Also Madrid have agreed a £33.6m for a midfielder from Sociedad, Asier Illarramendi. Barely watch any La Liga so don't know much about him, must have something about him though.

Regarded as being the new Xavi/Iniesta, not sure which one.

Blackburn have sold Olsson to Norwich.

#87591 Transfer Rumours 2013/14

Will be really interesting next season. New managers for last season's top three teams, plus Liverpool coming from behind and now midtable teams like Norwich, Swansea, Soton and Sunderland buying good, good players. Newcastle will definitely have a better season I reckon, Aston Villa building on last season performance so I think it will be tough, really tough... Especially the fight for relegation. Fulham, Crystal Palace and Hull are relegation contenders for me.

Parker and Livermore are not creative at all. Dembele is, but we don't need another midfielder though, we need strikers.

I think Chadli is the more likely to happen. Eriksen is wanted by a few I think

Why would we need a midfielder though.

Christian Eriksen is close to joining one of either Liverpool or Spurs, Along with Chadli to Spurs.

Oh my god, if that's true, why would we buy two more midfielders?

It depends what you want from your striker really. Bent isn't going to give you much in terms of build-up play, the rest of the team has to work for him. From what little i saw of Benteke he looked a lot more involved in build-up play and creating his own opportunities.

Benteke is more like a Target Man, Bent is likely to play as a Poacher.

Meanwhile West Ham considering a move for Downing lol.

Benteke is a better player than Bent and he would suit the style your lot play now. Bent wouldn't fit in a top team now but I would love to be proven wrong if he moves to Newcastle

Benteke is a good player but he's not proven yet to be a world class striker in Premier League. One good season doesn't mean anything (for eg Cisse). So I'd rather bring in Bent than Benteke, Bent is a proven goalscorer (Aston Villa, Sunderland) and for 5m he's a steal.

If Martinez went to Stoke and tried to impose his style of play, he'd have to buy an entirely new squad. You can't teach thugs like Whelan and N'Zonzi short, possession football.

So from what I've read on different forums, AVB wants to test his favorite 4-3-3 which would look like this:

Lloris
Walker - Vertonghen Dawson - Rose
Sandro Dembele Paulinho
Defoe Villa Bale

Looks pretty solid imo, decent strike force. We're also linked with Mkhitarian (spelled wrong I think), reports saying the player's agent held talks with our representatives for 25m move.

I agree about the strikers, that was the problem last season. As for left-back we have Rose, should be given a chance. I'd buy two strikers and eventually a creative midfielder, we really missed that Modric brilliance this season as well.
