Our main newspapers are saying Sporting will buy Marcos Acuña for around 11 million euros. Any info on him @IFC 1905?
Thanks! Hopefully the rumours turn realityI like him. He's been playing for the national team. I wouldn't say he's a great, great player but he has a lot of sacrifice in his game, and that's appreciated. I think he's one of those players you wanna have in your squad. He's great defensively, and not that bad ofensively.
Yesterday he scored a goal in a crucial game for his club. And you can see he has some quality as he shoots with a good technique and trying to put the ball exactly as he did.
He's Swansea's most valuable asset. I don't think we should splash £30-35m on him. Mata is better anyways.Gylfi anyone??
Scores a decent amount of goals and he is a quality set-piece taker.
I know he isn't in the World class bracket, but i doubt we will find one who is and we could really use a goalscoring AM behind the striker.
I think a window of Lindelöf, Perisic, Morata and a DM would be decent enough and would definitely

That left hand side looks better with Shaw and Martial there imho.
I couldn't disagree more these guys would improve us a lot.the players we are strongly linked with aren't good. Morata, perisic, matic aren't the type of players to improve us
Going to be another massively disappointing season if those are the only 3 players we bring in (along with lindaloff)
How many times did you see Martial delivering an accurate cross?That left hand side looks better with Shaw and Martial there imho.
Morata realistically needs to score 25+ goals and hot zlatans figures he managed I can't see that.I couldn't disagree more these guys would improve us a lot.
Both wings look weak to me. Neither of them will offer us any genuine width. Matic was fantastic when Chelsea resigned him but he lost his way in their 2nd season, i'm not sure what version of Matic we'd be getting, so jury will be out on him. Not seen enough of Lindelof to comment. Morata won't bring in Zlatans goals, so we'll be needing Rashford, Mkhi and Pogba to step up. I'd throw Hererra in with that group but he's useless at shooting.
A bit of both I think.Is the transfer business going really slowly this year, or are we becoming more impatient/obsessed?
He doesn't. In 2006/07, Ronaldo was our top scorer with 17 goals, followed by Rooney with 14 and Saha with 8. We scored 83 goals that season. There's a good chance we could see a similar return next season. I don't think it's unlikely that Pogba, Mkhitaryan and Martial are going to score more next season. If we bring in another attacking midfielder or winger, we could add more goals from elsewhere. Nainggolan or James could provide quite a few as well.Morata realistically needs to score 25+ goals and hot zlatans figures he managed I can't see that.
Matic isn't the player he was a few years ago which is why Chelsea are happy to sell him to a rival
Perisic I like but he really needs to step up too and get double goals and assists
Morata will give us mobility and goals up top. He should be able to compliment our wide players better. Matic is much better than Carrick nowadays giving us stability and continuity in our play. Lindelof hopefully turns out to be at the same level as Bailley. We will be a better team imo.Morata realistically needs to score 25+ goals and hot zlatans figures he managed I can't see that.

Just need a winger who will score 17 then!He doesn't. In 2006/07, Ronaldo was our top scorer with 17 goals, followed by Rooney with 14 and Saha with 8. We scored 83 goals that season. There's a good chance we could see a similar return next season. I don't think it's unlikely that Pogba, Mkhitaryan and Martial are going to score more next season.

No, let's say Morata scores 18, our new signings score 8 (Nainggolan for example) and 5 goals (Lemar), Pogba increases his goal tally from 5 to 9 (which isn't unreasonable, if he play in a midfield 3 with Nainggolan and Herrera), Mkhitaryan improves from 4 to 7 and Martial improves from 4 to 8, that's 55 goals and without Mata, Lingard, Herrera, Rashford and Pereira/Fellaini. Is that looking at things too kindly? Probably, and most likely not everybody will improve their goal tally, at the same time, I don't think it's possible that we will be as unlucky as last season.Just need a winger who will score 17 then!
We've got a couple of weeks before we (and other teams) go on summer tour. If we don't get it done before then things tend to be put on hold and we're looking at deadline day type territory.We're not even in July yet so no need to panic over lack of signings we've made. All our rivals are quiet at the moment too.
Or even Mata on the right and Mkhitaryan on the left. That´s why I think an LB is a greater need than winger, since the first choice XI looks pretty good with either Mata or Martial starting opposite Mkhitaryan.That left hand side looks better with Shaw and Martial there imho.
Isn't that how many Martial scored in his first season for us but seriously I can't see us repeating that. We need a 20+ goal striker.Just need a winger who will score 17 then!
We had one of those last season - that wasn't the problem, it was the players behind him that weren't good enough.Isn't that how many Martial scored in his first season for us but seriously I can't see us repeating that. We need a 20+ goal striker.
No one seems to be significantly more active than we are.Hopefully we are going about our business very quietly. We finished 6th and all the teams above us seem a bit more active than us at the moment.
City/Liverpool have signed a couple and city seemed to be linked to everyone. Not worried yet but we need a lot of strengthening and it all seems a bit quiet.No one seems to be significantly more active than we are.
Yeah agreeOr even Mata on the right and Mkhitaryan on the left. That´s why I think an LB is a greater need than winger, since the first choice XI looks pretty good with either Mata or Martial starting opposite Mkhitaryan.
Think all major clubs need strengthening this summer. You have to give City credit for coming out the blocks and signing Ederson and Silva but they have gone quiet since then. City like us get linked with everyone.City/Liverpool have signed a couple and city seemed to be linked to everyone. Not worried yet but we need a lot of strengthening and it all seems a bit quiet.
