Summer Transfer Speculation and Shit

He wasn't a bit part player but he was in the shadows a bit. Everyone is a sideshow for Messi, everything goes through him and you don't see the best of other flair attackers. For Chile he seemed to play with a lot more freedom. The thing that made Suarez so effective was that he was a bit of a battering ram. Just completely relentless in getting involved, hassling defenders, twists and turns and all that. If Sanchez gets that part sorted quickly in a central role then we've solved the major problem from last season.

We aren't winning the league this year, if I put a cold realism hat on for 5 seconds. We'll win it the following year though, and the year after that. Once we have added that crucial component, a monster in the middle, and allowed him a season to bed in. If we have £45mill for Reus then we should spend £60mill on Pogba. Everyone thinks he can't be got this year, so we should go and get him before the oil and drugs cash comes into play next summer.

You mean like Palace :d

We don't have Gerrard either..... Most of us agree the humblings we were given were deeply rooted and down to more than the DM in the team at the time, though that is a big part of it.

In that regard Wenger was naive as were a few individuals like Chamberlain..... With the attacking threat we might have, we might actually get the first goal in more of these bigger ties and that alone could be the difference.

Having said this I absolutely want us to sign a DM despite playing champ manager fantasy land.

Honestly if it was choice between Schindler's list and Reus, it's Reus every time.
If it was a choice of Javi Martinez and Reus I might take a while longer to choose.

If he wasn't black I'd put money on Pogba being your offspring.

Yep, Reus looks a bit tippy tappy for a wideman. Sanchez is a show stopper.

If Reus is so good, why did Dortmund allow him to leave a few years back only to buy him back? Now all of a sudden hes a genius :blah:

These Germans are in fashion right now. Theyre all worth about 40 mill apparently.

I watched most of this now and he makes it look so easy.

With Sanchez, Ramsey and Feo in the team, the best is yet to come!

The intro alone :bow:

DM for me. Strengthen the spine, address your most pressing weaknesses.

Arteta has been a fantastic servant to the club but he's 1-2 seasons past his sell-by date. Age is a factor in his decline, but the ACL injury he suffered means it's going to be vertiginous from here on in.

Unless Santi fux off another AM/LW, even one as good as Reus isn't going to bolster us as dramatically.

Apparently you guys are signing Juan Quintero, some midget Colombian from Porto, for a fee "believed to be" about £16m.

:unsure:

i always get confused between quintero and cudrado, if we are signing this guy and i am not convinced we are that might be the end for Cazorla

But on the positive note, i like these Colombian players....by far and away they were my favourite team at the world cup to watch.

A silky, young, talented, midget no.10 that can't find the net? Exactly what we need!

Wumgering is an art form.

i like it personally, anything that brings back into our side is welcome as far as i'm concerned.

Don't understand this move in all honesty, if it's true course.

But he's Colombian, so that's good.
