For Chelsea:

Santi Cazorla - 18 Million - 3 Backers Please?

I've got a better winger on my list but I think I'll leave him for others, only fair seeing as this isn't my bid

Argh Cazorla! backed.

Dinho backed.

Rdinho tbc 15.08

Last one for Sunderland

Benzema - £20m backers pls.

There goes the last top striker...

Backed.

Benzema needs equal to Eto'o - can't remember what that was but it was over 20m

E'too ended up being £35m

I'd have Benzema as a £20m player...

Arbeloa confirmed

I'm loving my front 3:

------------ Aguero ------------------------------- Di Maria ---------
------------------------------- Higuain ------------------------------

Argies

Although its the rest of the team I'm worried about, I need to get 3 players for around 10m each then wait till releases to get the other 2

Thought Eto'o was 25m I'll back 20m then

I took Eto'o for £30 mill

Don't think Benzema is as good as Eto'o tbh. £20m, 1 more backer pls.

thought there was another argie that started in the front three.......whats his name???

Veloso confirmed.

Well I did bid for him Bathite

Although you can't have it all, Aguero ain't a bad replacement for him is he?

Chivu confirmed.

only messing dude! like all those players

messi still not proved himself for argentina in a big tourney yet!

(expecting abuse)

Benzema tbc 15.12

True Bathite - the one thing he hasn't done.

I'd take Xavi over Messi...

its the curse of the nike advert!

Ronaldinho confirmed.

No abuse from me, your absolutely right Bathite

Not sure if its the freedom he gets at Barca and the lack of it at Argentina being the reason he doesn't turn it on for his country, or its just the players around him, either way its a strange one

I'd say it is a bit of all those points Follow.

read i really good article about him recently, maybe by the bbc south american football writer, can't remember his name, phil something i think. it said how the argies consider messi as a catalan and are frustrated by him, don't have any real affiliation to him as he went so young and had no impact on footy back home.

Benzema confirmed.

What is Tim Vickery Bathite?

foreigns tomorrow at 9am?

Yeah FootballCrazy.

TIM VICKERY! thats the fella, going to try and find the article

yeah Luke I'd say one goes with the other, the better players he has at Barca allows him more freedom I guess

Yeah I saw that article Bathite, his name is Tim Vickery I think, and its something I'd have to agree with. Some Spanish supports don't like Puyol due to his passion to Barcelona and to Catalonia, and its the same with Messi, no question

http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/timvickery/2011/05/messi_the_perfect_combination.html

Think thats it

It's weird with the Argies though - so much talent - maybe too much.

Look at their bench the other day in the Copa America.

Á. di María
S. Agüero
J. Carrizo
E. Garay
P. Zabaleta
G. Higuaín
M. Andújar
N. Pareja
L. Biglia
J. Pastore
F. Gago
D. Milito

More than half of those would walk into the English side.

The players they left behind at the last WC was astounding!

Funny how they and brazil tend to have such strength in depth in some areas, but then so short in others and end up playing that Newcastle RW at LB or Gilberto Silva at CB!

I'd agree Luke, I think their problem is too much talent to cope with, I mean Higuain, Pastore, Aguero and Di Maria all on the bench, how many of those will command a start next game? Aguero came on and scored so he'll have to play next game, yet who do they drop?

Its crazy

Great point - it is weird. Argie's struggle at the back at the minute - G.Milito starting for them when Pep would seem to play himself than him at Barce. And Brazil having Lucas as their main DM these days.

Both Brazil & Argentina are overloaded with attackers but no defenders, as you'd expect to be fair.

Ezequiel Garay
Pablo Zabaleta
Nicolas Andres Burdisso
Gabriel Milito
Javier Adelmar Zanetti
Nicolás Pareja
Faustino Marcos Alberto Rojo
Marcos Angeleri

This is the Argentina list of defenders for the Copa America

And their number 1 GK is Romero...

Aston Villa have also missed foreigns BTW

Love sacks.

Moutinho £14m backers pls.

Backed.
