Sheva. 5,373 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Honestly, for me it's disappointing being linked with the likes of Falcao and Douglas Costa while City are linked with De Bruyne and Pogba. If the disparity in transfer quality between us and them ends up being something along those lines I think we're really short-changing ourselves for the season ahead. Those types of signings for City can have the same impact Costa and Fabregas had for us.We also can't 'workhorse' our way through the CL later stages, we know how that has turned out the past two years under Mourinho. We need one big signing at least if we are to solidify our position at the top and push forward in the CL.Keyword there is "linked". I don't see the mega clubs just watching as City grab Pogba. I think they will end up with Sterling when it's all said and done.Anyway I agree Chelsea need a big signing, but it's already clear now Mourinho likes this current XI and is only looking for depth.

Sheva. 5,373 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Cabaye wants to leave PSG and come back to England.Decent option if we can get him cheap to play when we play 3 in midfield with Matic and Fabregas, and step in to replace the creation of Fab when he's unavailable?Maybe too expensive transfer and wages wise though....He's a good player, made the wrong decision to join PSG when it was clear as day they have 3 mids better than him.I see him linked with Palace but I think his level is definitely higher than that.

If the disparity in transfer quality between us and them ends up being something along those lines I think we're really short-changing ourselves for the season ahead. Those types of signings for City can have the same impact Costa and Fabregas had.First of all we're not linked with D.Costa, it's just another interview from him that got everyone to talk about him again for no good reason, second of all it's great that City are after Pogba, they still have about zero chance to get him since he obviously don't want to go there.About a big signing, the only real "big" signing we could make that would make everyone excited is for RW, but if Mourinho belives in Cuadrado so that's that, we have enough to go with in numbers. The realistic options for RW I see are Fekir, Sterling and Griezmann, who else could come and be considered a big signing? I don't know.I don't see the need in big signings, it's just have to be players who'll improve us as a team, and the first thing is a CM for me. Until now we seem very quiet about it and this is what worries me. I see the names of Kondogbia, Imbula, Schneiderlin, Allan, linked with moves to some clubs and nothing from our end. I hope the club have something we don't know about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nadavTKL 1,787 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Jackson Martinez is going to AC Milan, done deal according to Porto president and Sky Italia.Great signing for them, they're also looking to bring Kondogbia and Zlatan, pushed by the money of the new owner maybe we'll see a good Milan side next season?I think its also great that Arsenal didnt go for him, think he would've scored lots for them, but they'll probably keep going with Giroud.

I hope the club have something we don't know about.I think you are spot on with your first point. Even Varane or Falcao would not really make the fans climb the fences. We got enough numbers in most offensive positions and also enough talent, some of them just have to hit form.Yes, Arsenal and the Manchester teams will spend a lot, but it is not that they will pull some world class players out of the hat which we can't sign. There simply aren't many world class players available atm.Yes to fend off the domestic rivals it should suffice to make sure we improve here and there in quality and depth and have another one of our attacking mids finally flourish.On the other hand to win the CL next season we would need some major reinforcements, that would help us more mid to short time than in the long run. Those would include people like Schweinsteiger and Bale.When we last won the league 2010 and we only signed benayoun and ramires, while losing ballack, deco, belletti and more, we knew we were fucked when lamps and drogs caught injuries. This time round our squad in younger and on the ascend however, an injury to two out of matic, fabregas, hazard and costa would likely wreck our title challenge. This is why I think, Mou should step out of his shadow and buy some quality players for depth AND to improve us as a team (like more tactic flexibility esp in big games) . dUMB, Sosuke Aizen, Essien19 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oscar 441 Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Probably unlikely, but Jose should of signed Medel last season before he went to Inter... Perfect jose player outside of the height issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
