Why? If people want to discuss Douglas Costa, they can discuss it in here. We never lock a thread after another club has signed a player...

I never once saw you say this when he was here before or even last season when people were saying the exact same thing. You're just saying this off the back of one of his best games (by far) in an Everton shirt. Never have I seen you defend his technical abilities. Lukaku does not link up or hold up play as well as Costa does, not even debatable IMO.

Pato > Falcao.

Lukaku's technical abilities (i.e. his first touch and link up play) has always been the weakest part of his game, it's not lol-max opinions at all. Funny that you only try to bring this up when he's in form and doing alright.

John Terry, not Gary Cahill? Ok Daily Mail.

Been to Wembley once. Awful stadium.

I think Sky got it wrong re: work permit. Why would they give him a squad number if he didn't get given one?

Interesting.

The fact that Cuadrado seems to be heading to Juve on loan is giving me some sort of hope that the clubs are willing to strike a deal but are still negotiating the fee.

Why would they give him the number 16 if he was off out on loan?

Benzema -> Arsenal Aguero -> Real Madrid Could be a blessing in disguise.

If they get like a Javi Martinez instead of Fernandinho...

Yeah I get what you mean. They'll have to work something out. It might click, it might be a disaster. Let's hope it's the latter.

Lol, Demichellis is not replacing Kompany, pls. Especially not after the start he's had to the season.

Silva played wide left under Pello for a lot of games and has performed well there.

Nope. They were always going to sign a CB because they're short on CBs. If they sign another CB however...

They've got steel in midfield with Yaya and Fernandinho.

David Silva is a wide playmaker. It'll be Silva - KDB - Sterling.

My reasoning is the opposite, I think he's waiting for a big player to be available to buy in midfield.

So what is he then?

Front 6 for big games: Hazard - Costa - Pedro Pogba - Cesc Matic Boy. I would cry man tears extensively if we got Pogba.

What is he then?

Over Alexis, Eden or Silva?
