His fav player is apparently Lamps, maybe he can be his long term replacement who knows...

Roma wants Shaqiri apparently afrer Lpool stops pursuit...

I liked bvb kit last two seasons, but this one is bit ugly. But will probably look better in game with reus and co wearing it...

I know for one that this motherfucker has realy good long shot. But he never tries it anymore. This Wc or chelsea games; he doesnt even try. Its one of his better abilities but he seems to just leave it out of his game.

I was about to post that only to see you did it already The second part is hilarious though haha

Great person but he is average defender. Next to Silva, he is actualy decent. Similar to Pique and Puyol. Pique without Puyol is clown. He is libero, someone who just rams around the pitch, takes the ball and goes forward, abandoning his position every single time without even thinking how could that damage the team. Its not like he doesnt care about defence, but his emotions rush in him and that makes him completely uncomposed to be top defender. Again, the lad is proper character with great spirit, but sadly he isnt great defender. He however isnt only to blame, Phil shouldnt go all attack in first place. We saw Portugal do that, they got destroyed and same happend with Brazil. If this Brazil played counter football (and they actualy have proper players for that; fast wings, good DMs, etc..) they might win it.

What about Lars Bender? I dont think we will sell any of Cesc, Oscar or Matic. If we buy Pogba, one of these will have to sit on bench and I dont think anyone wants to be constantly rotated. But Bender could do it. He would still play a lot of games, but I believe he would also be preprared to sit on bench like Schurrle. Bender could play in double pivot to close games, or in 4:3:3. He is good going forward, makes lot of defensive work and has good engine. He would replace Mikel and potentialy Ramires, while Pogba is no where near sound to stick back and close the game (refering to Mikel replacement). And sure he would cost much less. However were there any rumours about him joining us recently? What would be the price?

Zero chance that Pogba stays in juve for more years. He WILL get sold this or next season imo. Pogba is going to be too big for juve to keep. And his price probably wont get more than 60m. So if they can sell now for that money, why not. And they are seriously interested in Sanchez, who will move this summer and juve wont have a chance to get him next year. Besides, juve has Vidal, Marcisio and Pirlo; they need Sanchez in attack more than Pogba in midfield next season.

Abidal gone to olympiacos but i agree with the rest

I would like to see Mou do a ''Varane'' with this kid. There is potential, lets see if there is proper mentality too.

He isnt (yet) as good as he can be, but he is true professional and huge Chelsea fan. I admire that and this motivation and hard work can get him realy far in our club. Go Andre!

Reports saying Jan Oblak from Benfica passed medical at Atletico and will join them soon. That surely means Courtois is staying here.

Roma now looks to bring Etoo too, after they signed Cole. They are also linked with loan move for Salih Ucan (biggest turkish talent IMO). And they are looking to add another winger. I realy hope they keep their squad together for at least next season, to see them how they do in Serie A and CL. --------------------De Sanctis--------------------- ----Maicon---Castan-----Benatia---Cole------ --------------------De Rossi----------------------- -------------Pjanic---------Strootman------------ Florenzi---------------------------------Gervinho --------------------Etoo/Totti----------------------- +Destro, Nainggolan, Keita, Ucan, Balzaretti, Jose Angel, new RW Nice squad indeed

Dont fuck up with this guy please!!!

Yeah, thats what I wrote in first post; crisis might be a bit overreacted. I completely trust Mou and the players, but there is worst case scenario possible that neither of them shows form during whole season. And im certain if we wont have regular performer in this team next season, we might lose the title to City again. That main performer last year was Terry/Cole/Azpi and we had best defence in league. Next season we need one in attack also. It doesnt have to be AM, it could be Fabregas or Costa (however I doubt that they would perform through whole season; Cesc goes off in second part oftenly and Costa hasnt played in PL before). To break small teams, we will need that one guy and if Oscar still underperforms, that will be biggest problem. Unless we sign Vidal/Pogba,,...and move Cesc in advanced role if that will be required. I feel Hazard will have to be realy on top next season if we want title. When he plays great we win, when he doesnt we dont. If no one will step up, we could face problems in consistancy next year again. Therefore I guess adding experienced AM would be GREAT, but we dont have space and I dont even think Mou plans that anyway. Getting older striker besides Costa, while shipping Ba, Etoo, Torres/Lukaku away could prove to be equaly successful too, because Mou could find cheaper older striker who would have no pressure on and would deliver goals when called upon. Our team has TONS of potential to be best in the world in few years, but right now apart from Matic, there is no one who could deliver top quality every (or 9 out of 10) game (Cesc and Costa arent included because they didnt even play for us yet).

