Sporting can go to FIFA because of that and they would have a grood chance of getting 25% of the whole 70mi if Porto doesnt watch out! But I dont even believe Monaco will buy any of those players, total joke of rumours flying around. Ask Málaga (who are a bigger club already in La Liga) how FFP turned out!

Dude, you have no idea how much Brazilians screamed when Germany kept scoring. We were super sad that Brazil had lost for Holland and then Argentina got trashed so badly (should have been more than 4-0)....

Mourinho, can you please bring the good players from your agente and not the shit ones?

True, but if you do beat us, please (in the name of all Gods) beat Argentina as well!

Yeah, I still thank him whenever I rewatch the 2002 WC Final!

LOL, I remember seeing his crazy dance celebrations when I watched the 1990 WC DVD!

Who the fuck is that?

1. There is a certain limit to where a manager can rotate. Steve Clarke doesn't have 4 strikers to give all of them playing time for one spot. Besides, West Bromwich players have less than half the ego Chelsea players have. It is impossible to keep 4 players (with 4 big egos) happy by rotating all of them once each game. Absolutely irrational that WB example! 2. Not what we are debating, one discussion at a time. Agree to disagree! 3. Conservative in which way? You are naive and optimistic (that nothing bad will happen) and I am realistic or even pessimistic (if you will), but conservative and naive are not antonyms. 4. Chelsea lost to QPR and Soton because the replacements were not good enough, not because we didnt have enough replacements. Big confusion you are doing there! EDIT: Enough with the discussion, you will continue to think 4 strikers wont do any harm and I will continue to think too much players for one position is bad in various ways. END OF STORY!

Yeah, that is why I quoted you, because I know we have the same age! From what I understood from Jake's post, was that we had to post the image and explanation of our first childhood football hero (the one you thought was the best of the world). That happened to me in the Palmeiras legendary 90s team, with Rivaldo/Evair/Roberto Carlos/Marcos/etc! I watched football since I was born (literally, I celebrated the 94 WC vomiting on my father's jersey!), so my first experiences came with 5-7yo. Of course I loved seeing Zidane, Ronaldinho, Lampard, Kaka, Henry, etc. But they all came after my first intake of football legends.

This is a theory in itself, might have to look the definition of a theory! If Lukaku gets injured, we play Ba (vice-versa). In a very extreme case where both would be out, we play Torres. When would we use the 4th option? NEVER! Evolved to what? A mediocre team? Because that is what they are after selling both CR7 and Tevez! And they accepted it, didn't they? You are so naive! Ba doesn't deserve to be 3rd option nor does Lukaku. I want what is best for everyone, not just for your FIFA Career Mode...

I am more rational than you, I would go 'Ah! Shit - it's so large!', then I would go 'Fuck, look at how much money are literally thrown in the garbage while there are billions starving!' :tophat:

Those two are way too 'recent' to be my childhood heroes, but I definitely enjoyed (still do) every freaking moment of their careers! This is no secret, but one of the very big reasons I love EPL and Chelsea is because of Lampard...

This is very normal for every sports club. If we had the idea of how many commemorative shirts, hats, parties, etc, get waisted because of teams failures, we would all go crazy!!!

LOL, mine is a theory and yours is what? :lol2: A simple injury problem will be absorved by the another striker, not by the 3 who will be on the sideline! SAF is a big as they get and how many clashes he had with great players? Beckham, Tevez, etc, etc... When the competition is too much, maybe? Pretty obvious! First, GKs are a whole other issue, stupid to bring that up. Second, Benayoun and Marin are shit players with no history, they know it, so they dont complain. Third, Meireles and Essien were so happy that both left the club, lol. Ba is a great striker, I don't know what you are talking about. He is better than Arsenal's main strikers, Giroud and Podolski. Then, Torres is a useless player but not with an useless wage. It is anything but easy to get rid of him! Things are not simple dude, getting into a season with 4 strikers is suicide. It can ruin the dressing room and selling players in January isn't the easiest thing to do. You stall some player's development and take other's momentum, resulting in a downfall of all the 3 bench players!

Dude, sorry, but just be quite! This is nonsense... You are suggesting 4 strikers for a ONE striker system! City plays with 2 strikers and Balotelli already left because he was causing too much problems with Mancini due to not playing him enough. Now, they are already with 3 strikers and there is still complaints coming from Dzeko. And that is because I didnt touch Tevez situation. ManCity will most probably sell one of Dzeko or Tevez and buy another striker. Meaning they will have 3 target men for a duo stiker formarion! Utd also plays with 2 strikers and the last time I checked, Rooney and Chichiaito were very unhappy (for different reasons, but still). Many sources saying they want to sell both and buy Lewandowski. So they will have RVP, Lewa and Wellbeck for a duo striker formation. Both teams had problems with the dressing room because of that and they play with 2 strikers. However, you want 4 players for one position, like it wont generate problems!!! This is not FM where all you will get is a red unhappy tag next to the player's name and all you have to do is put him on the transfer list. The real life is vastly more complicated. Sometimes, a shit mood between the players is worse than having a bad quality squad but with desire and integration... Madrid fits the two examples perfectly. They play with one striker and only have 2 players for the position and I hear no one moaning they need another one. Also, they have a super shit dressing room and look for how many pub teams they have lost or draw. If we indeed start the season with X + Lukaku + Ba + Torres, shit will happen. First of all, we would have a top10 wage in the reserves, which is bad enough in itself. Then, either Lukaku or Ba would be absolutely unhappy. So, what do you do? You sell an rather stablished player in EPL that just arrived or do you sell a promissing young star? Worse, where do you find a good replacement who will agree to play 8-10 games a season? VERY COMPLICATED!!!

That is an excuse for not having too much depth! Ask City how their depth squad turned out...

So, Monaco are buying Falcao + Moutinho + James Rodriguez + Kaka, but they are refusing to pay 200mi in taxes? :lol2:

He would accept going to Chelsea, for sure! But...Do we need Neymar when we have Hazard? I dont think so! The same goes for Real, will he have space in the same position CR7 plays? Not really!

Exactly why Santos doesn't want to settle for such a 'low' (in their minds) price. They want to see if any higher bids will come to the table! ESPN BR reported that Manchester City would be studying to make a bid of around 30mi (which is what Santos wants) to lure Neymar. However, Neymar isn't keen on going to England, let alone for City...

Santos just turned down a 25mi offer from Barcelona (after rejecting their initial 18mi offer a few days ago) in a meeting they had today. Total wankers, do they think they are going to get more for a player in his last year of contract? Neymar's investment group representative seemed very angry with the rejected bid when he was interviewed after leaving Neymar's (father) house...

Maybe a DM or CB depending how you view things, but yeah, pretty much it! In any scenario, Isco is not needed...

You just made this cover very disturbing, definitely not buying it now!

To make you feel pleased!

When was I not sensible? Cavani/Falcao + Lukaku + Ba or Cavani/Falcao + Ba + Lukaku loaned is one thing, but spending 20-22mi for another striker (remember we still have Torres) is plain stupid (IMO). We still have many holes in our squad to spend money on someone who wont improve much. Lukaku is as capable to play a second role as Martinez (for instance)!
