I just want to point out how you were all laughing at the rumours that we were going to buy Vardy for 15m this summer. But he would have been a steal for that price. I think we got some good deals, but some really poor ones as well. We should of maybe been targetting more experienced players with the right mentality instead of youngsters.

I rate Illori Highly. He played the double pivot with Jeison Murillo at Granada a few times including a game where they beat Barcelona 1-0. He and Murillo absolutely demolished Messi and Co that match.

Gilberto who do you think is better Traore or Johan Mojica?

He hasn't played a game in how long? He hasn't played as a CB in ever. He knows how to CB. He's just out of form and out of practice.

How did Sanchez play?

Juan Fernando Quintero is being eyed by Norwich. We should steal him.

I didn't know football teams could sign refs.

I've stated before he's a great player and good fit. Definetly think he'd do better than Austin.

IF we get him, Adebayor, and Charlie Austin we could escape relegation this season. But we're not. So we won't.

Well I think we are most definetly going down this season. Nonetheless if it were up to me. Eduardo Vargas: 5m Chicharito: 15m Guarin: 10m

I wanted him to go he deserves to further his career. I have a feeling he is making a mistake staying at a club unwilling to invest in the kind of team a player of his talents deserves playing next to him

Played well in Copa America. How do you rate the other young guy at the back, Arias. Think he plays for PSV? He's too good for Villa. He's probably on Manchester United level.

Jeison Murillo to Inter for £5.7m. Probably couldn't have found a better deal on a CB. Young. Talented. Gonna be world class in a year or 2. Very much like a young Thiago Silva or Lucio. We should of been in for him.

I was saying Praet earlier and my names wes too soooo

I'm wondering now that we're seriously bidding if Jose Izquierdo would be a realistic target.

I was thinking if we sell him we could bring in Muriel.

Sounds 10 times better than anyone we have cept maybe Sanchez.

I'd take 27m for him + Tiago Ilori.

How many defensive mids do we have now? is Sanchez leaving? edit: then again if sanchez stays a good double 5 line would be Gueye-Sanchez. Both speak french.

Honestly, Dzeko is leaving Manchester City. They are in a vulnerable position. My recommendation is we try a twofer package to them on Benteke and Delph for 60m. With that money we buy Denis Praet 8m Charlie Austin 12m Hakim Ziyech 10m Chicharito: 10m Jordy Clasie 15m Djibril Sidibe 5m Lewis Dunk 5m David Ospina 5m

We were never gonna buy Bacca.

I just want to **** point out I said Ospina is available but everyone told me Guzan was better. Feck off.

Deportivo La Coruna are interested in signing him as are Malaga.

When Carlos Sanchez plays for Colombia he plays in a way that's kind of different from most DM's in modern play. He's a anchor man. Back 8-10 years ago they had more DM's that played that way. Makelele for example. But they've been retraining and changing DM's positions a lot because the game has become much more offensive and less defensive. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63WojjZy7QE See video on this position role. He sits in the hole between the two central defenders. A couple yards up. His game is to mark the opposing teams #10 out of the match and break up play in the center part of last third of the pitch. He intercepts and opens up to the wingbacks who bomb down the side of the pitch to search for holes in the opposing defense. Often when Colombia's on offense he'll sit back as a second center back as a more attack minded CB rushes forward through the middle of the field in a Sergio Ramos type role. Now it's changed. Most Modern DM's aren't even called DM's anymore. They're called holding midfielders. Their role is to hold up the ball and provide mobility. To assist the CM in controlling the tempo of the match. It's a completely different goal. A completely different role. They are a lot more offensive. A lot more mobile. They have to be much better passers and much better creative players. They almost function as a Regista. This in general has to do with the evolution of football. It's no longer a game with defensive groups and offensive groups. It's total football, and not in the style that the dutch popularized it. In modernity it mean every player on the pitch is attacking when the team attacks, and every player on the pitch is defending when the team defends. I'm thinking he wasn't given a clear role by the coach. I do think he would do much better in a more tactical league like the Italian one that still values technical defenders.
