Higuain would be a fantastic signing.

I feel a day of FM coming on... Unless someone wants to make me an offer which improves my first team

yeah fan i think theyd be incoorporated in the same line up, Torres hasnt been that bad tbh when played this season, his touch pace and skill is all there its just been his confidence when he gets into shooting positions and also the fact that hes having the play so deep because of how slow our midfield is that hes not really getting chances around the box, when we play quick attacking football though like vs swansea, in the CL most games and man utd 2nd half Torres has got chances and looked good. A run of games in a team with sturridge and fast LW and Mata down the middle wih Ramires and Romeu and i think his confidence will go up and we'll start seeing him on the scoresheet

Punting offers for Hull and Blackburn on yer page

Chelsea will get there, just think they should have started this progress a little earlier

with Anelka, Drogba and Malouda possibly going

yeah i agree it should have happened earlier, maybe not with kalou and drogba but definitly with malouda and anelka but the problem has been not giving manager time to do it or the power to do it, at least now avb has full control of transfers and can get rid of who he wants. So far think his dealigs with transfers have been very promising. Mata and Romeu have been excellent, Miereles has been good and stopping Chelsea from sending Sturridge out on loan again, which was the plan in the summer before AVB got here, has worked wonders. A few more signings of his own and i think we'll be fine. Only one the club has made has been Lukaku which is a good one as we had loads of competition for him so didnt mind them stepping in with that

then the next step is replacing Lampard and Terry imo, its all very well going on about the young lads but will they cope with the pl?

Chelsea will be fine, there going through a changing process much like Utd did when Mourinho took over at Stamford Bridge

romeu, sturridge, mceachran all coped fine other than that atm theres only bertrand and lukaku around the first team, bertrand has been better than Cole this season when given his chance, really AVB should have given him more PL time, Lukaku is new started out looking a bit clumsy but hes starting to settle well and should get plenty of time in jan when its just him and Torres.

Chalobah is the next one really but hes still 17, probably on the bench v Villa as we only have 5 fit defenders now Bosingwa got injured v Fulham but dont think he'll feature properly in PL till next year at the earliest.

Hutchinson is back in Jan after recovering from injury and given the number 27 so obviously deemed an important part of the squad again

Kalas will get his turn in defence too eventually but atm the loan at vitesse is doing him a world of good

but yeah if the 3 that are doing it regularly are anything to go by im sure they will be fine

Man Utd have been given an injury boost!

Jonny Evans is out till Jan

playing regularly in the pl is slightly different tho, could they cope being a 1st teamer week in week out at a club with such high expectations?

Suppose Mata may be looked on as the goalscoring midfielder to replace Lampard long term

romeu and sturridge are doing it are they not?

Mceachran will be playing week in week out from jan

the others still 17/18

i think ramires will if he improves his finishing, mata more the creator we havent really had since Zola

suppose but Sturridge has had plenty playing time out on loan to get used to it...

Anyway is the 1st game back the cup games? As I will prob haveto do tactics for it on Fri as off till the 10th after friday and will just be onphone

Yeah it will be, if someone reminds me I'll sort all the schedule for Jan out tomorrow

And Mceachran is going out on loan too do its the same scenario, Lukaku has been a regular for Anderlecht since he was 16 and a full international level, Chalobah has got some good first team time in the CL League cup, Prem and in pre seasons and only turned 17 this month

meant plenty playing time in thepl to get used to it

Ill remind you tomorrow

Thanks

And yh as I say Mceachran will get that and it's not as if all young players from abroad need it for example Romeu.

only time will tell i suppose

but it is looking better imo

im really looking forward to the transfer window in jan...

Wigan need to spend nzog money on a striker and CB

Sunderland need a hitman and are going to lose a few aswell also its MONs first chance to get who he wants in

also i think heskey could be going to either club tbh

Villa need 4 new players imo

1 x Def
2 x Mid
1 x striker

Just hope its not Boumsong, Ferguson, Boyd and Davis lol

Chelsea need

1 CB
1 RB
1 LW

IMO

arsenal need

short term striker
long term striker
short term left back
midfielder

IMO

would like to see Makoun recalled Villa have no one beside Petrov and are relying on CB's now to play in CM

Maybe even take a gamble on Rhodes as back up to Bent

Lewis Dunk would be another one

and one big signing for AM

Did Hull v QPR U-23 ever get played btw?

no it didnt actually i got a virus and lost the laptop for a day and a bit and never handed in tactics

Not won for 7 games with Gladbach on FM, dropped to twelfth luckily the aim is only mid-table but we are making a loss every month so have to sell players, and won't really ever have s budget over 500k

awkward moment when a spurs fan says spurs are a better all round team than united but when they face each other united would win

well it does help having a ref on your side aswell though
