He may mean it in the sense of numbers, not of budget. One signing, at huge cost, may therefore fit within his definition of no major overhaul. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's the definition of a top club. This would make Atleti the only 'top' club in the world which makes that definition hard to work with. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe a left back (if they move shaw) and a cm to replace carrick and that's it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I doubt he's someone the club are still interested in. A CF (Lukaku or Morata) is the most likely acquisition. There aren't many links and he's not worth the money quoted. Would like his signing just for excitement, for the fact that we can compete with the big boys. Obviously he's very good and he'd be my signing for right-side forward regardless of money but if club pass on this they can't be blamed. But I simply don't want another underwhelming signing that we have concerns about from the start and being absolutely fed up 6 months in. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I can see them getting rid of a few big earners (Rooney being the main one) and once again splashing out on a marquee signing. There aren't many links and he's not worth the money quoted.

But I simply don't want another underwhelming signing that we have concerns about from the start and being absolutely fed up 6 months in.I'm with you. We need a ready made player to fill either a potential CF void or a RWF. We've bought poorly on the grand scheme of things when it comes to the latter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blues.bridge 331 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 I would prefer Dybala over Griezmann. A level of quality between the two there is no story, I just watch the games and ball control, dribbling, genius, vision of the game, the shot, the set pieces, the ability to make assists, to speak Dybala, griezz is better only in entries Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They are also in the PL which is considered the best league in the world. No one expects Dybala to say at Juve if he keep his current form either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It shouldn't have four CL spots anymore. In terms of quality, it is unarguably true that The Premier League is not the best in the world. I think however that Premier League fans get a bad wrap in this regard due to imprecise use of language. Many describe the English league as the "best" but few, if any, mean that in terms of its quality. Sometimes people are referring to the league's undoubted popularity, and sometimes, rightly or wrongly, they are expressing the opinion that the league is the most interesting. If you tell me that it would sound less arrogant, and more grounded in reality, if we all gave up the shorthand and used language more accurately, I could not argue with you. That said, I neither know, nor know of, anyone who thinks the Premier League contains the best players, in the best teams, playing the best football. In that sense, I think it would be wrong to imagine that there are people who genuinely believe those things. If there are any, then they are a tiny, tiny minority. Clearly England's entitlement to four Champions League places is based more on our clubs' exploits in the not so distant past, than it is on their current efforts. Equally clearly therefore the fourth place will be lost unless we buck up our ideas. For those who, like me, have an emotional commitment to this league, it matters a great deal that we should. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PSG doing quite well in the Champions League, so Ligue 1 is a stronger league than the PL? I think you have to look at 20 teams, not only 2-3. In the Premier League even the worst teams have great players and each team is dangerous. In Italy, the bottom 4-5 teams are a joke, also in Spain. You can't compare Crotone or Granada to Swansea. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
