The winningest of winning players?
He was also a great hairdresser...
We’ve played against all of those players with in the last year or so I think mate. You would recognise them if u saw them lining up against us.
Your just getting on a bit me old mucker
Aturo Vidal - Played for Juventus, Bayern and now at Barca. Won it all. Been told he can leave Barca. All round midfielder. Animal.
Nemanja Matic - Man Utd, played for Chelsea and Benfica. Won the league, Europa League and FA Cup. Not as good as he once was, but better than the current CDM options we have. Very close with Mourinho.
Blaise Matuidi - CDM for Juventus, previously PSG. Won it all other than CL. French national team, friends with Lloris. Out of contract in the summer.
They are all the wrong side of 30, but all are experienced and would improve us.
I wish I had the confidence to rock that mohawk. Every 8 year olds dream haircut.
Experience is what we need at the moment. Players that can come in a do a job.
At this point I’d probably be ok even with Matic as short term option 
And that says a lot as I think Matic is fucking shit.

I thought that was his natural position? I know he’s played more advanced for France nationally though. Would you say he’s more a CAM?
Don’ worry. I struggle to remember my kids‘ names, let alone some wazzock that won the title with the <removed>s.

I said that a few days back, but having watched him against Wolves, honestly, it’s just false economy. We waste 15 million.
I’d rather see us buy nobody than another budget stop gap.
Moura is inconsistent but at least he scores for us unlike some.
This is about the shortest of short term fixes. We need planning and an acceptance of the worst case scenario which is we will not get top 4 - but that was baked into the cake in the summer. Wasting time or money on any of these codgers would be a massive mistake. Yes, they may help 'improve' what we are presently (ie from total shit to just shit) but it will still be shit. We could buy all 3 and we would still not improve to the point that top 4 would be likely. This would be a desperate move.
Plan, scout, make some moves for younger players and get rid of the deadwood should be the plan. And we should avoid bringing in rotting wood like these 3 or giving contracts to players that have shown they are not good enough or past it.
Mate, we cannot afford to slip too much
If that means an element of short term fix so be it.
If not we will end up paying top dollar for all players because we will be seen as desperate.
And worse allow the few nuggets we still have questioning their futures.
The worst case scenario to build from next season in terms of league position is around 7th or 8th.
The important thing is that you remember how many you have. You don't want anyone trying to pawn one off on you.
He is very versatile. He is a CM, but he is outstanding defensively so he could play that role.
Not really - wouldn't compare him stylistically to Dembele but he is pretty much box to box, solid defensively but probably wouldn't be best utilised as a DM, like Dembele wasn't.
Mate we've been here a million times before saying exactly that same thing. I'm just feeling fed up I guess.
You keep saying that, but if we hadn't had such a disastrous start to the season, we would be right in contention for a top 4 spot.
