For RBs? My first choice would be Azpilicueta from Marseille. Will probably cost only 12m, if you believe reports in January. Van der Wiel is a decent option but defensively, he's like Bosingwa. Maybe he could improve in that department training and playing with better players week in week out, unlike Bosingwa and wouldn't argue too much about it considering it will cost only 8m to get him.

Don't think he will go to the Olympics. Have not heard him say anything about it. Furthermore, the Olympics clash with our US Pre-Season tour and I think he would much rather train with the rest of the team and prepare for next season.

That would be better! England don't deserve him anyway. IF he plays well, nobody gives him credit but the minute England plays like crap, all the fingers will be pointed straight at Lampard first! And it's just sickening to see the journalists all being so nice to him all of a sudden.

Do we really have to create a thread for this topic? Could have just discussed in his thread alone.

Lampard has been ruled out of EURO 2012 with a thigh injury. Nothing too serious it seems. Good news for us going into next season.

Disagree. We DEFINITELY need a new right back. Have said this so many times; we can't go into next season with just 2 RBs. Injuries, suspensions and even rotations will come into place. Ferreira is already 33 and we can't expect him to perform well every time when he's being used. Furthermore, when you consider the ban that Terry is gonna get from UEFA and potentially in domestic games, Ivanovic might be shifted to CB if needed and that will leave us without any real option at RB. Should remember that our defence were almost down to bare bones in the last few games in this past season when Luiz and Cahill both got injured.

We don't need him. We have Cole and Bertrand as his heir already. And Porto will try to rip us off again!

Not blaming him for what he said. Nobody in their right mind wants to be a freeloader in a team when they achieve something. Everyone wants to be a part of it.

Seems very likely that the fee will be agreed today with the rest to be OFFICIALLY completed after the friendly on Saturday.

Has this been posted? Translation... There are reports stating that the club have sent the medical team to Belgium to get the medical done and seal the deal ASAP.

There should be a 'Spammer of the Year' award next year...

Too many spammers around. They should be banned!

You actually went and count it??

Those are likely to cost at least 30m too.

This thread have seriously gone bonkers in recent days. Caused a total meltdown in the forum and now you have members talking about non 'Hazardous' topic...

Blame Gourlay!

If you're going look at it that way, it means that we're basically paying Torres more than 200K p/w now...

After. Before that, it would be about 170K p/w, close to what cap stated.

The club won't be so silly to offer a 21 y/o that amount of money. Best to trust the French or Belgian media in this case. The English media will do anything to make us look bad and as if the only reason Hazard coming to us is because of the money.

No. No. No. The Belgian & French are reporting that he will be earning around 110K p/w only!

More outrage on Benayoun...

Too bad.

On that topic, he did mention this...
