It's not like we've done a wonderful job of it. We'll be f***ed next year unless some of our academy prospects make it.

 

'f***ed'

 

:yao:

 

Aye, how will you cope with only Messi, Neymar and Suarez to choose from up front for 18 months?

 

Our starting XI looks great and for the most part they should be allright for 2015 too - Alves notwithstanding. But we don't have much depth. This weekend we started a kid that one year ago wasn't even playing professional football.

 

The problem is that we can't "stock up" as Dave said - by signing twice the players now - without ruling afoul of FFP rules for this season - don't laugh, that's what our board has said. So we don't really have a large squad right now. That of course, calls into question spunking 80m in a single forward, but hey, it's us.

 

Do you still have Shaqiri and Affelay and fellas like that?

We've never had Shaqiri (I wish). Afellay's at Olympiacos and free at the end of the season.

 

Tello, Deulofeu are on loan - those are the only ones I could see coming back.

We've signed Douglas from Sao Paulo for €5,5m

 

Ah well, at least we haven't been taken to the cleaners this time.

 

Daft question, but what happened to the transfer ban?

 

 

:lol:

:lol: I started to get really mad, then I noticed it was a different Douglas.

Speaking of transfer bans, Marca claiming that Atlético have run afoul of La Liga's FFP rules and might be hit with a transfer ban themselves unless they balance the books before the window's closing.

 

They have been chronically mismanaged, so despite their transfer profit I'm willing to believe it.

Lots of talk of Toby Alderweireld to Sunderland. Apparently on loan, although Atlético might end up selling.

I can't help thinking we have no chance of getting him. Being honest though I haven't seen a lot of him. Is he good?
