Why are you angry? If we got Modric, we might not won CL, we saved 40mio and Spurs will get half less money for Modric because they are so stupid. I am happy we never got Modric, because other way Meireles wouldnt come and he was important in semi final against Barca. For all thar fucking from Levy with us, we returned them a favour in best way. We won CL and took them 4th place

I dont care if we dont get him, actualy Hulk or Martinez would be better signing for me. But the point is that its not done deal and he is not Madrid player. Yet. Wait for official announcement.

Hulk isnt realy taller than Moses. Yes, he might be more stocky, but in two years, Moses could be that strong too. I just hope that Hulk is kind if player who will fight for every ball, not just try to do fancy stuff. And he will come here for better football, not just to be more famous and have more money. Like that Lavezzi, who has clearly lower standards to winning trophies. So if we get Moses, those 10mio up or down, he is worth of try. We can always sell him for 8mio minimum in next years and we will have more options in attack. I dont see we will get two class players, and whoever comes, Moses signing wouldnt change much... Also,I realy hope that KDB will take CM position eventualy to pair with Romeu. It would be great pair of young players. Kdb realy is versatile player, but if he can replace Lamps on less important matches this season, the. we dont need another CM.

Big part plays how player adopts to the club. Its not just talent, but also attitude to work. Moses is kind of player we need; he can start immediately and still at 21 has plenty years left. Also he had terrific season in Prem. league. I dont see why you see this player only as squad player...He is as big talent as Gotze (i know, harsh comparrison), but the point is that Gotze has more media fame. If Moses would be english, playing for Arsenal or whoever, he would be one of top 5 prospects in world. Not everyone can rip Sagna like Moses did.

Kalou in Lille - official

I am only wondering that he wasnt even the first choice at u21 tournament last summer. Montoya played all games, how is that possible? In recent season, Azpi become much better, but I think he will end up in Real, we will get Maicon.

"RDM has plan to buy Moses in next 24hours" That was yesterday morning news. Did we signed him or not? If yes, we might announce him on Monday.

I have seen worst, Di Santo had 9 at Chelsea, Lass had 10 at Real for some time, Valencia got iconic Uniteds 7,... My point is that Moses could easily end up with 11, if he will express wish to wear that number. After all, 10; 9; 7; are most famous numbers, but for example; Zidane had 5 at Real Madrid, then Cannavaro, then Gago and now Coentrao. Even such iconic number, yet it wasnt kept for next super star they bought. I wouldnt mind if Moses gets 11, that would only mean that he has destiny to become one of greatest.

Was Evra top class when he came to United? How about Vidic, Valencia, Chicarito, Park,...? We should buy such player and he has to PLAY regulary then. Not just to be squad player or sub...Slowly he has to start and yes, we would have one shit season, but next year we would have very strong team consisted with young players WE made superstars. Instead of spending milions on already made superstars... I dont see why we couldnt have United style, they have some own players, and mostly young cheap players that they turned into class players. If Dortmund, Porto, Arsenal, United, Barca, Real can have at least few players they bought for cheap and now they are class or they are part of their youth academies, then so can we have such players. Moses would be good, maybe first two months as begginer and then regular starter after october. If we will keep buying top prospects just to be our 'squad players', 'bench warmers', talents,...they will NEVER become good. As soon some player comes, you give him few games, then more and more. Bertrand is fine example, but if we had Zhirkow or whoever else also in the team, Bertrand would never be that good for us. At one point you want Lukaku to get chances, at other point to get another world class striker. Now tell me how the fuck is Lukaku going to be good if Falcao or whoever will play as our striker? If you are sub, you will never become good...Lukaku needs to start games and constantly play, i we get Falcao he wont have smallest chance to play regulary. On loan in Netherlands, you gain nothing but lose years. Xavi, Iniesta or such players would never be good if Barca wouldnt keep playing them. Getting such exciting talent as Moses is great thing, but has to be used properly. If we will think of him as a sub now, he will always be sub. If we will play him enough to start regulary, he could be world-beater. And RDM will do it, if Moses comes.

Personal terms are something else than official confirmation. We have been so close to hulk, yet nothing happened. And yet jmarlow said its done deal...

Possibly, but that is impossible to copy barca. I think we will play on possesion, passing and creativity, but also on strong defence and counter attacks. Less open than barca, but still trying to attack and keep the control of the ball. What will be most important is how Hazard and Mata will play together. We could have fantastic pair or could happen that they just couldnt play together.

He played last year, while he was injured this season for long time. That is reason why he didnt play.

