Summer Transfer Speculation and Shit

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Pogba, Sanchez, Hummels, Griezmann, Schweinsteiger, Balotelli, Messi, Ronaldo, RvC and Cesc and I'll be happy.

You forgot a world class goal keeper in that list.



Good of Le Grove to finally name his "names". Both undoubtedly world class talent though and would be highly welcomed. I think Reus is simply impossible - he's too well coveted and we don't represent enough of a step up from Dortumund for him to specifically choose us ahead of a Barca or Real.

Sanchez is a possibility but if he keeps putting in the world class performances he has been during the world cup Barca may just change his mind and keep him. They're batshit insane in the first place to let him go (assuming it's all true).


Either way we need to actually deliver on something. Another seasons of trying but succeeding simply won't be acceptable. Move hard, fastand decisively and if you can't get your target look for something as close to it. E.g. - If Sanchez/Reus fails we need to be all over Greizzeman in a flash.

Anything less than Dino Zoff, Daniel Passarella, Zinedine Zidane, Cafu, Jarzinho and Diego Maradonna and i'll be steaming

Well Jarzinho is 69, and Maradonna is a fat, shit, drug addict now, so I wouldn't rule it out? Both are out of contract too, so the price is right! Doubt we'd be able to get Zizou away from Madrid though...

Goalkeepers are for cowards!

It sounds like they're trying to do that - we now know we went for Draxler in January, and, if these links are to be believed, then it looks like we've now switched targets to Reus (possible Puma link again?), with Sanchez as another option if we can't get the German. I don't know how much truth there is to our interest in Griezmann and Remy either, but I suppose they might be further options, who sit further and further down the quality scale? As you say though, trying and succeeding are two very different things, and we've now got a very nervy wait to see if our negotiating teams have learned anything from last summer...
