Just realised the transfer window opens today on my birthday, couldn't ask for anything more.
g = window.googletag || {}; googletag.cmd = googletag.cmd || []; window.googletag = googletag; googletag.cmd.push(function() { var interstitialSlot = googletag.defineOutOfPageSlot('/17085479/redcafe_gam_interstitial', googletag.enums.OutOfPageFormat.INTERSTITIAL); if (interstitialSlot) { interstitialSlot.addService(googletag.pubads()); } });
Happy birthday. Mine was yesterday.Just realised the transfer window opens today on my birthday, couldn't ask for anything more.
Record newspaper in Portugal.Where are these Jose quotes coming from? Is there an interview anyone can link to?
You're missing the point. There is no shortcut to team experience. Kompany, Silva and Aguero are that good for City because they've spent their prime there and know everything about the club and love the club. We had that with Rio, Carrick, Vidic, Giggs in the recent past. You can't buy that experience and passion for the club.So it’s okay for Man City to have top players over the age of 28 but we should only make use of the likes of Rooney and Young. We should not be signing players like Sanchez and Matic. Got it.
If we had quality players like Aguero maybe we wouldn’t have to buy older players with guaranteed quality. People want us to chase this City team down but dismiss that it’s not a level playing field.
Thanks.Record newspaper in Portugal.
What do we have now? Young and Valencia? Not good enough. We need quality players NOW, so we have acquired Matic and Sanchez. Rio, Giggs and Carrick are gone. People need to accept that. Fergie’s last year was the end of that era and the two managers before Mourinho destroyed this squad. Now we are playing catch up.You're missing the point. There is no shortcut to team experience.

That was my first thoughtIt better not be John Terry.
We'll be playing catch up for a very long time if we spend our transfer money on old players with their best years behind them.What do we have now? Young and Valencia? Not good enough.

And there it is. The transfer season has officially begun.
Quoted you in another thread.We'll be playing catch up for a very long time if we spend our transfer money on old players with their best years behind them.
We already have Pogba, Herrera, Lukaku, DDG, Smalling all of who will be a year more experienced next season. Anyway, we can take this to another thread if we are still adamant in trying to win this internet argument.
Great news! I read some articles about him, he comes across like a humble guy with good personality and strong character. Im not sure how much of their good news can be atributed to adrenaline rush and the fact Pardiola left but Moor's team looked well drilled.Tweet

I don't follow Atletico that much and remember him more of his time in Italy, I agree. He's very good and one hell of a crosser. Almost effortlessly consistently putting decent first time cross in the box. Tactical disciplined. Unlikely for it to happen though. It's not like Atletico has replacement for himHe's really good IMO. I watch Atletico every week.
Can't see it happening though and especially at that fee.
He is. Average in defence, bad in attack.Vrsaljko always looks pretty average to me
Wish Srna is younger, what a class act that guy is.He is. Average in defence, bad in attack.
Leicester are linked.still waiting for us to be linked with Ricardo Pereira
So underrated full back.Wish Srna is younger, what a class act that guy is.
Brilliant playerWish Srna is younger, what a class act that guy is.
He has 8 years remaining on his contract with a 150m release clause.Would rather go with Saul.

He'll end up at Everton IMO.Hope we stay well clear, Dutch posters are not impressed by him and believes he would do a Depay.
Just in case anyone was worried we hadn't had our yearly saga!

If not Ajax, he should be playing in France or Germany.If not us then it'll be Everton.
He is good in defence, wouldn't play for Atletico if he isn't. But, yeah, not impressive at all in the attack.He is. Average in defence, bad in attack.
Hadn't thought of that. Don't know why, but I quite like the idea.It better not be Terry.
After the issues with Rio and Anton, it would be very stupid from the clubHadn't thought of that. Don't know why, but I quite like the idea.

True, I dont think he has it in him. But then again, young talents are really unpredictable so who knows how his career will go.Hope we stay well clear, Dutch posters are not impressed by him and believes he would do a Depay.
