Post Oscar: who to come?who to go?

Tell me who finished above us last season?,

Demba Ba was one of the best strikers in the premiership first half of last season, Cisse came in and he couldn't play with him as Cisse was the main striker. 7 million for Ba is a bargain, he has a dodgy knee but I'm sure he will be fine. And Tiote best DM in the league, he is a must for me.

Tottenham finished above us. Let's buy Scawty Parka and Arin Lenin.

Now you're just being stupid. You know i never meant that, Newcastle got where they are because they had really good players.

Cabaye-Tiote was better than Man Uniteds midfield and most certainly better than ours.

So you are talking about Arsenal? Fucking A, let's buy Song and Walcott.

I'd rather Cabaye over Tiote. There is no other midfielder (outside of CFC) in the Premiership that I covet more than Cabaye. I fell in love with that joker after his FK against ManUtd.

I think if you are looking for a useful squad player, then 7 mil for demba ba, is very good, all things considered, better than any other striking options we have atm except torres, and with Lukaku going on loan, will do a good job as second choice striker... Rather that, than 40+ mil for cavani i think...

So because of that free kick we should sign him?, believe me when Tiote left Newcastle were bullied on midfield, no way would we of walked over them like we did and neither would City.

So because I mention his Free Kick you naturally deduce that I want him signed because of that one action? Where did I say that I wanted to sign him in the first place? Sure I've said that in other threads but I did not say that, in this particular post. Don't put words in my mouth, please.

You did that to me earlier with Spurs, so I did it back.

No I didn't. I merely stated fact the fact that Tottenham finished above us. I did not once say that you wanted Scotty Parker and Aaron Lennon. I didn't say "So because Tottenham finished above us you want to sign Scotty Parker and Aaron Lennon?" Whereas I mention Cabaye's FK and you deduce that I want to sign him. Completely different incidents.

But with all the same meaning, we both didn't mean that.

the 7 million expires this month(?) what then?

i hope we try Lewandowski for around 15-20m. Bundesliga player of the year. very good attacker with all round attributes

[Funkyflashman 187]

My only real thought on our squad at the moment is to do with our width in the attacking third. The players who we have regularly seen play on the outside positions in the "3" have a tendency to be quite narrow. Hazard and Marin both like to cut inside and when Mata played out on the left on occasion last season he had a tendency to drift inside to pick up more of the ball. Ramires has been played on the right and I don't see quite so much desire to move inside like the others but it still seems to me that we lack a genuine WIDE player in the squad.

I'm not trying to strike up comparisons between us and Barcelona because that is pointless, but we all saw what happened against us in the Semi-Final when without a player to provide width, we could defend very narrow and negate the neat one-two football that the play inside the penalty area. Pep even used Cuenca purely to stretch our back 4 out. I worry that a front three of Hazard-Mata-Oscar or equivalent would encounter the same problem against lesser teams who are more content to just shut up shop and not play. I think for that reason the only real addition to our squad that I would be really keen on is a player who can beat defenders outside rather than cutting in and put crosses in the middle. Then for me I would be completely happy with the team this season.

dream scenario would be Moutinho, Maicon and Falcao all in but that would be to expensive so i would settle for Tiote, Azpilicueta and Falcao

Most stupid post you have ever made, and you will regret saying that, trust me.

And Newcastle wern't in the Champions League. But they where a much better team than us last season, because of the great players they had.

Kojo, please tell me you do not rate Tiote higher than Mikel.

Don't know what people see in Tiote, he's nothing special. Tons and tons of better player out there.

Dortmund won't sell him for any less than 35 million.

wouldn`t be the best for team chemistry to have both either. after Tiote elbowed Mikel only for Mikel after getting some minor repair to return to the pitch and get his revenge by smashing him spark out. not many better sights in life than for a lil thug to get knocked the fuck out after starting shit there was no need for. the thing is tho he`s like the African Vinny Jones,take out the thug and there`s not much there atall.
