From your "words" to Gods ears...He is really great, but I'd still go after Hazard...

Honestly I admit, that I would more like to see we would never bought Torres and he would stay at pool and be back in form, scoring 20 goals in this season...here, he is just not that player any more. Passion he had, has completely gone. Now he tries to prove himself, instead of just enjoy in game. He is really a class and a player I always liked to watch. Dont get me wrong, I never liked liverpool (or disliked them), but this guy was just briliant. Respect, I'd say. Reason why I would go for Modric is, because he might be only one to bring nino back in form. Cabaye cant do that... Hope he gets back in form. I think that would be our biggest summer signing, if he gets in form...

I cant even think that our next manager will stay long, unless we bring top players in aswell. And old guard should slowly depart. However, I thought, actualy everyone thought AVB will stay here for long time. He looked like Mou, had sucess and was young...Roman had trust and it seemed that even if this season AVB wouldnt get on top, he would stay. At least that was the impression of Roman to his new manager. Anyway he left after half season. I dont think we should go after new manager, maybe RDM should stay, but he must rebuild team and dont stand along Didi, etc, but sell him and few others and buy new ones.

AVB told that romeu will be sold only if club will want to. Could also be fact of played games. That might be reason, he doesnt play much. If we keep him, we build with him, if he goes, we buy new dm. For now he is here and I count on him.

Look at interceptions and clearances, the guy is beast. About vision, no DM has some special vision, that be Mvila, Martinez or Romeu. But I bet, if Romeu would play as much as Martinez, he would be better You want spanish players, but Romeu who is promising talent, you would sell. If we were playing him regulary this year, he would be equal to Martinez next year. +he is only 20.

Heh I would go for same, except Modric for Lavezzi and DM. We actualy dont need two top wingers. Guys once you say to be realistic, next time you dream of two top wingers? Come on, what about Sturridge and Ramires? Danny has to play rw and use Ramires for replacement. On lw use Hazard and KDB as backup. Also KDB/Lamps as backup for Mata who should be cam. Then go for Modric, who can defend and keep the ball and pass it forward. If Modric plays as DM along Mikel, Romeu or Essien that would be great because Modric and Mata would pass great and there is also Hazard But: You will never get Hazard for 30mio but 40. And Javi Martinez for 15? You kiddin me? Bilbao told he can go, but 30mio is release clause. Maybe they would sell him for less to other clubs, but to us, they know we have money and they will want maximum. That means 120mio not 95. After all we have not been linked with Javi at all. Modric, Hazard, Hoilett and Azpi wont be bad. I can understand that you dont count on drogba, kalou, malouda, but romeu, ramires, danny are still very good players that should play. With rami and danny on rw, why should we go for another winger if we dont need him? lw (hazard) is more problematic and creative midfielder (modric). i would go for dm aswell, but it would cost too much. depend on money. Javi is destructive player and goes rarely in attack. Modric is different. If we would attack more, maybe essien could find his old form again. For him playing along modric could be much better.

No passing and vision? When he played under AVB there was article of his statistics. I cant find it, but his passing was around 90% accurate. The guy also makes few interceptions and tackles as well. He played very, very good. Barca style. If we sell him, we are stupid. There is absolutely no need to sell him or buy new player. Remeu-Modric Mata Danny-Torres-Hazard/lavezzi This guy is absolutely great when he plays. At least he did, now he doesnt play much, but he will be great. I can say better than Javi Martinez. I personaly like Javi but Bilbao wont sell him for less than 30mio. Mvila or Tiote are cheaper. Wtf for DM 30mio? And he is not exactly experienced. Recently he plays as CB for bilbao actualy. Almost whole season. Good but just too expensive. I go for Modric then.

I have feeling, Hazard will be 40mio. That's his release clause and I think Lille will sell him to highest bidder.

Piazon should go on loan next year. However he wont get much chances in our first squad and I think he should go to another team in PL or Championship. Together with Josh.

How much can we actualy spend, not to worry about FFP? I know as much as we go in plus, but how much is that? 70-80mio? Last winter we spend more than 75mio just for Torres and Luiz. Now, we cant afford 80mio for whole rebuild? Sell few players for 20mio, use them and that brings 100mio. So how much can we ACTUALY spend? Even barca is planning to spend 50mio atleast...And united aswell maybe more.

Hazard like Joey Barton lol Good one But I dislike the new haircut of Hazard, mohawk. Before, he looked more, hm, can't find word...less wannabe... Oh and btw have you seen this Hulk new haircut? http://www.whoateallthepies.tv/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/PA-11911011.jpg Thankfully, he changed back to black, the guy looked horrid in blonde...

Try to be realistic but one Sigurdson wont make any progress in team. Dont be naive. Buying top players is questionable, but only they will give this club to new level. I told my opinion who to get if we want some top football again. But it will be on coach to pick players and when talking about "realistic" transfers, so far no one told it, because no one knows if we will actualy go for top players, mediocore players, 5 players or just 1. But I can tell you that if we dont get 2 top tier players and few talented ones (4 in total should do), than we wont make close to top 4 with 30 point difference to top. And that is very realistic. Chelsea is big spending club and now, when we actualy need big players, I dont see why we wouldnt get them. 100 mio for squad revamp isn't much in today football you know...if roman will decide to get more players, they will be top, not medium. Or we will just get another Meireles on last day. Before all get new manager first and do it quickly or another season will be fucked up.

