Chelsea? 892 Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 I love the signings Madrid are making, it'll be harder for them to be interested in Eden Hazard now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayC 171 Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 EPL Club transfer so far...Arsenal - € 0Aston Villa - € 12.3mCardiff City - € 10.5mChelsea - € 33.3mCrystal Palace - € 8.3mEverton - € 11mFulham - € 7mHull City - € 8.6mLiverpool - € 26.8mManchester City - € 111mManchester United - € 1.8mNorwich City - € 28.5mSouthampton - € 24.5mStoke City - € 3.6mSunderland - € 21.7mSwansea City - € 23.2mTottenham - € 27mWest Ham - € 18mjust like Mou said,,city is under pressure if they failed to win PL... Their problem will be team chemistry. Negredo and Jovetic are impressive players, but will surely take some time to settle in. I'm not so sure how good Fernandinho is, but again it's quite rare a player will join a new club in a new league and do anything really amazing. If Silva has been found out as it looked last year, they could be in trouble with all this happening too. Mourinho is just trying to heap even more pressure on them.

They played too much as individuals again; adding more new faces from different leagues won't end well in my opinion, but let's see.Silva found out? Silva is a class player who just didn't have a season like his year previous. He didn't get 'found out'!Again it was a common opinion I heard a lot last season. I'm not so quick to judge however. I was merely suggesting it. I agree he's a class player, but I'm still wondering if he will EVER find that great form again. Jesus Navas' signing suggests somebody isn't happy with the wide players. He wouldn't occupy Silva's position but he is a whole different tactic for getting balls into the strikers. Maybe somebody feels Silva's approach has been somewhat nullified?

Mourinho is just trying to heap even more pressure on them.it seems like only you, @Reddish-Blue and me are the only ones to think they could possibly struggle because of chemistry. I've said it in numerous threads now. A zone of their team is completely new and the manager is also new. I'm not questioning their squad or saying they won't be on fire in 2014.I think they may struggle for a while especially against teams playing too deep. A few points lost this year and it gives other teams the edge. Of course they could shrug if off, I just don't think football is such an exact science and you just change half the team (mostly in the same zone), have a new manager and plim, everything works out and you're the done.

They didn't achieve it last year and they've added new players. How can they? It's surely not possible. They are going to heavily rely on individual brilliance again. As you say the manager is even new too... It all points to what we are thinking. Football can be strange though... Barbara 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Kills 164 Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Silva found out? Silva is a class player who just didn't have a season like his year previous. He didn't get 'found out'!You seem to be forgetting that as soon as '12 started, his form dipped dramatically. After playing phenomenally the first half of 11-12, he's now been "out of form" for a year and a half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edenhazard17 281 Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 I don't know why but I have this feeling that Real Madrid are going to get Hazard and Reus in the next 2 years.Damn, I rated Reus very high. He is beast. Imagine Hazard, Mata, de Bruyne and Reus on the same team, we doesn't need striker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,187 Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 90 odd million for Gareth Bale? Jesus Christ, Spurs would be seriously deluded if they do not sell him for that. Whilst he is their star asset that amount of cash is bordering on nonsensical IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst he is their star asset that amount of cash is bordering on nonsensical IMO.The world really has gone mad if Bale goes for that insane price. Worth not even half of what's being touted.Another common rumor I'm seeing is Di Maria, Coentrao, AND £50m+They'd be stupid to turn that down too. They'd be adding two great players and have enough cash to go out and buy 2-3 more class players. They may pull something similar to Arsenal last season where they become a better overall team once they aren't relying solely on one player.

Ryan Fong 2,776 Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 90m for Bale just lmfo! He will be officially the most overrated football player in the history if it's true...Absolutely bonkers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary gordon 1,777 Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Hope they don't sell him to Real tbh. Imagine the players spurs could buy with 100,000,000?? At the moment they are a one man team. With 100Mill, they could be very dangerous. Let's just hope for a dip in form or injury and the yids can fuck off back to the bottom of the table..
