with the quality we have with our CAMs I don't know if we need more than Cavani and Lukaku. trust me Mourinho will change a lot the way at least Oscar and Hazard play. I don't think we'll play with two strikers in a match except in a particular case we're losing and need to be risky. The formation will probably continue to be 4-2-3-1 and Mou will have one of those "3" to play like Cris played in RM... I still look to RM formation as a 4-2-2-2 despite everything else. Cris had no defense responsibilities and he was never a midfield if he rarely passed the ball and assisted someone. He was a striker through and through, I don't care about what Mourinho and whoever else calls that formation. And then he can rotate Cavani and Lukaku the same way he rotated Higuain and Benzema. I'm still hoping he brings Higuain for us instead of letting him go to Juve. I'm sure Pipita still wants to work with Mourinho.

that's a good deal actually. we could offload Torres, Mikel, Ba and a few others to make some money - as they probably don't value much but if could cover the other two guys. and yeah, I think Torres is really worth little.

Any insights?

let's not talk about that... the only worse deal in football history is RM's bid for Kaká. But maybe you guys are right and he has like 100M to spend. I only worry about spending too much in one player when we also need reinforcements in other positions like CB and DM.

You're completely right... I just hope he doesn't feel like he should sack him. I would really love if Mou was to us what SAF had been to ManU and what Arsene is for Arsenal. I like long term deals between clubs and managers as long as the managers are quality. Mourinho is one of the very best.

it feels overpriced though... and we need more guys than just a striker.

I just feel like Mourinho isn't the only one who learned since the last time they had a deal. I know how he treated RDM could show us Roman has the same immediacy issues he had 6 years ago, but I guess he learned the difference between a guy like Mou and the rest. Also he has a lot of young guys there and he knows there's no one better than Mourinho to make them profitable.

oh love, the X chromosome I assumed you had wasn't related to that at all. not in the least. I wouldn't underestimate what I can barely dodge

he's trying for an auction... I hope Roman is smart enough not to fall for it and if we sign him, we do it for a reasonable price. 63M isn't it.

come on, there's so much in common you can have in common with Darwin and not with Salomon But it does suit you...

no matter how experienced a man can be - and trust he does look like one - a woman's perspective will always be more useful when it comes to knowing what to do about a woman or at least try to figure out what she thinks she wants. it comes with the X chromosome, I'm positive our dear Tom here doesn't have... at least not one he was born with.

wouldn't have thought - or expected - any differently. Maybe you should change the philosopher in your avatar. I guess we just found out a more suitable one

I'm the bar's phisio, it seems, but if you need a woman's perspective, I'm here too

the guy had 1000 women at his wish. you suppose he would have a thing or two to say about the matter

oh... poor thing. Is it the lady related to the 9 days? If so, jump with both feet in, mate, if you can, surely.

had no idea it was called that. That is poetic... Salomon was quite the philosopher if you ask me, the first one way before Plato and Socrates.

you won me there, Tom - just like all the other times I guess. I don't know what assma asmatoon is. And you're no pharisee. We get what we see.

so it's all good man

The thing is I didn't know this was myself until I opened this thread, trust me I'm shocked. But as our dearest Tom implied, no Pharisee behavior from me. If that's the version of me that actually posts in forums like this one, so be it. It's exhausting trying to be someone you aren't *shrug* Nice to meet you, Nour. aren't you all?

yeah, I proud myself so much for not being a hypocrite. So I won't back down... much This is your fault actually. I can't resist your posts. they're so damn good and the perfect bait that I keep biting.

well, obviously I wouldn't know... it seems Brazil is sort of popular on this side of internet. That's not that much common. now was it a good incident? I had never met any belgian in my life though I found a few of them here I'm pleased with.

Brazil should be much more appreciate than it is. We come up with the coolest things. So much for being quieter... I can't help myself. My face will continue to burn out of embarrassment but I'll go down in a blaze of shamelessly posts it seems.

It's never ending amusement

Yeah, but I think Luiz showed his value in those couple of seasons there... but it could be. Mourinho is a mind player. A great one at that.
