So how much did Mourinho paid for Coentrao? :lol2:

Bayern has good mid and offense, but their defense is a joke! Only great player is Lahm, other then that not good. Madrid did almost enough, just that last goal took them by surprise. Madrid will do better next game and should be better match. But still hopefully Bayern to the final!

And what gives a difference if they are twice as hard to beat?

I hope Bayern win!

Real Football??? I still love my American Football despite what people say here!

Football one of the most amazing sports in the world! :blue scalf:

Henrique are you getting blinded by short termism?

It looks like Anelka still want Drogba at his team! Can we give Drog a contract extension so we can sell him for a little money?

Can people stop with the nonsense of ref helping a team? Just analyzed the game! How we can beat them, what tactics to play and such?

Any news on David Luiz?

That sounds so hypocritical....

Men how I miss goals like that from Drogba. Might be his last season with Chelsea, but thank you Drogba for all the time!

AVB the person that said he has the backing of the owner unconditionally? ....... Yeah right, keep believing what AVB said and what the board tells you.

Dude what you talking about? Romeu is a product of Barcelona academy, that Barcelona sold to us with a buy back clause. They can get him this summer or next summer. So with that in mind, putting all our hopes in Romeu is a very risky business.

This place seems to be very good with transfer and gives you very good market value: http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/en/?from=top_navi The got Modric quoted at 34 mill. That sounds about fair. But giving that we are a rich club we have to pay a premium of at least 5 mill. Making Modric close to 40m....what we tried to pay at the end of the transfer window! And they quote Javi Martinez at 19.5 mill...which sounds about right. No team will buy him for more then what we payed for Mata. So if Bilbao wants their release clause no team will touch it.

Speaking of Bosman: Alan Dzagoev free transfer this summer.... http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/en/alan-dzagoev/profil/spieler_69683.html

Actually I checked online and saw Drogba, Kalou and Bosingwa in the Bosman list.

That would sound like a reasonable transfer budget. I think Mikel can go for 10 mill. I remember Anzhi wanted him, and he should fetch that price. Essien not sure what his price would be. Malouda price sounds reasonable. Kalou I think he is leaving for free....likewise Bosingwa. So being rationale a income of 30 mill will not be that bad. If the board can double what we got to spend then we should be in good shape to get some quality players.

I don't think we will spend that big as before, which is why being smart is the key. Buying and selling players. Like we can still get money from Essien and Mikel. Those 2 sells should at least raise money for a Tiote. Meireles sell would raise cash for Kagawa. The exodus of Kalou, Bosingwa and Drogba will free up wages. And if we somehow managed to sell Malouda we raise some cash. So we can easily end up spending between 70mill in out of pocket expense which will not be that bad. It won't be a ridicules 240m like the paper put it!

Yeah so i guess it boils down to personal choice. I think for the players we can sell and the money we got getting 3 new players in this summer would be sort of a disappointment, which is why I am shooting for 4 to 5 players in this summer.

We do got Sturridge, and as mention Kakuta and KDB coming this summer. So if they look ok we can easily wing it with one great winger ala Hazard type. Selling Meireles for Kagawa should be no brainier. Meireles would like to go cause AVB is gone and Kagawa would want to come. That should be an easy transaction....unless our board will make it hard, which they probably will! The hardest aspect will be getting mid like Tiote, Javi and then wingers like Hazard and such....

Ah one can only dream! 5 players in would not be that bad though. If we can get 3 or 4 we are golden. I would still get Tiote, Javi and a winger as priority number one. If that's all the money we can spend on these 3 players then so be it. We can get the Kagawa, Azpi and more wingers/strikers in the future. As we got Kakuta coming back, KDB and hopefully Sturridge can be better next season.

Can easily replace Meireles. This is the player we needed to buy last summer and not Meireles. If the board manages to correct that, I will give them a cookie.
