The Summer transfer rumor thread

[Godzke]

Chelsea may play a 4-3-3 like...

Cech
Bosingwa Terry Alex Cole
Ballack Essien Zhirkov
Lampard Drogba Malouda

Bench: Turnbull, Ivanovic, Belletti, Obi Mikel, Anelka, J.Cole, Sturridge

With Shevchenko, Kalou, Deco, Mancienne in reserve. Will romp it home. 10+ point victory I think

Lampard out wide on the right? wtf! he's a CM above all else, or a second striker behind Drogba when Chelsea choose not to park the bus.

No one comes near Lampard/Essien.

That's because they're so far behind the #1 CM pairing.

Hopefully Arsenal don't land Huntelaar... if they do, they might actually improve with a world class striker.

i reckon huntelaar could really take off as a world class player if he does join. Having said that, their problems like in the back half of the field ... not so much up forward.

haha. those two together would be shit.

they need a third 'guy' because they're such women.

Inherent quality in most spanish midfielders. But their technique and ability speaks for itself.

I wouldn't call either a diver, but Iniesta when he does get tackled goes to ground pretty easily.

You'd need a third guy to hold up the midfield, i agree.

 

[AG]

I was talking EPL midfield partnerships not bloody Barca. Xavi and Iniesta together don't have the talent Essien does on his own.

 

[Godzke]

^ lol!

I think the Gunners will have to replace Adebayor...he was pretty useless last season but I'm not sure Bendtner has the talent to play a whole season up front for us. Huntelaar would be a steal for anything under 20m, go for it.

Eduardo is useful next season and is a better player so nothing really changes. Adebayor was hardly better than Bendtner at all.

 

[lewdogs]

Eduardo could be stellar next year, but I just don't think we can rely on him playing the whole season..look where that got us with Rosicky. We do have a lot of great forwards, I just think we are short of a world class striker (if you look at the other top teams they all have one).

 

[Kompany]

Eto'o has been told not to show up for the first week of training. Pretty full on imo - shows we really want to sell him.

According to Marca Arsenal will make an offer if Adebayor moves to City.

 

[superfreak]

Adebayor offered to United???

Apparantly wage demands have stalled talks so his agent is hawking him around...

Also interesting about Lescott heading to City. Would have thought Arsenal would have made him their #1 target.

 

[Primetime Pricey]

Interesting. Not sure if he would be good within the lockeroom but you cant deny he can play.
Strike force would be pretty good after that

All you have is Rooney. The others are lazy money hungry flogs.

very harsh on Mr Wellbeck and Macheda

If they played to their capabilities on a regular basis Berbatov and Adebayor would be very handy.

I doubt Adebayor would come to OT anyways since Fergie has stopped his spending for the summer.......

How did I forget Macheda!! That's why Berba and Ade our so frustrating, they pick and choose when to pull their finger out. It's a waste of talent.

Maybe United have been reading his brochure as well

Well it did work for Owen, quick can someoone knock up a borchure for Joey Barton and get it to Old Trafford?

How many players can we say that about though? its crazy.

I just wish it was week 1 already so we can stop all the gossip and get down to the real stuff.

 

[Hawthorn United]

I know we were interested in him several seasons ago. Can't remember which but he obviously wasn't for sale then.

Ryan Babel's available. The cut price fee of 15m

 

[Pie Legend]

Would a Berba - Ade partnership work?

Throw Rooney in there as well, starts to get crowded.
