If I was a mod you would be in so much trouble.

In fact I might put myself through mod school, just so I could become a mod and ban your arse.

If you've paid us your fees, I'm sure we can organize something for Kizza for you

It's in the mail.

Do what needs to be done. Have one other favour to ask as well if you're in a banning mood.

Cavani is who Liverpool should had purchased once they sold Suarez, they should have offered the 50m and use the rest for 2-3 younger players. They'd be much better off now.

The thing with Suarez was that he was consistently by far the most creative player in the league on top of being (along with Aguero) the most potent goalscorer. Cavani would've been great but at the end of the day he only gives you 1 of those things, we still needed to add creative options to our attack as well as a goalscorer or 2. You also have to remember that Suarez was incredibly durable, and while it was realistic to expect him to play every game without ever breaking down, if we were to replace him with a single player that would be making a huge assumption that whoever that player was would be similarly durable. I don't envy our recruiters the task of replacing Suarez, he had few weaknesses and was one of those very rare footballers that could do it all in addition to working like a dog all day. There's a reason he cost Barcelona as much as he did.

With that in mind, after it became apparent that we would miss out on Sanchez, the logic behind spreading Suarez's creative and goalscoring burden over several players instead of just putting all of our eggs in 1 basket was sound. We just stuffed up by signing Balotelli when we should've signed a more mobile striker in my opinion. Energy and athleticism up top is key to success when playing a pressing game like ours (hence why we've opted to play Sterling, Lallana & Coutinho up top instead of the lumbering Lambert or Balotelli, and subsequently experienced an upturn in form).

I'm not having that (I cant stop saying that since the scouse commentary started coming out).

Come on mate, you sound like one of those fancy boy Cheshire-Scouser hybrids. It's one word: 'Imnorravintha'.

 

[moomba]

It's hard enough being understood with an Australian accent over here let alone an Aussie/Cheshire/Scouse one.

 

[Magma]

eurosport say sissoko is in 'advanced talks' with psg, would allow psg to loan out rabiot to spurs.

presumably they gagged cabaye from having a chat.

 

[moomba]

Is Rabiot the one that was at our academy for a bit, but got homesick?

'advanced talks with bony'

rumoured to be around 30 mil

swansea dont half have us bent over the barrel at that price. lordy. would assume it means that nasty and sinclair are out the door.

 

[NTRabbit]

Legia Warsaw knocked back our bid for Krystian Bielik, so we'll need to find another 17 year old to complete our window

 

[pieman123]

Lol at 30m for Bony, i guess City need someone to warm Sinclair's seat on the bench.

 

[Magma]

it would almost be as ridiculous as a massive loan deal for a player with no knees

or something like that.

[moomba]

Ha ha, if we sign Bony

 

[chef]

We can't particularly afford to spend too much I THINK this window or next because we have the rest of the Torres fee on our books.

The 18m will be included in this financial year, it won't have anything to do with the summer transfer period next season.

It's not going to affect us, plus i doubt we'll be busy this Jan anyway.

As far as adidas are concerned, Chelsea are minnows on the global stage, hence your pathetic kit deal. If adidas are involved, he'll be at Bayern or United.

Apart from Real and United our Adidas deals in front of all the others, hardly minnows and not really pathetic lol.

Adidas would be happy to contribute to any of their sponsored clubs.

 

[glenferry23]

We don't buy Falcao, that's 40m saved... Goes a fair way to buying Messi.

Can always throw in Hernandez as a sweetener?

 

[Zidane98]

Inb4 united forced to buy falcao and then buy messi for falcao + hernandez + 20m.

 

[Bojan KantKick]

Sounds good to me. Might even throw in Anderson. Actually, nobody can lift Ando let alone throw him.

 

[kreglze]

I still think we may have the capital to at least enquire about Messi.

He would almost pay for himself in advertising and shirt sales etc.

That Arsenal board who have not made it a secret they love a pretty penny could see the financial worth in bringing him in.
