No striker worth that much will be available. Ie, cavani or Falcao. I expect them to get a back up for Torres and wait until summer to pursue a new starting striker.

fergie's been a douche...
hate every bone in his body [pic]

pardew is not on that level of douche yet, but i'm not a fan of his either.

i remember fergie getting on rafa for calling everton a small club, now newcastle is a "wee little club in the northeast" [pic]

also, !! mike dean...
it was he who sent wenger to the stands at OT even though he didn't see him do anything. sent him to the stands for kicking a water bottle, but not writing anything in his report about fergie having a go at him, the linesman, & the 4th official for like 5 mins in the middle of the field?

LFC will also be signing another midfielder in the summer with a view of Gerrard being a bit part player come next season (about time) Butland (GK) is also a player Liverpool have bid for, the only stumbling block at the moment is the player wants to be loaned straight back out as he doesn't want to be sitting on the bench. I'd be surprised if Reina is here at the end of the summer as he's reportedly on ma#sive wages. Little worried with Butland though as he's only 19 and not good enough to be a first choice keeper yet, LFC should have tried to sign Friedel.

I rarely hate managers so it would be probably for me. Fergie is a ma#sive troll 95% of the time but he does help out other managers a lot so he's not all bad...I don't get the jab at Newcastle though, but any jab at those deluded fans is thumbs up from me [pic]

Anyway, Holtby is an Everton fan who once said he would never play for Liverpool, but no one has loyalty nowadays so he probably would go to Liverpool.

Butland isn't good enough at all, he got majorly hyped for GB but he's been less than impressive for Birmingham when I've seen him play (which is a few times because I tune in for Ravel Morrison), he is all over the place at times. He's not another Kirkland though but no way is he near a Premiership team yet.

u know arsenal showed interest in him in the summer right?
he'll be a good squad player for us, time for mertersacker & podolski to get in his ear [pic]

Nuri Sahin might not have played that well in the couple of games he's played, but he's surely better than Henderson and Shelvey? Nuri should have stayed in Dortmund anyway..

Sahin should have gone to Arsenal and played where Arteta is .

sahin would be getting games in rotation with wilshere & arteta for sure...
i know he made a ton of money by going to madrid, but in terms of football, it might be the worst decision he's ever made. his career has basically been on a 2 year stall. he's getting into the adam johnson (soon to be scott sinclair) territory [pic]

e-street saying that chelsea is trying to sign Negredo in january [pic]
not good news for me...

Smitty, whatever happened to Ryo Miyaichi?

he was starting early in the season for wigan then got injured. came back & made like 2 sub appearances & got injured again [pic]

Rafa was going after El Guaje but Barcelona has decided to keep him until the summer, so it does look like he is indeed going after Negredo. [pic]

Not a bad move that will cost them under 20M. He's better than Demba Ba.

I'd take him over ba. Really wanted villa on loan tho.

!! That I don't want............. I want Falcao

[pic]

Would make no sense to loan Villa. He was the missing piece to the puzzle last year. He would have drilled those sitters that Cesc and Alexis missed against Chelsea. He'll be very important against a team like Juventus and especially Real Madrid. Ramos just doesn't respect Alexis but El Guaje has terrorized him for years.

Arbeloa and Ramos bullied Tello off the ball every chance they had when Villa was out but they have never and will never get away with any of that bull!! with Villa. NEVER. [pic]

Bilbao is going to make a bid for Nacho Monreal, who is one of the best LBs in La Liga right now. They want to bring back Beñat but they had their chance in the summer to get for him for around 18M but I'm sure the price is going to be much higher now.

Txiki Begiristain will certainly make a move for him too, especially if they think they could land Pep this summer.

Falcao himself has said he's staying until summer. So we need to find a filler in the mean time.

A.C. Milan is preparing a bid for Balotelli. [pic]

!! waiting summer, there's another options e.g Lewandowski [pic][pic][pic]

AC Milan should not have someone like him, i mean Suarez can be bad but Balotelli is just a bad apple altogether and barely ever shows a desire to win

Originally Posted by ash1990 !! waiting summer, there's another options e.g Lewandowski [pic][pic][pic]

BVB is a better club for him right now. He has no reason to leave unless he's money hungry.



Balo to Milan makes sense. That's the club he's always supported and since they're dumping pato and robinho it definitely looks like a bid is on the cards.
