Why would we give them a chance if they aren't good enough? Neither of those two are good enough to consistently start for us.Annoys the shit out of me when people say this constantly. We are a club competing for the highest honors and every single match is important. We can't afford to just throw in a teenager in this day and age unless he's an exceptional, potentially world class talent. Even matches against bottom table sides aren't sure things anymore as we proved last season. Unless this teenager is like Luke Shaw who has proven himself against proper competition then it's too risky. Our academy players who look amazing at that level would most likely get ripped apart at PL level. Only a couple of them could probably blend right away and PVA isn't one of them. Not nearly good enough for a top European side.
My current transfer muppet signing.I want to see just how dominant our midfield would be with he and Matic. Pace, power, great ball retention and link up play, and goals. We'd have tremendous balance in our side.
Don't know which is more ridiculous, £30m for a good but not great player in Lavezzi or PSG wanting half of our roster. Hopefully (most likely) just the usual Daily Fail bullshit. I would really hope we aren't dumb enough to pay that much for Lavezzi or even consider selling Hazard.
PSG really seem to be very envious of us and our players. They seemingly want everyone. Imagine if we bought Pogba. They wouldn't be able to take it. They'd be throwing insane bids at us left and right.
I'm with you here. Good player no doubt, but not at all needed. He's nearly 30 too. Would be enormous waste of money. I'd be absolutely livid if we swapped Hazard for cash and Lavezzi or something ridiculous like that. If PSG are serious about Hazard then offer £100m or GTFO.
If José had done what Simeone did today and ran on the pitch trying to attack a player he'd have been labelled a disgrace to football and the English media would be calling for his resignation or sacking. Flavor of the month Simeone does it and it's "passionate" and basically already forgotten. And for people with all this praise for Carlo "doing what José couldn't already" shit should slap yourselves. Failed to win the league with the worst Barca side in years by far and played Atleti without their best player in the CL final. Spent £100m + and had last years new signings settled. Not winning anything this season would've been embarrassing.
Seriously, though, why not tempt PSG for Cavani? I'm sure Cavani himself would agree to the move in order to get out of Ibra's shadow and be the main man here. Offer PSG around what they gave us for Luiz and they fall in line with FFP (not that they care). Cavani >>>>> Costa
Great. Another game raising, cuntish small team that'll probably annoy the shit out of us next season just like they did a couple years ago. At least Derby would've been an easy 6 points.
Aren't Juve in financial trouble just like the rest of the Italian clubs? Can they really afford to turn down even £35m? Test them on both Vidal and Pogba. Either one would be amazing. Vidal to me is clearly the better player currently, but I think Pogba has a higher ceiling.
Hope José and our board are on the phone with the powers that be over at Juventus. Pogba or Vidal and we're set in midfield for years and ready to dominate the PL and CL.
City fans saying that there "has to be" something fishy going on here. CITY FANS!!! They think we're now going to pay an inflated fee for one of their players to balance their books for them.
I, too wish him all the best. Think he'll prosper at PSG. He's basically joining a very similar situation there. Lots of Brazilians. Now we MUST make this cash count and buy a proper partner for Matic!
