The only question with Real is, will it be Suarez or Aguero they go after in the summer? they still lack a quality striker atm

They wont get either. No chance.

They should probably have moved for Lewandowski.

If Liverpool don't make the top 4 they've got the best chance of getting Suarez

[scspkr99]

In the last two decades counting this one, juventus and liverpool have stood out as clubs that throw their money away no doubt.

I think this is probably fair we've spent the most for the poorest reward

Walcott injury might just force Wenger into a signing in January. A lot of talk about Costa and Draxler, more likely to be Berbatov...

The Ox has got fit just at the 'perfect' moment though.... bit of shuffling and you could easily see Wenger backing off again. I'm not holding out too much hope for signings tbh.

You mean diego costa? Arsenal dont have money to buy him

He has a buy out clause in the 30 millions. There's no chance of it happening though, Atletico are flying at the moment

[DJoe]

im sure they will w\it till the world cup anyway

[hubb]

No, it's completely unrealistic in my oppinion to assume that after having shown the level he has recently, would jeopardize that by trying to settle in a new and troubled club like real where you already have Bale and Ronaldo that both prefer his playing position. And it would be silly of Real to go for another topclass player that has to play that leftwing position. Bale has been struggling with playing on the right there already and its definitely not the best fit. If you notice it in reals games they only play ronaldo in the feet and play long balls to bale in transition. But then again there are a few hopeless idiots behind the boards in real so who knows

At no point during my post did I mean Diego Costa.

I think that requires Real Madrid show a strategy in the transfer market they haven't displayed previously. He's in the best 5 (arguably 3) players in the world atm and so is definitely on RM's radar.

He would be a replacement for Benzema..

I edited my post a bit. I think we agree. scspkr99


No. you can't expect Suarez to be able to keep a similar level playing upfront if you have those two on the flanks. He has to use the left to cut in and Ronaldo wouldn't have it.

[hubb]

You saw a similar thing happening with Zlatan and Messi at barca. A few players get more than a say, and Bale must have been told what to expect.

To me it's silly, they should just play Ronaldo on top and have Di Maria play right and Bale left. But it hasn't happened once.

don't actually need cover for walcotts position (Gnabry, Ox), just need cover for the position he was covering....
out of any big players, Martinez has to be possible after him coming out and bigging up arsenal specifically a couple of days ago. He's got a release clause of £34 million too

[DJoe]

the metro report a lot of shit.

[hubb]

Yeah. Personally I think they are much better without relying on walcott and go for possession with Øzil playing there and either Rosicky or Cazorla playing the central offensive midfield position where Øzil probably prefers to play.

[murky21]

the metro report a lot of shit.

all the report is doing is quoting Jackson Martinez saying he'd love to play for arsenal, pretty much as Jan window opened. Multiple national newspapers reported it

[hubb]

You can't go wrong with buying portos best strikers

[Forum]

Isn't he 28? A lot of money for someone that old. Pretty sure he's off to Chelsea anyway

[hubb]

True. But he is quite a monster.

Sorry sir, i wont quote you unnecesarely anymore.

[DiegoSapiens]

Nice to watch that classic Portugal Korea in everton with Eusebio killing it, what a beast!

Falcao.

Suspect he only went to Monaco cause At.Madrid wouldn't accept a bid from their rivals. If I remember correctly they reported they'd have to sell him not long after signing him because they couldn't afford to pay his wages, probably something to do with the ridiculous tax rate... plus it'd explain why one of the best strikers in the world moved to a newly promoted French team other than money, he could have got money at any of the big clubs.
