  1. We'd be absolutely nuts to agree to a release clause that low.

     

    I don't think they ever did bid £38m, Haf, there was never a fourth bid according to Martinez.

     

    I don't think there was a 4th bid either. I just think Chelsea (or the media) were trying to unsettle Stones further.

     

    Epic Fail, as it seems to have unsettled the Chelsea Defence more than it has effected us. I think the whole thing has ended Chelsea shot at holding on to the title and I could not be happier about it.

  2. Think about it tho and let it sink in. We have spent 20mil on players if Lennon comes. At the same time we have passed up offers for Stones, Coleman and Naismith worth more than 70mil!!! Thats showing some serious intent. I cant believe ppl want us to sell Naismith. What a pro he is. Does not matter if he is on the bench most of the time. He always enters the pitch to fight for a starting place.

     

    We got a new striker, he will be a back up for Lukaku and Kone (who has surprised us this season so far) perhaps RM feels the same way? Kone is showing us why we bought him so a new striker might not be first priority.

     

    Number 10 then? Sure i would have loved it if we got one in but if we get Lennon we will have Barkley, Gerry and Mirallas. All 3 very capable of playing as a nr 10.

     

    We got Mori, an argentinian international (1 cap is better than 0)

     

    And we got a couple of players that are on growth.

     

    All in all its a better window than most seem to think.

     

     

     

     

    Or maybe im drunk...

  3. Who said he would? It's what I'd prefer to see and whilst in Greece he played through the middle or upfront where he was effective hence the suggestion

    Nobody said he would. You would prefer to see him played there, but, I'm looking for the solution to the no 10 position and it doesn't matter if people would prefer him to play there, he won't. So what is the solution if we do not buy someone?

  4. I've said from the off we wouldn't sign a "no 10" the moment we bought Cleverley nulified that notion for me and the way Martinez sets the side up

     

    Mirallas has goals in him so I'd prefer us to utilise him and play him in the hole

     

    We need a creative mid but I didn't and still don't think we'll sign one

    Mirallas is not going to play no10 though, he would have already if that was the case.

  5. It's being touted in one of the rags he's goin for a cut price £8.75m I smell bollocks there like. Hope we get someone in coz if we don't it's all guna kick off

    We probably offered 1m a year for 25 years!

  6. Be a good 3rd signing. Can play Denfensive Midfield, Box to Box, Centre Back and I think he may have played as a full back when needed.

     

    Played in all those positions I think for Arsenal when required. Think your right though, should be played in the Barry position.

     

    Very good cover for many areas we have no cover for (Centre Back and Right Back) and can replace Barry if he's tired due to his age.

  7. If we can get the players who "should" be fit i would like us to play;

     

    Howard

    Coleman Stones Jags Baines

     

    Barkley McCarthy Cleverley

     

    Kev Rom McAlaney

     

    This is the team I would like. McCarthy as the holding midfielder and Barkley & Cleverley further forward.

     

    I doubt it will happen though, Barry will play.

  8. Getting bored with the "Martinez dont know this and that crowd". When i talk to any football fan, regardless of which club they support, they all seem to think that we have a great manager in RM. I agree 100%

     

    He dropped Distin when he wasnt good enough to play. Who should he have been on instead of? Stones or Jags? A fit Alcaraz was the better option too. Distin looked really shaky last season. One of the reasons that we got such a poor start and lost so much confidence in the back four. He was a really good Everton player before that but was left wanting last season.

     

    I thought it should have been Jags dropped at the time when Distin was dropped.

  9. I wouldn't say Osman and Peanuts are not quality players, but they are getting older and need replacing. This type of player could be bought now and they can be bleed into the team ready for why the likes of Osman do retire. Save us money on the long run and will make it an easier transition.

  10. Ive read on a few sites that Chelsea are prepared to break the record transfer for an english defender with a bid of over £30m

    Yes, but they have sold a defender for £50m, that is what his price should be based on.
