Yeah they'd be great, and I'd imagine not too badly priced really.I could see Tiote going for a bit less than £20m, could get both for £35m, maybe £40m max (would Newcastle even sell? Part of me would doubt it) but it'd be an expensive summer with that hypothetical double swoop, Kagawa, Nick Powell seems to be coming and we do need a left back.
Now you're seeing sense. Just seen his transfer fee though to Everton, that was big money
It's a mess right now. But yeah, the chances of him staying seem pretty low atm. Do we even care?
He's fine in the centre at Spurs, it's just Redknapp does stupid things like put him on the left.
Kagawa is perfect. Fellaini for £23m, Powell for £4m and Izaguirre for £7m. Please.
Fellaini is a £20+ million player. Everton bought him for £15 and they're in financial crisis so they'll squeeze as much out of him as they can muster. He's certainly got all the qualities you mention but he also possesses the added bonus of being a complete and utter nobhead, which almost qualifies him for a move to United on its own.
Dirty, dirty player. If you sign him then prepare to have your play halted as the referee blows up for every elbow and kick he tries to sneak in.

If United want Modric then £30m is the lowest they'd get him for. But you know Spurs will want at least £5m more.
Modric would be a brilliant purchase but I'd prefer someone that could offer a bit more defensively in midfield. Thats what we're missing imo.
Also, I've just came back from a mates house where we watched The Tree of Life. Can someone explain to me wtf was going on please.

What do I win Wilbury?

Honestly? No.
A boy can dream (if we had the funds)
Probably just swap that Tiote/Cabaye option for Carrick.
Ah yeah, elbowing Suarez will be beautiful. Can't wait to see what he does when he's actually been touched.
Dinosaurs innit
i thought brad Pitt was awesome but the film was too abstract for its own good
Don't remind me. Sahin was what, 5m? Fucking ridiculous.
Also, my scouts say Xhaka is only likely to be 2 and a half stars.

You win my all consuming love and a preposterously mediocre handjob
The movie looked gorgeous and I enjoyed the overall experience.
I'm just not entirely sure what the movie was all about.
I can see why some people hate it.

I will be sad if Fellaini is sold. He is my favorite player to watch on the team.I've never been impressed by Dembele.
Such a strange film. Saw it at the cinema with a friend and we were utterly baffled, the dinosaur bit in particular.
It's the only film I had people walk out of during my time at Odeon.
Dembele was a striker converted into a CAM wasn't he? Can't see him wanting to go down the field any further.
Cleverly too, could be a bit too deep for him but I guess he's going to have to adapt as Kagawa will be getting any CAM spot.
It's the old Prometheus
Stop spoiling movies guys
It's not really a spoiler to say that it was a bit confusing.
It was terribly confusing
Dembélé can play in so many positions, it's ridiculous. He's been playing as a CMF for Fulham this season with Dempsey pushed forward into a very advanced attacking MF. He can play in the center or out wide, or as a striker. Fantastic player, and a better pick than Fellaini IMO.
Despite his misstep in injuring Cahill, Mertens would be my pick from the Belgian squad, personally.

Yeah he'd be a good buy, Mirallas too.
A lot of Liverpool fans not happy that we're targeting Sigurdsson. He scored 7 from 17 appearances last season in the PL, and has replicated his good form everywhere he's been. He'd cost like 7 or 8 million, and we know he'd play well since its the same manager.
"Chelsea got Hulk and Hazard and we get Sigurdsson." Yes, because the only way to do well and improve is to sign big names on high wage contracts. Isn't that right, Newcastle?

haha, you should fire them
... Xhaka could easily be the next Schweinsteiger.edit: Looks like Napoli is interested in Tymo.
I almost feel sorry for him now. His ban's forced him to try and bait me into Twitter engagements, which he'll often turn into some convoluted argument that he'll subsequently lose. Or he'll confuse himself in the process.
That tweet's steeped in irony too.
Still sending those wonderfully soppy tweets to his gf?
Is there anything you'd particularly like me to shout if I recognise the knobhead ?
I've heard a similar reaction from the non Liverpool fans that I've spoke to. All seem to think that Sigurdsson isn't of a quality that'll push the club on up the table to where they aspire. I honestly didn't watch him too closely at Swansea, despite his goals, so I can't really speak about his general play. His scoring record was exceptional however, so I'd be happy if we signed him for the same price Swansea agreed.
I think we could stick Aquilani in his position and he'd do a better job, though. It's just a shame that he probably won't want to leave Italy.
I'd rather you pop your collar, tip your head, and find the exit. For your own sake.
It's pointless, we already know that Kermit's the self proclaimed best looking male on Football GAF.
Did he really say that?
he said a lot of true things about liverpool and their fans, that might be the source of the comment.
Yes, during the real picture month. He was probably just being his usual, banterific self though.
He seems to have flipped off the handle here, for no apparent reason. I fear he's had a drink.
I drunk Kermit would probably make more sense than a sober one.
Has he been harassing anyone else from footy gaf?

Who is he?

lol is his name actually Tim Schaefer? That would be pretty funny considering people said he looks like Jack Black.
