Jan Tran fix

Klaus

Well said.

That price is what we got for Vermaelen, isn't it? It's like losing nobody and getting a really good CB in return. And he can play LB when Gibbs and Monreal inevitably get injured at the same time.

Howedes

Yea, i've been wanting Höwedes for a long time. He looks solid and industrious every time i've seen him.

JazzG

Wonder if we'd make another bid for Sokratis, we should have just paid up what Dortmund wanted in the summer.

Imbula looks immense ...

Gazza M

amazing comp

first time I ever seen him.

beno howdo reminds me of ivanovic

QuincyAbeyie

That Imbula guy looks magnificent. Ligue 2 PotY last season and seems to have taken Ligue 1 by storm. Checked out a Marseille forum, they absolutely love him.

USArsenal

so then.. no chance of us gettin him on the cheap

QuincyAbeyie

Probably not. I wish we could sign more players right before they turn into super stars. This is a perfect example. Dortmund with Reus, Atletico with Agüero, United with De Gea, Chelsea with Zouma, Real Madrid with Varane etc.. All players who were nailed on to be worth at least twice their transfer values eventually.

Clrnc

We never do that ever. The closest being Reyes who somehow despite being good here failed elsewhere and went nowhere near fulfilling his potential. It's irritating enough yeah, I agree.

Didn't that Imbula guy play against us in the UCL? I somehow remember him being lanky and raw, but lots of potential there.

QuincyAbeyie

I think he did. So it was in 12/13 he was voted PotY in Ligue 2, not 13/14 as I said previously.

BWoolley

Agree with your point, Quincy - we tried to do that with Ox, Ramsey and most recently, Chambers. Let's see where that gets us.

Klaus

We should just offer Dortmund £80 million for Reus and Hummels in january. Their season is already screwed and Reus will leave for £25 million in the summer otherwise. Give them an incentive to sell him earlier to us. We'll land neither of those players in the summer, but a cheeky bid here could just do the trick.

Klaus

I don't see what Imbula does that Sanogo doesn't, by the way.

QuincyAbeyie

I can see the comparison. If you ignore that he's a CM, you can see that they score approximately the same amount of goals.

Not sure we have that kind of money after our summer spending.

Also, Hummels and Reus seem to be crocks. Quality players, but we really don't need any more additions to our physio room.

Well, exactly.

It's not like we would offer everything in cash up front anyway. I'd be totally fine with those two now and picking up scraps in the following two windows.

My French uncle is a huge OM fan and acts like he is the second coming. Haven't watched them much, but that compilation is :drool: worthy.
