Waterfall 893 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Alex Song is a joke of a DM. No positional awareness at all. I'd rather play Mikel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucio 5,418 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Why is everyone raving on about A.Song? he isn't that much better than Mikel... he wins on average twice as many tackles as mikel per game , is more mobile and is vision is 40000 times better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leif 6,006 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Is he even a playmaker? From what I see, although he's a good passer, he's much more like a robust, slower, more decisive Ramires. He's constantly running backwards and forward in pretty much a straight line, winning the ball and also playing neat passes; but I've never seen him as a player who dictates play.

Hutcho 8,443 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 For 20 mil, not a bad choice. Don't believe it tbh. That report will probably cause a ripple effect and we will see the same report reprinted throughout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jase 43,479 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Portugal's leading paper O' jogo claims Chelsea are favourites to land Fc Porto's midfield general Joao Moutinho for £20m. #CFCO'Jogo? The link below says A' Bola.http://www.sportsvibe.co.uk/news/football/chelsea-and-tottenham-alerted-as-porto-ready-to-let-moutinho-leave-24915/Porto midfielder Joao Moutinho has been a transfer target of Chelsea and Tottenham during previous summers and it is now reported that he will be allowed to leave the club.On many occasions have clubs tried to claw Porto’s prize asset away from their grasp and they will be able to this summer.According to Portuguese newspaper A Bola, Moutinho has held talks with Porto about his desire to leave the club at the end of the season.Porto owner Pinta da Costa has rejected numerous bids for Moutinho over the past few years, but recently admitted he may be powerless to let his star player leave at the end of the season."It is hard to resist," said Da Costa. "We know that there are clubs with millionaires who have no limitations [in terms of] money, [such] as Chelsea and PSG."Moutinho is thought to be valued by his club at £20m.

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 20m would be a steal for Moutinho. His buy out clause is 40m €Problem is, he is 26 and not getting any better (even though quite good already) and no worldclass. Also he is only 1,71. Constantly downgrading the average height of our squad only results in weakening our defence of crosses, freekicks, corners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 20m is definitely reasonable compared to those crazy prices porto kept giving us.Porto must despise us for prizing away every major talent they've produced in the last nine years! Because it's us, we can assume another £10m will be stuck on the asking price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
