It's quiet 10, no apologies! (continued)

Think about it. We need width and defensive cover. De Rossi had been very provocative with replies recently, good shout for him. Definitely think a wide man. Navas is a quality player who I've rated for years, he needs a step up and we are that step up. Not a bomb imo, Di Maria would be though. I still think its Di Maria, money being used for Modric.

Cavani?

Dzeko replacement, that's the playet we are getting. A bomb definitely.

I am still hoping for Martinez to cover for CB and mid particularly because of his youth. I think M'Vila is still on the radar and of course DDR is a legend and is only 28. Di Maria is 2 years into a 5 year contract so he will be hard to shift. I don't think Bale will come because of Levy so I would go with Gaston Ramirez.

In relation to a Dzeko replacement, I think Llorente may be a possibility. Although most may say he is not a bomb, I don't think Ibra will shift unless we cut a deal with Tevez. I don't think Napoli will let Cavani go (unfortunately).

 

[scenecreamer]

does anyone like me think DDR is a cheeky c*nt - had the chance to come for a reasonable amount then signs a whopping contract which potentially could cost whoever signs him an extra 10 mill.

I understand loyalty but it seems to me he knew exactly what he was doing - wanting your cake and eating it comes to mind.

On this alone I would tell him to FO

How's he eating it then? Roma has been very good to him. I respect the loyalty he has shown them. They don't deserve to lose profit on a player they developed. You'd tell DDR to gtfo? Very odd indeed.

 

[everythingchangesbutblue]

Bale would be a bigger signing than Di Maria,i'm not saying better but in the english media Bale would blow him out of the water reaction wise.
I trust whomever bobby goes for.

He's eating it because it appears he signed a new 5 year deal just so Roma could potentially get the extra 10 mill. If he loves them so much then let him stay there. He knew we were interested and made his choice. Yes he's a good player (personally don't think he's as good as people think on here).

So you wouldn't have done exactly the same thing then..?

Maybe, just don't see why we as a club should take the hit for the sake of roma. Anyway i don't wan't to get into a debate. Whether I'm right or wrong doesn't matter it's just my opinion. If the club want to pay the money I'll still support him

fair play i say.

While I know these types of lists are notoriously off beam sometimes (ie no Yaya) I would have thought that our bomb signing ought to be in the top 19 players in the world.

Here they are.

19. Luis Suarez (Liverpool & Uruguay) UP FIVE
18. Arjen Robben (Bayern Munich & Holland) DOWN ONE
17. Gareth Bale (Tottenham & Wales) UP TWO
16. Eden Hazard (Lille & Belgium) UP THREE
15. Cesc Fabregas (Barcelona & Spain) DOWN ONE
14. Manuel Neuer (Bayern Munich & Germany) DOWN THREE
13. Zlatan Ibrahimovic (AC Milan & Sweden) UP TWENTY
12. Xabi Alonso (Real Madrid & Spain) NO CHANGE
11. Neymar (Santos & Brazil) UP SIX
10. Sergio Aguero (Man City & Argentina) NO CHANGE
9. Franck Ribery (Bayern Munich & France) DOWN ONE
8. Wayne Rooney (Man United & England) UP ONE
7. Mario Gomez (Bayern Munich & Germany) NO CHANGE
6. David Silva (Man City & Spain) DOWN ONE
5. Andres Iniesta (Barcelona & Spain) UP ONE
4. Robin Van Persie (Arsenal & Holland) NO CHANGE
3. Xavi (Barcelona & Spain) NO CHANGE
2. Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madrid & Portugal) NO CHANGE
1. Lionel Messi (Barcelona & Argentina) NO CHANGE

Think sneijder should be on this list

 

[johnny crossan]

Reports indicating Bayern have agreed a deal for Javi Martinez
Another target bites the dust
Only a select group of class additions in the market
I fear we may not see the additions that winning the title promised
Hope I'm wrong
