Summer 2013 Transfer Thread

[Jairzinho]

No way would any of those players get in our team.

 

Yes, quite right. Completely out of the question.

[moof]

I think those teams have a few players who'd get in our side, like Pablo Hernandez or Brian Ruiz but I think the likes of Sturridge are quite clearly on a different level to any of the strikers from teams that finished below us last season. He's better than anything Everton and Arsenal have, too. I don't know who I'd prefer between him and Soldado. I'd probably go with Sturridge because he has more pace.

I'd go with Soldado, 100%. Much better footballer.

 

Probably only Van Persie and Aguero I'd have before him in the league. He'll get bucketloads this season.

[Anubis]

Oh no they haven't.

 

Oh yes they have.

 

Oh no they wouldn't.

 

Oh yes they would.

 

 

Just improved that little exchange.

[TheHowieLama]

Oh no you didn't.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

He's behind you.

[dennis tooth]

Sturridge is just another Jermain Defoe and picks up a lot of injuries. You cant bank on him over a season if you are serious about CL.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

And here's Widow Twankey to complete the pantomime.

[fowler9]

apparently entire Anzhi squad has been transfer listed

 

Lassana Diarra as competition for Lucas?

Ha.

No (didn't he have an issue with his blood) but I'd take Eto'o and Willian.

Sturridge was not good enough for City and Chelsea in the Top Four and has found his level with us.

 

As a player who can mount a top four tilt, he has a place. He has something to prove at the top, I hope he stays the course.

Ok, I think that's nonsense.

[kopman]

Barca put in a £ 17 mill bid for Agger according to ekstrabladet.dk. The story is also run on liverpool.no

[J-V]

Ok, I think that's nonsense.

 

It is. Considering he was the one who decided to leave City. He played well for Chelsea when used. Unfortunately for him when a club like Chelsea pay big money for other forwards they will use them even if they are performing shite.

[fowler9]

Ok, I think that's nonsense.

 

Particularly considering he'd have been Chelsea's first choice striker had it been down to performance rather than being the owner's 50million project

I agree with you.

Sorry, but that's twisting Sturridge's career a bit.

 

City wanted to keep him, Chelsea poached him, then through a procession of managers and an unsettled squad failed to offer him a decent run, whilst a £50m man who couldn't hit a barn door had to be played. Neither side during Sturridge's time was a model designed to foster the talent of an up and coming international.

 

I really don't get why so many of our fans still seem to view Sturridge with suspicion. When played consistently as a CF, here and at Bolton, he's produced.

According to the guardian they've offered £35 mill for David Luiz.

As well as also doing excellently in the only real run he had in Chelsea's team despite playing on the right

Purely because he was reasonably priced.

[Tyler Durden]

Outstanding bit of business he was for me, he won't always be the best player but he will get you 20 goals a season if fit I think. You can't really ask for more then that. What we need are more players to compliment him

[MLB]

I think Sturridge will be one of the top 3 scorers in the league next season if he stays fit.

[Babb'sBurstNad]

Purely because he was reasonably priced.

 

Yeah, that's probably part of it. If he was £20m and plucked from an obscure league though, with his goals to games ratio for us, i swear everyone'd be ecstatic.

There seems to be a desire to be totally negative about everything. If we spend, we are wasting money, if we don't it's because the owners are cunts. We shouldn't like Coutinho because he's going to fuck us off for being shit.

 

Negativity doesn't mean reality.
