Honestly think Mats Hummels would be one of the worst signings we could make this summer. Slow, injury prone, poor season and loses concentration too often for a supposed £30m+ defender. Have never seen the fuss with him.

Now Otamendi on the other hand, is absolutely top class. Reads the game well, great in the tackle, absolute warrior. Reminds me of Vidic. Would be well worth paying the £35m clause. If not him, then Laporte or Varane.

But definitely not Hummels.

{Ed007's Note - I've always been a bigger fan of Subotic than Hummels but I can't see him going anywhere, it looks like he'll be signing a new deal at Dortmund.}

Same here mate. Hummels strikes the wrong chords with me as well. Everyone here seems to go after names. We have brought names, haven't we? Look what has happened. We need tough and fast players to survive the premier league. Look at Chelsea. Depay and hopefully Di Maria will handle the flair department. We need effective players, tough and not injury prone. I'd go for Otamendi, Clyne, Schneiderlin and Berahino. Cue the disagreements.

Otamendi, Clyne and Schneiderlin yes I would go for but i'm not convinced with Berahino, he apparently has attitude issues which is never a good sign, he also has an agent who can be difficult.
First choice forward for me is Lewandowski(no chance) then Benzema (could be possible) both pretty tough and not inury prone.

Yikes. Not sure about the sudden hating of Hummels. I for one still think he would be a great signing. A player doesn't become poor overnight despite having a poor campaign. I agree that there might be younger and less expensive options out there though, but I would be no means be disappointed with the signing!!!

Herbie,
You may he right about Berahino. Can't we take a chance with him? He has all the attributes.

{Ed025's Note - very good player redsoul but a loose cannon, WBA will want top dollar for him which makes it a big gamble imo mate..

28 May 2015 04:21:00
Agree with Herb on Saido Berahino. I think he has talent but his attitude needs addressing before anyone comes in for him. I am also not sold on Clyne. I think he is overrated because he is English and has been shown up in the past few months. The one I do agree with massively is Schneiderlin, top player and he is the lynchpin we are craving.

G.A.G.U.S - Injury prone? in the last 5 seasons he has made the following appearances(not including internation games)

10/11 - 38
11/12 - 40
12/13 - 39
13/14 -29
14/15 - 31

i can't see how he is injury prone, hummels was great in the world cup against the best players in world football, people seem to not want him because of his lack of pace, yet he is one of the best defenders around, reads the game and is not afraid to put a tackle in or come out and play with the ball, everything we are clearly lacking.

28 May 2015 08:53:41
Zaha has just as much talent as Berahino and just as bad an attitude. Zaha couldn't make it at a top club, so why would Berahino?

28 May 2015 09:44:56
how about benteke? we like to cross the ball a lot so why not bring in someone who is used to the prem league, scores goals and is tough enough to be a handful to central defenders.
Not sure about hummels either. The main attriute a defender needs to have is the ability to defend not to pass the ball out of defense. Would prefer Otamendi

Have to disagree with you on your views mate, totally different players. what's wrong with his attitude?

Zaha reminds me of the Harlem Globetrotters version of a basketball player. The truth is those guys are not even remotely good enough for the NBA.

Berahino wants to play at a bigger and better club, nothing wrong with that.

28 May 2015 10:51:23
Dont rate Berahino personally. I'm not a huge fan of Clyne either, both players won't be a major upgrade on what we have.

Is Berahino much better than Wilson? What will happen with Wilson if we sign him?

Is Clyne really much better than Rafael? We say Rafael is injury prone, but who's to say Clyne won't struggle to adapt just like Shaw has? Shaw wasn't injury prone when we signed him.

We need experience and intelligence at the back, I say Janmaat if we sign one, as I don't think we should be spending £25m on a RB when we have CB X2, CM X2 that are more important positions to fill.

In 2 years times Berahino will be rotting at a Newcastle or Palace imo.

The answer to your question is yes they are both much better than what we have and honestly how can you even think rafael and Clyne are almost the same.

Out of curiosity what did wilson do this season for people to think he is going to be something special. I watched him like everyone else and still a long way off being there.

28 May 2015 20:58:55
GCU - sorry missed this mate.

Rafael was a £25m player two seasons ago, just because a manager doesn't fancy him it doesn't mean he isn't very good. We haven't seen him.

I would wager had Wilson played for WBA this season and Berahino for us there would be the same hype the other way around. No striker would look good for us, Wilson has all the attributes of Berahino and as far as I know he isn't carrying the same attitude.
