The worry is that the noises out of the club are 'Only if we need a player' but the rumour mill has us spending 200m
In reality unless there are significant outtages
Aquilani
Cole
Ngog
Konchesky
Jovanovic
Agger
etc
We just cant afford to bring in these players who command 120k a week.
I would think that IF we can ship out all the shit we would need a
LB - So the long standing Enrique deal looks most likely
CB - I think at 8m Dann is a far MORE LIKELY signing than the 15-20m Cahill
CM - Im not sure if we do need a CM anymore.
LW - This was the one i was really hopeful of a top signing so Downing would represent a very dissappointing result.
The choices that most noise is being made about are depressingly likely.
I just cant see us spending 30m bolstering the squad and then 80m on two superstars. Especially with no European football next year. We already declared a loss this year. So where does the 80m shortfal come from (not to mention the 10m a year in extra wages)
Im begining to think the Danns, Adams, Friedals, Downings are the reality.
The dream of Hazard, Aguero, Benzema etc all seems so very very implausible.
Before anyone mentions the 50m for Suarez and Carroll, that was totally funded by the sales of Torres and Babel and as such not much of an investment risk.
I wont be angry if these suggested big name players dont come, because realistically i know that we cant afford them in our 44k seater stadium but i will be just utterly deflated as it would instantly show me just how far we are from the top.

That's all good and well Oncy except for the fact that Mark Mc says otherwise (ie. +2 marquee signings).
And he's usually right.

id like to point out that im a sleeper cell, as soon as the season starts my programming will kick in and il be orderd to take down the general talk section
also KOPTALK on twatter (duno who the fuck they are) are saying that we have 2 major deals that will be announced soon, but ther doin a "we're not gonna say when coz we're gettin abused bout gettin aguero wrong"
could just be bollocks so all their followers dont leave them

Hahahahaha. I still think we'll win the league. I just dont understand why we are strengthening our bench BEFORE our first team.
I havnt seen Enrique much but is he better than Glen at LB?
Is Downing better than Maxi or Suarez?
Is Fatty better than Raul?
Is Scott Dann better than Skrtel?
This is crazy to spend this money on nothing players.
Improve the first team.

To clarify the players in our team (best 11) who could be improved on by spending big are:
LB - Be it Johnson stuck out there or Aurelio
CB - Skrtel
DM - Lucas or Spearing
LM - We dont have one really
So if we can afford ONE world class player we should get one for one of those positions. For years weve been rotating our frigging bench.

Yep improve the first team. To be honest though we've nothing to say that will or won't happen at the moment so I'm not getting overly positive or negative but I still have slight leaning to positivity.
[/quote]Im not really negative mate, i just love a moan.

[/quote]God thats depressing. 5 Weeks of Twitshit until the window even opens.
And about 12 weeks until the season starts with NO international footie to get excited about.
Summer - Discontent.

I reckon we're going to buy a top striker and a top midfielder. We're not sure who either of them are though because loads of clubs want them.

We'll see. He can be mustard one week and muck the next. TBH I'm glad we don't look like getting him.

Young is going to utd, 20mil apparently. That really sucks
[/quote]
yeah that is grim, i woulda liked him, but i think we can get better players for that amount, whether we do or not is a different story

I want Utd to spend loads this summer so it'll really stick in their craws when we win the league anyway.
Would people really be upset with the following team:
--------------------------------Reina------------------------------------
Kelly-----------Carragher-------------Skrtel--------------Johnson
-----------Meireles-----------Alonso*-----------Gerrard------------
-------------Aguero*-----------Carroll------------Suarez--------------
* - Two examples for marquee signings.
Now that is just one example of formation.
But the bench and options will have Friedel, Lucas, Flanagan, Dann, Enrique, Spearing, Shelvey, Kuyt, Downing.
That is the signings Mark said - plus two marquee ones.
If people are unhappy with that type of summer, I'm not sure what they were expecting! ???

Its all about the 'big' signings. In the past we have stopped short of the one/two guaranteed first team game changers for 4/5 squad/do a job players.
If we are to have the confidence in the younger players to fill the space in the squad then we can push on with the one/two big players otherwise we will again look to pad out the squad with 'can do a job' players.

Hell no. But thats just wishful thinking taken to the extreme.

Replace Alonso and Aguero - with Mata / Hazard etc.
[/quote]
then replace mata and hazard with 2 shit players we'll actually get

If he's going to play the wing, Valencia or Nani will probably leave - no?

Btw, I can't see the summer passing without a few players from the french league coming in.

Maybe, I just thought people were disappointed with what Mark said, when I thought it was positive.
People on here seem to say he is always right, so I don't see the reason to be so negative.
Especially with these owners, who spend massive in Baseball and want to win here.
