Depends more on how Tottenham and Arsenal do for me, i think the top 3 will comprise of City, Man Yoo and Chelsea. If we strengthen with the players mooted, i wouldn't totally rule out 4th place. Although it's still a tough task.

I love Zlatan, i need to get my hands on his book i bet it's full of gold.

Nah it's just a premface being a premface.

Holy s*** mate, we get that you dont like/want Carroll. Every f***ing thread I go into. Sorry mate, this is pissing me off more than selling any player could do. I'll stop now

If we buy him, i'm going to blame him for everything. Regardless if he plays or not. FFS Have we not learned anything about how we reacted when Pardew was announced manager. I don't want him back, there's too much romanticism going around. There's no logical reason to pay anymore than 6m for him. There's no reason to pay so much money for such a limited player who does not fit our recent policy of buying. I really don't understand it, why cant we just continue buying technically good players, with good movement and versatile. Plus Pardew costed the club nothing, 16m is around 10m more than we should pay in fact we shouldn't even be tracking him ffs. I really really hope we don't sign him.

Agreed lol.

Nah he isn't, but i'd much rather us spend 10m on Moses than 16m on Carroll ffs.

It's all relative, it's a concept that most don't want to understand. No, it shows what complete clown you are. If them 2 are s*** then just about every striker in the world is. No, they're s*** in the way that they've overhyped, they're still obviously good players. Eto'o is probably a little better than my opinion, because I really dislike him, but Benzema is certainly no superstar, although people are starting to understand that now. Benzema's form this season was one of the key reasons for Real winning the league No, no it wasn't. Aye, his 21 goals and 7 assists and creating numerous more chances in 34 games were all irrelevant to Madrid's success.

So is Carroll tbh.

Less 25% which is our reported sell on clause with them for AC, less whatever they have left owing to us (they only "only" !! paid £30 Mill up front) say £3Mill, so £16 Mill = £9Mill Still too much.

Carroll is shit, Shearer was world class. quite a difference.

Even 10 is too high IMO the only reason it looks good because Liverpool take a 25m loss on him, in reality he isn't worth that much.

I think people are frustrated because Sky jumped the gun and claimed we practically sealed the deal which doesn't seem to be the case.

Probably because Moses actually fits the profile of recent signings unlike Carroll.

And where do you see HBA, our most skilfull player in the front 3 fitting into all this? You alluded to the point yourself, if Carroll is going to be on the bench for the trio of Cisse, Ba and HBA, then I've got no problem. But should we be paying in excess of 15M for what is in principal a sub player (regardless of the oh we have so many games because we're in Europe argument)? That's not even getting into the point that we can get better options fom Europe for 15M. No I don't have the names for you because I've not spoken to Car yet but given our previous record nd the inflated price of Enlish players, it's not unreasonable to suggest that we can do better for 15M Hell we got Cisse for 8m

Reflect's his management style, everything about him is predictable.

Regular as clockwork. Richardson wants out so expect Stephen Warnock to be a Sunderland player come next season. Was reading RTG earlier and a few of them mentioned Warnock coming in

Yeah, i'd just like the whole team not to go missing during January lol. Quality wise it would be a no brainer of course.

Ayew is another one i was going to mention, he can play as a CM too. French media linked us with him before his injury as well. AFCON is a massive downside though

If i was a betting man( and I am), i'd guess it would be more something like this. Cech Ivanovic Luiz Terry Cole Lampard Mikel Oscar Hazard Mata Torres Christmas tree system basically, while Oscar is young he has maturity beyond his years so i don't think lack of top level experience apart from Brazil national team performances will be an issue. And in doubt they will spend 25m on someone to bench him, especially when their midfield lacks creativity and mobility.
