Personally I would have liked us to have announced atleast where the training camp is by now Can see some Barca references. Still plenty of time left, are they mentioning dates over there ?

That could be ominous if the red bull rumour is to be believed

Their movement, pressing and passing is breathtaking

Thought he was taller than that !? Jesus Ok, from what I have seen he is decent in the air

Big, strong, english, scores goals Dependant on price I certainly wouldnt be upset, would need to be under 8m though

Its the winners of all the major tournaments... Great comp but probably why as an England fan its often brushed over

This will be a good game, Uraguay are a bigger team these days and certainly stronger then they have been in recent history. Going forward they are very good, defensively not so much

I love Mickles, such a class player and seems a bit of a gent. He is an american through and through though and owned by the bookies by all accounts

What are you banging on about ?

He is a great little hassler but I agree he isnt going to really affect anything arial unless he works on his leaping (plyometrics). I think he will end up as a more forward player, he reminds me a lot of Wilshere but hasnt got the build. Worth noting Verrati is a tiny fella aswell and is v good as the disruptive midfielder.

There you go, told you he was a WUM

Least needed yes but Id definately like to see more competition here. Start of the season we were trying and failing to replicate a player like cork and so if we can grab someone to add to options and competition I think it will do wonders. Plus, not sure you can turn down a player like banega

Exactly this, I cant see JWP getting an aweful lot of game time this year which is a shame as I think he will be a v good little player. That said, you just cant stand still. We can do a Utd and give him some rotation but at the end of the day if we are looking to improve he will go out on loan or even sell him for a decent amount

Benega, cork and Morgan will be fighting it out for CM role with Gaston in an advanced position IMO. Thats if we sign him of course. Morgan and Banega is simply breathtaking for a team that is new to the PL. Start of the season I wanted a CB, CM, ST and wideman and obviously we are going a long way to doing this. Its all about adding quality competition this year improving on what we have.

I wouldnt waste one of your posts Georgie, be it for Glasgie (who has worked his way up to the next level of troll) or 110, who, well, lets just say I saw the name and knew what was coming

Prob spurs bound. In all honesty though the japs were poor, Brazil look a shadow of the team that won the WC in 02. Definately missing a solid frontman since Pato nosedived. And they definately dont seem so strong in DM.

Id of said we are a way off yet but wow this woukd be a statement

That would be an excellent signing

He definately has a good engine........

TBF brazil havnt let them have much of the ball yet

Which is why I dont really understand the clamour of a partnership involving a right and left footed players, IMO I think that the advantage is possibly there but v minimal

Terry/ivanovic/luiz all RF as far as Im aware Pique and puyol Pepe and verane

Personally I want more mobility upfront and potentially a new wide man but yes, looks v good

I would have said that there is very little basis in the right/left sided partnership of CBs. I mean where do you stop ? A right and left footed CM partnership etc ? You are much better just having a player comfortable on the ball, it really isnt hard. I would have said the majority of coaches and managers are just looking for able players at the heart of their defence and a partnership of a ball playing CB and ball winning CB is much more favourable

I just read the name
