January Transfers 2013

Mirror saying West Brom want Coates on loan.

 

Ideal loan for him Clarke knows him, he will get PL experience and we can see if he can hack it. It makes sense on so many levels which is exactly the reason that it wont happen.

[Gym Beglin]

Agree. The deal is too good, we need to sabotage it. Perhaps insist that West Brom pay £4m a month as a fee.

 

Liverpool in shit executive decisions shocker.

[Anubis]

So you think your comments were funny?

Christ

 

No. I don't necessarily think everyone would find them funny because everyone has different humour levels.

 

However I know they weren't racist.

Are you taking the piss? Nigeria is not the capital of Africa. It's not the capital of anywhere because it's not even a city ya twat.

 

Here's a simple rule of thumb for you: when a place name ends in 'ia' it means it's obviously an Eastern European state; CroatIA, SlovakIA, RussIA etc. Nigeria is on the Baltic Sea, bordered by Latvia to the south and India and California to the north and west.

 

A good post in full.

 

Not sure about the first bit here. Does Nigeria have a cathedral? Pretty sure its a city.

 

Your theory on IA endings does seem to have some palpable credence. However, it does fall down with Nova Scotia. Which I believe is African for New Scotland.

No, you are thinking of a basilica which is in Rome. Rome is indeed a city because it hasn't got a basilicia since the fall of communism when it was Romania. Same thing with Scotland where communism faded out after Karl Mac was overthrown.

Keep practising Woy, it's Rrrussia, not Whooshia.

[Nightcat]

As Walcott renews his contract, Llorente is on the verge of joining Juve.

 

The good summer bosmans start to disappear.

[Trumo]

Vegard Forren is a bloody jinx. First he brings the Noggie weather with him, then the manager of the club he's about to join gets the sack!

[Geraghty]

The Telegraph are reporting that Liverpool have made an initial offer of £8m for Inter Milan midfielder, Philippe Coutinho.

 

Bascombe says Rodgers' interest in Coutinho stems from his frustration in not being able to sign Thomas Ince from Blackpool this window.

 

Why go for Ince first?Coutinho is class.

 

Any one know if he is getting games this season?

Very exciting if true!

He looked class around the time Rafa was in charge of Inter, when they played Spurs in Champions League and did well at Espanyol last season but he struggles to get in Inter's team when they are a bit shite which raises concerns, still only 20 though

[Frankenhooker]

Is Coutinho that little curly-haired fucker who took the piss when we played Inter under Rafa ? If it is, he looked a right prospect, we couldn't get anywhere near him.

[Anubis]

Fingers definitely crossed on this if true.

[Geraghty]

Barrett just confirmed a bid went in and it was rejected.

 

Ince -Coutinho is mental.

[Torvald Utne]

Seen him play a couple of times when we all became Inter fans/haters for 6 months and he looked class. Not heard much since.

[FrenchEyeGlass]

It was rejected and if we want to buy him we'll have to spend a fair bit more.

 

He is incredibly competent with the ball at his feet. He will walk past players.

[kalasoma]

How much more would he cost? I remember seeing him come on for Inter as a substitute in the Club World Cup I think. Wasn't there an issue with Inter trying to sell him and Rafa wanted to keep him? Hadn't heard much from him since then.

If it was me, I'd not sell for less than 15m

[Unrighteous]

I know nothing about this Coutinho lad.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

Proper low center of gravity. I don't think it's an understatement to say he has as much dribbling skill as Suarez and Messi. Unfortunately, like many others who have that level of dribbling quality, the end product isn't anything like Messi or Suarez. Still, I think he's only 19, so you can't really judge on that just yet.

 

He'd be infinitely preferable to Ince, IMO. He's quick in all the ways Downing isn't. Accelerates like an F1 car. The definition of lightweight, though.

Oh, cool. Sign him up.

You know that kid at school, who was a proper fancy footed fucker, but could just be knocked over by sneezing next to him? That's Coutinho. (To be sung to 'That's Amore').

 

He was a few years ago rated like Lucas Moura was last season and Neymar is now. The next best player ever to kick a football but won't actually be. I posted videos over at the other place.

[The Acolyte]

M'Vila deal to QPR has apparently hit a snag.

Maybe he's discovered the internet and realised he'll be playing in the championship next season.