I hope Mata wont be to tired for Barca. Think we will win, but I might trade victory for tight 4:3 loss where Torres makes hattrick and starts believing in himself. Then he would be real threat for barca and i think he could score.

I would never spend as much I want, but what I need. But still if there is chance to actualy buy top players instead of mediocore, I'm in. 2 top players Eden and Modric, Azpi and free Hoilett. This isn't that much. And telling that people would laugh at us when we would pay 40mio for Modric, while they will find cheaper replacement? Particulary right, but every top club goes after top players. Barca, Real, United. Actualy it would be United laughing at us when they get Modric and we get Cabaye. Then how can you expect we will play for top of pl? Nothing against Cabaye but he is not on level of Modric. If we get Cabaye in the end and he gives us title, than I would be happy I'm mistaken. But so far, we need top players and no one will laugh at us because Modric and Hazard can only put us few levels higher. We already have worst team than Manchesters and real and barca and bayern and now you want cheap players? while they will get even more top? Hell no! Dont buy whole new team of top players, one creative midfielder and left winger will do fine. And two top players are very possible, realistic. I dont know how can you deny Modric while every united fan would want him. It is not embarassing to get top players when we need. And stop blinding yourself that cheaper options will give us what we need. Maybe 3rd place in premier league and nothing more. Truth.

Even he would be in squad, he wont play much I guess. Unles he will replace Villa , it could be possible. Yes he will be tired and maybe spain wont count on him much. But this would be great oportunity for him to actualy get in 1st eleven and become regular. In spain that is hell of achievement. Good luck Mata. Btw I really hope he wont play much against spurs, I wan him ready for barca clash.

Well he plays well now for Madrid. When he played against barca, he was best on pitch of real players. Also for such player, he is the cheapest option, Mvila and Tiote are much more expensive. Check van der Vaart how good he plays and he played not much in real. Eventualy Lass will come back in PL, maybe to Spurs once they sell Modric. We will regret If we wont buy him.

I say go after Lass. Most underrated dm in the world. we dont need mvila or tiote, just get lass and he could be our new makelele.

2 top players are nearly urgent. If we dont get them, 3/4 people here will complain how bad we play next season because there will be no top players to bring CFC back to top. It is all about getting right players, not just spending money. If we wouldnt need Hazard or Lavezzi, I wouldnt say we need him. If we wouldnt need Modric, I wouldnt say we need him. If you think we dont, you lie to yourself. Our current game is bad, just no creativity and no will. Getting average players wont change much. I know Modric is expensive, but he is proven. Why wouldnt we get him, but United can spend fortune on him? They are already better than us currently. Now you suggest they buy Modric class of player and Gaitan and Hazard, while we will buy Cabaye and Hoilett and Moses? Fuck no, United and City would beat us for next five years. If they can plan to buy high profile players, so should we. This isnt nonsense spending big money, but we desperately need few players. No one can blame us if we actualy pay 100mio for Hazard, Modric, Azpi, Hoilett and Lass. Buying cheaper players wont get us back to top guys, be realistic. And yes if Roman will offer Modric transfer, I will be very happy. Dont care if we play 45 mio, it is not my money and if the club will finish first next season, great. Getting half of squad of cheaper people would still cost us 70 mio and give us nothing. This transfers are unrealistic now, but possible. You can bet Roman still wants Modric and if spurs will be willing to sell (to us or united), Roman will surely make improved offer. I'd love to see our club get top through by buying talented players and putting them in our squad along our youth, but we are little too late. We should be doing that since 2009. Now, we have old squad and talents that havent play few games. Putting Piazon, josh and others in starting team will not upgrade our squad next season either. Put them on loan, or use them as subs. It is one thing if they would play along mata, modric and hazard, where there would be no pressure on the youngsters and their mistakes wouldnt cost anything, since players like mata, hazard and modric would play. but if youngsters would play with lampard and cheaper players, piazon and lukaku and others would be much more under pressure, because mistakes they would made, lampard couldnt repair. I want to say that you just cant develop youth players if you dont have fixed first team. And we dont...

Usualy I just go with few team players on beer and to tell them not to fuck the game and play nice...but it somehow doesn't work much. Any sugestions how to motivate them for spurs match?

I wonder why no one think about getting Lass back? This guy is very underrated at Real, when he plays the guy looks like Makelele. If he would play regulary, I think he'd be very very good. Has excelent passes, while marking and tackling at best. Better than Mikel and Essien for sure. He almost joined Spurs last summer, glad he didnt. He would come for 15mio I think, since he is not starter and plays rarely. ----------Cech---------- Brana-Terry-Luiz-Cole -----Lass-Modric------ -Danny-Mata-Hazard- ---------Torres--------- +Azpi and Hoilett. I think this wouldnt be bad at all...

Granero is underrated, but also unconsistant. I watch almos every madrid game and when he plays, sometimes very good, but sometimes he looks very lost.

3 years younger and in first season, he scored more goals and almost same assists as silva in second season. I agree overall, he might not yet be on level of silva on consistancy basis. but look how good team silva has and than compare to mata. and yet in statistics, mata is better. I think the guy has good scoring ability and could overtake lampard role eventualy. put him along modric and hazard and we are beast!

I think we will use white number and name on back for premier league, while if we made in champions league or europa league, the numbers and letters will be gold. And as usual diffrrnet font aswell.

Yes. He is very versatile and best at it.

Well, we really dont need 4cb. only two play matches, 3rd comes when injury. Brana serves if both get injury, which is rare.
