Tricky

Yeah if Lukaka is off I'd imagine we have something lined up.... Doubt it's Cavani though, more likely Moses. Oh and please, please, please take Merieles, what's a pile of used pants that guy has been since signing for us. If they guy was playing one touch against a wall on his own he would still manage to give the ball away. PANTS!!

Have you been to Naples? That part of the coast is like a slice of heaven.... be a tough place to leave.

19th century scientific term used to justify racial superiority. The worlds best super marathon runners are Asian, the worlds best female marathon runner is Caucasian. Not sure I like this "they have more stamina because they are African" argument. Mainly because it's a load of BS.... Back on topic, hoping they push this deal through quickly.

Please stop with the... "they run far because they are African", there is a term for this kind of generalisisms.

Finally, we can put this farce to bed... The fee and the wage demands would have meant a £80 million deal over 5 years, no way that was ever going to happen this isn't FM. Moses and Azi it is then, can't wait for the season to start.

Well I've read the OP so I'm not mentioning the usual super star names. If we want a contingency / support for Torres what's wrong with Defoe or as suggested Peter Crouch? Guess it depends on how we are intending setting up to play this year. But Defoe is a proven goal scorer in the PL. Is disgruntled with life at the spuds and wouldn't have to relocate. Crouch is actually a useful big man as well, plus he is a Chelsea fan.

I believe talk shite are reporting that PSG are his preferred destination. Apparently he has been to Manchester and didn't like what he saw, describing the place as "boring" that's Brazilliam for "dump"!! Please make this true...

Earls court is perfect. Think the underground line might explain why planning permission has not been granted though. Would be very tricky to safely construct on top of it, would probably find a lot of opposition from LU. Make it do Roman, build a lasting legacy, give us a new home!!!

So your at work... Some clown leaves a bar of soap on the floor in the bathroom. Bam your on your back having slipped on the damn thing. Only problem is you can't move, seems your back has undergone some major trauma. Do you: A - resign, hell it was your fault and you don't deserve any financial support. B - sue them for every penny they got. C - take advantage of the generous health care package, whilst receiving full pay until your back to full health? Your logic seems to suggest that you hand in your resignation. Good luck with that... I'm going with C.

Your trolling right?

WTF? Essien was a beast for us, it's awful to see the guy struggling due to injuries sustained whilst putting it on the line for our club. He deserves respect.... Malouda..... Emmm, not a parasite but should certainly be sold. Let's be honest Winston Bogarde they are not

Cole, Terry, Lampard, Essien, Cech, Torres to name but a few... Are you suggesting we need experience? I actually like that we have pursued players under the age of 23-24 recently. Means they should grow as a team, giving us a great spine for years to come.

I'd probably take Modric over Fabregas, but I'm glad we never stumped up £40 million for him. Both world class but I just think we needed someone creating from deep, believe Modric is better at that. On a side note I respect Levy, guy doesn't want to sell his best players (not easy to replace em) and drives up the price to maximize returns when he does.... stills dozy spud though.

Risky but could be worth a gamble. Nice call...

Thanks I could t have done it without the help of folks like you...

Appreciate the help...

Reps? What are you twelve? I asked the question because you appear to know an awful lot about everything.

I have.... No disrespect but just how many football matches do you watch? Because you appear to be an expert on all the major european leagues oh and Brazil.

You mention a winger but talk of signing Cavani and Falco. Which would cost a chunk of change and leave us in the same position as last year; no way Torres would want to stay to play second fiddle. So in effect we would need two strikers. Great, only problem is this is real life not FM. Sign a winger, sign Navas but don't sign a winger then say he can play as a CF. Nonody knows I hulk could step up as a genuine CF and yet another attacking midfielder is just over kill. Well that's my logic anyways.

Arse!!! I can't think of any viable locations. Anywhere else in Hammersmith?

Guys you've suggested would cost us 70-80 million over five years (with wages), would also mean Torres would have to leave (he won't stay to be scond choice) so we would still be short up front. This guy would cost half that, is younger and would probably (can't say for sure) be happier to play second fiddle to Torres. Don't see the logic in buying those you've mentioned.

If the price is right I'd be happy with him. Cavani would be too expensive and would leave us with a similitude problem to last year. Get the feeling he would be willing to wait for games. Hate this hulk can play as a striker crap, guy plays out wide, he is not a CF.

Funny, he started out as a RW, still don't let facts ruin a valid argument.

I agree, we need a player who is willing to step in when needed. Buying Cavani of Falco simply means we would have to sell Torres, as he won't want to stay. Which is going to leave us short up front still. Advantage to the guys you have mentioned is age, think there 22-23 right? Cost (less) and less of an expectation to start every game.

The bids for Willian means this is dead, not sure we are spending £40 on this guy whilst also buying Moses and an additional RB. It's a shame, but I'm more than happy with what the board have done this summer.
