Fee agreed say his club

Good summary Drogs. The Shaw 'deal' looks a no brainer. Given us another year at least with Ash then Shaw and Bertrand to compete for LB 2014. My only reservation is I heard Van Aarnholt was doing wonders on loan and I always liked the look of him too.
I'm torn re Courtois. As Ive said elsewhere, if he goes on loan again we really need to extend his contract, it's clear this guy is going to be one of the best in the world and he'll only have 2 years left on his deal in 2014 without having even played for us. I like the idea of a Given or Cesar as back up. Both better than what we have currently behing Cech. Delac presumably will be 3.
Shurrie gives us options and I presume he will be played wide, opposite to Hazard with the likes of Moses, maybe Piazon and De Bruyne as back up. This leaves Mata and Oscar as our options at '10' with the likes of Mikel, Rambo, 203, Essien, Ake and Romeu as central midfield options with Oscar and maybe De Bruyne being able to play there also. If we are lucky, we may even see Josh and Chalobah return though I suspect loan deals to P.L clubs.
Walace coming in to compete with Ivan and Dave at R.B just really means 2 positions to be filled for me; a centre half and a centre forward. You know my view of Lewandowski. I'd have him, Torres and Ba with Lukaku having one more season on loan at say Swansea, with a view to him replacing one of Torres / Ba in a years time.
At centre half we need a beast to play alongside Luiz. Terry of 2005 would be ideal if I can just sort out that damn time machine.
Pretty much agree with everything here. Another solution up top would be to have new striker with Lukaku and have Schurrle and Feruz as backup. Keep on forgetting about Piazon too, we've got so many options in that 3 man attack role. Oscar needs to either be rotated with Mata, or shifted back a position. Either way, his strongest place on the field is in the middle, not out wide!!
If these Torres + £30m for Cavani rumours are true then I will be a very happy man![]()

Feruz is nowhere near ready, and I have doubts as to whether he will ever reach the standards that we require.
What, to be 4th choice? Good for you if you doubt him, but we'll never know if he has potential if we don't give him the odd chance.
Who is this Malanga fella from Porto? Anyone know if he's any good?
Not seen much myself apart from youtube. Looks promising though, and we do need a top notch CB badly.
Yeah we do need a new centre back. If he is good then I say snap him up! He's only 22 as well!
Porto must fecking love us!
In the last decade Porto have made 340 milliion quid profit on player sales. Their scouting system must be immense!

Most of them have gone to Monaco!!
Also not to mention the money they made on AVB. Must be hard for their fans seeing their best players go every year though.
Rumours are you have signed Schurrle. What do you make of him?
