Cable Forum - Football Season 2014/15

Chelsea easily did the best this summer. Arsenal simply replaced what left, minus a defender, and got Sanchez who is great but not what we needed. United got some star players but in positions I would argue they didn't really need with the exception of the left backs. Chelsea did so well with Costa and Fabregas.

It's lovely to have all these attacking options, but as we found out ourselves, there's more to a team, as I'm sure you all know.

I try not to remember that day Den. We blew around £75 million on a forward who stopped scoring and a defender who forgot how to defend most of the time.

Overall l am pretty happy with our transfer business as well apart from replacing one certain player with another.

Insane offer for an injured player

Here

Quote:

Ronald Koeman is in the market for a winger and Saints have been linked with Townsend for several weeks. If they can get $26 million plus an England international winger for a player who is currently injured and has had one breakout season in the PL, maybe that is good business for Saints.

£16 million for Welbeck I'm sure United will be happy with that :D

I think everyone will be happy with this deal. Arsenal get a striker who has played in the PL. United get £16 million, Welbeck gets more football, England get Welbeck to get more football.

Re: Football Season 2014/15

Yes we really need a CB but I am happy with Welbeck. I think he is exactly what we need short of a world class striker.

Pleased that it's a permanent deal as well. I hate loan deals unless you really don't wish to retain that player or you have a ironclad option to buy clause. Good for temporary cover, not so good for players you actually need longer term.
