Summer Transfer Speculation and Shit.

[Özim]

May as well go for Lewandowski, Cavani, Suarez, Aguero as well. If we're going after a Real 1st teamer when they are already short of out and out strikers why not go for some of the others?

How about Griezman he seems to be able to get 25 odd goals a season, or Lacazette (as has been mentioned before), they seem to have goals in them.

Benzema is good, but I don't think he's in Aguero or Suarez's class, he's below those kind of strikers, his record at Real is very good but not phenomenal. Would be good to have him here, but there's other options who wouldn't represent a downgrade IMO.

I think Benitez is going to play Bale and Ronaldo a closer to each other and probably more centrally, which fits with what he did in the case of Stevie Me and Torres.

Plus, Real Madrid have yet to make their new toy signing yet, which could be Reus, although it's oddly quiet for them this year. I can't imagine they would let a summer pass tamely by after Barcelona won the Treble again though.

Benzema would be signed for his link play which is very, very good. His goalscoring is a little erratic, it's still good but I think it's his link play it would mainly be for but unlike Giroud he isn't slow on the ball.

Benitez seemed to say Benzema wasn't leaving two days ago, so it would appear he is in his plans, so I can't imagine he wants to sell him.

We've done this numerous times so I'm very wary, we seems to go after players clubs aren't interested in selling and categorically say aren't leaving and always fail to sign them in the end (after a long drawn out saga) and have noone else lined up.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I hope, I'm sure isn't discouragingly definitive. It's Real Madrid anyway, things change very quickly there.

[Niall_Quinn]

We do have an alternative lined up, Aubameyang. And he's not available either.

[Maestro]

we should take our bag of money, head to south america and buy the best young striker out there.

[mastermind84]

Historically or currently?

Should be a mixture of both, no?

I would put Inter and Milan over Arsenal but you would be hard pressed to find 10 teams that are bigger unless you want to name drop Ajax or Nottingham Forrest.

[Marc Overmars]

Chesney confirms he is joining Roma on loan.

United sign Sergio Romero... De Gea.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Here's to hoping. Romero is a bit crap.

I've a feeling Utd will try to get Lloris.
