jmarlow 458 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 IMO it should be Luiz + 1. If Terry gets a lengthy suspension for the racism charges he'll find it hard to come back and dislodge Cahill and Luiz. Our centre half options are frighteningly strong at the mo.oh yeah of course if the Terry situation goes pear shaped! then it will certainly be Luiz-Cahill which would still be one of the best CB pairings in the league.

termninja 5,290 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 So, Metro says 80k per week. Nice, I guess this is pretty much a done deal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif 6,006 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 So, Metro says 80k per week. Nice, I guess this is pretty much a done deal...Not bad. I believe he earns around £120k a week at Inter Milan, unless they gave him a lower-paying contract at some point that I'm unaware of! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
We Hate Scouse 10,330 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 £6 million + £80k per week is very good.Very happy with it if true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Brilliant deal. Our board keep surprising us with great deals. Great price for him and pretty good wages. He would be a great option at RB or cover for Ivanovic. It depends on how much RDM likes him. I think he'll be playing RB more than most people suspect but I'm fine with that. Ivanovic will play about 60-70% of the games. I honestly don't know how anyone could not want him. We are in the market for a Backup RB who is content with sharing that spot. Maicon is perfect for this role. So excited that we are building what looks to be a title winning side. Anyone who thinks we won't at least challenge is kidding themselves. Our back 4 is very solid. Not many better going around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badboy 1,526 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 His age is a little worrying but if he's a 3 year stop gap then its fine I guess because despite his age he's still one of the best around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kojo 4,676 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 I think it's a good deal, much better than having Bosingwa. And he is an entertaining fulback, he can play right wing for us when needed be also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will keep our attacking players, play football and take the game to them. We would trouble them as much as they would trouble us. For Barcelona we will go conservative but nowhere near to the extent your team lineup suggests. We'll have the players to take it to them, to an extent. Look at Milan's game vs Barcelona. They kept thier attacking players, were well oragnised defensively but also played good going forward and could have gotten some goals. That's how I think we should and will play against Barcelona.
