G.O.A.T.
I think both have made stuff up. That's what the media does. I don't think Red Roman has made up his mind yet and probably won't do so until the season ends, and Mou wants to win the Champions League at Madrid (which he will next season) so there's that.
With that being said, let's turn our attention to summer signings, the most exciting part of the off season. Does anyone foresee any big moves happening? If Mou stays at Madrid, I wonder who he'll sign, as he's given a blank cheque every summer. Madrid are so stacked that they don't need anyone, but they'll sign someone simply because they're Real Madrid. Barcelona probably don't need to sign anyone either but they will because of the new coach. My guess is that they'll drop big bucks on Ericksson or Gotze and then that's it. They do need a left back, though. Perhaps Bale?!!?
No idea about Real Madrid! I think they want defenders from the few things i've read, they said Bosingwa might be an option. Guardiola was said to want to replace a few players and freshen up the squad before he left, i'm not sure if the new manager will be too keen on coming in and breaking the squad up that much. The price Spurs are asking for Bale is just too much though really, I can't see him going.
Chelsea seem to be replacing the big players we had 10 years ago with younger ones, and then bringing them through slowly in the next few years hopefully. Courtois for Cech, Cahill is the same mold as Terry, Bertrand for Cole, Romeu is like Makelele, Ramires gives the energy, legs and power Essien used to before injuries, Lukaku the new Drogba. We've also got a couple of young wide players in De Bruyne and Marin to fill the Duff/Robben role. Who knows if they will be as good, it's unlikely when you think how brilliant everyone has been at different times over the last decade.
The only player who doesn't seem to have a younger one waiting in the wings is Lampard and the box-to-box style that made him one of the top 2 players in the World back in the day. I'd like someone like Gundogan, he's 20 I think and likes to get up and down the field, he scores a few goals in the area from being at the right place at the right time. He'd be good, maybe his team mate Piszczek for right back.
There probably wil be other signings but they usually come out of the blue, Mata seemed to happen in a few days after he was linked with Arsenal all summer, whilst Marin just happened out of thin air it seemed.
