Mate, I'd be well happy with that but do you honestly think we can strike a deal with chels without having modric as part of the deal?
Really have no idea fella, just putting it all in at the moment with targets we could realistically get.

Sturridge hardly played under Matteo, Sturridge played a lot more under AVB. Ade seems to be very close.

Get those in, and it's looking a lot different. Kane still young, so would be happier playing a bit part, but we will never keep 4 top strikers happy throughout a whole season.

I'd imagine the likes of Kane/Caulker will play a lot in the Euro's, but I also expect AVB to take that tournament seriously, believing this is a cup he stands a chance in winning.

Hi all,

New to this, I just wanted to say things are looking for our beloved club. Has anyone heard any talk about the so called investment. It seems so many on here discuss anything I lose control of what's going on.

Welcome to the mad house mate

There has been rumours about investment for a few weeks nothing official yet though but Graham Roberts was on talksport a week ago saying he was told by a source there is investment coming in possibly from arabs.

Really hope the news about Moutinho is true. Am not a big fan of Sturridge at all but I'm trusting AVB's vision for the club.

Only in the last two weeks we've gone from Remy, to Huntelaar, to Lewandoski, to Sturridge...
This time next week we'll be after Frazier Campbell or Darren Bent!!!

Sounds promising. Can't wait to see how we will perfom in the league, high hopes :)

Moutinho would be very nice but 20m max for me.

Still think Sturridge will be off to Liverpool or stay at the Shite.

JJ said to Ryan this morning that AVB can't stand Sturridge.

I think we might be after someone that hasn't been mentioned yet as our backup to Ade.

I wouldn't pay more than £15m for Moutinho personally. Having watched him at Porto quite a bit, I would describe him as neat and tidy but not much more. He receives the ball fairly well and gives it simple but thats not £25m worth. He's not a patch on Modric imo and I actually think Dembele would do a better job for us in that postion for less money. He's got more in his game.

Id love it to be the other way around and Ade being backup for another big signing forward
I hope that's the case - we need a "fox in the box" finisher to deal with all of the balls we throw in to no one at the moment.

Apologies if this has already been discussed, but unless stated 'not from our usual source', is the Goat's info still attributed to JJ?

thats why united are after him too. moutinho works hard but i dont think consistent enough. could easily go missing and def not worth 25 mill.. i wud prefer sahin over him

Good that this thread is moving a little. Cheers Mr Goat!

Moutinho means Modric goes as far as i'm concerned. I don't want to lose the guy and then have to pay as much for someone who's not so good imo.

I still hope Sahin can be tossed into the Modric deal. He said he wanted to stay, but hopefully Madrid will tell him he aint gonna play if he stays so might as well move to North London.

Optimistic i know, but just rate him higher than Moutinho.
