Non-Chelsea Transfer Pub

[lucio 5,418]

General argument was united won the transfer market this summer. WRONG

MUNICH:

1. Vidal

2. Costa

3. Kimmich

4. Ulreich

Inter Milan

1. Kongdobia

2. Miranda

3. Montoya

4. Murillo

Atl. Madrid

1. Vietto

2. Jackson

3. Luis

4. Savic

5. Carrasco

*Diego Torres returns from porto loan

I do believe inter and at can win their leagues.

Utd and lpool , definitely making the most progress in England though.

You guys must have seen 0 man u preseason games....

Man U have not looked good in any preseason game. They won all 3, but their general play doesn't reflect the scoreline.

Van Gaal says he wants to play 4-3-3, yet every game he has played 4-2-3-1. Depay has played a n10 every game, young on the left and mata on the right with a carrick-morgan pivot. Watch the barcelona game, their midfield was easily dominated by sergio roberto, busquets, and iniesta. Bastian is already out due to injury and in both games, he has looked generally slow. lost the ball quite a bit as well....

Did Chelsea look good in preseason last year? Or even this year? Like we all know it's never a yardstick and yes united is the winner so far of the transfer window not the title. There is a difference.

In the epl?

There are other leagues outside of ENGLAND!

Munich, Inter and atletico had better summers.

Also, Chelsea played well the first game. Against PSG, I admit, we were shit. Kind of like how United beat barcelona even though barcelona was signficantly better than united.

[Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067]

Really losing hope that we'll sign a Top Box-2-Box CM.

This mentality of winning the league with virtually the same squad has a great chance to blow up in out face. Luckily there's a January Window.

My only worry is, if are right in the thick of the title race, does this confirm JM's notion of winning the League w/o reinforcements or make us buy the CM we should've in the summer.

Yup in the EPL.

I think there will be further arrivals.

Me 2. I think we will sign one or two defenders. But what we need most is a solid all-round midfielder. Ideally he should be big, fast, defensively astute and score goals. Unfortunately Mou does not agree. Also it is not like those players don't grow on trees. Actually I can think of none who ticks all boxes. Vidal and Witsel would have been close but mou obviously rates neither.

No you are right he rates Obi Mikel!

Maybe Wengers stuborness rubbed off on him when he grabbed him?

Ewwww Mous got Wengeria

I think a lot of us were hoping for a real statement of intent this transfer window. "Champions League, we're coming for you!" sort of signings. There's still this week for things to happen, but nothing huge seems to be on the horizon. Also imo, if you're standing still, you're losing ground. We need to do better than Falcao and Begovic to be true odds on favourites to retain the league.

If not this window then when? Prices are always higher in January. Top class players won't be CL eligible for us as they'll already have played for their clubs. Clubs won't want to sell as they'll want their top class players for their own CL and title run ins. It's not every January we get a Matic...or Torres (couldn't resist).

We talk about a huge signing, a statment signing, i would like that too but i think the only position Mourinho would want such signing is for CAM or RW.

I think its pretty clear he dont want a top CM who would push Cesc to be a #10 or make us play 4-3-3, like Vidal could've done, that would change our system and its not what he wants. Pogba (which Jose would've want) is a bit different because he's still a potential, he could grow to be an amazing attacker, Vidal is not an attacker.

So for this RW/CAM roles the market is limited, to this point there are no world class players who moved clubs in those positions, Di Maria will be the first one. You have Depay, Turan, D.Costa, Firmino, Sterling... those are the best AMs who made a move.

I would start getting upset if Reus or Isco will move somewhere this summer and we missed those chances.

I have a strong feeling Reus won't be at Dortmund come September. There's absolutely no reason why we shouldn't go after him.

i know this like random thoughts, but what do you think about jamez rodriguez ?

because if making isco or sterling as our target is not will be solved our problem

because even they excellent player but both isnt answer to improve our attacking

what they can offer just about flair, flick, dribble, close control

some people say they have problem about creating chances, lack of vision to make clear cut chances,

lack of final product, cannot give more threat on goal, inconcisten even poor finishing, cannot offer long range shoot

the chances to get him extremely slim, but to think his transfer actually have same scenario with isco possible departure

if RM buy new shiny toy like pogba/reus ----> madrid prorbably have to sell one of their star like modric/isco

----> but if isco maybe will pick ahead than jamez under benitez and use him properly in his best position not as cam/midfielder

----> then this will unlock the imposibility about james departure

james will solve our lacking in final third and attacking aspect perfectly,

since he is really got excellent technique, can hold ball under pressure not only hazard, have an eye to make killer pass, excelent long range shot, very good finishing aswell

not sure about his defensive job tough

like impossible signing, but a man can dream

James will be the new face of Madrid....

He's young, speaks spanish, goodlooking and a starter. From the marketing side, no way Perez lets someone like James leave. guys like di maria and ozil were easy to let go for perez. James is a whole different beast in terms of appeal.

As me old mate Mick says

"You can't always get what you want, You can't always get what you want.

But if you try sometimes you find, you get what you need!"

I just hope Mou realises we do need help in our midfield and he bloomin well does summet about it. With the 2 lads we have been 'linked' with being great to give us that help we need and neither would break the bank if thats what our problem is then I don't understand what we are waiting for.

[Special Juan 27,552]

SKY all over LvG and United this morning.....clips of LvG being interviewed about X and Y player and still saying his squad isn't right and he wants more.

Smacks of the kid with too much pocket money. Like Brenda at Liverpool, this is one massive season coming up.
