15 goals in 33 games from the wing for Roma is unproven?

30m proven? Not as far as I'm concerned.

Balotelli been utter **** in PL, then he goes to Milan and suddenly has nearly 1.0 game/goal ratio. Serie A isn't what it used to be, how many serious team are left there other then Juve?

Isn't it? He's a 20 year old player, talented, but mostly unproven at the top level. Oh and he becomes pretty good in FM13 about 5 years into the game. Not exactly a bargain.

Madrid got Isco for similar money, and he's been spectacular in the Champions League, performs in the big games and was one of key players of Spain's Euro winning U-21 team.

Somebody didn't watch Roma last season. (;

However, it could have been a fluke... I guess. Don't think we'd ever pay the £28m for him.

Balotelli is bat **** crazy, though.

Roma paid £15m for Lamela in the first place. His potential is huge, and he began to show it last year. Walcott, Zaha, The Ox, Bale etc. have all moved for £12m+ at a younger age with championship/league one experience at best. Willian has only ever been proven in the Ukranian league, far weaker than Serie A - is he not worth £30m?

Well, not quite. Shakhtar consistently played in Europe (and with success, too - ask Roberto di Mateo ;) ).
 
Lamela is an absolute quality player. Well worth the 30 million. Willian is another quality player worth the 30 million. He tore Chelsea a new **** is the champions league.

with him being loaned back to Derby for the rest of the season apparently... Good signing, but only if we have the funds to still strengthen the first team

Lot of rumours we are back in for Papa and Ilori as well

Bild had a rumour that Schalke will be looking to buy Podolski from Arsenal and to do that either need to sell Papadopoulos or qualify for CL.

Read something about them admitting they will lose Papa.... after this transfer window though, have to take everything with a pinch of salt

Drew at home first qualifying match so nowhere near set to qualify so good chance for signing him I think.
 
Originally I wasn't set on Papadopolous, nor Ilori, but I think I'd take either one at this point.
 
'Sky Sources' say that Willian is considering his options before signing for Spurs... I have no idea what that would mean as Spurs are the only side to have a bid accepted unless Liverpool or another club have come in for him very late

It's probably just the bookies trying to get more money out of people.

I originally thought that, but Willian is delaying himself.. the medical should have been completed easily by now

Kia Joorabchian is part of the deal so wouldnt surprise me if that is the hold up
 
Well it looks like Willian is set for Chelsea or Spurs. If he signs for Chelsea I think we could do worse than make a bid for Moses, who clearly isn't wanted my Mourinho.

Decent, but i would rather stick with Sterling and Ibe as back up than waste money on Moses... dont think he is good enough to improve out starting 11
 
We really do need to control Benteke today, caused us all sorts of problems last season.

Great chance to start the season with 2 wins out of 2 for only the 2nd time in 20 years!
 
Benteke is averaging 13 aerial duels per game. Toure is currently our highest with just 4. Guzans kicks will be interesting, hopefully Johnson & Enrique can deal with them.