I fully expect we will sign Luis and Costa (officialy), Im certain Costa is our player already, but for Luis, if it comes in the end that we wont pay that money and Atletico refuse lower fee, I dont know who can we sign then...Shaw is gone, RR wont come (he would be probably too expensive anyway), Moreno is unproven (thats why keeping Cole wouldnt be bad idea). If Mou insists on getting Luis and it happens he wont come in the end, I hope Mou has second plan already prepared.

I was hoping for better loan, france or something for Traore...but well vitesse will do it for now I guess.

Wolfsburg signed De Bruyne and recently Jung, Im sure their plans are big for next few years. I dont think he would be available for less than 30m, otherwise some club would already bid for him.

Juan Bernat to Bayern for 10m. Thats good deal, with Cole gone I wouldnt mind getting Luis as first choice and Bernat as back up, and making Azpi staying on right side permamently. Cheeky bid from Chelsea for Alaba in 3, 2, 1,..

The bright side is that Messi apparently realy hates Cabalero, which means Messi will not join City now

Last year's pool home hit was classy IMO, away and third were both disgusting though. This year home is decent, but last year was nicer while away while still ugly, looks better than last year one. And Chevrolet on ManU kit is terrible, they should put it on shirt in single colour that matches rest of the kit, not use original logo colours... Im genuinely very pleased that we have Samsung as our sponsor, it looks very nice and fits the kit perfectly. Other sponsor I also realy like is fly emirates (we had it in past too). Those two are genuinely most beautiful sponsor ''logos'' you can put on kit today. Btw anyone knows when our Samsung partnership ends?

That stripe in the back, with name and number (and without sponsor) looks abolute beautiful IMO.

That Chevy logo on united kit should be in one colour like silver or white, that gold looks completely out of place on kit...

The title is there, but might be a bit overreacting. However it is no secret that our AMs, naming -Hazard -Willian -Oscar -Schurrle -Salah arent (yet) reaching our expectations. They are very young and extremely inconsitent. Perhaps thats our biggest problem in attack, beside a quality striker. We have no player that would be performing whole season on regular basis. Pool had Suarez, City had Toure, Silva. While I have complete trust one day this players will form brilliant (counter) attack, I question what happens next season? Hazard can be amazing on his day and slowly, he should become regular performer, one that gives the piece of pie every game and does job when others fail. After poor WC (he was good on times, but he goes missing way too much and simply cant lead his team yet), we cant expect Hazard to perform whole next season. There will be decent start, few top months and few bad games in his play. Willian and Schurrle have potential to cement their starting positions, but they just dont do it. Their character lets them down and while Schurrle is still young, Willian is reaching years, where he should be on absolute top of his career. Oscar is probably the biggest mistery of all, AM who works as DM and with every game passing, the less creativity and attacking sense in him. Im sure Fabregas instead of Ramires will only increase his defensive duties and will drain him even more next season after already difficult one he just had. Salah is here for very little time and in all honesty, I have no idea why are we having 5th choice AM another young talent who needs gameplay more than anything else and he cant give any experience once he arrives on pitch. Neither is he expected to be our long term starter, therefore I realy question Mou here who could get Thorgan or Atsu for that role if he needed young AM. I always thought 5th choice AM should be older, more experienced, decent player who can be match changer, not young unproven AM. Anyway, the real problem is that we dont have any player in attack who would be regular performer and I dont want another young player like James, Sanchez etc in the team. We should add some experience, but heck, right now we dont have any space and Mou isnt even looking to add another AM in team (Lavezzi rumours are probably BS, but who knows). Last year, we were lacking game changer (Oscar was that in first months, Hazar in middle, but no one in the end realy), and now Hazard, Oscar will enter new season with realy poor form and one can ask if Oscar will ever reach his potential we expected. Willian doesnt have character to step up either, but Im sure he will do his job, while Schurrle could surprise a few if he develops proper mentality, miss less chances etc.
