Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - The Slotification of Liverpool is nearly complete

[Ari Gold Bawse]

Where are they gonna play all the attackers? Should grow some balls and sign a striker. Not impressed.

Lloris
Walker - Kaboul - Vertonghen - Coentrao
Sandro
Paulinho - Dembele
Lamela - - - - - - - - - - Willian
Soldado
​

Holtby, Capoue, Sigurdsson, Dawson, Rose, Lennon, Chadli, Defoe

Tottenham arent fukking around

We need creators. We struggle for chances.

You struggle to finish aswell (the number of times it taken Arsenal till the 75-80th min to break the deadlock in games because of shytty finishin) and that team has no leaders.. But yeah you still need another 6-7 signings. 5 starters and 2 squad/utility players. But with a strong defensive spine and Arsenal pace in attackin areas you would just have to soak up pressure then hit on the counter like the 98-06 teams use to do

Breh nothin wrong with Pazzini/Matri but you don't sell Osvaldo for 15 mill and Lamela for 30 million and end up with one of those two while trying to get into Europe.

 

[gho3st]

surprised nobody has gone in for Tom Ince. Maybe they dont want to deal with Paul

You're overrating Osvaldo by alot. Hes a good CF, but his scoring record is shyt and Roma been tryin to flog him for the past 12-18 months. Hes been linked with Fulham, Spurs and a couple of other teams. Lamela is a strange sale but by al laccounts Lamela wants 3.5m a season but Roma think hes not worth that at the moment, because like SES he started off last season great the ntailed off with form and injuries.

Talkin about Matri, Uncle Festa might be takin him onloan for the seaosn, they better not pay fukkin 12m for him. As he played under Allegri @ Cagliari and is a former Milan youth player

Ince turned down Cardiff and who is else is goin to pay 12-15m for him and hes bit of a NW boy. Who else is goin to go in for him? Everton?, no money and they have better players, Newcastle? hes not French, Sunderland?, hes too British, Southampton? they probably have a better talent in their youth ranks anyway, Hull? cannot afford him. Fulham? He has no Spurs connection, Villa? Hes too British, WBA? Too expensive, Norwich? Got Redmond for a better price. West Ham? He would get abuse jsut because hes Paul's boy and they signed Andy Carroll, Swansea? They can get cheaper types of him elsewhere, Palace? Too expensive so that leaves Stoke? And they on a budget and cost cutting


Zaha went for the price he did, because up and till he signed for United he was the best player in the Championship then his form dipped plus it was a little bit extra because Palace wanted him to stay for the rest of the season.

i agree with this

and i still think they need a CB. Soldado is streaky as fucc and not worth it, but he is an improvement over Ade and Defoe.

Still, that squad is better than the one Ivan the Fraud and Wumger have right now.

Can't really argue with that record tbf.

Think their CM options are all much of a muchness. No real ball-playing/creative midfielder amongst them.

Still won't be shyt with AVB at the helm though.

I hate that c*nt Osvaldo and am glad he's gone. I'm not lamenting a fact that he's gone or that he's better than Matri/Pazzini type. I'm concerned that they are going for those types of players when they just got 45 million.

Should be going for Dzeko and others in the 20-25 mill range instead of Hernandez and Demba Ba who they're being linked with now.

Kiznichenko is a beast!

i know what his record is, break down the matches he scored goals in and ones he didnt.

He got better at the end of last season, but he would give you a bunch in 2 or 3 matches, and then cost for about 5 or 6 matches without a goal.

As in Abel Hernandez? I read that Roma were interested but only want to offer 6m but Palermo want 10m. Is Destro really up to do it this season? And you already have your Pazzini/Matri type in Borriello

There are very few forwards in world football that score consistently like that and the ones that do are being sold for 50m+.

Soldado is obviously a level below but for a team like Spurs he's as good as it gets.

'Vertical penetration' in full effect

The Top Boy ad is so facking cringeworthy.

And you still have to do something about the moron at RB.
