BLionheart 516 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 O.K. we missed on a few stars , well on many stars to be frank ..... we missed on Sahin , Aguero , Pastore , Sanchez , and Most likely Neymar and Modric (hope i didn't forget anyone)Some must be really angry and disappointed with our transfer activity so far but i still think that if AVB wasn't lying , If he was really assessing the current squad before going into the market then finding the right talent won't be a problem .We obviously need a creative midfielder and at least 1 winger , i think that world-wide across the 7 continents there must be some young quality midfielders and wingers and as a top team with supposedly top scouts we should easily find some when needed .In fact i have some leads myself , for the creative midfielder there are Marko Marin - Mario Gotze - Marvin Martin as the top 3 prospects if we can't get Modric.and for the winger there are Hazard - Mata - Hulk - Jesus Navas , and i am sure any decent scout in south america will be able to recommend some great prospects in the wingers department .So my point is this misconception of us not going into the market because of lack of right talent is not true , IF AVB wants to improve on some areas he will be able to , there is only 15 days remaining and we need to act fast but i can't see how will AVB a man known for liking his wingers to be proper wingers will start his 1st season with Chelsea with Malouda , Kalou , Anelka and Sturridge as his "proper" wingers.I guess in 2 or 3 days after AVB has his meeting with Gourlay we will be linked with every half decent player .I am sure most of the members in here can come up with at least 1 creative midfielder and 2 decent wingers that we can still sign .

Spike 12,049 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Creative Midfielders - Miralem Pjanic, Toni KroosWeren't we very close to signing Jesus Navas a few years back? I seem to remember his homesickness was the deal breaker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Styles 9,790 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 You are right in that there are always players available but unfortunately we don't have the scouts. We have the worst scouting department of any of the major European teams. We would never sign a player like Hernandez for 8m for example because we don't know they exist!Maybe that is changing with AVB who personally went after Oriol Romeu but I won't hold my breath.

bababoom 4,478 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 AVB did say that he wants to get young players, i'm happy about that. I'm also happy about him accessing the squad, and now he can make decisions in terms of whose in or out. I think now we just have to wait, i am sure we will get at least one more player before the season starts, and another player just before the transfer market closes.

Guest justin_3d Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 He can also wait till the last day of transfer.Cause playing with the squad against Stoke might reveal something.So he does not has to rush before the first PL game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLionheart 516 Posted August 1, 2011 Author Share Posted August 1, 2011 Gőtze.you don't think Gotze is good enough ?! This 18 years old lad will be a world-class player in the near future, he has the same potential as Wilshire and he has more experience than Mceacheran already .He has good speed at his feet , very creative and he has some outstanding technical skills,he is a natural central playmaker .He is not just one for the future as he has already proved he is top class.
