summer transfer window thread

[Crayo]

The FFP system favours the really big teams, which is ironic lol. United, Real, and Barcelona specifically often generate over a £100m pure profit every single year. That's free money to spend.

You read the report about English U21's game time in the PL? It's so scary it's a hilarious.

Disgusting right?

anybody else heard of talks between Barcelona and David Luiz ?

Heard of it. I'm actually a huge fan of David Luiz; would be a good acquisition for Barcelona in my opinion.

I know stuart pearce has done a great job with them whilst in charge mind i don't think we will ever win a world cup unless big changes are made the bpl is only as great as it is because of foreign players unlike germany and spain

it will for sure be a great signing if this goes through but i doubt that Mou will let him go.

Yeah I like Pearce and how U21 play. I much prefer watching U21 than the senior team, though this week the U21's were pretty poor against Italy.

rumor: arsenal have activated fellanis release clause great signing for them if true

 

[Crayo]

They need someone as physical as Fellaini imo. Another rumour is them coming after Rooney.

 

[Zach]

Great signing if Arsenal get Fellaini. Him next to Arteta and Wilshere would be a solid midfield.

 

[Crayo]

IMO Arteta doesn't do nearly enough defensively. He can anchor midfield and play the Carrick-like passes, but defensively, he has nothing on Carrick. I think as a CDM in modern football you not only need to pass forward with accuracy and set up attacks, you also need to be able to intercept the ball well by reading the game, and having a solid tackle. I see Arteta as a CM, and an ageing one, and not a CDM. They are left open when Wilshere goes forward.

Fellaini can play CDM, but he's very useful going forward. Arsenal badly need a Viera type player imo.

Reading just signed Wayne Bridge not that anyone cares...:silva:

I wouldn't really consider Arteta's position a CDM, more like a CM. If they get Fellaini they can play more of an attacking 433 with Arteta and Wilshere going forward and coming back to dictate the midfield while Fellaini is in the back as a CDM. I think that'd be a good strategy.
