Soccer

>I've made it clear before that I'm not a fan of the massive squads and I'd rather have 1 or 2 players that make an immediate impact, like Suarez and I'm happy to have solid youngsters provide the backup. This also makes more sense this year where there is no European games. We have a massive squad now that is full of dross that costs a load in wages and their total minutes of play is very minimal.

They are not just looking to next year's needs in a shortsighted view of the squad,

>You are targeting LB, which is fair enough......so who do you want? I'd suggest Enrique or Baines would be a massive step up, so use the money, pay the price and get one of them in. But I'd suggest that FSG aren't interested in bringing in 4/5 squad players while we still have 4/5 there that we are paying to gather splinters.....and rightly so.

Clichy for under 10m would seem like just as good or a better option than Enrique and suggesting Baines is just clueless considering who he plays for.

If you look at a number of players we are linked with such as wickham, dann, jones, most of them are not what you should dismiss as simply squad players, they are players who we'd expect to be eased into the side gradually like we used to do in the past rather than chucking loads into the side as soon as they are signed.

This summer I'd like to see us bring in 3 more players, 2 starters (including leftback) and one quality attacking young player such as Mata or Hazard.
