what we need.
