    I think Eto'o is a much better fit for Chelsea. Sticking Eto'o up top is a huge improvement over Ba and you can still use Torres off the bench. If it was Rooney, you're really just sticking a midfielder up top or you would take away playing time from a talented midfield.

    Well lucky you.


    Hey Reekoo, who you going for hahah?

    I'm definitely rooting for Bayern, as I love Pep, despise Mou, and sympathize with Bayern.

    Pep ruined a team that won everything last year. Awful coaching, Bayern looks like crap.

    Lukaku with the 5th attempt, seriously? Strange to throw a rookie in for the decisive penalty.

    Everyone knew Lukaku was gonna miss. Too young, never been on this stage before.

    Oh well, better off getting his lumps here than in a game worth more than just pride.

    I know you and every other Barcelona fan I've ever met thinks that, but I have to disagree. The work he's been doing at Bayern is nothing short of mediocre.
    They play with no game plan, passing around aimlessly, forcing everything through their sheer individual quality and skill. It took Pep way too much time to realize Mandžukić is his best option as a striker, but he still insists on playing the best right back in the world, Lahm, as a midfielder. Martinez is now sitting on the bench because he refuses to play as CB, and rightfully so.
    Bayern looks like a shadow of Jupp's team, even after they've strengthened the team with great players since last season's end. They won this Supercup on Ribery's inspiration alone.

    If that's the case, please by all means send him back to Can Barca. Btw, everyone and their mother (minus Madrid probably) stalked him for over year to come coach their team but I'm sure you know more than all those other people who do this for a living.
