Others are not great enough. Might better give some chance for our youths. Good call, would be an awesome opportunity for one or two of the youths Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,871 Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Well it's all done and dusted, and whilst the season ends I hope the signings happen soon. We need to act quickly and get the deals done ASAP, no waiting and arseing around......GET THE SIGNINGS IN! The Skipper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

London connection shouldn't matter, if that's behind it. A competitor is a competitor. Well it does. London rivalry plays big part. Then you have United Pool rivalry because of history. Meaning we cant trade with either Arsenal or Spurs. Meanwhile we are Manchesters main competition so they wont sell either. Pool just hates us tho. We have been most sucessfull english team these past few years, so its obvious they dont want to trade with us. We just play in wrong city because Arsenal and Spurs are perfect selling teams who will sell to anyone but us because city rivalry. For us, its pretty much only foreign market because rest of PL league is almost useless for us. They used to have some quality homegrown talents, but nowdays they just buy and buy, fill their squads with overpaid foreign players because they can. There are few 1st 11 players interesting for us like Lukaku, Dijk, Bertrand and when it comes to them, we can arguably get better from other leagues for maybe even less money.

There's definitely players to be had overseas, but we'll get outpriced for quite a few thanks to "TV money". Shame that's never up for discussion when Barca or Madrid come calling. bigbluewillie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067 Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 I just pray we don't sign both Bakayoko. Having a Bakayoko - Kante double pivot would be the most anti-football pivot of any of the top sides. They are literally carbon copies of each other on the pitch, as both want to be roaming Box-2-Box destroyers, with very limited incisive passing. The only unique skillset Bakayoko brings to the table is better dribbling and height. If anyone watched that France-Spain friendly back in March, the Bakayoko-Kante pairing was not a sight to behold. Man had them running in circles for the entire match. And Bakayoko was extremely uninspiring from the Round of 16 onwards. Had no impact whatsoever, and was a constant blackhole for anything positive happening for Monaco. CFC should Stay away.
