Deserves his own song really. Shouldn't be that hard to come up with oneArgentina. We've done it since Heinze and with Tevez.

I agree, he has a certain vibe which is very sexyI’ve been thinking about for a few weeks, and now it’s undeniable.
I’m in love with him, and he just oozes sex appeal.
You see the visionI agree, he has a certain vibe which is very sexy
Is captain material .Loved this
You think Romero isn't good?Who thinks Romero is good? It's like saying you think peak Messi is better than Jonjo Shelvey.
He’s just another average CB who likes a tackle but gets caught out of position too muchYou think Romero isn't good?
I suspect he'll be chosen ahead of Martinez by Argentina...must be completely wank eh?
They don't even play the same side of defence, Otamendi is Martinez's direct competition. Romero competes with Pezzella.You think Romero isn't good?

God he turns me on.Loved this
Why the hell do Souness have a job? do Sky Sports have disability-friendly employment and he fits the bill?Tweet

“He’s not particularly special at anything”. He must be a wheelbarrow then.
He said something similar about Casemiro never having been a great player.
I have a huge mancrush on Martinez.Loved this
So the biggest issue with Maguire is that he was immediately handed captaincy, so we should sell Maguire and replace him as captain with somebody who’s been here less time.He should be made our next captain when Maguire is sold.
De Gea is not brave and outspoken enough.
Bruno is too much a whining kid.
It’s clearYou see the vision
It is daft though. There is absolutely no reason why one can work in Serie A or La Liga but not the Premier League. That’s also if you don’t consider Nathan Ake who’s a similar height a success at City, which would be harsh. He’s no star there but he’s certainly not a failure.The thing with those Carragher and Souness quotes is, at the time, it was a valid concern to have — a 5’9 CB has never been a success at a [top] club in the PL. But after a good 6 or 7 matches, you could already see how fecking good Lisandro is and how well he’s taken to the league. It’s at that point you’d expect them, as normal human beings, to hold their hands up and admit they were wrong. But they’d never do that — and someone like Souness will triple down until he’s proven right in a one off game or something.
So Otamendi couldn't play the right sided CB role?They don't even play the same side of defence, Otamendi is Martinez's direct competition. Romero competes with Pezzella.
Well said completely agree with this. A fault of most commentators.The thing with those Carragher and Souness quotes is, at the time, it was a valid concern to have — a 5’9 CB has never been a success at a [top] club in the PL. But after a good 6 or 7 matches, you could already see how fecking good Lisandro is and how well he’s taken to the league.

Most signings get time to settle before pundits judge them properly, with Martinez they completely wrote him off after 2 games and were talking like it's a fact he can't play CB in the leagueThe thing with those Carragher and Souness quotes is, at the time, it was a valid concern to have — a 5’9 CB has never been a success at a [top] club in the PL.

The biggest issue with Maguire wasn't him being handed captaincy, it is his clumsiness, slow pace, and his misfit for a highline system.So the biggest issue with Maguire is that he was immediately handed captaincy, so we should sell Maguire and replace him as captain with somebody who’s been here less time.
But there was a good amount of data that suggested it was wise to 'wait and see' how Martinez would fair in the PL. Carragher jumped the gun as soon as Martinez was hooked against Brentford. Even Ten Hag referenced his underlying numbers when questioned about his decision to sign him.The thing with those Carragher and Souness quotes is, at the time, it was a valid concern to have — a 5’9 CB has never been a success at a [top] club in the PL.

Not the sharpest tool in the shed, are you?So Otamendi couldn't play the right sided CB role?
Unless Otamendi suddenly became 10× better than he's ever been it should probably tell you that one player being picked ahead of another doesn't necessarily make them better.So Otamendi couldn't play the right sided CB role?
Ronaldo is a fool for fecking up that pass. Martinez created a goal scoring chance through sheer grit.
Beautifully simple.

He's geniunely like having a top midfielder at the back. One of the best middle/long range passers in the league
I wasn't here this summer, but surely that can't be true?! Maguire and Lindelöf seem quite unpopular. Especially the former.Most on here didn't think we needed another starting CB
just wait. After the WC hell he the first choice at the LCBWhat else must he still do to earn a starting spot for the national team then?
