Great news all around.
That Clichy rumor is BS.Not sure about others.
Yeah, I figured it was, considering we've been discussing 5-10 on this forum.

I don't see Arsenal holding in the competition for Mata..
Rumors that Meireles promise has been broken by FSG and they look to offlaod him now.. Expect some sad and emotional comments from Raul if he leaves..

Re: Summer Silly Season: Official Thread
Rumors i have read:
we will see
Adam will be signed today with Shelvy and Darby going on loan to Blackpool.
Downing will hand in a transfer request today if not tomorrow.
We offered new contract with pay hike to Meireles but he rejected it because it was less than promised.So we will sell him if good offer comes in but him going of is not set in stone.
we will see

Shame about Raul, I didn't think he'd leave so soon after joining.
He is better than Adam IMO.

I dont think Adam is brought it to replace Meireles.He is more of a backup for Gerrard.

Adam doesn't have the pace, tackling, workrate, or shooting to properly fill Gerrard's role. He [Adam] and Meireles are far more similar in playing style than either is to Gerrard.BeautifulGame wrote:kick mars wrote:Shame about Raul, I didn't think he'd leave so soon after joining.

Well Meireles played in RW and AM for us under Kenny whereas Gerrard played in CM whenever fit.Adam is a CM player so the natural assumption is that he is cover for Gerrard.They may have different styles but they play in the same position.
Unless Gerrard is moved into AM which i very much doubt not sure how Adam will get into the team.

Re: Summer Silly Season: Official Thread
There's talk of Gerrard playing on the right in a forward three. Gerrard's best position over the past 4 seasons has been AM. Raul played CM throughout his career before joining us and, other than passing range and set piece delivery, matches up favourably to Adam in all categories that are looked at for CM.
In the end it doesn't matter though as I said the two were closer to each other than either was to Gerrard, so I have no idea why you're trying to argue one is more likely to back up Gerrard's place. Seems to me if anyone is going to be the likely back up for Gerrard it's Henderson (tends to play RM/CAM/CM).

The point is Meireles played in AM for us.Adam is not an AM.So he is not a replacement for Meireles IMO.

Re: Summer Silly Season: Official Thread
I don't think we had that much difference between our AM and CM positions last season. It was two CMs who both pushed forward when we were attacking, if you ask me.
Moreover, I don't really see Henderson & Adam as replacements for anyone. They are just two new players to our midfield who will play to best of their abilities, they don't have to be the same as our current / previous midfield players.

Ryad Boudebouz, 21, claiming that we're seriously interested in him.
I've heard the name but don't know the lad. A playmaker, apparently, so another midfield player.

yeah but hes more of an AM/R & L winger, (not a central mid like all those we already have or are linked with),BeautifulGame wrote:Another midfielder.
so if ever he came it would probably be for the wings.

Re: Summer Silly Season: Official Thread
So Malaga & PSG are doing better than us, in the transfer market!!!
I haven't lost heart, not yet, still. But I have reason to doubt the hype about the Camoli guy & this transfer window.
Frankly, I have already lowered the expectations and will now be happy with the following:
1. Clear at least some of the trash
2. Keep the good players
3. Decent LB & LW

I have similar sentiments, but I'm optimistic. The continental window hasn't opened yet, so let's wait a couple days.

and its not even 1st July yet
maybe when comes 1st September Comolli & Kenny will have surpassed your expectations.
(EDIT: and btw, for now PSG have only bought Gameiro for €11mil, so its not what i would call doing better than us)

How have Malaga or PSG done better than us.They havent signed anyone good enough for us.We signed Suarez and Carroll too after Camolli came in.Have they signed anyone of similar quality?
