I dunno why Chelsea don't just play with Lukaku as their main striker all the time, and rotate the other guys. He'll eventually be better than Diego Costa.

Won't matter a thing when Wenger wraps it in in 2 years and Arsenal come calling...

Hmm I dunno, they all seemed to work their socks off regardless of the poor attacking player - Neymar was absolutely fucked when he came off he never stopped, neither did Oscar, Luis Gustavo or the two wingbacks.

It was a disjointed performance for sure but to write them off for it would be silly.

Viana would make a great Enganche if you play with one.

And you're almost certainly right. As it's unlikely a £20m+ player will ever be willing to come to Newcastle.

But I think Newcastle would be prepared to pay for the right player. It is unlikely that a 'right player' will be available. So I guess one way or the other it will be impossible to prove.


I think Cabella is worth a lot closer to the €16m they quoted than the €8m we bid, and we certainly won't go over €10m.

I think with getting Cabaye for around £4m Mike Ashley expects to find quality players for under 5m which is very rarely the case now.

I wouldn't really fancy signing strikers from the Bundesliga after what's happened to Cisse - bar the top 4 it's a pretty poor league.

I'd rather have Lacazette.

Lukaku is much better than Carroll, and Newcastle got £35m for him. And Spurs got £30m for Berbatov, £40m for Modric and £80m for Bale depending on if you class them as a big club.

I reckon if Newcastle signed Lukaku and he had a good couple of seasons, at least one massive club would pay through the nose for him.


Carroll is English - the pricing system on English players doesn't apply to foreign players.

I'd be willing to bet a lot of money Mike Ashley will never pay over 20m for a player while he's in charge of Newcastle.

Neymar is a cheating cunt as well, we all knew it so I dunno why people are so surprised that he dives and elbows people and stuff?

It's hard to referee games when people are flinging themselves to the floor over slight contact.

I thought Neymar had a decent game, few decent dribbles.

Luiz played well after his early howler, too.

We couldn't though.

If we buy for 20m and he does well we'll sell for around 25m.

When was the last time a small club sold a player for more than 40m in the Premier League?

I really don't think we'd go for someone for over 10-12m ish.

No resale value for anyone higher really.

He'd be great for someone like Newcastle or Swansea, midtable striker getting around 12-15 goals a season.

Any higher than that and you'd want better imo.

That being said, Sturridge took everybody by surprise when he went to Liverpool - so I suppose we can't really write Welbeck off until he has a full season of being first choice centre forward. At the minute though, he's bang average, and should only be starting for England because of his work rate, nothing else.

Was that the season he scored 9 in 30? With the service you get at Man Utd a top level player should be scoring way more than that.

His best attributes are his work rate and his tracking back though, so it's only right people praise him for that. He's not known for his passing, excellent touch or dribbling ability - because he hasn't shown enough of it. His record of 29 in 139 for Man Utd is just not good enough. It's completely bang average.

I think it'll be a lot closer than the betting suggests. Croatia aren't bad. Their centre midfield with Kovacic and Modric is probably better than Brazils.

Still, I think Brazil will shade it by a goal.

I just don't understand what he brings to the table that Barkley and Sterling don't?

Both of those players have the same goal threat or thereabouts.

Welbeck is rated about right in England now, after the huge hype for him has died down. He's a 5/10 footballer, 7/10 on a good day. His statistic's don't exactly set the world on fire, either.

It's only really Man Utd fans that rate him highly in terms of technical ability, most people agree he's a good player based on his work rate and willingness to track back though.

Lacazette would be awesome.

Watched him albeit only twice last season and he was great on both occasions.

I honestly have no idea why people keep saying this, he's incredibly technically proficient.


Not enough to play on the wing in anything other than a workhorse winger type player.

Lallana/Sterling/Barkley are all way ahead of him in terms of dribbling and beating players.

Possibly, but football isn't played with statistics. It's played with a football.

4 of Welbecks 5 competitive england goals have came against Moldova and San Marino.

He's a good work horse but nothing else. Sterling/Lallana/Barkley all offer more going forward.
