wat?!!!!? if this will happen its... A FUCKING DISGRACE! we dont have nearly enough quality in midfield, and now we'll stay with Lampard, Mikel, Ramiers and Romeo? WTF! I'll hate Di matter if he's going to let him go.

He wont join in January... if the club thought we need him why wait to the middle of the season? doesnt make any sense. And why would Atletico let him go in January when its obvious that in the summer they will get the same money or even more? they need him too you know. please dont get your hopes up, wont happen.

I know its early but i think Robbie should start with this midfield from now on: --------Meireles-Mikel---------- --------------Oscar----------- Hazard-------------------Mata We have problems with our double pivot? so Oscar can be the 3rd midfielder to get more body there, and can still control our game from that position. I think its the perfect solution. Thoughts?

He isnt the right guy to play with Carrick/Cleverly, which is very much like Lampard isnt the right guy to play with Mikel. Scholes isnt mobile enoguh, do things very slowly, cant press - overall do very very little on defense. And those things being said by United fans all the time. The grass is always greener.... Lampard did very well last season (with RDM) when we played in a certain way, therefore i dont think he's totally past it. He just dont need to be first choise in Chelsea, especialy not with Mikel besides. * Wait, you dont think man u had to get a new CM/CDM this summer?

In the end of last season i'll admit that i thought Mikel+Lampard are good enough for it, but now its pretty clear to me they did good mainly because we played so defensevly most of the time. I understand now that they arent a good fit. Not because they cant pass the ball or something like that, simply because no one of them has that "Bulldog" mentality. Not even close. Mikel never been this way, Lampard had the energy few years ago, now he doesnt, and he's good defensevly but not that good. Now i saw Meireles in the Euro's, and i thought he was realy good at what he needed to do at Portugal's midfield. He has that energy, he can press, and he can be pretty responsible. He's a good worker. Now that we know that we arent going to have another DM in Tiote or someone like him, belive it or not i think Meireles should be a big part of this team, maybe the solution to our problem. We saw that against Newcastle it worked pretty well, Robbie MUST see this is the only solution. (wrote that in the deadline day thered.. think it fits more to this one)

Thats why he's still relying on 'back from retirement' Paul Scholes to save his midfield game and dont buy a new CM that he need so much?

A very very good window overall, im not even worried about Torres and Sturridge, the only thing that worries me is the DM positions.

Now i saw Meireles in the Euro's, and i thought he was realy good at what he needed to do at Portugal's midfield. He has that energy, he can press, and he can be pretty responsible. He's a good worker. For example, i dont think he was inferior compare to Javi Garcia in the Euro's. Now that we know that we arent going to have another DM in Tiote or someone like him, belive it or not i think Meireles should be a big part of this team, maybe the solution to our problem. We saw that against Newcastle it worked pretty well, Robbie MUST see this is the only solution. Edit: LOL i got realy confused, Javi Garcia is spanish, I mixed up with him and Miguel Veloso. I thought City signed the Portuguese CDM (who is actaully Veloso). How good is that Garcia anyway?

Doesnt mean they realy need them all. Infect they just dont. im not talking about us btw... i would be happy with Remy joining the team, even if i think we'll be okay with just Torres+Sturridge.

Harry Redknapp spotted at McDonald's drive-thru earlier. Staff claim he just wanted to talk to someone from his car window...

lol what. They are about to get Moutinho, Lloris, and maybe another striker.

Manchester City have agreed a £24m fee with Benfica for midfielder Javi Garcia (Sky Sports) A bit too much for him, but a nice signing for City. With him and Toure City's midfield will have an interesting partnership to watch.

Im pretty sure it will be: Sandro - Dembele -----Moutinho----- Very very similar to what AVB played in Porto- Fernando (Sandro), Guarin (Dembele), Moutinho (Moutinho). I think its a very storng midfield, imo stronger than what they had last season. I always thought Modric-Parker partnership isnt storng enough defensively. Now it looks very impressive both defensively and offensively.

imo Meireles is more like the answer than Lampard is the problem. The problem is that Mikel isnt mobile enough, and when he is responsible, he doesnt make the midfielders opponent get frightened by him and his presence. Meireles is very mobile, doesnt fear to slide and go for strong tackles. Like i said, if Mikel is our CDM, Meireles should play more next to him.

You always exaggerating when Mikel puts a descent preformance... and then when he's rubbish you cant find real explanations. Meireles and him were great today. he wasnt amazing or looked like Yaya Toure. Thats ridiculous. Im happy with his game today, and think RDM should try this pair more often if he isnt going to get a new DM. They complete each other pretty good.

Dembele, Fellaini or Witzel? damn those Belguims are insane, they should be such a fine team in the next WC. I think Dembele is someone who fits our midfield perfectly, more than the other two maybe.

He also made it sound like France is a big desert.

Tioteeeeee i wish

And thats the opposite from what i said earlier how? btw im not mad as the smiley says. its cool.. for now.

When im thinking about it, why its a surprise that we arent signing another striker? Gourlay did say in the beginning of the summer that 1. Torres will be the main man 2. We'll have two strikers. so... he might didnt lied

Im pretty sure they'll get Moutinho with the Modric money.

Its a guess? I cant see where he'll play there. Tevez and Aguaro are pretty similar to him and both are better.
