Not sure how Estern European nations view eachother these days (not all that well I assume) but Chiriches could be a good signing in a fanbase aspect.

Agreed. The former Yugoslavian nations are pumping out some incredible talents these days, and Serie A in particular seems to have quite the stranglehold on that talent. Would be a good area to generate interest in and as a result later down the line reap the benefits of recruitment.
 
Levy right now:

Reposting from another site but I would say Baldini would be more worthy of our excited praise

Holy fuck that is incredible.
 
I think we will sign Erikson. I think he will be an improvement. I don't know where there is in the team for Siggy. I like him and want him to do well, but I don't see him getting ahead of others in the squad to be honest.

Supersub - which will mean he'll have to worker harder to perfect his game and show that he might have more to offer, or try and fail, which will mean it's time for him to leave.

Liverpool might want him.....:baletroll:
 
Gylfi isn't in the same league as Eriksen (no pun intended). I'm not yet convinced about Holtby either. I think he's been lost in the flood somewhat with the quality of what's come in so far.

He has the mentality, determination, and skillset to carve himself a perfectly fine space in our squad. I'm not worried about Holtby at all, and I'm a huge fan of the guy. Siggy though, his prospects are hurting after today's pickups.
 
I'm fine with Eriksen at 11M. I think that is a good gamble, he is still very young.

As for Chicharito, I would love him. As mentioned previously... BUY EVERYONE.
 
3rd for me. ManUre haven't the quality, Citeh just proved they have yet to rectify their issues away to crap sides, and no doubt our players will be gunning to overtake Chelskeet. We won't beat 'em all, but the cards are in line to overtake at least one of them.

But they won the league 11 points clear and have the same team! I don't get how people are writing off Man Utd already. I could understand it a bit in pre-season but they've won convincingly early on in the season now.

Same reason I've said all along. Sure they have some great players, but overall they do not have the quality empirically that should correlate with their levels of success. What their players have had is a mentality of belief, belief that they're better than who're they're playing and that they will win. However, I believe a big part of that was Sir Alex Ferguson. They'll still do well of course, but they won't have that silverware winning mentality anymore. While I don't want to quite use the term "exposed," I think they'll falter a bit.
 
Lamela's natural position is behind the striker, Roma moved him out wide because totti plays in that hole.. We dont know how avb will utilise him but seeing how bale started on the left in most games but interchanged with Dempsey, and how lamela is being purchased to replace bale, we may see that happening with him too..

I agree they will drop a bit, but that far? Ferguson did choose Moyes and will still be there behind the scenes.

Their points total last season: 89 (champions), the season before 89 (second), before that 80 points (champions). Faltering a bit is what, dropping 10 points? That's still 7 points clear of our record points total last season.
