Tricky

Spain's number one striker in the euros along with a full England international? With a full Nigerian international in contingency? Err yes, yes I do....

Using that logic we should have another left back, center half, RB etcetra... If good forbid we have both strikers out Moses could back fill. Sure we could recall Lukaka and there is always the Janurrary transfer window.

They play two up front, we play one up front.... Kalou, Anelka, Sturridge and Lukaka started maybe 6 games combined as CF. Reality is we had two CF.... Three players for one spot is ridiculous IMO.

So your wanting to spend £110 million in a transfer window with FFP coming into effect? Guess I'm on my own in thinking we have been spoilt this transfer window. I'm more than happy with the squad just need to sell / off load: Benayoun, Malouda, Ferriera, Kakuta, Meireles

Out of that bunch how many actually played as a CF?

Sign him and it's goodbye Torres, Sturridge and possible Lukaka... Along with squad harmony. We have already spent £75 million, how would you achieve FFP? What happens to the 25 man squad restriction and the HG rules? Forget the CL and PL, we are not winning either, what we are doing is building a fantastic base for the next decade. (IMO)

Three strikers for one spot?

I'd like a DM, Martinez?

Cavani at 35-40 million is not a back up striker.

Waya man... 1 - No I'm not concerned, as a team we needed to change our style of play and that was never going to happen whilst he remained at the club. His form has been declining (look at his PL goal return) and bar the European games last year he was poor. I believe Sturridge is more than capable of covering, we only play one up front so we don't need three strikers in the squad. 2 - No, chances are we are going to play 50-60 games this year. Players shall be rotated with each getting more than enough playing time. Believe the only guaranteed starters within those three are Mara and Hazard. 3 - I'd take your CM pairing, offer both creativity, and defensive cover with a good engine. I like Ben Arfa and your front two but I don't think they would start for us. 4 - We wee always buying a RB, deal was struck today but we have been aware of the negotiation all summer. We have three world class center halves and Ivanovic can tuck in there if needed, so we never required replacements. One area where would could have improved is in the DM position. 5 - Ben Arfa, as he can turn a game. Your midfield is actually very good and your strikers offer up the unpredictable... Your a good team, definitely a top 6 finish for you guys this year. 6 - we are a team in transition. Our squad is now incredible young, so I see the season ahead as a learning curve. If you look at our squad compared to City one things stands out... we have built for the future they have a squad for the now. Which is sensible given FFP coming into effect this year. I'm very excited about what this group of players can do over the next decade. I'd be happy with top 4, maybe a cup final and knock out in CL.

£6.5 million is a bargain... ?

Agreed, he isn't a nine year old chasing the ball!! Also noticed that half the goals scored just so happened to have bounced into his general direction of someones arse. Obviously Torres needs to work on his bouncing of a defenders arse positioning. Something I felt would improve his game for a long time.

1 - cost 2 - FFP 3 - Where would he play 4 - need to strengthen other areas 5 - Agent 007 says he is signing Just a few reasons why I believe he won't be signing for us, sort out the RB and we are good to go.

Can't see Jesus performing away to Stoke on a wet Tuesday night, guy gives up to easy, not enough fight.... Moses on the other hand want afraid to get his hands dirty, also lead by example. Judas? Well not exactly a team player....

Why would he sign a one year contract? Why would we loan him with no back up striker? This sounds like bad business, no chance it would ever happen.

+1

Jesus would that guy give it a rest already... Honestly don't see us selling a player especially as he counts as HG (fairly sure of that). Besides he has bags of potential, would be madness.

I hope not....

Totally agree, he is young, cheap, versatile with bags of pace who beats his marker. Caused us a lot of problems last week, if he improves his final ball we have a very talented player for less than £10 million. Think the board deserve a clap, it's been a great transfer window. Just need to offload some of the kak now and we are set to go.

Ahh your wanting him behind CF... Now that I could see, but unfortunately we are overloaded in those positions. I mean what would happen to Oscar, Marin, Sturridge?

Ahh okay, be very tricky to introduce a Spain style overnight, more off a 2-3 year plan given some of the players in our squad. I actually feel Berba could be the answer, but I know I'm in the minority on that!!! lol

? I hear you ref Neymar, but do you really feel he could lead the line? As good as he is I just don't see him having that in his locker. If we bought him where would he play?

Agreed, would prefer someone more mobile than Xabi..... I'm lost as to why RDM has ditched Romelu (spelling) seemed a great prospect.

Honestly feel a cheeky bid for Berbatovs makes sense. He isn't going to demand a starting position and is old enough not to impede our younger players progression (Lukaka). Having said that I think Llorente offers something none of our existing squad can offer, the ability to hold up the ball and bring others into the game.

How old are you? "When I left him, I reasoned thus with myself: I am wiser than this man, for neither of us appears to know anything great and good; but he fancies he knows something, although he knows nothing; whereas I, as I do not know anything, so I do not fancy I do. In this trifling particular, then, I appear to be wiser than he, because I do not fancy I know what I do not know. Think about that statement for a while.
