Uh oh. Who will Marca and the Sun link Juan to in his impending sale now?

by iNFINITY9910 Thu 27 Jun 2013, 06:22

We have ManU at the start of the season... and any news about a proper striker?

by Kick Thu 27 Jun 2013, 06:24

Apparently, Bruma to PSV is a done deal.

Also, we've been linked with a bid for Henrikh Mkhitaryan. Not who I want, really.

Shaktar have produced plenty of great quality players and they play a very good style of football too, if he has the potential to play as a DLP then he could be a worthwhile move, although 25mil is bit steep for him

Of course Mou could go back to 4-3-3 next season and this fellah with the untypable name could play the Lampard role in midfield

by Kick Thu 27 Jun 2013, 06:55

He'll play in an AM/CM role, something that I would rather see Oscar or KDB play. I doubt he could play DLP. He is not creative enough.

Really? From what I saw of them, their entire game was defend and counter. Effective maybe, but not what I'd call 'very good' stylistically speaking.

by Kick Thu 27 Jun 2013, 07:00

Basically, I'd let him go to Liverpool, Focus on getting MVG, a CF and a DM.

by Shed Thu 27 Jun 2013, 07:06

According to that i-t-k, there's an "interference" in the loan deal for Wallace to Roma concerning a player moving permanently to Chelsea the other way....

by Kick Thu 27 Jun 2013, 07:09

De Rossi or Marquinhos! Proud

FFS, make it happen!

by Shed Thu 27 Jun 2013, 07:14

He intimates De Rossi. Whether we want to believe it or not is up to us. As I've said several times before, he's gotten a lot of stuff right, having seen so with my own eyes, but isn't completely perfect, as even the most reliable and informed aren't 100% of the time.

by Kick Thu 27 Jun 2013, 07:20

So basically, we want De Rossi for Cash + loan of Wallace?

De Rossi
Cavani
Van Ginkel
GK
Schurrle

that would be a pretty fantastic summer imo.

by Shed Thu 27 Jun 2013, 07:22

Alot of if's in there tho....

by Kick Thu 27 Jun 2013, 07:30

Yes but I trust Chelsea to get a majority of them done.

Cech
Azpilicueta Ivanovic Luiz Cole
De Rossi De Bruyne
Mata Oscar Hazard
Cavani

Blackman
Essien Cahill Terry Cole
Mikel
Ramires Lampard
Schurrle Ba/Torres/Lukaku Moses

No Room for Van Ginkel. hmm

A lot of depth though.

by Shed Thu 27 Jun 2013, 07:32

Same old mistakes with the first one but I'm going to hold my tongue Mad

by Kick Thu 27 Jun 2013, 07:41

I was gonna say don't bother, you're not gonna change me. tongue

A squad of:
GKs: Cech, Blackman, McCarthy

Defs: Azpilicueta, Ivanovic, Luiz, Terry, Cahill, Cole, Bertrand

Mids: De Rossi, Mikel, Essien, Ramires, Lampard, De Bruyne, Van Ginkel, Oscar, Hazard, Mata, Schurrle, Moses

CFs: Cavani, Ba/Lukaku, Torres

That's 25 players with 8/9 home grown players, amazing depth would be a good enough side to compete for the EPL.

by Shed Thu 27 Jun 2013, 07:43

Kick wrote:CFs: Cavani, Ba/Lukaku, Torres

Change to 'Ba/Torres' and we're in business Thumbs up

by Kick Thu 27 Jun 2013, 07:46

Torres won't go, We all know that. I think Ba should be sold as we could get some decent money for him and allow Lukaku to stay.

I am also not 100% sold on the overcrowded midfield but as I don't see Lampard staying past the end of the season, I guess it's ok.

by Shed Thu 27 Jun 2013, 07:52

Torres will go Summer Transfer Thread - Page 35 2276801876

Let me hold on to the dream a little longer Sad

As for everything else, disregard if I'm wrong, but wouldn't Blackman, Van Ginkel, Lukaku, etc. not count towards the 25 limit as they're under-21?

by Kick Thu 27 Jun 2013, 07:57

Not 100% sure about MVG as he will turn 21 this year but the rest I lumped in as Home grown as they don't matter anyway.

by Kick Thu 27 Jun 2013, 12:27

Cavani has requested a talk with the Napoli owner De Laurentiis, who, rejected the idea, stating there is a buyout clause.

Basically saying, if a club offers that much money, you're sold Cavani.

Perhaps it would be a good idea to wait till after the 10th of August and let Cavani force his way out? hmm

by fatman123 Thu 27 Jun 2013, 14:22

As soon as those pics of next seasons kit came out with Torres in them we knew he was going nowhere

by Kick Thu 27 Jun 2013, 14:27

He's not going anywhere because no one wants him.

by Kick Thu 27 Jun 2013, 14:49

PSV have confirmed the signing of Bruma.

by Kick Thu 27 Jun 2013, 14:50

There is a buyback clause as well, he signed for 3m euros.

by Soul Thu 27 Jun 2013, 15:43

Was gonna post about it. Works well for all parties I guess.
