SEMTEX Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 When Mou went to Chelsea, he was all about having his 23 man squad, full of quality. This is what I don't get about the Madrid signings. Has he just given up on this mentality? Chelsea's squad was absolutely bloated towards the end of his reign. I can't say I really recall what it was like personally. But there certainly were a lot of Boulahrouzeses. So he's basically just shit at his own mentality. Stupid Jose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Given that he was anything but spectacular last season I'd say around £30m is fair for Fabregas. This, I would not even include Thiago in the deal, that would make it a £42m transfer, that would have been a bullshit deal which i never believe Barca would agree on. Oh, we have agreed to a lot of bullshit deals in the past. As you should know mattis, Inter must've been laughing their tits off when they got the Zlatan/Eto'o fax through before the 'we reluctantly accept' one back.

Gash Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Given that he was anything but spectacular last season I'd say around £30m is fair for Fabregas. He also looked more bothered about getting his whinge on (even for him) than playing a lot of the time which suggests to me he wasn't fully there. Thing is, not disagreeing, but last season he was injured a lot and never really got into his stride, I'm hoping that with a summer off he'll come back next year and have a really good year then he can go. Just need to keep as much stability as possible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 GK - Casillas, whoever RB - Ramos, Altintop LB - Marcelo, Arbeloa CB - Dicky, Pepe, Albiol, Garay DMs - Diarra, Khedira, Gago, Alonso AMs - Sahin, Ozil, Kaka, Canales, Di Maria, Canales, Leon, Callejon FWs - Ronaldo, Higuain, Benzema Seems pretty balanced to me apart from maybe another FB.

ponsaelius Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 So has Altintop been signed as fullback then? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 No idea but he can cover there and it would sort of make sense as Mou likes his adventurous FBs with the two holders in midfield covering. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdckelly Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 MOgdenTelegraph Mark Ogden by NUFCThreatLevel Bebe loan to Besiktas has option to buy for £2m. So a loss of £5.4m then. Unless he comes back..... #mufc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 something fishy about it. That's my feeling, just didn't make sense like Aquallani (or whatever the fuck he is called) signing for Liverpool.

Guest PhilB Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 something fishy about it. That's my feeling, just didn't make sense like Aquallani (or whatever the f*** he is called) signing for Liverpool. Never seen the lad play but EVERYONE was saying it was a shocking signing for the price due to his injury record then surprise, surprise... [/quote Aquilani was signed because our manager was told he had to deal with the two clubs who owed us money, Roma and Portsmouth. We needed a mid fielder to replace Alonso and Roma were willing to accept 5 million down payment. He was expected to be fit again a few weeks in to the season, he wasn't, but when he was finally fit he showed touches of class that made lots of fans look forward to seeing him in the new season. Alas, Hodgson didn't want a flair player and sent him out on loan as soon as he could. I'd have him back, but unfortunately he wants to stay in Italy.

Cajun Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Hadn't he previously never played more than 20 games a season in his career? Plus you have Jordan 'Does something, apparently' Henderson so would you need him back anyway? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 No but 49 games in 4 seasons with the last season ending his club scrapping against relegation is hardly a glowing testament either. Flopped at Sevilla too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
