BS... I doubt we are planing to sell Torres...

And you watched all them play? Not just on youtube? Yes, Gotze is class, but plays realy not much time...Who is better has no point, because no one has proved himself, except Hazard. Right now, Hazard is best because of his fantastic season with Lille. But in 2014, we will see who will be best. My vote goes to Lucas, just because he reminds me on Ronaldo and is very humble, normal player. Unobsesed with Glory, very similar to Kaka, who is huge religian. Besides you can never compare brazilian and european player...

If you take apart where they play, Lucas is better. But yes in europe, game is harder, yet I dont take german league too much, since Drotmund fall off in group stage of CL last year. There are Bayern, Dortmund, Schalke and this year Gladbach to be good only. The style Lucas shows is better, more atractive for me and if he maintains such skill in EU, he will be beast. I think forwards get down mostly in EU, but some midfielders have become good. Also Gotze was injured most time, yet Dortmund won league, I guess he is not THAT important yet to the team. Both are class, Gotze has style similar to Lucas (but Lucas dribbles better) and if one will suceed in top league, the other will to. And then, Lucas will be wow. If we get Lucas somehow (or Gotze) I will be equaly happy.

Its true. His dribbling abilities are like ten times better. Its realy HARD to get in brazil squad (look at hulk), but Lucas has 10 caps already at age of 18/19. He is from brasil, they were always beast. Gotze is great too, but still he never plays as outstanding as Lucas. Believe me.

There is one thing I am positive; When Porto played versus Barca in supercup, Hulk was best player on pitch along Messi. But Neymar...he wasnt even close to ball when Santos played against barca in world club cup. I am happy if this goes through, been a fan of Hulk for ages and I still dont get how he isnt playing more for brasil, now when Pato is injured...Hope this completes in this comming week and calms me down a bit. Hulk and Moutinho/Lucas would be great.

If you got chance we sign "only" Hulk and Lucas Moura right now and nobody else, would you go for it? The other option is medium class 4 players. Iva-Luiz-Terry-Cole --------Mikel-------- ---Lucas-Mata------ Hulk-Torres-Marin- Personaly I would accept such offer. Playmaker and world class winger is all we realy need.

It would be irony if we win CL and then uefa throws us out because we will spend too much...

As I never seen this anywhere else, it is confirmed, we will play against: 18th July Seattle Sounders CenturyLink Field in Seattle, WA 22nd July Paris St Germain Yankee Stadium, NYC 25th July MLS All-Stars PPL Park in Chester, PA 28th July AC Milan Sun Life Stadium in Miami --- Great to see us against Paris and Milan, very good preseason for players like Marin (and all new transfer members) to meet with squad. I just hope we will be fully ready before these matches and not buy after them. Its good for them to play some time together.

Finaly...fantastic...longer...performance...thank you Hutch Cant wait too see him play more.

He could be our Valencia. Underrated, team player, skilled and if he gets chance, you must never write germans off! And dont say he sucks until you actualy see him play for us.

After game, we saw glimpse of how our defence will look like for next few years. Hutchinson and Bertrand are doing well, but I havent watched all game, from what I saw, both are good and could be easily replacements for Iva and Cole. 20 games next season would be nice. In summer, Hutch will fix his knee and then be ready for more games. But what you think? Can they get in games like CL or PL derbys if Cole or Brana get injured? Can they properly replace them in more important matches? If Hutch is good enough, then we might not need Azpi. But I still think Roman will go after full back...

I hope Marin will perform well, good enough to start. He has chance and with his potential, he would easily destroy opponent defence with Mata and possibly Hulk (or whoever).

I think KDB is currently better than Kakuta and if KDB will go on loan, so will Kakuta...

We realy have problems with strikers: Mutu, Kezman, Crespo, Sheva, Pizzaro, Lukaku, Torres have all performed less that was expected. Nino and Lukaku can still do it, but so far, they didnt showed enough for money spent. Everyone praises Lukaku (yes he played decently tonight), BUT he is striker and no matter how young he is, in 10 games you simply have to score at least once if you are anywhere near Drogba quality. He didnt...And that is problem. Yp, we have huge problems with striker buys...

Essien :D

I just want we get some good players. Nobody knows how will Hulk, Hazard play here... I like them all, But I hope if we wont get Hazard, we will get Hulk. If we wont get Hulk, we will get Muniain,...Few good players must come. I have made best 4 to come here, but probably if only one will come, I will be damn happy. We will have to wait on CL final, then on Romans decision about manager and then buy few players.

Lucas is inter fan, mostly because he watched Ronaldo there who is his biggest role model. Lucas is called biggest under 20 talent in the world, ahead of Gotze. He at 19 already has more than 10 apps for Brasil, better than Neymar. As much I know him, I think he has more chances to suceed in Europe than Neymar, because of his physical atributes. Neymar will probably got tackled every time. His style is certainly worth a look, has fantastic dribbling, but he lacks of consistancy. I know he is young, but still in brasil he should perform standardly. But his real two weaknesses he has are: 1. Selfishness. And I mean more selfish than Danny. With years, that will gone for sure. 2. He plays in brasil. In today football, only defenders become good in eu (luiz, thiago silva, marcelo), while midfielders are more questionable. The worst possible player in eu was Adriano who started great but faded soon. If we get him, I hope it will be worth spended 30mio. I like him, but its risky.

This year buy Azpi to get used to PL, playing the matches where Iva will rest/be injured/play on CB. That should be around 20 games next season. Then we will see how good Azpi is and eventualy he would replace Iva. Azpi is much more attacking player, but not as good as Iva in defence.

"Why putting another layer of gold colour on bentley, when you lost your engine?" Sell Mikel and Essien and see what will happen then...

Maybe we should just try the squad that will be used against Bayern. They played tonight and used all their best players. I feel, we might be uncooperative in final, if we play players who rested past 3 weeks together. Also how will Luiz-Cahill play when they both returned from injury and didnt play almost a month? They should be ready and somehow we need to play them together to see how they do. But still both CBs are still injured...

Barca:Real 1:2 Barca:Chelsea 2:2 --- Rivals cause huge dissapointment in players after defeats. And 5:2 is not something Lahm and co. wouldnt care But every match is new and there are 50:50 chances This game realy shows nothing for CL, but I am still more pleased Bayern lost 5:2 than in case they would win 5:2...

I pointed him out since he is cheap right now After 3 years, we would buy him for 20mio minimum. Buy-back loan would be good. But if we would actualy play him (I think he would develop quickly), we couldnt ruin him? But then, he should certainly play regulary, not some BS like with Lukaku. He is good, but if we might not snap him now, it could happen like with Hazard. Kid will then want to RM or Barca... We should do like we did with KDB.

There were rumours few moths ago linking us with him: http://www.givemefootball.com/premier-league/chelsea-arsenal-must-wait-for-dutch-ace

Buy this guy with sales of Malouda (20mio) and Essien (30mio) to Anzhi. Seriously, we should sell few players to Anzhi, they would pay. Pay more than actualy worth. Extend Drogbas contract, then sell him to play with Eto'o for 10mio. Good deal for both sides.

Rated at 150mio by Mourinho. By that, he clearly meant to fuck off with his leaving rumours. Lock this topic, we wont buy him for sure, he is NOT available.
