All these potential deals for players like Agger and Suarez etc, for me, basically come down to whether them leaving is going to make a really significant difference to our chances of getting CL next season. In isolation the case is clear: we'd be mad not to take £15m+ for him. But the problem is that for years now our situation has left us with two clear but risky *and* absolutely incompatible strategies for getting back to where we were: building via CL money or via long term development. And what's worse is we seem to have been caught between the two and got nowhere.
Impossible.
I've gone rouge.

Sell for 18 and buy that Zouma lad of St. Ettienne for 10 to play alongside Papa. Two mean units in defence. A wall of ebony and ivory if you will.
Nah, that's just what naturally happens to Irish folk in the summer sun.
Live together in perfect harmony, side by side on my piano, oh lord why don't we?
Excuse me, but when am I not nice to people?Ah Koptalk. The good old days when Mark and Andy were nice to people.
Not our entire back line (which would include FBs) just our two CBs who don't exactly work brilliantly together anyway. Papa & Kolo plus A.N. Other good CB with a good part of the 20M+ Agger dosh ? Looks OK on paper and certainly not weaker than Agger+Skrtel.
I think that's entirely dependent on how the team's set up.It's weaker than Agger and Skrtel at full tilt. When they were firing on all cylinders a couple of seasons ago, there was no better combo around.
Well Skrtel hasn't been all that for quite a while now and TBH I hate it when Agger runs all the way up to and into the opposition's box (mostly without any result) leaving our defence exposed, which sometimes does have a (negative) result, so I'm not against losing either/or/both if the price is right.It's weaker than Agger and Skrtel at full tilt. When they were firing on all cylinders a couple of seasons ago, there was no better combo around.
Andy goes Ting-A-LingExcuse me, but when am I not nice to people?
I love you cunts. I reserve the right to pull people up for bullshit rumourmongering though.
Looks like Gareth Barry is a Rafa target so Lucas is unlikely to go there.C'mon Rafa, buy Lucas for loadsamoney. You know you want to.

It states that he's now Barca's main defensive target and that he is seen as a central figure in their plans. Or thereabouts. Sport states that a deal is close.
Quoted figures in the range of £17M-£18M

Ross would never allow 5 yr old threads to be kept alive.
Well you can understand why, once they get to that age they're past it and aren't worth investing any time in.
But I never read that thread in the first place, now its 70 pages long I certainly wont. And whats the point in it anyway? He isn't our player and is never going to be. Why not have one for Gundogan or Santos or Fabio? Who gives a shit?I beg to differ mate.
A good example the "One to watch: Eriksen" thread.
Why close it? Everything I know about him I had put in there, and I could re-use that same thread over and over again to post updates related to the player, rumors, goals, etc., instead of having to open new threads on the same subject all the time pissing certain posters off. Same posters who thinks he's the most boring topic on here could just stay out of it too. Win win.
I understand that some threads goes awol after a while and needs to be shut, but when it's specifically player related it's simply a really bad idea to shut them down just for new ones to pop up when a new story, goal or whatever could be of interest to some.

Mascherano plus cash. That is, if he wasn't another cunt.
Now there's a cunt I'd definitely like to see back here.
