How will Romeu excell in game if he plays once per two months? Guy is talented, he showed thar under Avb, now he Lacks of play time. Fellaini is great player, but he would play instead of Rambo, along Mikel, and that means too slow midfield. Any way, if we will go after striker that would cost us 50mio, we definately wont go after this player who would cost another 20+mio. We wont spent 70mio this winter, never.

For some time, our problem is/will be consistency. We dont have first eleven, only player that is truly cemented in first 11 is Cech. Hazard, Mata, Oscar cant play all the games, Terry either, Cole, Rambo need rest too. How? Why? Hazard was playing regular football for past three years, not missing single match and here, he needs rest every third/fourth match? I know im being harsh, sure players need rest, but for fuck sake, we have plenty of cover, and for example take a look at Iniesta, Rooney or Xabi Alonso; they play all the time. Maybe every month they might miss the cup game or something, but they always play league matches. Unless they are injured, thats diffrent case then. Our team has first eleven that either sucks (Torres), has problems with inconsistency (Cole, Luiz, Cech, Mikel,...) or needs rest every third game (Hazard, Mata, Oscar). This is some serious problem. Players need to play all the time, together and starting 11 should be always the same (unless there are injuries, bans, or less important games like cup games). Only by that you get consistency and leveling up your game. With all this mixing and tired players, out of form players, etc... you cant expect to play well all games. With Falcao, at least we would get a player than can play every* game without need of being subbed. *maybe rest on every two months.

Same old story...we defo need something new in attack...

I see you guys have great weather in wales

'if he comes here' - you probably missed that out...

I had hopes on him for long time. Whats enough is enough. Trying is not. His fear factor, clinical finishing, presence in penalty box, counters,...nothing. He doesnt even shot, he doesnt know what to do with the ball...

He plays well in defensive actions, but indeed his vision is terrible. Im happy with our performance so far, its visible that we play with some reserve, easy and calm. But Torres ruins the picture every time, jesus I hope RDM buys new striker, but I have feeling he realy likes Torres...

I agree that he fits well to our team, but with him and Mikel on pivot, we are only going to concede more goals. We are no barca, to have only 3 (+2 fullback) defenders on the pitch. I remember rumours about Modric-De Rossi pivot, who is enough creative but can also defend well. We should look after such players.

And its big chance that Muniain, Herrera, De Marcos,...leave spain too. But overall, basque players are very hard to move from their clubs, specialy from Atletic Bilbao. Remember Joseba Etxeberria? Player was wanted by biggest clubs from europe, but stayed at Bilbao all his life. Anyway, nowdays younger players will probably go after fame, money and trophies anytime...

The only reason I want Torres to stay is because he is Juan Mata's best friend. Enough said.

He might be bad penalty taker, but he is becoming fantastic free kick taker.

Ive heard that he could come as javi martinez replacement. But take into consideration that basks rarely leave spain. Anyway, we should strenghten defensive midfield to give more freedom for attacking midfield. Benat would only upgrade our attack, not defence.

Any rumours about Fellaini?

Because we look in the future. Falcao is younger and better and deadlier and...will make RVP his bitch if he comes here.

Benat didnt play at euro...

He is playing similar position to Xabi Alonso, right? So he has some defensive skills too? However, he is Bilbao bound. And his price is 20+mio Would love to see him here, but he is too small for CM. If we go for CM/DM, guy should be at least bit taller to give balance to team's height.

Hope you are wrong

Guys, we play extremely offensive football recently. Its impossible not to concede a few goals. Borussia sticks back and waits on counters. That is why people think Luiz is shit and Hummels good. If Luiz would play for Borrusia, where all team defends, he would be league's best CB. If Hummels played here, where only defenders and DMs defend, he could easily end up guilty for many conceded goals. Barca is another example because they keep the ball so well, however when they lose it, their defenders also make a lot of mistakes. Only a realy experienced defender that mastered tackling with plenty of energy and great tactical awarness (like De Rossi) would strenghten our defence. Young defenders have no experience to hold our defence right now. Only perhaps Papadopoulos (who plays very mature for his age) might done some sucess. He never goes forward and sticks to his defensive duties. But in the end its just guessing, even if Papadopoulos would actualy come, its chance that Robby would be still playing Luiz and Terry ahead of the greek, meaning that we wouldnt solve anything with such signing. Personaly, buy De Rossi, who is old enough to give some experience to our side and will eventualy give space for youngsters or buy no one. Luiz and Cahill need to play together for one season at least regulary to understand each other and gain more experience. Luiz needs to be more defensive and we might have best defending pair. Keep faith in Luiz, he has plenty to show.

I dont fucking care if SB is small and not modern enough, its beautiful to me and it has history, that special something. Not many teams have it anymore. I would only support expanding it if that would be possible, but moving from this ground is not acceptable. However, eventualy we will move on because of financial add-ons.

weirdo...

Im white and here in Slovenia, racism is not as big issue as in some other countries, so its hard to imagine how black people experience it. Im all against racism, and would support any campaign against racism. I knew the story, how racism begun and how painful it is to victims of it. There are a lot of black people I realy like, from tv, sports,...and they are cool people. I dont understand how can some duchebags act like that against black people by calling them monkeys or even worse things, threated like they are lower race....I would never call any black man a monkey (joke or not), it was just to put an example. Im not being ignorant, would love to see this shit ends as soon as possible. If my post offended you, I apologise.

I never said england is not suitable to him, but that massive change could kill him. I completely agree with you that he is something special, his long balls realy remind me on Gerrard or Lamps. Great prospect. I realy hope we will put him in starting eleven eventualy.

KDB evolved big in this season already. It was question if he can play good in stronger league and he did. Still a raw talent, but with full season of playing matches in BuLi, he will get experience and slowly going up in harder leagues. Direct play from belgium to england might kill him, but this is great for him to develop slowly. By no means, he is a top player yet or Chelsea starter, but if his play keeps getting better at such speed as now, he will be very good at the end of season. I can easily see him as first team player in few years.

The kid wil try to dribble every time he gets on the ball. How many players have actualy dribble in premier league apart from Ronaldo? Not many. Neymar is not Ronaldo. Maybe more skillful, but less physical. For 60mio, the kid is too big gamble.

Unless he simply becomes better than Ramires...
