Pizy

I know it's just a 1 match example, but did you see him against Arsenal a couple weeks ago? Completely bossed their midfield playing in a deeper role.I really believe he can do a great job for us at DM. He wouldn't be forced forward like he is now at Everton because we have many other players to do that job.

Buying a much cheaper and much younger Lewandowski would free up quite a bit of cash to invest in midfield. I like the sound of that rumor. Only downside is potentially seeing Falcao at City or United.

80% isn't quite high enough to ease my nerves. Don't wanna get my hopes up.

Can hold the ball up well, is a big body to disrupt play in midfield, is a ball winner, extremely dangerous on set pieces and corners, and can do a job going forward if necessary.Sounds like just the player we're missing to me. Plus, it's not like we're a club like Everton or Arsenal where if one player has an off day the entire team looks like complete shit. Fellaini wouldn't be asked to do as much for us as he does as the featured player of a team like Everton. Wouldn't pay anything over 30m for him, though.

Really!? That bad?Depending who we'd have next to him I think he'd flourish.

I really want him. For many tangible footballing reasons, but also because I'd dread United or City getting him. Or even Arsenal.

Definitely feel Shaw is good enough to start for us now. Completely agree with what was just said that we should buy Shaw and loan him straight back to Southampton and he can be recalled a year from now. Bertrand isn't good enough to be first choice for Chelsea. Shaw has world class potential.

I'm seeing people now say that MARCA are reporting that he'll remain at Madrid for another year. I hope that's not true.

I'm one who actually believes he'll come back even if we do miss out on CL. He'll still get he cash to spend, still have a great squad of current players to work with, and we'd be prohibitive favorites to win the Europa League. It's only a year. We'd certainly be more competitive in the league without so many competitions. Still praying we do make it though!

And I'm sorry, but Bertrand literally offers nothing. Okay defensively but offers ZERO going forward and can't cross a ball to save his life. Not the long term successor to Cole that he was christened last year.

And people seriously question why we need a player like Fellaini in the middle of our lineup. We are actually struggling a bit to handle bloody Basel's midfield. While Luiz can play a pretty pass going forward and hold up play, his positional awareness while defending is simply awful. Couple that with a slow Lampard and this is what it gets us.

Just as I predicted. This was never gonna be as easy as most here made it out to be. As it usually happens, we dominate for large parts of the game and concede a stupid goal and wonder what the FUCK our defenders were doing.

Don't know why everyone seems to be overlooking this one and think we'll cruise it even with a weakened side. If I've learned anything from our team this season it's not to be overly confident. Hope we field a string team and put it away early. The time to play our fringe payers is when the game's won.

He even said very recently that he still loves Liverpoop.

Don't really know about Alonso. Getting up there in age and was almost completely ineffective against Dortmund. If Jose were to bring over a midfielder from Madrid I'd prefer Modric or Khedira.

And people say La Liga is the best league in Europe. The soon to be Spanish champions are getting utterly embarrassed here and Madrid were thrashed too.

And Pep just walks right into the best side in the world for the 2nd time.

Barca look pretty pedestrian without Messi. And their defense is utterly woeful.

That's surely fake. I'd probably get a Fellaini shirt on the new kit if we do get him though.

I'd take Di Maria in a heartbeat. We've all seen how effective extreme pace is in this league by watching the likes of Bale and Walcott.

Also keep in mind that the RM locker room seemed worse than ours was under AVB. If the players didnt like him or want to play for him it's kinda hard to win the most difficult competition there is.

Just imagine Di Maria's pace out wide on our wing. I salivate at the thought. Not holding my breath on that one though.

LOL The Mirror says Jose will be given £100m to spend this summer. Now THAT is pushing the believability a bit.

WE LOVE YOU, JOSE!

I really hope Benteke doesn't end up at Arsenal or Spuds. I bet he does end up at one of those.
