Torres was a better striker in his first Liverpool years than Cavani is now and was not worth 50m. That's what I'm trying to say. Torres had a dip in form before we bought him. Or maybe it wasn't a "dip" rather. More like his form found the sharpest, tallest peak of a very tall, tall mountain and then decided to jump off and splatter into the ground some 7 km below. We must avoid signings of 50m there is too much risk involved. What are scouts paid to do anyway? Anyone and his mother can say "yeah cavani is a great player maybe we should buy him". It's like FM all over again where you pay your scout roughly 4k a week to go to Spain, and all he comes up with is Ronaldo and Messi.

If you're referring to my post, I don't think luiz is bad. Nor his positioning (although it is not his greatest attribute to say the least. It's his wild runs that leave gaps, I don't want to see a central defender run into the box while dribbling past 5 men and I frankly don't care if he makes passes that would make iniesta jealous. Take a look around, the best defenders are no-nonsense players who do their job properly. Kompany, Terry, Vidic, Puyol, Pique, etc.

Ok, so here's a scenario. We pay 50m and he scores 5 goals in roughly 30apps, and we have two out of form crap strikers on us At this point there is a 50/50 chance of it happening. We must avoid marquee expensive signings at all cost. We won't even be able to break even for the ffp Ps, he ain't worth 50m unless we are going by "Kenny Dalglish guide to buying" in which case he is roughly 180m. Even Torres in his prime wasn't worth that, and Torres was a better player

Malouda hasn't played well since.. Icant even remember

If having some dribbling skills and some passing ability will make up for shitty positioning, then I want no part in this future.

AVB apparently not looking for a striker in January which definitely would give Torres another chance. But with Nico and possibly Malouda/Kalou leaving, I can't help but feel that we would be short of options in an injury crisis. Maybe not an actual striker, but a very versatile attacker in the mould of Aguero, Neymar, Hazard (though not those exact players ofcourse, too expensive)

It's so nice to see that Manure and Shitty fans set aside their differences and are now blaming the city of London for their failure to progress past the group stages

How is this even a valid comparison? Jones has played as first choice for another prem club and is getting lots of gametime at manure.

Barca/Madrid/Bayern home would be tougher than Napoli away IMO, so we need to show that we are capable of beating them.

For 50m? Really?

Is this forum by any chance, composed of mancs? I think Chelsea and Arsenal will go through. The real problem of this competition are the two Spanish sides and Bayern.

I am very concerned about bookings and red cards. One will change the game as we seen against city. I hope AVB drills it into luiz to not make rash challenges. It's better to give away a goal then get a red for being the last man. We cant lose points here because someone decided to stick a leg out without thinking.

Looks like Platini wants all the English teams out of the CL, am I right guys?

Actually I'd fancy Stoke to sign him. Don't know if he'd make their first team mind.

I will jump with joy if he can replace Cole. Cole still has a few years at the top with us mind you

Why do we need to "jettison" perfectly good players because of some silly style we want to play? If we want to play anything like barca, we need to spend another 100m+ unless AVB can come up with 9 other 5m players as capable in their roles as Romeu is.

Tottenham buy him for 5-15m We buy him for 30-40m

If he keeps on persisting with the high line and our current squad, he will get decked in the eye.

What I am saying is: People are making excuses for HIS poor form -it's not his Chelsea teammates -it's not his Spain teammates -it's not our styles It's his mental fckng block and if he can't get over it he has no future in the top tier of football. The end.

This is getting more ridiculous day by day. First his team mates don't suit him, then neither Spains style or Chelsea style suit him. What utter lies. Yes, a 30-50m player is incapable of any basic football ability

I have to say I'm pretty shocked with the standard of football at reserve level. Obviously everyone is young, developing, and it ain't no premier league. But to stroll casually when an opponent runs at you out wide :S

If we are seriously picking players by nationality instead of ability...

How many slaps can AVB give? I am so embarrassed by this nations media. Lies and fabrication, like the twentieth time this week. From Torres for sale to celebration dictatorship.

We only need a striker if torres leaves in january. And why would we want a cup-tied player in that case?
