New Season

[Kojo 4,676]

Hmm, that's another question already. You want to convert Mata into a more restricted central midfielder to benefit Rami's game, while just a second ago you wanted to sell him. Tbh, our defensive game would take quite a damage because Mata can't defend. 4-2-3-1 has been working well for us, I don't see why we would need to start tinkering with it and totally fucking up Mata's game.

I don't want to benefit Ramires's game, it was nothing about me changing it because Ramires would be in the double pivot, it was my plan in the first place, because i would like to see Mata in a more central midfielder role.

I never said i wanted David Luiz CDM so shut it, and i have seen many users say he should get played there, infact i only wanted him to play in midfield for a while. Not adapt there, no one countered my arguement so shut it once again. And if you don't leave my thread i'll have to get the staff here immediately.

atleast,cut him some slack for being polite

So you essentially want Mata to play the Lampard role back in the 4-3-3 days. Fair enough, I guess I'll just have to disagree with you on that one, I don't think he'd be suitable there.

WHAT!, dude he said he would burn my business down if i talk about Ramires again.

hulk/hazard/-mata/belhanda/kdb-lavezzi/ayew/marin

torres/doumbia/cisse/danny

I wouldnt buying striker yet, maybe Doumbia or Cisse, who would cost around 20 mio and are very good.

RB is obvious, Azpi would be great here - young and spanish, good going forward, but also great in defense

DM is unnecessary, no matter how good Mikel is or Essien, we have one of best defences (except Bosingwa) and that proves how good Mikel is.

That means Mikel plays standardly next season and I dont want to see Mikel-Tiote/Mvila pair, but something more creative CM who can defend aswell; options are Moutinho, Witsel, Modric or Martinez. Modric is less good in defense, but great in attack/starting actions. Martinez looks like young Xabi Alonso, also plays as CB, but I think Torres could profit with such buy Alonso-Gerrard-Torres or Martinez-Mata-Torres ). Both Modric and Martinez would cost extremly lot, Moutinho or Cabaye are cheaper. Moutinho is great in Porto with starting actions, but knows how to defend too (like young Meireles).

Creative CAM would be nice too, someone like Belhanda or Modric. Dont think the new player would actualy start, since we use 4:2:3:1, only one cam and that is already Mata. That means if we buy modric, he would be CM, if we buy Belhanda, he would be sub for Mata or left winger.

Wingers are required, two minimum. We already bought Marin, possibly starter or sub, we need another class winger ala Hulk or Hazard. Other options are Lavezzi, Ayew, Schurle, Muniain,...

My wishes are Hulk/Hazard, Ayew, Belhanda/Modric, Azpilicueta, Martinez/Moutinho, Doumbia/Cisse

Close expensive circle:

Mikel-Modric

Mata

Hulk/Hazard-Torres-Marin

+Azpi

Most possible

Mikel-Moutinho

Mata

Hulk-Torres-Marin

And Azpi plus someone like Ayew, Belhanda price range

-------

lot of options, only few will actualy happen and possibly transfers not even mentioned here.

Someone said we need new Anelka, well Ayew is perfect new Anelka for 20mio

Anyone knows who is creative man at Atletic Bilbao? Is it Ander Herrera or Oscar de Marcos?

If someone of these two it would be nice to buy one, considering he wouldnt cost less than Muniain or Martinez.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Also as I remember we were never "superstar" buying club, we looked after players that know team play, are solid, strong and mediocore, but talented and very good at club they were playing. Players like Ballack, Malouda, Anelka, Essien, Mikel, Lamps, Drogba, J Cole,...They were not marked as superstars, costed usualy around 10-20mio and they proved great deals. The only players, like superstars and costed lot were strikers; Pizzaro, Sheva, Torres, Crespo and never realy paid off. Possibly we are team that dont want superstars, but team workers that play for club. Maybe we should stick to fact 'less is more' and try buy players like: Azpi, Belhanda, Ayew, Cabaye, de Marcos and Ross Barkley

Just saying, I would love see players like Hulk, Hazard,...but big money players never paid off here, strikers specialy, most recently Torres and Lukaku(who still has lot time to prove).

That's way too much money spent, you cannot think we will buy 3 players at least who have the price tags of 30 million each!.

But i love you anyway and what you say is always right!.

Not to buy all players, but few on that list.

Lol, you are funny

You guys think we should sell Sturridge? He is frustrating, and seemingly becoming like Kalouda. It might be worth it to keep him around for one more year and try him as a ST rather than a winger which means not playing on the wings whatsoever next season, and playing alone up front.

€25 Million. DONE! Or a trade could be on the cards. Some users like the idea of Dzeko, so why not a direct swap?

What if he leaves, plays as a ST for another team and than starts banging in goals? I think he should and will get another season. Hopefully as a ST.

[Justin_3d 1,140]

Don't think Sturridge should be sold or traded.

Still young.

If people made a case for Kalou and Mikel years ago cause they where younger, then surely this will be one of them.

Another season or two will be good to see what he can do.

What teams can afford him in England? Not many. He'll stay, I'm confident.

[manpe 10,861]

Sturridge is having a bad spell, ffs is it the first time you see a player having a bad spell? Don't give up now.. He's young as fuck and talented as shit. He just needs EXPERIENCE, decision making comes with it, cooler head comes with age. And he's English (home grown quota). Mancini publicly stated he regretted selling him, chances are we will too.
