Llorente would be a start, it would also convince RVP to stay.

Or he would replace RVP...

Thank God for the Hazard decision can't stand these long drawn out discussions of will they won't they sagas. Personally I think we stopped head-hunting Hazard after we signed Podolski (guy who can play left-wing and striker).

As far as promising youngsters much preferred Gotze to Hazard, give Walcott some much needed competition and if Wenger wants can start playing Walcott in his beloved striker role knowing we have a quality winger

[sreddi11]

Also I wonder how Chelsea are gonna fit Mata, Hazard, Torres, Sturridge, Lampard, Malouda, De Bruyne and Lukaku together????

I smell in-fighting

He isnt even that good on FM.

You cannot be serious!? From AML, as a winger, he has been the World PLayer of the Year 3 times running from the second season onwards.

Lets not get upset about Hazard, or we'll need to create an even bigger ****storm when/if RvP leaves

On a transfer related note, here's my current team of "players that twitter has said we might sign"

Udjus
Debuchy Mbiwa Vertonghen Radu
M'Vila Capoue
Kagawa Hazard
Giroud

I'm missing a right winger. I could probably cover that by going 4-4-2, playing Hazard on the right and bringing in the ridiculous Llorente rumour, but the team balance would be poor.

1) that was a totally unfounded rumour
2) there's no way (if it was true) that they'd both be at the club..

Easy, sturridge and torres for striker.
Malouda ****s off to PSG as soon as possible.
Lukaku gets loaned out.
Lampard reassumes DM role he was playing in last season and shuffles with meireles. Mikel competes with romeu or essien(the latter being out of form so wouldn't be too much competition for mikel or romeu)
De bruyne wasn't going to be used as the main player so quickly.

That leaves, marin, mata, hazard, ramires and de bruyne for the 2 winger and AM spots. With sturridge there as backup in an injury crisis otherwise he'll play as the striker.

Some sense here in this post, that guy has obviously not played FM for more than 3 seasons.

It was just an answer to how we could compete for the top three. RVP wants us to sign top players, Llorente is as big as we would get. They could both play up front.

It doesn't matter, it wont happen.

I don't think wenger will ever pay above 20 million for a player until he retires.

I have never signed him because I dont think his stats are worth blowing almost my entire transfer budget. Maybe he is one of those who performs better than what the numbers say (*cough* Carlos Vela *cough*). Plus I have Wilshere in my main Arsenal save.

[Novastream]

Chelsea dont have a manager therefore it had to be abramovich which made the decision.
What the hell does this guy make decisions on? Hype? Assistant advice? Youtube?
Lets hope its another Shevchenko/Torres -esque acquisition.
Lets be honest here, if he was worth the price, Jose Mourinho would have signed Hazard for Real.

You could add Kaka to that now too.

Yeah, that's how it is in FM with gotze, hummels and the other ****load of players in FM, cheaper alternatives, no need to buy big names.

Oh yeah vela was a don for me at real sociedad, got 11 league goals and went on a nice run of form playing with diego ifran up top. Couldn't renew his contract, got gavranovic eventually anyway and eventually stopped playing with strikers.

Vela has interesting stats, he isn't too bad in all honesty.

Yeah, where he'll have to displace one of ozil, kaka, di maria or ronaldo to become a starter for the team while granero and callejon can put in a good shift for the team too as backups who won't mess up team dynamics from lack of playing time? Real do not need another winger or AM.

Oh, and yeah, he'll just buy a player who got french league player of the season 2 years in a row, got 20 goals and even more assists for his team? We know he's been bad with some signings when spending big, but most have been pretty good.

And Marin, with the possibility of Hulk joining as well Hazard said his choice was to get the most game time, but faces more competition at Chelsea for a place than he would of done everywhere else. City he would of gone straight to wing, United to an AM position. It was a obviously a money move, and as a City fan I'm glad we didn't pine to his wage demands, like we would of done a season or so ago.

Eh?
Silva and nasri, aguero, balotelli, tevez.
Silva and nasri would take the winger positions. Hazard doesn't want to be on the wing.
Forget malouda. Really the only competition is mata and marin.

So where does that leave him at Chelsea then? Is he going to take Mata's position at Chelsea? No - and if he does, where would that leave Mata? On the bench. Hazards going to have to play wing or play in rotation.

[Kruz]

On FM12 he's quality, but this is real life and it's different.
