LDN Blue

I'd agree. But since we have, pure, young, centre forward as back up.. I'd say we might as well let him see out his contract here.

I agree with the first part. As for De Rossi being unhappy. He said that back in March. Since then they've undergone a bit of a makeover. New owners, new manager, new signings have all made a positive impact at Roma. Luis Enrique will excite their fans quite a bit and might be critical in De Rossi staying.. It is his hometown club remember.

Let me check our web-.. Never mind Direct, Dr English replacement I suppose.

£15million would be nice for him..

Who knows if he's qualified then..

Liverpool are building a good squad. A squad though, that's not capable of challenging for the title or any trophies in my opinion. Plus Dalglish will only be there for a maximum of 2 seasons, their manager after that will have a very tough time making that squad successful. United have, on the other hand, done well buying Smalling & Jones (regardless of their price).

Welcome back

Did this really need its own thread? Anyway. £82.5million = Carroll, Downing, Henderson & Adam.

Emenalo giving an interview to SkySports. Don't have a link yet. He speaks intelligently. Smiley character.. Seems a shame he was made such a villain on the back of last season. Asked about Modric he replied "Luka is a Tottenham player, I will not comment on this"

My bad guys. Thought he was a specialist left-back.

I'd still smile if I heard we signed Aguero.. Won't cry if we don't.

I hope so. He's played enough games in Iceland by now.. Anyone know the rules about this whole work permit things with footballers?

Good point actually.. Hadn't though that one through.

What? Boateng is a left-back. Alex is a centre-back. Why is Bayern deciding between one or the other if they play different positions? Even if it's true, considering Manchester City's big price on Boateng's head, they may opt for Alex anyway, especially if our valuation is true of a mere £12million.

Ramires still has a place in the squad along side the DM. Since Ramires is box-to-box. However the DM issue is one that needs addressing if Mikel were to get injured or for some reason, Boas didn't see him as a good player.

Yeah true point actually.

I sometimes think they print what they want to happen. That, or, "insiders" leak such stories in an attempt to start something factual based on it.

Yeah true. But I don't know.. He's a great player, but I don't think we need him as such. I'd like to hear more opinions though from others about if he should be played over Mikel or with him ect.

I like him. But he's very ill disciplined. Picked up the most number of yellow cards last season I believe
