Probably Jonas Olsson. Cock.
Any more word on Steven Fletcher?
We'll take him.
So would I.
Kagawa was a given, but I have been seriously impressed by Lingard. He moves into spaces makes decision very fast and is comfortable with the tick tack of an intricate final move in th final third. In Tunnicliffe, it seems that we have found a new fletcher.
What's a fair price for Sturridge? If Allen is worth near £15 to Swans, then Danny has to be in the £12-13 range not including the Englishman up charge tax.
Once the doctor talk started up last week it was only a matter of time. God only knows what the actual fee is going to end up being.....

I can't see this happening, Pienaar seemed to be very happy at Everton, though that may be due to actually getting first team football. Then again, every player has his price.
At least 15 million. Dat English tax.
I thought De Bruyne looked decent against PSG the other day - even so, Wolfsburg (is it?) is a decent loan move for him. Lukaku I hope stays in the PL and gets a lot of games; the lad is an exceptional talent.
I can only imagine that means we're looking to sign a striker - with Lukaku going that leaves Torres as the only out and out number 9 (unless Sturridge is the option through the middle) with Piazon as another, though he might be considered too young by some.
Oscar looks like a wonderful footballer though!

Well he's better than Carroll so...£35million+
Chelsea don't have near as much leverage as Swansea to jack up the price. With his contract nearly up there's no way you'd get £15 million, plus he's not a regular starter. £12s fair, probably. Allen's not really worth £15 million either, hope we either negotiate down the price, one way or another, or move onto another target. Saying that, it seems Rodgers has clearly identified him as a key part of our team going forwards.
£12 to 13 million seems fair. Sturridge really looks like he has a lot more to give.
If our signings this summer were Borini, Allen, Dempsey and Sturridge, I would be extremely happy with that.
Chelsea need another striker though, regardless of what Sturridge does. Nando will definitely need cover.

Got to love Jackie Chan. But why use the old home shirt lol?!
Marketing disaster. It's cause I'm not there.
JC really needs the money huh?
Drake is the biggest whore when it comes to getting pics took with other clubs clobber on.
City, United & Chelsea that I've seen.
Parasitic football agents don't help either.

Bittencourt looks pretty good.
Thanks to Cottbus he's half German and was raised here, otherwise we would be talking about some 20m Brazilian lol
Günter looks alright, too. Too bad his player agent is the same one that made Sahin leave. I just hope we'll get him to sign some long contract before he gets big enough for his agent to fuck things up again.
And Lewandowski is just awesome. That Swiss defender slightly injured himself by trying to take the ball off Lewandowski

The sticking point with your samba is that I don't think he wants to move - yet. The money is certainly right, and Jevuncio is clearly running his mouth to draw larger bids. I don't think the kid wants leave though. Maybe him and Neymar, together, next summer make the move.
Yeah Lingard's a very intelligent player by the looks of it. Didn't notice Tunnicliffe too much but wasn't keeping both eyes on the match. We badly need a new Fletch though.

Go fuck yourself Steven Reid, seems like what he's training today is injuring players.
Chelsea are putting together a pretty frightening attack force. I can't even imagine what it'll be like if they still manage to add Hulk and/or Cavani.
City need to do everything in their power to add De Rossi, Javi Martinez and Yann M'Vila. We really are fine from an attacking standpoint, but we need to tighten up the defense.

All three?! Think that's slightly OTT, even for city.
De Jong likely on his way out and Mancini prefers Martinez as a CB according to the media (the next Vinnie perhaps). I'd start De Rossi in place of Barry and then bring on M'Vila/Barry as a sub for one of our attacking mids to allow Yaya to get forward.
I like to think of it as two Carroll's.
Seriously, considering the money that we've pissed away over the years, I think we've done really, really well considering the return and the current market.
I can understand why the Glazers want to get the IPO underway asap. We need on field success to generate revenue because otherwise we're restricted by our indebtedness.
There is now the very realistic chance that Chelsea and City could pull away from the rest of the pack and leave us in third place, Thats not a place that we can afford to be imo.

Hazard & Marin look top quality from what I've seen. Not sure about Oscar having hardly seen him but he seems to be highly rated by many. Chelsea seem to be getting business done this summer, No dicking around. I expect the CL win will have helped many players make their decision. I just wonder how they'll go for next.
Definitely. You've bought a couple of world class players and plenty of squad players with that cash. It must be great to be able to just hoard players.

A defender and Hulk will make Chelsea fucking ridonkulous.
We're not going to be left behind, Chelsea with their signings are catching up.

Reus is coming in soon <3
I've been avoiding the thread because I'm not going to be able to try the demo for a few more days. Just no free time after I leave the office this week. Happy to hear the impressions are positive though.
Konami in London just listed a ton of open positions too. So the UK team for PES is growing.

Probably more than £75m when you factor in all the agent fees. I'm not sure who's choosing them but they've bought fantastic players. Josh McEachran can say goodbye to his future though.
That statement was just lip service and something every older brother says. At Thorgan's age, Eden was already a budding superstar. Not to say he won't become very good, but I wouldn't take Eden's statement of Thorgan being better than him at face value.
Thorgan was a 4* wonderkid in FM 2011, FWIW.

Here we fucking go
Oh my, Gündogan and Reus magic looks fantastic already.
Edit: Reus almost scored a header, this is great.

They have a dodgy oligarch in charge. Still didn't stop them finishing 6th under a manager not good enough for West Brom.
They've signed good players but we will see how quickly the adapt to the PL. I can think of plenty of wunderkinds from Ligue 1 and the Brazilian league who have flopped.
And if they they continue to spend, we'll be left behind.
We need to be successful to raise money but we need money to be successful.
