Yann M'Vila is also heading to Arsenal! Rens chairmen said he played his last game in the team. WOW, Arsenal definitely have the best midfield in the EPL. Arteta, Sahin, Cazorla, Wilshare, M'vila, Rosizki, Diabi, Ramsey... thats too good.

I dont know if Real are better than us or not, but the fact is they didnt prove they are that good like they say they are. How many big big games they had in the last 3 seasons? a lot against Barcelona (and they won like 4 from 15 games or somthing like that..), two agains Bayren last season and they were pure 2nd best even in their win at the Bernabeo, and apart from that they played Spurs (2010) and not a very good side of AC Milan. Thats it. Just somthing i wanted to say lol

Thats where youre wrong. Did Mourinho said he want Modric to play with Alonso in the double pivot? he didnt, I think, and almost everyone of Real's fans (that i read) thinks Mourinho want Modric to get more options in the team. To play with a midfield of 3 (Alonso, Modric and Khdeira) against teams like Barca. You can be sure that they wont play with Alonso-Modric against decent teams. He wont change it from Alonso-Khdeira to Alonso-Modric just like that, his team scored like 200 goals last season... he dont want Modric for more goals, he wants him for more position. You'll see the partnership of Alonso-Modric against weak oppositions.

You know what fascinates me? how almost everyone (example is BlueLyon from the post above) in this fourm decided that the best pair for this double pivot would include a player like Moutinho or Modric, a 'Deep lying Midfeilder' like you like to explain, and you just dont bothered with some facts: 1. Moutinho NEVER played in this position, and for his entire career he played in a 3 men midfield when he's the one who playes upfront (like Lamps along the years). 2. Modric did play in spurs in this position, but do we realy want to be as exposed defensevly as spurs are? not for our level. 3. How is it that every manager of the best teams in the world, who use this 4-2-3-1 formation, disagree with you? look at that: Bayren playes with Gustavo (with Martinez next season) and Schweinsteiger. Schweinsteiger is not a CDM, but he's way more of a defensev type of player than Modric. Real Madrid are playing in the same system- Khdeira and Alonso who is very similar to Schweini, even more defensev. City are playing with Yaya and Barry, and Mancini wanted De Rossi this summer. Do you see what they are all doing? when you play 4-2-3-1 you firstly need strong midfield. The fact that there arent many good options like De Rossi, Alonso, Schweini in the market, doesnt mean its right to go for someone like Modric. If we are realy in for a midfielder, its need to be somone like Axel Witzel.

He also said it looks like he's going to stay in England, and he's talking to number of clubs. Im guessing he'll return to West Ham...

Why we need a striker (i mean a big named one)? i agree with those who prefer a striker over Modric, but we dont NEED a striker when we have Torres and Sturridge. We need a striker only if there is an agreement in the club that Torres is not the one to lead us. Torres and Cavani probably wont work for Torres. Its a risk.

מה אתה מסטול מה הקשר אגב רציתי לשאול אותך, אולי תנסה את ASSOCER? מכיר? אתר גדול עם המון פורומים- אנגלי, ספרדי, איטלקי ועוד, הכל מהכל, גם לא כדורגל. אני שם כבר כמעט שנתיים באמת פורום כיפי עם משתמשים נהדרים עם המון ידע. יש שם כמובן קהילה קטנה של אוהדי צ'לסי, צריכים חיזוקים...

I dont want Modric so much, i much prefer Hulk or Cavani, but this could be a classic! When Modric signs with Chelsea we are fucking Mo and Real who were in a massive hunt for him all summer and most importantly we are fucking Liverpool and Arsenal who wanted Sahin, now he cant leave!!!! mohohohohohohohohoho (evil laughs)

In Croatia they are saying Mo gave up on Luka after Levy said he wants more money http://translate.google.co.il/translate?hl=iw&sl=hr&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.vecernji.hr%2Fsport%2Fvijesti%2Fneocekivani-preokret-madridu-mourinho-odustao-luke-clanak-442907

Hazard also played 4-3-3 at Lile. And C.Ronaldo is playing LW in Real's 4-2-3-1, and he's very similar to Hulk. Hulk and Hazard will need to contribute more defensivly but its definitely not strange to assume they could do this.

He'll usualy be a starter if he comes. If RDM want him so much, there is a good reason for it, i guess he wants more than won goal scorer in the line up. With Hazard-Mata-Oscar and Torres we have just Torres who's also questionable about scoring goals... most teams plays with more goal threats than we will do without having Hulk. Anyway, i think we'll have a lot of rotations, we know RDM like it.

We should try... punch him in the nose.

Would you let it go already? if the club thinks Hulk is the right player for our system, and they think its worth the extra 10m-20m so we'll get even stronger and more ready going to the new season, then be it. If he'll be as good as we expect from him, no one will remember his price. And If he'll flop, it wont metter if it was 40m or 50m (Euros), and he's not Torres and his move wont be such a hugh deal as it was with Torres anyway... and another thing, people say "oh no i prefer we'll spend it on Apzi, Moses and Witsel". We wont bring any other big star this summer other than Hulk/Cavani, if we'll fail with both we wont sign someone like Witsel instead, so there is not point in those comments.

He might can, dont think we should play him there, for now at least. It will be even worse than with Modric... but i get what you mean, now we definitely dont need to think about a 'Deep Lying Playmaker'.

Class midfielder. But he cost too much for us to get him this transfer window as we spend so much already (and probably going to spend some more), so its very unlikely. I wish he'll stay at Benfica so we could get him next summer. Im not sure he can/should play in the real DM position (i mean the most defensive midfielder in the formation), but he's perfect to be the one who plays near him (a bit like Yaya Toure in City).

And for the entire summer almost everyone here were dying to get Modric... like i said before, it would have been a suicide to play him with Mikel in midfield. I still belive Lampard and Mikel/Essien could sort it out togheter, at least i think we should see some more of it before deciding, but anyway- as i said all summer- with those players (Mata, Hazard, Torres and co) the most important thing is to have a STRONG midfield. We do have enough creativity upront.

No, the hugh price tag comes from the fact that he was Porto's best player in the last two seasons when they won 4 trophis. And yes, he was considered and realy was their biggest star in 2010/11 when they had Falcao. Porto dont want to lose him so they ask for that money, and maybe Hulk dont want the move that much like other players.. maybe he doesnt care about moving on to a better team and he's just happy at Porto. Anyway, i do agree that he's overpriced and maybe a bit overrated. He could have bring much to our game but i dont think he's talented like Hazard for example. The best thing about him is that he's a HUGH goal threat from the right wing, and now we need to look somewhere else, and there arent alot of players like him. Instead i think we should just go for Cavani, this will give us nice opions. Torres and Cavani... it could work.

Transfer Central TNC ‏@TransferNewsCen Napoli are keen on Raul Meireles and he may be used in the deal. Chelsea will bid if the fee is at a realistic price. Premature stage -W.

but more importantly.. who is she?

Thats not it. Beigl says a 42m Euros deal has been agreed...

Daniel Sturridge.

You can write all that in one single post you know...

45M euros for freaking Lucas? thats unbelievably ridiculous. This player isnt even consider as a big player in Brazil. They are so stupid... they have more than enough wingers already, they should spend the money on other positions.

Wish its true.. not realy like his style... dont think he can improve us too much.

DId you saw City last season? did one of Silva, Nasri or Aguaro ever played in the same position 3 attacks in a row? Maybe the formation will say Mata is playing one the right or left, but he wont play as a real left/right winger for a full game.