Goal here or there is still far away from his 'form'. He might battle for posession and try to prove himself more, but he still loses ball often when trying to dribble, he dont score from far and dont dribble past few defenders and score a goal on his own. So far all that improved was his finishing and to mention that his euro goals were fantastic passes from other players directly infront of goal. I think Torres will never recover his top form and seriously, if he scores 10 goals in prem league and 15 overall, I will be happy enough. If he explodes fine, but I think he never will score 20 goals in single season again. Certainly he will never be player to lead team like he was at lpool or as was Rvp this season at Arsenal. Has become better but he is still far from there. I think he tries too much and nothing will happen with force, but only with passion. Anyway I still support Torres, but once I though this player as first name of Spain, one of top 5 players in world, having technique, dribbling, good with head, long shots, short shots,... Now all that makes him better is whole backup support and he will need to work things on his own.

It was jmarlow that was so confident he will join Real. Well that was far away...

Moses has number 11 at Wigan. We want Moses. Number 11 at Chelsea is open. Well dont have too big hope for Hulk with 11 on back, there is also Lukaku who might get 11 at some point.

jmarlow...

Just in case that Moses will be last winger we buy, then he will have lot of time to prove. With Hazard, Ramires, Kdb, Marin, Sturridge, Moses, possibly Mata, we have lot of wingers. If they wont be good enough, we simply buy another one in winter, maybe Hulk or whoever. The onyl thing I want is if we get this player, then better be that Rdm has plans with him. Robbie already given Bertrand chances and even Danny, Kalou,..got their chances. Sure Moses will have to prove himself in those first matches, then he will have more time and could become our starter if he turns to be good. Rdm is patient and will do what is best for our club, he wont rush with players just to win major trophies. First, he will give all them a chance and pick the best eleven, then we will see how his work will be shown on pitch. I seriously dont expect to win CL or PL, no one ever won cl 2 times in row, while City will probably too strong for us. Now we might have faster and more creative team, but they lack of experience, team work, etc. If we get Hulk or Martinez, Witsel,...we have more chances, but with this squad plus Moses, I think no. But that WC club trophy must be ours.

Someone said its a done deal

How that Real Madrid was never linked to Azpilicueta? He is spanish, young and good plus RB. Something that Real madrid needs. Realy weird...

Croatian media are never trusty, they just want to make fuss about their top players. I realy dont see how the fuck can anyone say Modric is going in RM. In that case, we signed Hulk about 10 times. As I see only one half-reliable source is claiming PERSONAL TERMS HAVE BEEN AGREED. Nothing about fee, time of arrival, official or anything else. Today media are one big shit full of lies and you should know that already. Once it will be official then OK, but I doubt Mourinho will pay 35 mio for Modric anytime soon. Mostly because Modric (as some of you said) wont play on wing. Just in case Spurs sell him for 28, well they bought him for 16 and that gives them profit of 12 mio. I guess that is a lot to them, specialy compared to 29mio if they sold him to us last year for 45mio. :) :)

Also dont forget we have KDB...

Martinez is like Xabi. Creative defensive midfielder with good long ball passing. We need someone like that more than someone like Iniesta, Modrič, Moutinho. They are creative in attack, constantly on the ball, passing with wingers and strikers. We have such players in Hazard, Mata, Marin. Mikel is strong tactical player with good positioning, decent passing and nice tackling/marking. Along him, must be someone creative, with good vision and long passing. That guy will just kick the ball to Mata, Hazard,...and keep himself in DM position instead of running with ball in attack and leaving open space behind. We would be very open in defence with another attacking minded playmaker like Modric. Even he knows how to defend and his tactical position is CDM, he will be more in attack than defence. With Mata, Hazard and possibly Hulk we have enough creativity in attack. Now we need someone who is creative enough to start actions and has good vision to pass the ball quickly. With Martinez-Mikel we would have possesion, defence, attack and counter-attack. With Modric-Mikel we would attack a lot, have possesion, but open defence. Something like Barca. And since our attack is not that deadly, we cant afford to have such tactic. Most of all there is needed balance between attack and defence. With Mata and Hazard we dont need another playmaker, but someone like Xabi Alonso or Khedira. Sure they are not available, but Martinez or Witsel are.

My point was that we already got Marin, Mata and Hazard and I think we need now someone who is physicaly stronger.

10mio for such promising player with great season would be very good. We can still sell him for 8mio at least next season and Its worth of try. Could turn to be great player for cheap and I guess such players cant dissapoint because people dont have too much expectations. I like much more that we buy cheap player who explodes in october than some Hulk for 40mio who completely dissapoints. Its final time we buy or produce some youngsters and give them major role in our team than just spending 40mio for players who turn into mistake.

Source? In that case, Modric will be sub. Dont even think Mourinho will bench Khedira (or even Xabi). They are important in breaking attacks plus Khedira is class A CDM as he was best German player in midfield along Ozil. Schweini was shit.
