the guys at Punta Pelota said Man city wants a straight exchange between Gago and Adebayor

I'm not too keen on keeping Ade by paying a fee, so if we can let one of our liabilities go instead, then I'd support it. He could still prove useful, certainly more than Gago is likely to.

Speaking of Gago, here is an interview published on AS with him. He says that he will talk to Mourinho about his future after the Copa America.

Please not Fabregas... we have enough midfielders and we don't need any new superstar!
And also, maybe Sahin will be better than him... (someday)

Sahin isn't that far off imo

We will see next season how much of a difference there is

I'm with you Crimson. Sahin is just about there imo... he just wasn't playing for as hyped a club as Arsenal. Player of the year in the Bundesliga is no joke considering the competition.

If we never had sahin then great but there is no room.

Yeh if we didn't have Sahin then Fabregas would of been welcome. However I still think it would be hard to reject a player like Fabregas.

Also Sissoko is linked to us again.

I'd be happy to see Gago go to Liverpool

me too looks like a perfect fit.

president of benfica, vieria is in madrid.

coentrao is ours.

Roma interested in Higuain.

Pay up 40 million Roma or go away.

I don't care how much they offer, they can fruit off for all I care

Not saying that we should sell, but in all honesty we should be pretty proud that we've transformed Higuain into a player worth around 40 mil.

rather have aguero than higuain.

higuain can only slot in goals, wouldnt be as a danger to barca as kun has shown he is.

Both have played in Spain since the 2006/2007 season (Aguero played the full season in his first year whereas Higuain only played half the season)

Note they are both the same age (23)

Their Spanish career totals:

Aguero

234 Appearances
102 Goals (0.44 goals a game)
37 Assists (0.16 assists a game)

Higuain

166 Appearences
77 Goals (0.46 goals a game)
26 Assists (0.16 assists a game)

That's pretty even.

As I'm sure sportsczy will be quick to point out, if we look at minutes played, I'm assuming the numbers would swing in Higuain's favor.

Actually Higuain pulls way ahead if you consider that he has had alot more substitute appearances

Funny just as you posted that I was adding it in an edit.

In terms of stats I think it's almost equal. However in terms of vs Barca I think both of them can play together in a 4-3-3. Higuain is a finisher so he just needs chances created by Sahin Ozil and Aguero is capable of troubling them by himself.

Oh god pls dont tell me thats cesc fabregas in the front pic.
last thing we need is cesc. he will screw us big time against farca.

When are you guys going to learn!! There is NO WAY Cesc will ever come to Madrid. His options are stay at Arsenal or be sold to Barcelona. Barcelona are playing this pretty coy this year. They have noted that Arsenal are asking for more money than they were offering last year (45M vs 40M) and yet given his contract is coming up to his last year, his value should actually be less. They have a few problems if they do sign him this year; 1 is that 45M is their entire transfer budget, 2 it's pretty obvious that Wenger won't let him go, 3 midfield is not an area they need to improve and 4 they will lose Thiago Alcantara. He's just 19 years old and fast becoming Xavi's successor. If you watched the under 21 team you can see this is one headed for stardom.

So I feel they will go after him next year when his contract is expiring. Arsenal have been trying to get Cesc to sign an extension, but given how badly he wants to go, I doubt he will sign. Next year is still not too late to have him play some with Xavi before he retires. The new problem after next year (assuming Thiago becomes firmly established with club) will be who is Xavi's replacement (Cesc or Thiago) or can they play both plus Iniesta in same midfield.

calm down, it was just for the fun lol, it's Marca after all

Higgy isn't going anywhere.It's definitely Benz if and when they sign Aquero.

Gee Nick, you're getting to be worse than the papers!!!!

Do you think with pres of Benfica in town, we'll have a deal for Coentrao by tomorrow?

loool it was funny to see just how badly marca wants him.

maybe, i read they wanted to sell lass first. Maybe they can agree a deal and the transaction happens at a later date.

I don't think Lass is going anywhere. There insisting on 20M!! Lass isn't worth 10, I can't see any team paying at most 15. I think this is just a move to keep Lass. (Look Lass, no one wants to pay the price you are worth!!)

lol, Lass is worth well over 15M, that's a minimum, he is 25, and he has world class experience.

Lucky for us Conte really wants him, so maybe we can get a good price. but im not holding my breath, juventus is trying to low ball everyone lately.

Lass really wants to go tho, his best shot to play the Euro
