We can't afford to splash 40-50m on him, especially after the Torres buy. 28+5 in addons max. Hes not even as good as Mata yet. Would fancy him over neymar for sure though.

Yeah, Lucas is really great too. If Romeu maintains this sort of form over the season, all I can say is wow, because he will be a beast when he completely develops.

I disagree. Lampard should start in the Wigan game. Maybe rest Meireles or Ramires for the Spuds game. Same with Drogba/Torres. Possibly Mikel on for Romeu, we don't want a young lad playing too many matches and getting winded too soon, especially as he has a key part to play in our season.

TBF I don't really rate the likes of Messi in comparison to Kalou.

Posted this in the Sturridge thread, but going to repost in hope of getting a response from a city fan. "Chelsea showed us a lot of repsect by playing like the away side ! Their celebrations at the end spoke volumes , Chelsea are pinning their hopes on a injury prone 34 year old forward , and sturridge who will never be a 10 goal a season player ,we have aguero,dzeko and balotelli already with 30 goals between them,no contest." From Bluemoon. I just... how ignorant can people be?

Is there any actual DM in the league who is on par with Romeu and his current form? Best one by miles IMO. Solid against all opposition so far, even top class ones like Valencia and City.

He should get the game against Wigan along with Lampard IMO. Not because of the pen, but since Meireles played two key games in a row.

These sort of thread names really screw with your head.

I am so sick of the high line. It feels like getting repeatedly hit in the balls with a metal bar.

AVB is a numpty, and Neville's Playstation 10 yr old comment would be an outstanding tactical analysis of our highline. A 10 year old playing football manager.

I just cannot believe our tactical setup We should be playing the way City are, sit deep hit on the break WE ARE NOT BARCA

Its the high line. Stop it man, its not a good idea. I already knew the second Cole made his run that we would have problems

Dalglish youth players at relatively low prices? LOL! Carroll 35m Henderson 20m Downing 25m

Whoever designed the daily star site should be taken into a dark alley and savagely beaten with a metal bar. Warnie, I agree that AVB should stay quiet, or at least stop venting his anger at the media at every opportunity. But today's premier league is far from the one in Mourinhos day. Add to that the fact that this team is far older, with less desire. It's a tougher job now, and the season is still not over. We may win something.

It's not one game, he has been poor for 1/3rd of this seasons fixtures. He's nowhere near the standard we've come to expect over the years, why is it so hard to admit it?

What does criticism have to do with respect? I only agree with you on Genk, Everton, Swansea, QPR and Bayer matches. However, a world class player does not go missing at every chance against class opposition. Remember when last season he was demolished by Valencia at OT? Well, these games are happening more frequently and it's a big worry.

Do tell which games this season he impressed you in then.

No, it's not. It's from the start of last season to the point when we bought him. He had 9 goals in 22 PL games, I believe.

Luiz should have been off, but linking injuries with a 11v11 game is not right.

Torres had averaged a goal in every two league games at a very poor scouser side when we bought him, hardly poor form.

That's not slavery, even if there was an actual buy back clause. They can't force him to join them.

I can't wait until Mikel/Torres leave so you finally understand that they perform a crucial and key part of our game. Warming benches is an art my friend, and we won't find anyone better at it than those two.

Ivan, JT and David "10 year old playing with a playstation controller" Luiz performed far more admirably in their defensive duties than Cole has. Going forward he has been decent and contributed a few assists but was torn apart again and again against top teams. Even in the Valencia game he was the weakest link.

Cole hasn't played consistently well since exactly one year ago mate.
