So do I. I feel sorry for Willian but Oscar's development is more important.

Hahaha so the Oscar love begins and Willian hate starts. Believe this forum...

I love reading player threads when the player loses

I expect one big signing this window, be it Gundogan, Reus, Sterling, whoever, Jose will seek to improve the squad some how. The rest will be bench boys or bench boys. People like Pasalic, RLC, Christensen might come in.

He was fantastic for his age bracket. He's probably start in big games if he'd had kept his original development trajectory for us next to Matic.

With a buy option.

Fantastic coup for Monaco if it's true they're getting Pasalic for Falcao w/ a buyout clause. Swapping a past it player for a young, up and coming young lad who's top flight proven. Champions League football (if Monaco still have it?) will be fantastic for him. I fully expect Mario to do a Matic. I hope we put a buy back clause in there.

Walcott would be a signing and a half. Even gooners say it would be fatal.

It appears that it's only TC fans that think he's a passenger. Managers respect him and all fans I've talked to like Oscar.

He ain't worth £50m. Therefore if we were to get him (I reckon we might as well blow out and go for Reus IMO) a player swap is necessary.

Player swap deal would be great. £25m + Salah and or some of our vast stock of loanees

Good. Really want him with the first team.

What I don't understand is why Roy doesn't trust Jagielka and now Clyne over Phil Jones and fucking Chris Smalling... Bar having Terry, Clyne-Cahill-Jagielka-Shaw is probably the best back line available to England.

If he's happy, I'm happy He's done far too much for this club for us to be in a position to tell him to go and piss the rest of his career up the wall. End of for me.

Nah mate I'm sorry it was far more Smalling's fault for his poor defending against the striker. Oh and Jones' Casillas level of fail throw in.

WILSHERE JUST BAILED US OUT Walcott please. OH MY GOD WILSHERE AGAIN

Lol how about Henderson at RB mate... Why the fuck is Lallana and not Clyne coming on?

Really England? It's actually like Roy looked at Arsenal and thought "Hey, you know what this needs? Liverpool's losing mentality"

I'll be annoyed if we sell him. He's a great prospect, he's had a fantastic loan and was an ever present in a mid-lower top flight team where he was a holder instead of a no 8. He definitely could come into the first team - I'd say he's more ready than RLC, but he could fill in some bench roles such as Mikel's and Ramirez's in the mean time.

Cahill improved again towards the end and was good at the start. As long as he doesn't make that blip a habit I have zero problems keeping him, but of course Zouma will overtake him in the next season or 2 - But then again, Terry'll likely either be gone by then or be playing few games. Cahill is not amazing in any respect really (except knowing where to put the blocks in) but he's consistently 7/10, his blip last season was a one off imo, and the only defender not to shrink in an ENG shirt (or maybe the rest are just shit). For the future, Christensen will definitely be in with a shout. He's the ball playing defender we're looking for now. HG. Stones too - I'd like to see us buy him, maybe loan him back to Everton for a year. Fantastic prospect. Finally, Clyne. Replacement for Iva.

We will need more English players by getting rid of Cahill. Having said that though, bringing Clyne in does moisten one's appetite... If Real let him go I will be amazed, anyway...

Lol ok. So Azpi is crap cos he's a traditional fullback. No mate.

lol if they get Casillas Cech to MU is probably the best option for all parties, really.

It's too early imo to buy him with Terry still playing, Cahill being first choice and Zouma developing himself at thunderous pace. Maybe we could sweeten the deal by offering to loan him back to Madrid for a season.

Wrong. Fabregas barely ever played actual CM for BAR. Usually he was on the RW or as a no 9 because there was no space in the team. He does need to be more consistent...but soe of the comparisons here are getting ridiculous.
