Shaqiri, Bojan and Crouch on the same team would be brilliant

Maybe because Shaquiri isn't very good and has failed at every team he's been at?

He's not as good as the hype may have indicated at some point, but he is very good, and I'm not just saying this because I'm Swiss.

Don't Liverpool have like two whole teams worth of disappointing players now? Surely they have to be having a fire sale soon.

Juventus announced that they refused an €80m offer for Pogba from Barcelona.

He's going to be the most expensive transfer ever, isn't he. Can't wait to see who Real or Barcelona has to let go to fund his transfer fee.

Still cant believe Fergie had the answer to our midfield issues there and ended up being a stubborn oval office and let him go because his agent pissed him off

Actually I can totally believe it.

Yeah but he wanted £20k a week! Which would've been more than Cleverly!

Yes. There's a whole new crop of Joe Coles and Philipp Degens to unload. Ayre's going to have to work pretty hard.

It was three years ago this Friday that Pogba left Man United, and now he's 22 and one of the best midfielders in the world and soon to be the most expensive footballer ever.

The issue wasnt the contract so much as the fact that Fergie didnt give him a chance in the team because he was a stubborn old oval office. Ultimately Fergie was right with the likes of Ravel Morrison and Ezekiel Fryers, but Pogba was a massive mistake and Ive never understood how someone who watched the youth team in the seasons before that couldnt see how he was going to be a good player, let alone a great one.

Thats our Fergie tho.

In terms of numbers yeah we have far too many players so we need to offload some (Coates to Sunderland, Borini to West Ham? are nearly done). It's not like we are in desperate need of money though - I think we had a pre-sales transfer fund of £30m-£40m. Firmino is £21m, Clyne is £12.5m, and Gomez £3m so we're around halfway through that. If/when we sell Sterling that will fund Benteke.

Transfer funding is the new code tags.

Shaqiri was bad for Inter but so was everyone else on that team. Hard to blame him individually. You can probably blame Podolski though.

Wengy

Yeah, yeah, he sucked at Bayern and Inter, doesn't mean he's a bad player. I'm convinced that he can do well, just probably not at Bayern's level and when expectations are too high. He really should have gone to Liverpool when he (allegedly) had the chance.

West Ham aren't interested in buying Borini. At all. He's supposed to be a backup option on loan.

No idea if he's any good, maybe he can cover for our 3 good but injury prone right backs.

He's decent enough. Strong, quick and gets forward well.

A bit surprised United are getting rid of him because he was their reserve player of the year the season before last and he's still only 19. I guess he wants first team football.

Reading have so far signed Legia player Orlando Sa to help our other bad strikers in not scoring goals

Orlando is a good lad who means well. He's won us some crucial points this year, and had an immediate impact every time he played. Unfortunately he never got along with the miserable oval office that is Henning Berg and was let go, which infuriated everyone. Except the miserable oval office Henning Berg.

I wonder why United or City didn't move for Clyne at that price? The former need a right back and the latter desperately need home grown players. Would have thought we would have faced more competition tbh as he looked great every time I saw Southampton play.
