Yeah but constantly rotating players can cause disruption to the chemistry being build in the team....especially in the midfield

take a look at how many goals we were giving up when we kept rotating Hugo and Brad, we stick to one and we see the difference now. (although there are a few other things that have effected this but only using as an example).
Dont really agree with this man u rarely field the same team two games running and their chemistry is one of the things that makes a fairly average man u team, by their standards, greater than the sum of it's parts imho

Ah, I had a dream last night that we bought Belhanda for £2.5m.

Was so disappointed when I woke up. :(

hahaha, 2.5m??? that's like those dreams where you bang megan fox, the one with the nice thumb of course, not the other one (y)

No.

He is 26 now soon to be 27. His value will start to depreciate as soon as sign him.

But levy has to realise signing moutinho and getting champions league will attract bigger names.

no shit. that's some incisive, well thought through comment. Email Levy and ask for a job - the football club could do with your knowledge no doubt. :rolleyes:

Its not a feasible business model for a club of our size though. The more players we sign in their prime the less of them we will be able to sell-on at a decent fee. We will basically just be throwing money down the drain.

This has probably been mentioned a million times in the past week, but I've not been on here for a while so stuff it...

Holtby is a midfielder who can retain possession, link up play and create chances, and has cost relatively sod all...so in Levy's eyes, do we now need to shell out upwards of £15 mill on Moutinho???

Just a thought.

Thats what I'm thinking aswell, but it will be closer to or above £20 million if we want him. Sign Holtby this window (their manager is baiting for this to happen) and then work on the Leandro deal for king and country. If Holtby doesn't work out or needs time to adapt look at Moutinho or a different player in the summer again. Thats what I would do, but hey, who the fuck am I?

Levy needs to realise that there's not a single signing out there that will guarantee that but plenty who can guarantee your future is fucked.

Chelsea spent 75m last January and went from 4th to 6th.
