Summer 2013 Transfer Thread

[Brigant Moloch]

If Papadopoulos and Alderweireld (oh for fucks sake with these names..) will be our summer signings I'm doing a wankathon

Can't see what that Ilori offers that Martin Kelly doesn't.

Can't see what that Ilori offers that Martin Kelly doesn't.

 

All Martin Kelly does is keep the physio's busy.

 

I am a massive fan, and think he can go on to be a really good player. But, and its a fucking massive double decker bus sized but, his injuries are a huge concern.

 

He made his debut in 2008, and here we are at the end of 2012/13 season and he has made just 54 appearances during that period.

 

If we can bring someone in, who can improve the team - its a no brainer.

No idea about Ilori, but fitness has to be the question mark over Kelly.

Wasn't there problems with Kelly's contract or was that sorted out?

He signed a new deal and Rodgers is a big fan going by his comments.

 

They seem to be trying to keep Kelly fit by giving him a person training programme which has helped Agger and Gerrard this season. I think I have heard he is doing a lot of yoga to help.

 

I also think centre back should help with his injuries as he has had a lot of muscle problems with torn hamstrings etc and he'll have less running to do at centre back than he does at right back.

Thanks LFD - someone had me believe Kelly was holding out for more than was on the table, I'm glad he's signed.

Agreed.

 

The point I was making was that if Kelly isn't going to be a first choice centre half then why bring in another player? I doubt Ilori is going to be signed as a first choice (at least I hope he isn't) so why spend money on exactly the kind of player we already have. Yes, Kelly's injury record is a concern but we would be better off signing experienced cover unless this kid really is something special.

That Greek lad who's 20/21 had knee surgery and has played 10 games all season, he's playing 1st team since he's 15. Massive bloody risk to consider paying £15m for him IMO

True, but it's mostly soft tissue injuries with Kelly, is it not?

That can be sorted with the right training and physical therapy. I think Kelly has a big future at CB as long as he can keep fit.

Who the fuck is Yaya Sanogo?

 

 

Young french striker who plays for Auxerre.

[waddy78]

He is the central midfield powerhouse dynamo extraordinaire that we are missing' date=' I am about 77% sure we would have won the league if we had have got him.[/quote']

 

At only 77% I wouldn't buy him, all our summer signings should give us at least 93.5% of winning the league.(I don't want to put to much pressure on them)

I spoke to my old head chef Portugese a mad Sporting Fan said he dont know much about Tiago Ilori which means hes not among there hottest prospects. Says Kikas and Rubio are the most promising.

They do indeed have high hopes for him. Here he is, modelling their new away kit.

 

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

He don't know much about biology.

[Jairzinho]

What a mongderful world this could be.

[J-V]

I think the last two posts may just be the best in this thread.

[Spy Bee]

What I do know is I love Cou!

[Gym Beglin]

We need a replacement for Carragher, he's shit.

 

Couple of black lads, that's what a top side needs.

Gerrard post match: "If the owners had given us Coutinho and Sturridge at the start of the season, we would have made champions league this year."

 

(Unless I gravely misheard that.)

What?!?!?! Gerrard out, all hail Ayre and the former Woman JW. Ya aint no guts to admit that the owners are always right and forever.

Aren't we still 6th in the form guide since January. That's an idle guess by the way. Either way we are better off with Sturridge coutinho in January than I reckon we would of been with Dempsey sigurdsson in the summer.

[J-V]

Allardyce has been talking about trying to keep Carroll. Make it so Fat Sam.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

3pts from fourth on second half form. Unbelievable really, considering we got 36pts, that'd normally be enough to get fourth (72pts over a season) but it was a high scoring year for the top sides. We let ourselves down with a few draws recently.

 

Going into next season, we'll be one of the more settled clubs. Everton, City, United, and Chelsea will all have new managers. We'll have the same manager, with some new players. If we get those right, we could do really well.
