Marseille want to sell Ayew, Mbia and Azpilicueta, they just want to get a reasonable amount of cash and I think Chelsea are playing hardball. I get that, but we should be getting our new RB bleeding in already so I want this done soon. It also seems like Kakuta is gonna go out on-loan, maybe to Marseille. I think that depends on them selling Ayew though. Would be a good fit, if true.

Things to do: Sign Azpilicueta, send Kakuta to Marseille and McEachran ******* SOMEWHERE ALREADY, sign Moses, sell Malouda and maybe bring in a striker. Go team go.

 

[Zakov]

Quite surprised Malouda hasn't gone yet. I thought there was a Brazilian club coming in for him.

 

[Sir Calumn]

Me too, wages prob too high.

Mandieta6 I agree with all of your to do list except I think we should not sign another striker til January, I think being the ONLY choice and having no-one breathing down his neck for a couple of months could do wonders for Torres.

 

[Arnau]

Hard to believe you'll start the season with Torres as the only #9...

 

[Sir Calumn]

I really dont have a problem with it. We've got Sturridge, and there is the potential for plenty of goals in our midfield and supporting forwards.

 

[Mandieta6]

Sturridge and Hazard/Mata false 9 (maybe) for now.

 

[Arnau]

You don't play positional attack makes no sense playing without a reference. i think you'll sign someone.

 

[Mandieta6]

I think so too.

What the **** do you mean by positional attack?

 

[Arnau]

In football there's the positional attack and direct attack, you play the second one. Positional is based on beating rival lines by pass and disorganize them by possession.

 

[Mandieta6]

Just say pissession then.

 

[Jaboldinho]

Just had a piss session in the toilet.

 

[Mandieta6]

Emenalo is meeting with Azpi's reps today, and Hutchinson has been loaned to Nottingham Forest. I'd say Azpi us close ti down or else Hutch wouldn't be allowed to leave. Good stuff alk around.

 

[Sir Calumn]

In the papers today it said the Hulk deal was still very much on the cards....... RvP going to United may well have sealed it as Abramovich will feel he needs to add an established talent I think. If so it will be another 100m year!

 

[Mandieta6]

If Moses is coming I'd much ratuer a forward. Or a CM even.

I'll be humiliated if we don't get 3rd easily. Spurs got no ST yrlet and no Modric. Arsenal no RavP and possibly no Song and no Wilshere (for now).

 

[Sir Calumn]

I will very very disappointed with anything less than a strong title challenge.

 

[Sir Calumn]

Lukaku is gonna have a STORMING season at WBA and be the new Drogba within three years, I can feel it.

 

[Mandieta6]

I turned on the TV to see the Prem matches and they were only showing the Pool game. Didn't see Lukaku anywhere on the field so I was disappointed. Went out, got back just in time to see the ref signal the end and saw the cameras focusing on Lukaku. Figured he either did good or did horribly. Dude did good. I read that he had a good overall cameo, not just a goal. Clarke and Lukaku, West Brom are my 2nd team this year. I

 

[yoyo913]

I saw his highlights and he had a nice header goal, should have had 2 assists as well. He set two short but precise through passes but his teammates blotched them.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Alright pirate sites... which one of you has match of the day...

 

[Mandieta6]

For all of their good play on the ball, Mikel at circulating and keeping it and Lamps at moving the ball horizontally and breaking forward into space, we do not have anyone capable of playing the ball well out of defense, and it was as evident as ever against Wigan. We can kill any team on the counter, but we need to improve on that front or all of that expensive attack force is wasted. Can't see us getting someone appropriate this year, especially since we have a lot of players for the position anyway.
