Really sorry then! Trully!

Forgive me?

No, you have to work for it. Do the Samba for 16 hours straight.

Likely outs: Sad to see that most probably Frank Lampard will be going. I really wish we don't let go of him, but it just doesnt seem to be with him and Abramovich. After that Malouda is being released too. Turnbull, Hilario are the other ones. The most probable person that we are going to sell is non-other than...Marko Marin. I highly doubt we'll keep him around. Either let him go or loan him. And then we have Fernando "fu**in" Torres who quite frankly is a mistery. Everyone wants him to leave, and he will leave most probably, but where and when is the question. In my eyes we will use him as a bargaining chip for Falcao.

Likely ins: Gourlay already said he expects 2 - 3 more class players. With the possible departure of Lampard, Malouda and probably Marin, Kevin De Bruyne will be back. But whilist we are happy with that, there are a lot of questions on where he would play. Due to that, I see him as a great prospect upfront, but a great prospect as a CM too. So yeah we will have to wait and see. Whatever happens though, we are most probably going to sign another Central Midfielder. Kevin Strootman, Capoue or anybody with good defensive qualities is enough for me. A dirty - worker if I may call it. My personal choice would be Paulinho. Heard that he is a very good prospect in that light. Aaaany who, moving on to the other positions , and we have the Central Defender role. With Terry also nearing his last year of contract, aaaand maybe on the verge of being another removed legend, I think we are going to move in the market for a CB. I agree with could try Kalas, Omeruo or Bruma, but I doubt it would be next year. And with that being said the Central Defender role has a wide variety of choices. I personally could think of whole lot and that is why I will not share any thoughts here. Last, but definetly not least the Striker role. LEWANDOWSKI! Can't we just try and sign this man , rather than giving 60 million for Falcao. I would only accept the Colombian if he sings for 40 or less with Torres leaving in the other direction. Or any direction for that matter. I also like Walcott, but I don't think he'll leave Arsenal now that he has signed his new contract. My best pick would be Cavani though. I have my heart set out for this man. He is just an all rounder, and is exactly what we need. The United game saw that perfectly.

Well that's it from me.

Who is WHS out of interest?

"GOD"!

[Special Juan 28,108]

Two sides to the striker issue for me. In an ideal world Cavani would be my man to fulfill my dreams for a forward at this club, he's just a tremendous footballer. The other being we don't need to shell out the amounts touted for the bloke when we could really be looking at someone like Lewandowski who is in his final year of contract and would come for good money.

I would happily take Modric and Lewandowski in the summer along with someone like Luke Shaw as I really don't rate Ryan Bertrand at all, and I think Shaw will be a super player to follow a legend in Ashley Cole.

This club doesn't need too much, but what we need is to surround Hazard and Mata with a top quality striker and a ball playing CM who keeps playing constantly ticking over and who can dictate a game centrally.

Also, I was extremely impressed with Hernanes during the international break with Brazil. Anyone know if he'd be available and for how much? He was like a better Dembele.

Who is WHS out of interest?

WHS is the mostest, goodest and bestest user on TC. Divine mandates spews from his word hole whenever something important happens.

He is also an Cockney reject that looks exactly like Mario Gotze.

[The only place to be 11,313]

I've thrown in Modric's name as the playmaker we could get, but I'm wondering if that's the route we need to go down. Maybe we could go more physical players there like Mikel and Ramires.

Maybe Chalobah. He's strong and defensively-minded, but he's fantastic on the ball and can keep the game ticking over. A partnership with Mikel might take some of the pressure off of Mikel and allow them both to take turns in moving forward and linking the play up, in a throw back to the Petit/Vieira or Ince/Keane partnerships. Then you've also got Ramires, Romeu and maybe even Ake who could do similar things.

You've also got the option of moving De Bruyne or even Oscar back into that midfield two if teams are defending deeper against us.

Alderweireld is an interesting player.I watched him in the champion's league this season and he was good,He looks like he will leave ajax this season as well.Is he as good as vertonghen?

Not that good in offence (his crosses and shots, he has a very heavy one, are good tho), distribution also rather good (else you cant play for ajax) but vertonghen would be great as LB/CDM even.

Potentially better in defence.

his crosses and shots, he has a very heavy one

also good in heading

[Leif 6,006]

I believe the guys going out will be:-

Lampard

Torres (not completely convinced he'll leave yet though)

Malouda

Ferreira

Marin (loan)

Demba Ba (yes, already.)

Benayoun

Hilario

Courtois (loan)

McEachran (loan)

Kakuta

Piazon (loan)

van Aanholt

Bruma

Chalobah (loan)

Likely ins for me are:-

Clyne or Shaw. We have to have more English talent (yes, it's a need, not a want). There's no other English talent we'd be interested in I believe unless we make a slight shock move for Richards who we've been interested in before.

Gomez or Higuain (unfortunately for the former. I think he'd flop here)

Benat (I believe the reported interest was indeed true. I also feel that with Alonso not renewing his Madrid contract, they'll be keeping Modric around) at a long shot, but in all honesty I don't see the board buying a central playmaker at all at times because they've neglected and continue to neglect that area.

I don't see any central defenders being purchased unless we move for Richards and use him in the centre.

All in all, I think we'll have a Summer which, although will see the return of Essien, will leave us even more bare than we currently are.

[Rmpr 8,977]

My mistake!

Dont care about attack just wanted to know that whether toby can be as good if not better defensively then vertonghen.

Alderweireld allready been linked to Man U..
