no im just saying, even if it were to happen. It would be a complete waste. Unless of course it was Adidas who funded the deal (because both Chelsea and Messi are sponsored by Adidas, and Barca are not)

Messi doesnt play wing, he'll have to be our number 10. And even then it's not gonna work out cause Messi plays in a different formation

Ramires I think his time is up tbh, he's good but he's not the player he once was and I think now is the best time we can cash in on him Bertrand is very good, but as you said yourself its gonna be hard for him to get minutes which is why I thought we should just sell him tbh, there's no point in us just keeping him and wasting his potential, im happy to see him do well at Southampton. I do agree with Romeu, but I only said we should bring him back because he's signed a new contract with us and personally I think he can replace Mikel for now as the fringe CM we have in our team. You know just the player we bring on to try and close a game instead of usually using Mikel. The reason I say bring both Kalas and Christensen back is that they are both very versatile defenders and not just restricted to CB. Terry is injury prone, and getting quite old and Cahill has been off at times this season and so has Ivanovic so I think its safe to have both back. JT and Ivan gonna be playing less and less games in the future and it wll be perfect to integrate both Kalas and Christensen into the team just like with Zouma. Solanke and Bamford I just commented should be given more game time thats all, say if Remy, Costa and Drogba are injured (all are pretty injury prone) These 2 deserve a shot I feel. Also Drogba is also pretty old, and can't heavily rely on him to do too much. I agree with T.Hazard, he definitely has incredible potential and the rumours surrounding his 7m move to Mochengladbach permanently would be stupid if we let that happen. He's only 21 and only shown much more than Salah, so at the very least he should take his place. Mikel I think has been disappointing and I think Ake can do a much better job than him tbh so I think Ake should be the 3rd choice CM behind Matic and Fabregas, and certainly not Mikel. and agree with Loftus-Cheek, just giving youth players some minutes at the end of each game when we're comfortably ahead can do no harm. I;d much rather bring on Loftus-Cheek at the 85th minute when we're up say 3-0 instead of it being Mikel.

Ramires, Mikel, Salah, Schwarzer -- Get rid of these 4 from our main squad for decent fee's Delac, Bertrand, Wallace, Cuevas, Davila, Kakuta, Marin, McEachran, Moses, Rodriguez -- All gone from our current loanees, not good enough. Kalas, Romeu, T.Hazard, Bamford -- Called back to our main squad from loan, they deserve a shot at the first team Ake, Loftus-Cheek, Christensen, Baker, Solanke and somewhat Zouma -- Give much more playing time in our first team The other loanees we have out I think still need more time to mature, and in the coming seasons we'll be able to recall them back.

The only sensible thing we should do right now is let go of the countless loanees we have out right now and get rid of fringe players like Mikel and Salah currently wasting space in our squad. We have great youth back up in Ake, Baker and countless others who I think can easily replace some of the trash we have right now

I honestly don't understand why we have so many players linked for transfers with us... We already have way too many loanees and players currently with our youth players coming up, yet we just buy more :/

Surely thats Baker? Why do you we need to buy somebody to replace when we have a perfectly valid option already...

I was still hoping this Schurrle + money deal for Reus would happen but I guess not :/ I'd happily even do Schurrle+Salah+Money for Reus.

LOL city were worthless before they had money, they were relegated to league 1 like 10 years ago, and never played in european football.

I just want to see city fail, always have been and always will be a small club. They have thousands and thousands of empty seats in champions league games, they'll never be a big club and will always be seen as a club who just splashed a sh*t ton of money and still failed

I'd much rather take Romeu over Mikel, and I think Jose see's that too otherwise he wouldn't have just signed a new deal recently to stay with us longer

Can't blame him for the sh*t team, also he's one of the best performers at the club currently. Plus as a squad player, i'd take him over Mikel anyday whose near worthless these days

United can offer more wages, but all the best players in the world want regular champions league football, and by the looks of it Utd aren't getting that any time soon. The only power that city have when it comes to signing players is ridiculous amounts of money.. They are in fact just like Monaco where they offer big money, but the club itself is worthless. They play in empty stadiums with no atmosphere, which is the reason why people like Rodriguez and Falcao left Monaco, and Man sh*tty are in the same boat as them. If anything I'd say PSG are in a reasonably strong position, as they have incredible players, and perform well in the Champions league, but ligue 1 itself is rather pitiful

I meant Send Shurrle and Salah lol sorry, not Solanke

I understand that he is a bit young, but its better to start young. Well if not him, why not bring back one of the players we have sent out on loan to play upfront? I mean what about Patrick Bamford, or maybe Piazon? I know piazon isn't a out and out striker, but he can still do a good job

Agreed. Get rid of Mikel and we may as well bring back Romeu who we have sent out on loan who can do Mikel's job much better than he can

I'd be happy to send both Schurrle and Solanke with a small cash sum if it means we get Reus on the return. That way we have Willian to play back up winger, and also gives us a chance to promote youth players like Solanke and Baker to play more games.

I know Drogba's been good, but if our top 2 striker's weren't injured I think he'd hardly get to play, hence why I rather someone like Solanke replace him, because its about time we started promoting younger players into our main squad and start to depart with the older more seasoned players who have been here a long time

We have Costa and Remy as our main 2, and I think we should sell or release Drogba and then as our 3rd striker either call back a loanee we have that can play there, or promote someone like Solanke to play upfront

Exactly, it would be a great deal for both clubs! If it makes Dortmund happier, i'd be happy to throw in a couple more of our fringe players as part of the deal because we seriously have TOO many players (both out on loan and currently in our squad). -Reus in a swap deal with Schurrle,Salah and Mikel. -Try and sell Ramires for around 20m to any club who wants him -Offload Schwarzer and Drogba (as much as I love him, he's too old to play now) from out current main squad. -From our loanees, offload/sell: Bertrand, Cuevas, Davila, Kakuta, Marin, Mceachran, Moses, Torres, Perica. If we do all these things, and bring in more youth players into our main squad, and also call back some of our loanees I have no doubt we will have one heck of a squad. And in a few years time, out team can only get better with the amount of talent we have out on reserve

Bale coming to chelsea for that huge fee would be one of the dumbest deals of the century

Reus to Chelsea at the expense of Schurrle would be an incredible deal imo. I'd be happy to throw in salah and a few others to go the other way too

I know, but i'd rather offer them in swap deals now, we already have great talent coming through our u21 squad, who are mostly english and homegrown

These players (aside from maybe torres) probably dont rake in huge wages anyway, so it should be easy on that part. And im sure a lot of teams will want some of these players, it doesn't matter what level they play at. And plus, as a last resort we can just release them

I'm quite frankly disappointed that we have so many players out on loan, when realistically we'll be better off selling them and making some cash! There are so many players that we have just on loan right now that im sure we could sell and make a profit, as im pretty certain none of them are first team material anyway, and it doesnt help that some of our key players are already quite young like Hazard, Oscar etc... I've compiled a small list of players who I for sure would be happy to see go come January or in the summer: Ulisels Davila Gael Kakuta Marko Marin Victor Moses Josh Mceachran Matej Delac Fernando Torres. These are just a few off the top of my head that I know almost for sure that we don't need at all as their positions are well covered.
