that should be the focus imo, i would even take Bentley but only as a squad player with more to come
Dream on. Where are we going to get the money from?

that could be a problem aye but if it is then Rafa should come out and tell us that he has to operate under new financial constraints and act like Wenger in the transfer market, then we as fans can lower our expectations and monitor the quality of cheaper players

Re: Sebastián Eguren will be joining us in the summer
According to the video he's a 'matchvinnare'. That's good enough for me.

When do we start killing people?

I've already lowered my expectations. I don't see how we can do anything else in the current climate.

Rafa should be sacked for allowing this rumour to spread. It's unacceptable!

Re: Sebastián Eguren will be joining us in the summer
This thread is an embarassment.

Some random comes out with a completely unfounded rumour and straight away the manager is getting crucified.

Thats without anyone having any insight into the financial constraints he's working under or any other transfer targets we may be in for.

Remington may have good intentions and be posting in good faith but he's never posted anything like this before so until this Uruguayan signs I'll remain a sceptic (no offence)

As Mrs Doyle would say, 'Eguren, eguren, eguren, eguren etc etc'.

Careful now.

Re: Sebastián Eguren will be joining us in the summer
What's the point in signing him?

We're well stocked at centre-mid and even if Alonso were to leave in the summer, I'd rather see Plessis or even Guthrie be promoted to the first team as cover and pool the cash together to buy either a decent pair of full-backs or a winger.

Because it seems he plays more than one position, which would give us cover in a number of positions and allow us to sell more players with having a smaller risk - Pennant, Crouch Alonso -, both financially and in a footballing sense. We could cut the wage bill of a number of players too and get a transfer fee. His wages would be relatively small. I don't see why people are getting so worked up about a rumour, even if it's true, it's £2 million and I doubt he will be the only signing; it's even more maddening given that we are relatively skint and it could actually be a clever way of freeing funds. I'm not particularly pleased about it but there is some logic to it because he plays in two positions.

It is okay saying he can play in 2 positions but there is just a small problem with that. Is he actually any GOOD in those positions? If he turns out to be a bag of shite and the omens aren't good at all then we will have wasted 2m which could have gone towards obtaining a better player with the rest of the money we have available. I would rather us buy one or two players who go straight in to the team rather than 5 or 6 who are gonna float round the squad all season playing 15 games each or whatver.

It isnt about this specific player it is about the way Rafa has done business in the past. The mancs are obviously going to spend big, Chelsea DEFINITELY will and even Arsenal are sure to spend a few quid. We need to be competing at the top end of the market instead of these middle of the road players who the rest of the top 4 wouldnt even piss on.

Where are we supposed to find the money to compete at the top end? The lad will rarely play, like Pennant rarely plays, like a lot of our back up, they will be bit part players. If we want to improve the first team, we need to sell players because we won't be given the cash, we'll be looking to sell players that have a decent value but aren't guar
