Chelsea want Greizmann.

Chelsea are ridiculously efficient in the market these days.

Just seeing Bayern's squad I think they'll be spending big this summer.

Robben turns 32 in January.
Ribery has turned 32.
Lahm's 32 in November.
Schweinsteiger is 31 in August.

I think letting Shaqiri go in the winter was a mistake. They have no pace beyond the 2 above now and both are injured.

Their squad is obviously good enough to win the Bundesliga easily but if they want to compete in the CL think they'll need to spend.

They can spend more 150-200m euros if they want and revamp the squad.

From another forum:

I just read a quite interesting article in Swedens biggest newspaper, Aftonbladet. The reporter had been granted access to Säbener Strasse for two days following the Porto game. For example he talked to Sammer, Dremmler and Björn Andersson. Apparently during his visit there was a lot of talk at Säbener Strasse over new signings, especially one player. The reporter had to promise not to name any names but wrote that he was considered a world class player from one of the biggest clubs in Europe. Andersson was positive to buying the player while the others were more negative.

I wonder who's this one player they desire...must be Bale or Pogba or something like that. Also, Adidas is further bankrolling them by increasing their shirt deal to 60m euros a year.

Think they could get both if they wanted.

They should be looking for a player like Bale or Greizmann.

Says in that same article that Oscar has pulled out of the Copa America already, given Morunho's comments last summer about the Brazilian wanting to play more for his country than he does for Chelsea, wouldn't surprise me if he made him do it. It's the type of man he is.

JazzG

True but Oscar has played way too much football in recent years. If he isn't careful he could risk burning himself out.

Wish we could pull Alexis out but with him being one of the star players for Chile a bit more difficult to pull off.

Rex

There is no such thing as pulling out either. The player can make a request, but if the NT calls him up despite that, then he has to go.
I think it is weird anyway; which European player would voluntarily pull out of the European Championship? Especially so when your team has a realistic chance of winning the tournament!

Klaus

Laudrup pulled out of Denmark the year they won the Euros.

Either way, the player can still refuse to go even if the national team wants him, because he's not a slave. If he refuses they can drag him in front of a Fifa tribunal though. I think Anelka got a two-game club suspension for refusing to show up for France.

type of man that he his? you mean one that cares more about how his players perform for his club (that pays them) than their national team? sounds like a man who has a priorities in order.

QuincyAbeyie

Don't you think every club manager in the world cares more about how his players perform for his club? That's like giving credit to someone because they're happy when they win. It's kind of a given.

Meatwad

if he made him do it like ricky is suggesting then that wouldn't reflect negatively on him IMHO. that's 100% positive, it's something that i wish arsene wenger would do instead of crying about international football after the fact. so no it's not a given that all managers would behave in the manner that ricky is suggesting.

Looks like Depay is joining MUFC.

QuincyAbeyie

It's official, sadly. Just what they need.

marv3llous

Yep, PSV have confirmed it:

I'd rather they get Depay than say Bale.

ChiliPalmer

Meh, nothing to worry about.

Gunner89

Obviously United have a shit-load of cash and were going to sign players.

That they signed Depay rather than a proven player like Bale is good for us.

No doubting he's a good talent though.

Qwiss

We should nip in and free Januzaj.

JazzG

Lets hope Bale stays at R.Madrid and there is a chance for us to sign Reus!

marv3llous

Would be great to go H2H with ManU for Reus and get him, just because we're in London and his mates from Germany NT are here.
