just found this stat. dont know how true - number of league goals scored when turning 21 years old rooney - 44 owen - 55 messi - 57 lukaku - 65 still people think he is not ready.

25 £ mil??? Seriously? Whetr did this quote come from. Sign him up if that's true.

it should not need a hat-trick from lukaku in a friendly match with belgium to make people say "he is ready". but since that is the exact thing that is happening, i feel there is something wrong with this forum. lukaku has been ready to play for us for a year now. his stint in wba showed he had what it takes. his stint at everton just confirmed it.

this would be mine.

you should really watch a couple of RM matches. the team was being carried by modric and maria. their heart and soul.

we had 6 defenders this season GC, JT, iva, azpi, DL and AC for the next season, u can expect more or less the same CBs - JT, GC, iva, zouma RBs - azpi, iva LBs - newLB (shaw/moreno/RR), azpi with a couple of youth/squad players providing cover. probably pva and ake/kalas/christensen.

And the idiotism is strong with this one. So tell me how exactly jose's team in RM struggled with playing attacking football despite the fact that they scored more than a 100 goals. Were all those goals on the counter??? Now lets take a look at jose in the CL 2010-inter milan win 2011- RM semi with a fiasco of a match against barca 2012- RM seni. Lost on penalties 2013- RM semi. Very poor first leg from josr and the players. Could have overturned the 4-1 deficit within first 10 minutes if not for higuain's poor finishing. 2014- Chelsea semi without a decent striker after we got knocked out of the group stages last season. Yet somehow this ACHIEVEMENT is being used against jose. What a

hahahah... no way in hell. he is out of favor, wants out and with rakitic seemingly going to RM, even RM might want to offload him. nothing more than 15-20mil. also, not the player we need. we have rambo. our first options should be pogba/vidal.

i dont want to challenge the strat here but just want to point out that 30mil euros for oscar is massively under pricing him.

my posts were about these people. specially about people who are comparing torres and costa. torres was a panic buy. a very very poor panic buy. he was already on the decline. mean while our board and manager have accessed the situation here and come to the conclusion that costa is the best man available. i would trust their judgement than these posters.

When some of us voiced similar concerns prior to the torres signing, they told us "class is permanent" Even if they are different it's still wise to conduct thorough risk assessment before committing to £32m investment.with our recent history with strikers, you can never be too cautious. I pray to God we dont sign this guy. and these are just going to the last page are reading 5/6 posts. these are people who just barely dont want to announce the signing tomorrow??? i dont think so? jose is one of the most successful manager in the world. our board has done some fabulous work in the market in the past 3 years. if they annoiunce the costa signing tomorrow, u can be 100% sure that they would have done the ground work. also what hamstring injury of torres. obviuolsy i dont remember anything about torres' career cos i simply cant care but going thru the stats, it seemes torres just had major knee problems. http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fernando-torres/verletzungen/spieler/7767

the context is NOT similar. people are being STUPID not paranoid. a hamstring vs a recursive knee injury is like comparing apples and oranges. costa is nothing like torres as a player. NOTHING.

so from now on, every striker signing will be started with "what if he does a torres". brilliant. judge a signing on what torres has done rather than seeing for urself how different the players are in style, fight, passion and almost every bloody sense. some posters footballing knowldge is exactly 0.

great. 5 points are going to be dropped next season(qpr).

courtois-cech-blackman a lopez-casillas situation. plus would give courtois some adapting period and cech to leave on a high as i fully expect us to win the league and some moe.

the discussion i had with rmpr during the draws was not only about RM's CL prowess but in how they are in general. a team can go on a good run in a knockout competition. things can go in their favor. the smallest of things which can be of the greatest importance. ATM had one hand on the cup and that equaliser knocked the bloody stuffing out of them. after that there was only one winner. u could see their players already crying in the dug out and on the field, it seemed their spirit and resilience was shattered. if this goal had come in the 60th minute, the outcome of the match would have been very different. against BVB. RM were not at all good. they got a 3-0 win at bernabaeu which could so easily have been 3-2/3-3 and dont even get me started on the match in bvb. i am not saying RM dint deserve to win. they won cos they were the best out of the rest. does not mean it changes anything i said about them. this year they were riding on the LA DECIMA wave. u could see in the players that they really really really wanted to win it and get this monkey off their backs. which was very similar to our situation.

the defence literally invited marcelo until the top of the box. asking him to shoot which he did well. powerful shot, low and going towards the corner. if GC had done what miranda had done last night, people would have ripped him apart. but since doubting TC seems to be the more controversial thing (since DL has been sold and not much controversy can be created regarding our CBs), the member now ends up saying rubbish things like HOWLER for the 3rd goal. do they even know what howler means. i can understand someone saying "it was stoppable" but LOL at howler.

well said!!!

costa has an attitude problem??? being a hard competitor on the pitch and being in the face of the defenders is different from being balotelli. and the fact that u r comparing his cuntishness on the field to balotelli's massive ego and attitude just shows and how much u know when u compare the fighting spirat of a player to balotelli's nothingness inside the head. how much do u think balo will come for? 30mil? at least. well same as costa. dont see the gamble. what effect would a player like balo have on someone like lukaku when he shoots him with an air gun? or when lukaku sees him flunk training and still start every match. also, this is balotelli's injury history. http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mario-balotelli/verletzungen/spieler/45146 which is actually much longer than costa's injury history http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/diego-costa/verletzungen/spieler/44779. also the fact that u want balo over costa and somehow think balo is lesser of a gamble is

What???Cavani- 70mil. Ibra - 32 year old, goes lost in all big games and he is INJURED TOO. Benzema- Balotelli- now u r just being stupid. Where do I start? Attitide problem, iq problem, is he a player that would have a good effect on a young squad. I mean u think costa is a "huge gamble" but name balotelli before him. That's just LOL.

RM 2-2 valencia, valladolid 1-1 RM celta vigo 2-0 RM 7 points dropped out of a possible 9 while knowing the fact that barca and/or ATM would drop points on the last day. also, they finished just 3 points off ATM, but u r definitely RIGHT in saying that they had nothing to play for. they won the CL and congrats to them for that.but also remember we won the CL in probably the worst moment in the roman era. a lot goes down to luck, like today, like the bvb match, like the draws.

dint hear a peep out of you for 3 weeks when RM choked their way in la liga and now u come out to gloat. arsenal won a trophy too, means they are not chokers??

well played ATM. brilliant fight. and to achieve what they already have is immense. congratulations to RM. maria and modric. the 2 players that have been their heart and soul.

Learn to read. Go back to my discussion with "korea" and read what I wrote. I said "this year". Atleast know what you are debating on rather than stupidly blurting out stuff.Also, this oscar is not mature enough is another bullshit argumwnt. He is the no.1 no.10 of one of the best clubs in the world and the best national team in the world. By 2 managers who are the best in the world. I would rather take their opinion over urs.
