Completely agree with first bit, Maradona over Pele any day of the week. Messi getting awfully close though. Maybe when he beats Chelsea

A fair point. Misguided in the belief that a move to Russia will further his career and aid him in achieving his goal of being seen as a top player in the top band of world football. Better?

Let's just keep our fingers crossed that he's not as thick as Hulk and Witsel...

Happy. We didn't get screwed by anyone. Pleased we stayed firm on Hulk. He would have been nice but after Moses, essentially a luxury. Hazard is God. Oscar looks promising and Azpi and Moses will be good players too. Fingers crossed Marin stays healthy and I'm a happy boy.

^^^ seconded

No. Way.

You could take class A drugs and still not be as excited as watching hazard on the ball

Unnecessary and I no longer need a novelty name for my shirt because I can go to games with a fake beard, a staff and Moses on the back...

Anyone got any good highlights? In Canada so no Match of the Day for me...

I see not a single flaw with this plan, love it!!

Breathe man breathe

Hazard is quality

Don't we all

We have two strikers. We need another. He scores goals. He's not a huge name so won't unsettle nando. He'll be cheaper than Cavani. Fine by me. I can't see us going into this season with only two strikers in the squad...

Sorry my phone sucks... Didn't mean to quote anything I was just reading. Carry on chaps...

Please Roman please. It would be heart-stoppingly amazing

It's worth noting that we are victims of the way we have conducted our transfer business in the past. It's all very well saying "I hate (insert Whelan/Da Costa/Levy) because they are overcharging hugely for their players" but they all know that we are prepared to pay over what a player is worth in order to get him. We're a big club and because of that, we're going to have to be prepared to pay more than others. With Hulk, porto know they could sell him for 30-odd million for teams who are prepared to pay what he's worth, OR they can hold out and wait for Mr Abramovich to open his cheque book. I know which Porto would rather. It's ridiculous the number of comments on this thread saying "oh we should only be paying this much for Hulk" because that won't ever happen. Porto don't need to sell. Either hes coming for a huge fee or he's not coming at all.

TORRES!!!

Looks much better so far!! Iff Mikel picks it up a bit then I'm a happy boy for the moment

If there is one thing that we do not need, it is more depth at the "talented playmaker/winger" position...

I don't think he said that anywhere, where'd you find this?

Staying in the premiership means nothing if he doesn't play... He'll play at boro and get some good game time, something he hasn't had really up until now. Good move I think

Think he meant it would be stupid for Cavani and Napoli. And I agree...
