That's true I think we will buy him either way. 1.First option we pay 40mil- get him now. 2.Second option we pay 35mil late august and get him. I would rather have him now so he can have a good pre-season with the team.But as u mentioned those 5 mil can help us on other deal (or something like that), so its pretty dodgy deal, the board will have to choose.
I would rather shop spuds best player, just to kick them on the floor even harder, just like when we bought A.Cole, arse fans were absolutely furious.Plus it will lead to unrest at spuds, I doubt the fans would be happy with Levy selling their best player to us. :D And make no mistake about it Modric is better then the portoguese.
Pretty much the best post about Pep in this thread.Ppl think that Pep inherited super-human squad but actually at the time Pep got appointed, Barca were in ruins.
Hulk>>Lavezzi and younger.I srlsy don't care about the transfer fee's if the board are ok to splash 40m. for Hulk iam ok too, why bother so much, its just football.
Player out :Drogba,Kalu,Malouda,Bosingwa,Meireles,Essien,Ferreira,Benayoun. Player in: Hazard,Hulk,Modric,Marin,Josh,KDB, (a talented RB). 8 out and 7 in, well basiclally its a big change but we surely need that.
We play tactics and formations that serve our old player and not the youth, the problem is alot more complicated then some think ..Its not only overhauling the A-team the club should be made to work together from the bottom to the top, SO IN PEP I TRUST to do that.We need to make that step forward from being mercenary team who buys players at their peak, to BIG club where everything is focused on one cause and PEP is the right boy to do that.
Who cares about youngsters when u can buy the best players. :dance: But srsly we don't really play football that is good for young players, our formation and tactics demands alot of experience and game knowledge, thats why PEP and the football he will bring here are a must if we are to use our young talented players properly.A team and academy should play one style so the gap won't be too big for the young guys.
If he is meant to be Word Class he will be.Yes we might delayed that by a year or 2 (because of our poor player management) but trust me if he is meant to be something big, he will be."Break his career" comments are BS, just look at Terry and his early days here.
If they get Modric he will be available thats for sure.And about ManU are they any treat to us really?We constantly own them on the transfer market.But yes u are right even if Real get Modric we won't get easy Shahin but thats normal for such a highly talented player.
Im thinking of what if Real Madrid indeed have interest in Modric and get him, could we get Shahin instead?He had disastrous season but it's not his fault, he was just unlucky to be injured all the time.He is a great creative CM voted player of the year for Dortmund and player of the year in Germany at a very young age, this guy is class and we can get him for what ?15-20mil., should be a great deal really.
They play good football but have mediocre players because they have no cash or are just unwilling to spend.We however have cash and can play good football with word class players which is =trophies.
Ye I agree man, having to choose between RDM and Guardiola is a headache almost any team in the world would be glad to have.Chelsea future is looking bright anyway but I just think with Pep it will be even more brighter.
Arsenal's style is fine, just they have mediocre performers, but as u can see its their style that won them 3rd place even in their worst-ever season.And its our current style that made us drop so many points and finish 6th.
