is it still possible to get a lars/sven bender?

i cant see him not signing anyone. it would take some serious scamming and conning to not sign anyone when the team is ravaged by this kind of injury crisis, with the squad thin enough to begin with, and so many matches to play in the next 2 weeks.

so pogba, cabaye, kondogbia and gourcuff are the realistic players that we can sign for CM now

^ gustavo was a bayern player. he's used to the success and money there. we cant offer him either one.

if spurs can get soldado and capoue, i'll be stumped if we cant get anyone around that calibre

^ what's the story about falcao anyway?

no for both, we need that money elsewhere. if newcastle wants cabaye for 30mil i cant imagine how much we need to splash for other mids

fella should cost around 30
bego, maybe 20
michu and williams were rejected for 35mil, i dont know how much laudrup wants for those two

we might have to get lesser striker and defender with the remaining 20.

... i see a season loan similar to benayoun coming

i think if we include the possibility of season long loans tho, we can buy good enough players with the 70mil. fellaini 30mil, bego 20mil, williams 20mil, and season long loan for good players in great teams that arent getting playtime like alexis sanchez, ba or the likes.

^ if we're talking all in spending i'd rather 70m on marco reus haha

yeah, i was trying to include more players in that description haha. in my head, alexis sanchez fits that description better than ba. guy has pedro and neymar in the team

~20mil. which is the amount we rumoured to bid for pogba. newcastle wants 30mil for cabai

^ now that's one good news i dont need to wait for official confirmation. HA!

begovic isnt the main gk for bosnia? who is?

people say this is the best year for arsene wenger to win the PL, as all the other big three clubs had managerial changes. one game in the league, and the complete opposite happens. chelsea with a convincing win, man utd again getting the goods from rvp, and city thrashing teams and starting to look like contenders again. such is football.

i dont know what's up with fellaini, i know moyes wants him in man utd but isnt it weird that he didnt activate the release clause to bring him there? he's their ex manager of course he knows what's up in fellaini's contract. but instead of bidding for his clause, he makes a double bid for fellaini and baines which got rejected. wth?

if it's true they want 30mil for cabaye i vote we go for fellaini instead

^ plus he's also another injury prone french. we have got to stop it with injury prone players. i'm beginning to be more convinced with fellaini. the guy's a physical monster and can play multiple positions. the only thing about fella is i dont think he's technically apt to play the passing game, which is where cabaye excels. but for 30mil i know which one of the two i prefer

the thing is i really dont think fellaini will move. if moyes or wenger really wanted him, they couldve activated the release clause weeks ago but they didnt. so now, thinking again, for 30mil we should bid for pogba/kondogbia

what makes you think crystal palace wants to let go of their best player?

^ iuno man, ppl change, the league changes. torres changed to worse, who's to say pogba wont do the opposite?

i admit i dont know much about him, but from what i read he sounds like a technically adept midfield enforcer

i dont watch him often, but he sort of reminds me a bit of a younger arteta, when he was a more box to box player? gooners think he was the reason why newcastle were challenging for europe spots a few season back
