IMO Jose would not sell for less than that. We have no reason to sell and even if we get Reus would not improve our team.

And why would Adidas want that, it doesn't reflect well when you rob one of your clients for a quick buck - and consdering we as a club are on the brink of becoming the next super club of the football age, it would be even more short sighted considering I think Nike would pay good money to rebuild their kit fleet. And as the other guy said, they need to replace Schweinsteiger, Alonso, Ribery, Robben, Lahm, and maybe Boateng - spending £200m (Jose would not sell for any less) on Hazard would be an incredibly negligent thing to do for the club.

IMO Mou is moulding him into a CM/old school no 10 for us. Ie defensive, less creativity. IF he beefs up he will be perfect for us, if not RLC will take his place happily and he will be down the road.

No way. Madrid's midfield and Barca's midfield are both weak in the fact that it's not balanced and they are both very average. Strip out their star players and at the end of the day Barca edge it because Suarez up front can still carry an entire team by himself (Liverpool) Without Messi/Ronaldo Chelsea could have a fairly easy shout of beating them. But Barca's front line just makes them so dangerous it's actually scary.

If Palace keep this up next season will be having Europa League football.

PENALTY

ZAHAAAAAAAAAA

Yes. And he's anonymous.

I would love Traore here next season. But it would be a fantastic summer if we get just Reus. I would be over the moon if we did - it would complete our AM 3. The only way he could possibly be a better signing would be if he's English. Maybe alternative is Sterling. Griezmann reminds me of a rich man's Salah - ie good in a free role but less so when he has defensive responsibility. Beyond that for me, every other buy is a luxury, especially now RLC is establishing himself at CM. Koke for me is not coming here and not worth the hassle of making it happen. I'd like to see Mikel out for Ake, maybe Ramires if we get an offer for him - he can be replaced by somebody English, especially since he is nothing special. The final person who would add something to the squad would be Schweinsteiger. Experienced, can play CM or DM, and Bayern seem to want to be rid of him. Could replace Ramires infact.

WHAT A FREE KICK JASON PUNCHEON TAKE A BOW The Palace RB looks good too. Ward...Be a good replacement for Ivanovic, the way he goes forward reminds me of him.

-----Courtois Iva Cahill Terry Azpi -----Matic Cesc Reus Oscar Hazard -------Costa Would be fantastic for smaller games. Fore bigger games though Cesc should go higher and RLC plays deep. IMO Mikel is out this season, Mou said he'd be making a few changes and this will surely be one of them. If I could have whoever I wanted I would sell Remy, have Charlie Austin as the backup striker, get Reus and sell one of Oscar or Willian, sell Luis and bring in an English left back, and get an English gk in place of Cech.

Agreed. Reus would be ideal for him, he'd be good value even at £80m IMO.

Reus or Sterling for me.

I still don't understand the decision to let him go. HG too.

Consequence of Mou's system. In the Brazil shirt he's a creator.

Eh? Mikel lost his Marker, Cahill tried to cover.

So I was think about a good cup team and came up with this: ---------Green Azpi Iva © Zouma Ake ------Mikel MvG Willian Oscar Hazard -------Bamford Subs Courtois, Terry, Matic, Sterling, Cahill, Diego, Cesc With the PL/CL 11 being ------Courtois Iva Cahill Terry Azpi ------Matic RLC Sterling Cesc Hazard --------Diego Subs Green, Zouma, Ake, Oscar, MvG, Willian, Remy

How often is Jose wrong though? The potential is there. When we brought him most thought he had more talent than Hazard - Clearly he hasn't developed at the same pace but if he steps up then I bet the tune here will change.

Absolutely - Brown too comes to mind, I'd imagine he finds himself in the same situation as Ruben has done this season and stepping up the season after. 6 English players starting for us would be absolutely fantastic.

Yeah why would we want him? Matic RLC ---Cesc would be just as good imo. Silly to spend on him. He'll either go to Barca and replace Rakitic/Iniesta or City to replace Yaya or to United.

Be nice to renew the English core too - RLC, Cahill, Sterling, Terry, Bamford (?)

That's a big shame. Essien style knee injury was it not?

--------------Cech {if available?} -----Azpi Terry Cahill Ake ------------Matic RLC -------Brown Willian Luis -------------Solanke If he keeps his word of course. Experienced spine.

Doesn't look too bad, he managed to walk off. Maybe a season ender though (ie 2+ wks)

Good start from Ruben. Played it safe but I think on his debut that was a good thing. So much potential. As for Luis... Fantastic winger, less fantastic full back. Luis-Willian-Hazard next match would be great.
