Khedira want to stay in Real Madrid now.
I can never make sense of his Ba love in.
Di Maria should stay because we need that depth when we're in for so many trophies. Just raise his salary and keep him happy. Morata is done, Khedira could leave but it's not going to be a big loss for Madrid, there are good players to replace him and he's not even among the best in the squad anyway. Benz won't be up to the job, not when you consider the ratio of goals scored to balls received for him. He looks good because we have players like Ronaldo, Bale and Di Maria assisting him. If we didn't have them where would that put Benz? He's decent and a good backup but I really think we need someone better in that position. We've used ADM in the middle last season and if we stick with 4-3-3 I don't see why we couldn't try using him there again. I would want James just to replace Benz but it's still too early and as mentioned price is insane. If we can survive on Benz and Di Maria the first half of the season we'll have Jese recovered, hopefully he can find the same form we had last season.
Regarding Casillas we should be fair. He mostly did fine in CL but did some big mistakes, but we wouldn't know how he'd perform if he played every week. Just based on current form of our GKs I'd stick with Navas and Lopez though.
I'd love to see Isco flourish in Madrid but let's admit that Ancelotti's plans on using him out of position hasn't done good things. Perhaps a loan to Milan would be good since they were interested?
Sandro is our only player with an actual personality. I don't like losing characters from the squad, they might not have been amazing but Parker, Gallas, Dempsey, they had passion and guts and never lost a game 6-0. Too many of our current players are soft and bland like Paulinho and Chadli. Sandro is a fighter and they are the players we should be keeping.
They will also sign Tiago who was also at Atletico last season.

"Lots of players are really impressed by what we are doing as a club and really excited about coming to Manchester United Liverpool," says David Moyes Brendan Rodgers.
The entire Atletico squad.
Not until next Summer.
Edit, Although knowing the Burnley board, I wouldn't be suprised if they sold him now. Effectively relegating us before the season starts lol

I wonder what Atletico's players will be like when they're not playing under Simeone any more.
There's actually rumors of us selling Isco, probably with a buy-back, but I don't put much in those reports yet.
Also have in mind, Perez is a business man, and have warned a Özil-like sale, and Di María fits this bill. He could be sold to finance James. I actually believe James is already a done deal, if not close to it.
Casemiro have also gone on loan to FC Porto who have a buy option on him, while we have a buy-back clause until 2017.
Khedira want to stay with the arrival of Kroos but let's see.
I think we'll have these for next season:
Isco, James, Kroos, Xabi Alonso, Illarramendi, Modric for 3 spots. Maybe Khedira, he's a bit up in the air at the moment.
I also believe Benzema have to start next season. He is instrumental, just like Marcelo, Cristiano, Bale and Modric. We need him. He is the perfect striker for our team. James could be back up for the fake-9 position and also play in midfield or on the wing if we go 4-3-3.

Cunts, like they were before and now as well.
Oh Casemiro deal with Porto already went through? I liked him but there's so much compeition in the team that I think this is better for him. I'm surprised no other La Liga team went for him but Porto is probably a better choice than most of them.
I heard Sanchez chose Arsenal because they offered £1 more.
Aha you're trying way too hard.
That ship has sailed my friend.
It's now in the air.
With cannons.

There is no battleship (team) without an engine (Suarez) driving it forward (winning football games).
I also like Casemiro but yeah, we are filled. Porto is a great choice though, so let's see how he develops.

Neymar-Kagawa-Pepe
-------Sandro-Diaby

-----------Mannone
Football Gaf's "if only they had the chance" first XI
I include Mannone for when he gets benched by Pantilmon
edit: just realised that Neymar has a shit ton of chances, so I guess we could also call it neogaf's overrated by fan XI

Confirmed 18M€ for Morata, good business.

There were alot of good Nigerian players who didn't make the World Cup squad for whatever reason. Ikechukwu Uche is our best player but was left home. The AFCON winning squad had more quality and Brown Ideye was part of that. Missed a sitter in the final though, lol.
I have no idea if £10m will prove to be worth it, but hopefully it does. He was a hit in France for Sochaux but then moved to Ukraine, i.e. fell off the map. As a player he's cut from the same cloth as Odemwingie in that he can play both flanks and up top. Similar sort of physique and just as athletic.

So he can stay and look at the trophy cabinet on his multitudinous days off?

That's how many games he's gonna play for us next season.

Despite his recent injury problems I think it would be a mistake to sell
Sandro smashing the ball into the top corner whilst De Gea stands in awe and Cleverley bows at his feet is basically the defining image of the third millenium

I just don't know who we are in for anymore.
After all this and we end up buying Javi? That would be awesome.
You have got an incredibly easy fixture list at the beginning of the season so you can basically go up to the last day with no bother.
Give LVG a bit of time to assess the situation.
Don't think the 3/4 weeks quote was accurate but he will want to have a look.

Also lots of players are really impressed by what Liverpool are doing as a club and are really excited about going to Liverpool.

pls we will not give you £14m
We have spent <£5m net in each of the last 3 summers - so this transfer alone would triple that and we need another 5 players.
Here's this player we don't want and loaned to you for a season. We naturally expect you to pay more for him than we paid.

Meh.
The engine of Brendan's battleship has always been Henderson.
