Sokratis isn't awful.
Seems we have a fundemental difference in our rating of players, which is fine. As I said in another post, if they'd signed a quality CB I'd fancy them for top 4, as they haven't I'd say on paper we have the stronger team. The initial point was I think that Ceballos looked a good player, and he did.
It's worth remembering that since we last won the league we finished above them exactly once.
Disgraceful on our part. We truly have had an awful six years.
If United signed Sokratis, people would go mental, and rightly so. So slow, so poor positionally, and next to Luiz I cannot imagine that they won't concede a ton of goals once things get going. I could be wrong. Like ourselves and even Liverpool, their season lies firmly in the hands of one or two players. An injury to Aubemayang would be fatal for them, like us with Pogba and Liverpool VVD. To be fair, perhaps only City would be truly unaffected by injuries to a couple of key players.
I didn't see what all the fuss was about with Ceballos today. As I said early, he makes a five yard pass look very flamboyant. For all the flicks and tricks, very little came to anything. In my opinion he'll go back to Madrid next May with little tears shed, and Perez still desperately trying to find a buyer.
