UEFA Champions League Semi-Finals (Aug 18-19)

[Notorious Big]

Shows difference in mentality between big and small clubs.City blew it and Bayern leads 2-0 and even don't play half good they can.

Damn, Wenger really spotted a talent in Gnabry. Bringing him through so young..

What a manger. What a man.

He's Fifa's man now.

 

[El Duderino]

That's BS, Vela has been always professional. Even in Spain he was professional

No he wasn't.

The question marks over his maturity were even more apparent in Mexico's national team. In 2010, Vela was suspended for six months for his role in throwing a party after a game against Colombia. It was the start of a complicated relationship with his country and it fuelled suspicions that he did not view his footballing career with quite the seriousness he should.

"Carlos Vela didn't love football, he didn't love his job," Diego Mancera, a Mexican journalist for El País, tells Sky Sports. "He has admitted that he prefers to watch other sports, like basketball." Vela had also become lonely and disillusioned with life at Arsenal, according to Mancera. "He has said it himself: He was not happy at that time."

What if gnabry just got better? Its crazy I know but trust me it's possible

Who the **** cares about Carlos Vela? Dude peaked in MLS

Vela was given chances and every time he played in the league he was crap. Only did well in the League Cup.

Not like he went on to do anything special either.

Lol, he was better than Griezman in his team. Both put Real Sociedad un European competition and was better scored only behind CR and Messi in a two team league. He was rated the third better player in the league.

Even Griezman said Vela was the better player and should deserve to play in a big team.

He mad his mark in his first season at Werder. He was always good.

They just knock it about and stick to a method until the goals come. They seem able to play their way into form even if things dont look easy for them at first.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Bayern just a machine when they get going ni stopping them

 

[KrissKringle]

Vela was sold due to behaviour issues, lad liked to party.

You would party too if you were the chip king.

 

[GeorgiaGunner]

No he wasn't.

To be fair, Mexican fans / journalists are absolutely brutal to their NT players. That said, he definitely wasn't the most mature fellow in his youth.

 

[A_G]

No, he was ahead and with a CM future. He missed the best player, like Vela.

No. Walcott and Ox were set, it was Iwobi and Gnabry, as far as I remember.

Nah I remember it was the summer of 2016, that season was supposed be Ox's Year. Iwobi had only just broken into the team, whereas Ox was coming towards the end of his contract so if anyone were to go it would've been him.

 

[Rimaal]

Lewa having a mare

He's not a high pressure player. That was always his flaw.

Even Griezman said Vela was the better player and should deserve to play in a big team.

He had a good season in Spain after failing to make an impact in the EPL. Now he's a top 3 striker in MLS. Hardly someone to worry about.

The lad could've had the biggest chip endorsment in the world, what a shame.

Yeah, like those English ogres you people always hype. Why, because they born in a rainy island

Yes, Iwobi broke into the team and there was no space for Gnabry. I remember it too.

Agree that City's style is more rigid and it's kinda easier for teams to play against them when they have good plan.But difference in quality between two teams was way too big for City to lose it at the end.
