Non-Chelsea Transfer Pub

[Special Juan 28,123]

Some reports saying Cavani to Real Madrid is very realistic.

[Mufassir08 2,400]

Which means that one of higuain or benzema will be sold.Anybody interested?

[Special Juan 28,123]

Either, not fussy but I can see them holding onto Benzema over Higuain.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

I'd take Higuain for 10-15m. Lacks consistency, but one of the best finishers around. Never understood why Jose chooses Benzema who is even more inconsistent over him.

[Yeboii 1,844]

Lol nearly every player in Dortmund is young and really good, gonna be hard to hold them all in one place.

[Leif 6,006]

I keep saying we're going to get Higuain It's looking ever more likely as time passes.

Hopefully he adds a bit more to his all-round game if he joins us. If we're looking for 'just a goalscorer', he's probably on par with Falcao (c'mon, he averages a goal every 2 games for Madrid *while constantly starting from the bench*!) in my opinion, and obviously younger and probably cheaper.

He's one of these players who could and should have been an all-time great for a club. A team like Juventus, Inter, or maybe, just maybe us could be the perfect team for him.

However, adding him to the starting XI instantly adds a disadvantage in one area for us - set pieces. Especially defending. Drogba was like an extra defender at set-pieces. Demba Ba and Torres could be held in a similar regard concerning that - but Higuain is a ghost in these situations, meaning all of Hig, Mata, Hazard, Oscar and anyone else short that we may sign will be useless at those!

hello this is my first time posting as i am from another forum. I really think we should buy lars bender of bayer leverkusen. he is the next great german midfielder and would add such steel to our midfield

[Backstreet09 499]

Not really, I mean the amount of chances he and benzema screwed at Real, I don't think any top club would be interested in both.

Higuain can play the 2nd striker thingy , he really can make a difference there but not as a lone striker, he screws far too many chances.

Benzema is another interesting prospect, uhm but not really the one we need right now.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Just a few cheaper options that are available and would add depth to our team:

Payet, Lacazette, Lens, Ayew, Gonalons, Mavuba, Soldado, Banega, Feghouli, Strootman, L. Bender, Aubameyang

As I mentioned several Ligue 1 players is no surprise. Both Ligue and Epl share several similarities. Both are fast paced, physical leagues. Sure epl has more quality, but our players history tells us that we should buy from France more.

Anelka, Drogba, Essien, Malouda and Hazard, Azpi recently are all proof that Ligue 1 players suit us quite well.

I would put my bet on Lacazette who is fast direct player with great dribbling and passing. He doesnt score many goals etc, but he is very important for Lyon attacks. Im realy surprised that with lack of wingers in France (basicaly only Ribery, Valbuena and Menez are good), Lacazette isnt yet French international. He is still just 21 and has plenty of time.

Mario Gomez for under 15m would be a great deal for us.

I think he is more dynamic than Falcao. I often see him drift wide and put in crosses for Ronaldo, he isn't great at it, but he is willing to put in work.

He is such a natural goal scorer. He always nets even though Real Madrid has never been built around him, unlike Falcao.

[Amblève. 4,995]

A Gomez transfer would be so wrong. So, so wrong.

Wouldn't mind having Ba, Lukaku and Higuain as our three strikers next season...provided that we add to our midfield and defence.

why?

[Jase 43,479]

why?

Doesn't offer anything else apart from scoring goals. And we need a ST who can create for others and score goals himself, an all rounder basically.
