Colombia is actually getting a golden generation of players. They where awesome in the early nineties with El Pibe, Asprilla, Valencia, Higuita and such. But after the whole drug cartel problems, Colombia took a drastic turn. Now they are starting to get back. We should consider having a look at the market from the future on. As we did with Belgium and capitalize on some promising talents. And yes Muriel is an interesting prospect. He recently signed a long term contract with Udinese.

Well is not like we are going to win the PL this season. With Mourinho comments is as if he is giving up on this season but focusing more on the coming seasons. He wants to work with more younger players, so if he is not going to spend big he knows it will be hard to challenge City this season. And I'm ok for that. Cause we have a lot of younger players that merits a chance. I mean just look at how Matic has turned out. Before our younger players where crap, now we are getting more and more quality younger players.

Yes, I believe in ba and lukaku to do the job that torres will fail to do, with the help of schurrle as well.

But ba has not had a chance. He just came this winter. He deserves a chance before going out. Then lukaku he is a beast. Add to the fact we just got schurrle, then I don't see anyone else coming in. The main problem with us continues to be in the mid field. That is the part where we need to splash the cash.

I have a feeling that he will go to City, cause I see Madrid trying to spend more money on Bale and maybe Suarez. Especially Suarez, since it seems he just wants to get the hell out of Liverpool and England in general!

And Kaka stayed his whole 3 years with Mourinho. Kaka will continue at Madrid forever and ever, just like Torres at Chelsea.

Kaka was also coach by Mourinho.

Yes, but we ain't going to get rid of Torres. He does not wants to leave. So what you going to do? Have two strikers that cost 50 mill each? Ridicules! We will get like City buying strikers left and right when we are stack. We got Lukaku he is coming back, we just bought Schurrle who can also play a striker. We got Ba in winter, who definitely deserves more of a chance then what he got. And as explained Torres. How do I explained that we are stack? We are not even looking to offload for crying out loud!

Madrid a big club has two strikers. Barcelona a big club has 2 strikers. City a big club has 3 strikers. United a big club has 4 strikers. Most clubs have on average 3 to 4 strikers. You don't buy more strikers when you got 4. Is jut not logical!

It looks like Suarez really wants to leave: Speaking to Marca he said: "First I have a contract with the club, but if one day I want to sign (for another club), Liverpool will hear the offer, as it does with other players. "They must agree with other teams, but the word of the player, in this case mine, is important. If you need a change, you should listen to the player. "Every player aspires (to be the best) and if you ask a child of eight years they would say one day they would go to Real Madrid or Barcelona." And Isco to decide after the tournament he is in: “I know nothing new and if I did then I would not say,” Isco joked to reporters today ahead of La Rojita’s preparations. “I will decide my future after the European Championship.”

Well I remember a lot of people said they don't understand the buy, when it happened and not months after. So yes they knew. My question then, what is the opinion with Shirley Temple? Is he decent enough? At least an improvement to Moses and I will be happy. Does not has to be world class like Hazard or big potential like Oscar, but just good and better then someone like Moses. Now not to say I don't like Moses, I think he is a better option then Kalou, Yossi and Malouda put together. He is a good bench personal, but not an effective player for those big games when we need a change.

Fuck. Then it is what I thought might happen. Come new season we will have torres, ba, lukaku and Shirley temple. So no cavani or lewa. Won't happen when we got 4 striker's.

Now he will have Kevin after Oscar and hazard. He will be spoiled for choices. Anyways hopefully those reports are true about his new contract. Totally deserves it, the little magician just like the old time favorite zola.

I still can't believe that Barcelona is considering him. Lets just pray that torres has a good confederation cup and thus keeps Barcelona interested.

And that's why for Mourinho he wont win big this season. Cause he knows it will be hard because of the strikers we got. We will stay with what we got till someone is sold. As simple as that.

My question with Rooney is why he would leave united for Chelsea? Does not make any sense to me. He won everything with united and they are a bigger club then us. So if anything he rather go abroad.

You lots run out of options with building your imaginary teams. Chelsea now got 4 striker's option. So no need for more till we sell.

Interesting read. I feel like Mourinho as well in that I can't wait for the new season. :-) Keep up the good work.

I like these threads. Good job guys. Now I wonder where is the lines women appreciation thread? I think her name is misty may? She is my favorite official in the world right now. Almost always spot on with her calls. And giving she is a women players won't talk shit in her face. :-) Anyways a new face to our board, which is great. Emanolo has been doing great so maybe she is a breath of fresh air to the board.

Not a watcher but I have a feeling he will be a kuyt. I think torres will be happy to have him around.....

Well, Isco worked with Pellegrini. So there is more likely chance he will follow him then go somewhere else. And giving the fact that Malaga will likely sell to raise cash, I say there is a higher chance he will go there.

Good, let the games begin! And in the end, Mourinho will win the Iron throne:

Suarez came from the dutch league. Benteke came from the Belgian League. Courtois came from the Belegian League. If the guy is good, he is good.

Well Mourinho talked about bringing back Kalas from Vitesse. And that guy has been a beast for that team.

Amazing if true. Doing great business the club each year. Getting better and better.
