Just saw Lucina Traore in youtube, I repeat in youtube and not a full game, he looks more like a playmaker than a targetman. In summary judging from that 5 mins and 51 secs clip, I have the following impresssion :-

1. He's fast, inspite of his height and I'm impress
2. Average with his shooting
3. Heading, needs no mentioning, he'll outjump everyone
4. Good dribbler, Downing should learn a few things from him
5. A bit lightweigh, needs to toughen up for the EPL

If he can work on '5', then I guess it's a decent buy for the amount that we are going to pay and he'll be effective, not that we can afford the Messis or Agueros of this world at this point of time.

But, not sure whether BR is buying a playmaker or an out an out striker, if it's the latter then it will have to be someone else and not Lucina. But for that amount and if he's contributing, I believe FSG won't mind.

Traore isn't coming. he's already with the Anzi (russian team).

word has it on caughtoffside.com, we bought gaston ramirez for 20m

Here we go again. Gaston looks better than Lucina and if he's bought as an attacking mid then we're still short of a striker.

Lulz Wiki

til now we just have too many speculation but none of them are materialize yet... when arsenal targeting podolski and yes they are buying it but when we are targeting a player and pls dun trust it yet... the rumour is getting joke to another level...

inb4 pls get Andrea Schurrle...

Other recent transfer speculation:
Lacina Traore
Hugo Lloris
Gaston Ramirez
Juan Manuel Vargas
James Rodriguez
Victor Moses
Salomon Rondon
Luc Castaignos
Fabio Borini
Alvaro Morata
Milos Krasic
Victor Wanyama
Salomon Kalou
Daniel Sturridge
Gylfi Sigurdsson

Gaston Ramirez & Lacina Traore would be more than enough for me this summer. I'm not gonna ask for anything else. Please get these two..

I don't expect any title next season but I hope an exciting football for this club under Brendan Rodgers.
How about Glyfi deal now?

Glyfi is in the brink of joining spurs because they offer him higher wages than us.

gaston = glyfi but but glyfi 10m cheaper due to nationality... thus losing glyfi already showed how poor we are in this transfer

Rest in Peace, Joe Fagan.

You'll Never Walk Alone.

Rest in Peace.

Anzhi sign Ivorian striker Traore

Looks like we can now forget Lucina and it's Gylfi Sigurdsson vs Victor Moses. I reckon I'll go for Victor, he's very much in the mould of Craig Johnston, a little terrier and will terrorize defence, that's what we need most at the moment as our midfiled is somewhat toothless and we can't rely on them for the coming campaign. Gylfi reminds me very much of Morten Gamst Pedersen, take nothing away from Peter, a very good player but somehow due to the fact that Victor dares to take on defenders and excels in tight defence gives him the nod over Gylfi. Hence, I won't be upset if he signs for Spurs but I'll be if we miss out on Moses. Why can't we make things snappy and sign up Moses asap before the new season draws nearer where competition to sign players will be intense and more often than not inflated prices will have to be paid.

Wigan was quoting a price of around 10m pounds. Overrated and overpriced.

Any idea when will the new pl season schedule be announced?

already announced for quite some time.

Our first game is against WBA (Steve Clarke in charge)

Oh god did Henry hire a monkey to design our jerseys this season?

Fernando Torres is now a Champions' League & FA Cup winner, European champion and also the Euros Golden Boot winner. Yet this is considered his worst season thus far.

He wanted trophies when he left us, I guess the lesson here is "Be careful of what you wish for"

Jersey season 2011-12 no more selling? I prefer that one instead of this one!

actually the theory of him scoring in a RED Shirt still stands...haha he scored against Italy...haha
