Considering?

Don't want to get my hopes up too much

May not be China mate but he'll be looking elsewhere now.

That'll be his biggest payday you'd have thought.

Probably a little to late for him, he'd prefer to pick up his money at ours. All incentive lead but PG won't accept his terms of being a first pick.

Huge player for us over these years. Sadly, now a sighter for the snipers.

Yep, Yaya will go down in history as one of our top ten, that's for sure. I just hope Kompany doesn't go the same way with his injuries. Much prefer to have the memories of them leading the charge to those two PL titles rather than a guy at the later stage of his career who has gone on a year too long

So now its Paredes, Xhaka, Handanovic, and Valdes

Mido is now available.

i don't know the first two players you mentioned and Handovic is prollee Joe's equivalent albeit better distro, but i don't see him as any kind of serious upgrade on Joe. Only De Gea would do that for me and that seems impossible to snare him away from Madrid, or the Rags for that matter.

Dunno why we'd sign Valdes as a backup I guess and because of his affiliation with Pep? Seems like the sort of the thing that's ultimately clickbait, i hope, because i would like a young keeper like Gunn, whom i've heard so much about slotted in somewhere. I hope to fuck we've seen the back of Willy's bald ass. Waste of a roster spot, and i hate keeper rotation schemes. Complete bullshit. A keeper's fit, he fucking plays. End of.

cheers

I can see Valdez as a good backup for joe - callebero is in borrowed time and I don't know if the young lad is ready - also Valdez would be good for the dressing room

Gunn should be given a chance or loaned out. He is a great prospect and will be a fantastic keeper to push Joe for No1 spot imo.

Valdez is arguably flappier than Willy. Good with the ball at his feet though.

again tho why fuck up Europe with this foreign roster spot for a backup Goalie? Silly as fuck i say.

If you're using your backup keeper for Europe you're fucked anyway and you might as well have another attacker on the list since you're going to have to outscore some fuckers to get by.

cheers

But if so etching happens to joe and suddenly we have to play Fernando in goal against Bayern it's going to be slightly humorous for other fans

That would be hilarious to see

But we have to have two goalies on the A list don't we? Might as well have someone capable

I don't buy into the "good for the dressing room" line to describe anyone with experience at a high level. Like Captains, that sort of quality is something that we, the fans, rarely ever see. If he's introverted, doesn't train hard, or is just a dick, it doesn't matter how experienced he is. Pep will know so I'll trust his judgement.

I read the article from Busquets, yes fucking please.

I agree Busquets is just the sort of midfielder we have been missing all season imo.

Xhaka is actually a real deal. He was the captain of Borussia M. when we played them. He looks like like a Upgraded Garreth Barry. I like the chap, he can be a nice addition.

I hope we stay away from Valdes and Handanovic. Joe is a whole new level this year, by far the best keeper in the league, while with a run of games, Willy can be a starter for every single EPL team (beside the filth, chelsea, Spurs and Arse).

if we get Xhaka we'd better have a good backup as he likes to get sent off quite a lot.

Open up a tourist shop called "Everything Borussia"

I'd love Payet, he's fantastic! As per Neymar rumours, him coming would mean the end of Nasri, and possibly Sterling, and I don't think I'd like to see Raheem move on just yet, I feel the lad has a lot to offer, I think people forget he's still young.
