Similar age? Bego had about 5 years on De Gea. Fair enough but as people on here have pointed out with Given age is not that important with a goalkeeper, I take it you think that De Gea is worth £20 million more than Bego then, we do have a loan carrot as compensation in all fairness. There's a lot of mitigating factors, De Gea is already a better keeper with potential to be one of the greatest, at a bigger club to a bigger club. Higher profile, Spanish (although not sure how 'home grown' works over there). They are just 2 completely different scenarios that can't be compared

Doesn't that depend on who leaves tomorrow? If we sell Walters and Crouch, we all of a sudden look quite light-weight for cover on the wings AND upfront. Pato makes more sense than people are thinking. We have Odem as well for the flanks with Crouchy, Joselu and Diouf up front. Then we have Bojan, Ireland and Adam for the #10 position. Meanwhile we look short in midfield and at centre back. We still don't have 2 viable options for left wing. Afellay doesn't look like he will feature there too often. In fact I am not sure where he will feature once Bojan is back. Crouch could easily go tomorrow along with Walters, leaving us 2 central striking options. Pato, along with Odemwingie, would suppoty both positions. CB we don't "need" it per se. We have plenty of options, what people are not happy with is the quality. The same goes for CM. We have 6 potential players capable of slotting into central midfield and 6 capable centre backs as well. I am not sure how that is "looking short".

To throw a couple of names from the Italian league about. Michael Essien? Sulley Muntari? Christ they must have a combined age of 90.

Did Schalke sack him and he's now a free agent? If they didn't, then the German window closed five hours ago. We can still buy from them, but no they didn't sack him. I think they suspended him and Sidney Sam didn't they? So he'd be available at a nominal price, could gamble on both although I hear he has a dodgy knee...

Why would that be, both last year of contracts 8-|both internationals both pretty much at the top of their game similar age. De Gea has gone to be RM first choice, Bego has gone to be Chelsea's 2nd choice. That's the difference. You don't pay De Gea's fee for a deputy. Do you think we got the right price for Bego then ? good business and all that family jewels for second hand gold scrap price springs too mind.

KPB played more as a number 8 for Shalke. He's good but not amazing. question mark over knees.

IF they've flown in today you'd hope it's pretty close, they wouldn't be coming for a Remy style look round with less than 24hrs to go?

I can't see it being Chris Samba. Isn't he a bit of a unit? I thought we were trying to get a few more ball players at the back. I'll put another name in the mix: Pione Sisto. Move to West Ham has reportedly broken down and his release clause undervalues his pace/talent so a move could be considered "shrewd". He's an absolute beast of a talent mate.

I will make a thread publicly apologising to you if we sign Mat Hummels. You better be fucking sincere Just to clarify we are on about Mat Hummels of Dortmund the CB who played, captained and scored for Dortmund at the weekend? Also the Hummels who is a first team CB for the world champions? And has been linked with the biggest clubs in the world including Madrid and Man Utd.

Are you, like me, basing that entirely on Champ Manager? :) Bought him for £2.5m, sold him 3 years later to Monaco for £55m :)
