So we have 4 strikers why? Could it be something to do with squad depth? I didn't realise the new rules were you can only have one person in the squad who can play the same position!

Juggling 4 different strikers all with varying attributes and ability and keeping the least talented ones happy warming the bench from week to week is completely different to juggling two players who are pretty much identical to one another

Shamikebab · 11 May 2013 at 23:17

I hardly believe they're identical, a squad with 2 creative attacking midfielders is hardly insane. We juggle 3/4 wingers just fine. Take last week, we lost to Chelsea with Kagawa sitting on the bench doing nothing.

Tom84 · 11 May 2013 at 23:45

Well it's easy juggling 3 wingers when at least 2 of them are almost always injured

Shamikebab · 11 May 2013 at 23:47

Kagawa was also injured for a fair bit this season

I'm just saying, suggesting we shouldn't sign a player because he plays a similar role to a player that's only managed 24 games this season is like saying we shouldn't bother having backup for any positions!

We have Anderson for moving the ball about anyway

Shamikebab · 12 May 2013 at 00:22

Well I'm assuming him and Nani are going, pointless keeping them really. If Nani is still sitting on the bench with Valencia doing his best impersonation of someone who has never seen a football, then he'll never be playing, simple as that really.

Seems Falcao is off to Monaco

Yeah, what a mercenary.

Monaco :/ Have they acquired a rich owner?

What do you think.

He's apparently set to earn over £8m a year after tax :eek:

Shamikebab · 12 May 2013 at 13:37

Jesus, can't say many would turn that down, lovely place to live as well so it's not like some of the rich clubs!

Monaco want to announce Falaco signing in very next days. Atletico Madrid asked to wait until Copa del Rey final

Robbo · 12 May 2013 at 16:58

Such a shame we won't see much of Falcao and he's gone for money over a top side.

Purdy · 12 May 2013 at 17:02

Not like he has an allegiance to any side in europe anyways.

Pigeon_Killer · 12 May 2013 at 17:03

If they're rich no reason why they can't do a City but be properly successful.

Looks like it, i thought he was on his way to PSG who are also owned by a bunch of filthy rich Arabs. But a shame to see him go to a team that probably wont win many trophies but rather hes lining his pockets. Cant blame him for the money but as a footballer, i was under the impression that majority of them want to win trophies and other honours.

At least Chelsea wont get their dirty hands on him

...always a silver lining i suppose

Unfortunately, that's just the modern game

Yeah, I was actually worried about him being up front for Chelsea so that's good I suppose. I don't think we'd have signed him in the end even though it was rumoured.
