Bringing in Moses, Hulk a RB and a CM (on top of Hazard and Marin) will just not happen all in one window. You can bet on that.

How come we were so worried when Ivanovic was suspended for the UCL? How come Ivanovic won so much praise from both fans and pundits alike for his performances at RB? Does that sound like merely a 'decent' player to you?

That makes no sense. The main reason our build up play was so slow and ineffective was due to the calibre and type of players we had. So how on Earth can our build up play still be a problem with players like Hazard, Mata, Marin, De Bryune and Hulk? Yes, it will take some time for them to gel but even in that period of 'Gelling' our build up will be a massive improvement to when we had Anelkalouda. Players like Mata, Hazard and co will have little to no problem retaining the ball against most teams.

He is better than 'decent'...

So to summarise what your post is saying: "You're wrong, but you could be right"..........

As much as you'd like to believe that, yes it will have an effect. If we get both Hulk and Moses you can forget about a CM. Erm...The players/RDM/club. It'll be more scrutiny and pressure on us.

That would decrease any chance of getting a Deep Lying Playmaker, which I think is more important than a Squad player (Moses).

Fair enough, but assuming we're not on the end of some badluck I'd expect us to go very deep into it.

No but we begin to get crowded with players. Plus the media will get on our case for buying so many players.

That's wrong. A 'Regista' is a deep lying playmaker. A Number 10 or Attacking Midfielder is a 'Trequartista'.

Agreed, 4-6-0 is a boring and negative system. Best left to the Catalans and Spaniards.

New players or not with that much Talent we'd be favourites for the title, end of story. I want a Top 3 finish at minimum with our current squad. If we add all those players I mentioned I'll be disappointed and a bit surprised if we don't win the title.

In my eyes, I see it like this Current team (with the new additions of Hazard, De Bryune, Marin): Top 4, no higher than 3rd. Addition of Maicon: Top 3, closer to 2nd than to 4th. Addition of Hulk & Maicon: Top 2, challenge/perhaps win the title. Addition of Hulk, Maicon & a Regista: Favourites to win the title, final of the UCL/perhaps winning it.

What time (US time) will all those games start?

I can't see him getting a look in, to be honest. He has to go on loan otherwise it'll be a repeat of last year.

Pretty sure he'll pick us over those clowns, even if AVB is there.

Happy to hear this. Seems like a formality now

Fuck off Livershit. You ain't getting him.

There's no need to 'hope''. Any logical person can see the facts and statistics point to the fact Mata WILL become the better player very soon, if he isn't already. Mata's first year in the EPL was far better than Silva's. He has been playing in a weaker side and with better players around him he will surpass Silva. He is also younger. Imagine how good he will be at Silva's age.

Dude we signed Omeruo a while ago...

If we get both, we won't get a Regista. Don't know why that's hard to grasp.

I was talking about Henrique's comments...

I wonder if RDM will go in for Modric for that Price? I suspect not. I'm all but ruling this transfer out. We'll be looking for another creative midfielder to play as our Regista. Moutinho would be top of my list but AVB's interest and the fact that Porto are unlikely to sell both Hulk and Moutinho in the same window makes his aquisition tough. I hope we're looking at Cabaye.

I almost forgot about him. Interesting to see how good he is.

Mata > Silva. It's sort of scary thinking about the Assist Machine Mata could turn into next year.
