No. Old mercenary.

If we plan to buy him, then we should do it before WC because in case he does well, the price will go double and Im sure more clubs will be interested... I think there were rumours about Mou wanting Rodriguez back when he was still in Real and no one realy knew who Rodriguez was, they were saying what will such player do there...look how much Rodriguez improved since and Mou saw sth in him a while ago...now with shaw almost imopossible, I would be surprised if Mou wouldnt go after Ricardo. Maybe just a thing, Rodriguez doesnt look realy realy fast to me IMO. He is on similar level as Azpi, fast, but not as Shaw, Moreno, Alves, Cole in prime,...and his potential isnt as high as Shaw/Moreno...I can see Shaw and Moreno as one of best LBs if the evolve properly, while Rodriguez is more allround...still atm, he is twice the player than Shaw or Moreno though.

3rd straight season Adidas realy made nice kits for us...cant complain at all. Simple, yet classy.

Sevilla president said there is no scenario with Rakitic leaving...other words...pay a LOT of money for him. Probably we wont go into biding war with them.

Now with Rakitic unavailable, we might try to sign Koke from Atletico? Worked with Costa, looks strong and hardworking enough to play in pivot IMO.

At least Oscar and co will feel like home Realy nice kit IMO.

I think it will be a mistake not extending for one more year, but oh well...what a legend. Thank you for all the moments Ash! Its been privilege to watch best full back of last 10 years in our club.

Liverpool was linked with him for 18mio£

I agree, however Oscar needs to step up quite a bit also because Hazard needs someone close to his level so that he can exchange the ball etc...mostly I have feeling Hazard is level above all and no one understands him...

It all goes down to Oscars ability to create. If he reaches his best form and starts creating chances along Hazard and Willian, then Song-Matic would be good enough, because we would have plenty of creativity upfront. But if Oscar stalls like this season, we defo need a deep lying playmaker next to Matic.

Both. Cech will be still recovering some time, it would be great to give Courtois role in CL and Cech in PL or vice versa. If things wont work we can still sell one in january/summer. Im pretty sure thats going to happen. Mou said he will count on Courtois next season and we wont sell Cech while he is recovering.

Marca reporting Barca dont want to pay 35mio for Luiz but is willing to give Song+Sanchez. Dunno if there is any truth to that rumour tbh...

They will renovate the squad and will have to sell few players...

Sanchez is a right winger or second striker...Oscar is #10/CAM...Salah is right winger (hardly saying supporting striker as he doesnt score much). Sanchez and Salah are very similar...both realy fast and skilled, but Sanchez is more finished product. I cant see how would be Sanchez competition to Oscar, they play different position and role. Anyhow, if Sanchez would come, then only competition Oscar would get is from Willian who might lose rw spot and want to play in middle (where he is good too) Lw: Hazard, Schurrle Cam: Oscar, Willian, Rw: Sanchez, Willian, Salah Combinations would be amazing... Think of --------Costa-------- Hazard-Willian-Sanchez ------Matic-CM-------- The only bad thing is that neither of the three can deliver crosses on regular base to Costa. All three prefer to dribble a lot, maybe we need Di Maria/Koke on RW/RAM who would be able to put realy good crosses.

Hes been here for just half season and adopted brilliantly. Will look forward when he gets proper CM to play next to him, exciting times

Right winger that adds goals and width to game. If price is around 20m, why not... Hazard, Willian, Oscar, Sanchez, Schurrle, Salah...however I see no point in having Salah then...

He has decent scoring record, and will probably get only better. Would be good back up as we all know Ba will leave this summer. However I do agree he is quite slow and lazy player.

Song was pretty amazing in last two seasons at Arsenal...now we have Matic, Song isnt required, but wouldnt mind it if he replaces Ramires and Mikel (and possibly Luiz will be sold too), while we get another CM Matic, top CM, Song, Ginkel, Baker?, Lamps. If we are serious about selling Mikel, Ramires and Luiz, we will definately need another DM (besides more creative CM) and Song would fill that role good enough. I also like Gueye from Lille, another realy good allround DM who wouldnt cost much and looks like Mou type of player.

Why not Caulker then??

He is bit better than what people think here, Im sure he will eventualy get into United CB spot on regular basis (and probably england NT too), but in no way I want him here. If we are to buy another CB, go for Varane or sth, but another CB is not even required here right now

I actualy think he is bit underrated. He is still 24 and yes, italians are up and down and their league atm is quite shit (defences might be strong, but they lack speed and quality), but Immobile is a good prospect indeed. Cant understand why Juve dont want him, him and Tevez might be amazing. Him being second option here, not bad at all. I think if he goes to BVB, he will be one of best strikers in two years, but first lets see how he does in world cup. Costa, Immobile/Bony/Lukaku/Mandzukic and Etoo/xxx would be good enough IMO.

Should Luiz leave, MAYBE we might go after another CB either Varane or Mangala...but I dont realy see need to get CB. Both frenchies are great defenders and I would like to see them here, but they are not required. We have Cahill and Terry who will hold for another season and then Zouma, Kalas, Iva to fill Terry departure.

In that case our two fullbacks for next 6 years would be right back who plays on left side and centre back who plays on right side....thats just bad IMO.

Start to wonder if Costa will even want to leave now that they won liga and maybe CL too.
