Transfers and Rumours - old thread

[Meitux]

We look so desperate for a CB that Tito will bring whoever is avaiable even an average one and will say ''here is my promise,we bought a CB''...

luiz would start, better thn pique

That really isnt a fair comparison,comparing him to the bad Pique doesnt say much..everybody could be better.The real comparison would be with a good CB...Luiz is unstable,prone to make mistakes and gets forward too much leaving big gaps in defense.I would like someone to take Pique's place but this man's reputation is bigger than his quality as footballer,and we cant trust Puyol either to have a full healty season.The best idea is to bring 2 CB which wont happen actually,one for Puyol's place and one to give competition to Pique or even more, bench him

He can't succumb to somebody else's injury.

Thanks for that . Anything remotely constructive to add to the thread , maybe ?

Manchester United have contacted Real Madrid for Luka Modric. (Sky Italia)

I think the Cesc bid was a smokescreen.

The Chelsea fans absolutely LOVE him and they know better than any of us .

Thankfully Jose doesn't rate him , I've seen reports for weeks that he's happy to ship him out .

As to him going forward and joining attacks , that's where Busqs comes in - to fill in any gaps .

Pretty sure Jose wants Moderic , that's why he's happy to lose Mata .

Real won't sell Modric and even Modric doesn't want to leave..United should should stop bullshitting arround and bid for possible options..

Barcelona have several centre back alternatives for Thiago Silva. Liverpool player Daniel Agger (28) is one of the main ones. [md]

Why am I not surprised?

I wouldn't mind Agger, at all. He was solid this past season.

 

[raskolnikov]

Getting Agger is logical, he would not be our best target and we will still have defensive problems but its the best the most realistic possibilities we currently have.
How much would he cost?

 

[Irish_Cules]

Modric to United would be a decent move for everyone involved. Madrid don't really need him with the arrival of Isco and Illara this summer.

I agree. Everybody centre back we have been linked with have their drawbacks; Silva's price tag, Marquinhos' inexperience, Luiz's unpredictability etc. Agger would be a very solid and sensible signing.

 

[SeloBarca]

Feel more like a bandaid solution

 

[Cruijffista]

Agger is a decent option. Not getting a new CB would be disastrous.
