If we sell Lukaku, Etoo and Ba, we should target Bony as Costa backup. I can accept Torres only as a third ST next year.

I wouldnt mind buying a realy energetic and allround DM ala Essien and put Matic in Ballack role.

If he wants to stay without his teeth...

I would prefer Thiago Motta (I know quite impossible), but Tiago will do well too.

I think under Mou Zouma might become some player but if he wont get chance soon, he will never make it here...

Aurier and Sanchez for Arsenal would be deadly as hell. Aurier is developing into top class fullback and Alexis is already some player.

Wouldnt mind 3:5:2 in some games ------------Courtois------------- -------Cahill-Terry-Zouma?------- --Azpi-Oscar-Matic-Cesc-Willian-- ----------Costa-Hazard----------- Our defence wasnt too great when we didnt play defensive, besides Terry will get older and third CB could be great (Zouma would gain experience and his potential mistakes would be covered by Terry and Cahill). Azpi and Willian could be perfect wingbacks. Willian specificaly. Both can run for ages, Azpi is natural defender while Willian is more attacking. His crosses would be useful. Besides his ending product isnt that special, he would suit wingback profile. Midfield would be extremely strong, creative and with high pressing, we would boss midfield. With no Ramires, our defence would be more exposed, but with 3 CBs, and more midfielders, defence would still be strong. Finaly, our attack would be Costa, a target man and Hazard who would have more free role, could be second striker, winger, creator behind Costa etc. Would be worth a try in certain games. Chile and Netherlands have proved this formation can be very efective.

He will probably be captain in last game and I guess he will retire after WC? My favourite player, Im soo happy that he played for us all these years...

No no, Im more than happy with Mou work so far and signings, but if van Gaal comes to United, brings few players and finishes next season ahead of us, while Mou had two years to bring us on top, and a better players too, it would indicate that Mou didnt do his job in two years, while Gaal did in a year...but then again thats just pure speculation and wont happen, because Im certain we will finish next season ahead of United next year. Maybe clueless wasnt proper word also, but I hope you understand my point

Vela extended his contract with Sociedad. No move to Arsenal.

In the end he said he is staying here, good news

If Mourinho wont finish season ahead of United (with or without Robben) next season, considering how good team we have and how bad United played last season...

Great that Vidic is sold already, I think Gaal could do wonders with him next season if he was still there...same like Terry and Mou. United only needed motivated Vidic and top CB next to him...now they need two top CBs

If that happens, Mou is clueless. With the team we (will) have including Cesc, Costa and Luis, we should be front runners next year with city...if united makes jump from 7th to ahead of us next season, Mou wont be long here...I dont think Mou is doing bad job, but he realy must win sth next year with that squad... And MU first needs two CBs, two CMs and then maybe a winger. Strootman, Robben, possibly a dutch cb ala de vrij, martins,...and then Blind/Carvalho (are they still interested in him?), Shaw, quality CB...I just dont see them getting all that in a year.

He most obviously, thats just great photoshop right there

Suarez, Neymar and Messi looks nice, but if they play together, will Suarez/Messi accept to play on wing? And with them all more dribblers and finishers, who will pass and cross the ball in middle? Neymar and Messi couldnt get along because both want to be main players and Suarez is same. He takes lot of shots he wont go there and pass to Messi like Pedro/Sanchez/Iniesta does...

The only real problem Belgium will have in future are fullbacks...they have Tielemans who will add creativity in midfield and Januzaj who will be the danger man next to Hazard, it wont be oneman team at least. And Benteke at best, Origi improving and Lukaku maturing will give them more stable options in attack. But they have no fucking fullbacks this team...

He is very bad today...no movement, no desire to get the ball and do something...just bypasser of the game. He looks very uninterested, terrible attutide.

Fair enough, I think for Chelsea system, Cahill is the better defender than Luiz and that is the most important thing for us in the end.

That hair thing went out of control hh, but I remember people were saying how great Psg will be with Lucas and Marquinhos and all, Im sure the story will be the same with Luiz because Blanc isnt the man to push Psg that far. They paid 60m for Cavani just to play him on wing. Yet that duo didnt destroy opponents as predicted. And Luiz wont make their defence much stronger either. Oh and money buys quality? Yes we got superb quality in Torres for 50m. I completely agree on that. The scouts did realy well on that one. Torres was though to be world class, but he wasnt. Same is with Luiz. Since Leonardo and Carlo left, hey are buying without real plan. Cahill isnt better player, but a better defender who is more reliable. Nothing else to say.

Why are you brazilians that blind? I never said Garry is best in world, not even close. But he is still better than Luiz as defender and thats the whole point. No one is saying cahill is best, just that he is better than Luiz. And I hope you will undertand that part with awesome hair was more of a joke than anything else... And yes Gary was linked with barca few years ago, i dont mind if you dont believe it... Price is all about marketing, Luiz is extremely marketable CB and thats why the price was high. The whole thing made Luiz look like a world CB, but he simply isnt that. Anyway Im sure we will find that out soon next year when we see Luiz play weekin week out for Psg. CL stages will be interesting.

Look I like Luiz too, he is funny guy and great person, but Psg paid 50m for Luiz awesome hair, not because he would be great defender. Pastore went for 40m too. Does that make him a 40m player? Did he pay the price invested? Hazard went for less. Is Pastore a better player than? Was Illara ever worth 40m and therefore better player than Alonso, a player that RM bought "only" 35m? Money spent on certain player means shit all. It depends on who is the seller, how marketable is player and how stupid the buyer is. It doesnt tell how good certain player is. I can say that Luiz could be hit in Psg, but he wont justify the 50m, unless he makes 10 goal clearances and scores winning header in CL final for psg. And with Cahill in defence, we managed to stop Messi, and this year with Cahill in defence we stopped Cavani, Suarez, Chicarito,..players that scored against us when Luiz was playing as CB in previous years.

There was time Cahill was rumoured to be target of barcelona too. Check if you dont belive... But does that make any difference who is better player? No, Cahill is one who is more reliable at the back through all season, Luiz made few outstanding performances every season mostly in CL and in big PL games, but as much he was awesome, he was also bad in certain other games. To conclude, he played as DM this season here, sure there was reason why Cahill was chosen ahead of him by Mou. Defensive tactics helped and made Cahill look beter than he is, but with Luiz in our defence who constantly charges up the field, our team would concede more goals than with Cahill, despite defensive tactics. And there is difference. Cahill as CB is more reliable, while Luiz has more awesome hair. Luiz is exotic type of CB who charges forward all the time. He could be world class DM, but as CB he just isnt consistent enough. He has more passion than Cahill, but in every other part of defending, Cahill gets ahead. Cahill-Terry parthership got worldwide recognition, we conceded least goals in PL, 10 less than City. I dont recall Terry-Luiz partnership being called world class on the other hand. Bottom line is, Luiz is way too mistake prone when not playing for Brazil, he doesnt suit us and for 50mio, we can always splash cash on Mangala, Varane, Benatia who will be/is definately better in every aspect of defending than Luiz. And the fact he got sold for 50 mio doesnt make him better than he is. If 50m for Luiz means anything its that Psg owner is idiot. If he wanted strong defence; he would buy Benatia for example.

Im happy we wont get him...not needed now with Cesc and Oscar in team, while I would prefer more dynamic and mobile CM.

Nah I just think its going to be interesting which team will make best transfers, hopefully its us
