Him and Ivan were the best in defence, the English left side let us down

It is true, it's too early to say... but when Anelka and Drogba leave and Torres doesn't start firing, and AVB insists on playing Danny as a winger, then striker will be as big of a problem as midfield.

I feel the same

today we have more egos and superstars, but as a team, I feel that one was better... not to mention I rate players like Zola, Eidur, JFH, Gallas (before turning into a cunt), Desailly, Cudicini very highly and they would get into the team of today in their prime anyday for me, except for Cudi Gullit, Vialli and Ranieri made some very intelligent signings

What do midfielders have to do with this topic?

true... Dutch usually don't struggle there as much, not to mention Holland is a stone's throw away from England

Get rid of Anelka, Drogba and Torres and all of a sudden we don't look so riddled with strikers. It's not gonna happen though. Torres has probably already levelled his transfer price with merch sales.

It's a pointless feature anyway imo

Sneijder has never played in PL. Although yes, I agree... right now we need an established playmaker.

So is Mata... and we would be lucky to have such players waiting for their peak. Torres might just be past his peak, or at least with the current personnel we have. If Torres sucks till the end of the season, then I'm all for going all guns blazing for Higuain Although yes, it feels unrealistic. I'm not sure Higuain himself would want to come, seeing how Torres ended up.. Real is strikers candyland.

Torres, if he continues being depressed and wood-legged

When their current contracts run out, they should either accept a substantial pay cut according to their role (you don't pay that much to a rotation player) and extend their contracts on year-to-year basis and/or retire... but ideally they should retire with us, I see no other way. It honestly sickens me to read that some of our so called fans would prefer Terry to be playing in Mancherfucking Shitty at the moment... or Lampard in one of the most unsympathetic teams- Inter. Not to mention that when Inter were interested in Lamps, he had one of his best seasons to date after that. The cries of "Judas", gloryhunting and unloyalty would've been unbearable to hear if Terry did indeed go to City... or Lampard being Mourinho's dick sucking bitch. You would all be crying that there is no more loyalty in football. Everybody is smart in hindsight. It's all about the muny, as Nicki Minaj would say.

and 50m for torres... the point would be that lukaku is one for the future, higuain would make instant impact

Lamps and JT must retire with us

I've had this problem since day 1. Sometimes the site randomly decides to freeze, meaning I have to refresh countless times for a thread to load up.

At the end of summer? 22nd June doesn't sound like the end of summer... in fact, I'm not sure summer had actually officially begun yet And the team came back from holiday at the beginning of July, so it didn't affect his squad assessment.

that team was better

You named 10 players in the starting lineup...

If that is the case, then there is no hope

did you miss the "JT past it" thread?

Adam? You mean Maxi Rodriguez?

that's one sad troll I liked Giovanni Dos Santos's the most I think... Neymar's goal left me in awe too. Stankovic's goal doesn't strike me as special as some of the others because there was no goalkeeper, but when I saw that goal live I was still like WOW.

GRAB HIM!

Too soon... he needs a succesful loan spell and if he keeps on rotting after that, then I would suggest him to request a transfer.

Well, it was enough to damage his confidence further.. he gets a game under his belt with no chance of scoring, doesn't look good on paper. I didn't see the point in taking out Drogba, he was one of the best in my estimation.
