Willian Borges da Silva

[therevivalist]

The bbc have been absolutely shambolic this summer

 

Second that.

[therevivalist]

More great news.

 

Couldn't help laughing out loud there.

[Gym Beglin]

Look at a video of Willian and Lamela, then look at a video of Suarez, or Bale, or Van Persie, Robben, Sneijder, Messi, etc etc

 

They aren't buying superstars, they're buying potential.

[Whelan]

There is no positive here.

 

I'm not criticising anyone at the club because I don't know the details. I'm just gutted that we keep losing out on targets. It either points to us having issues with closing deals or we just aren't a pull any more. Either way, it's bad news.

 

We are showing ambition - the kind of ambition we should have shown in 2011 rather then spend money on a load of overpriced British shite. The bigger achievement as a team was finishing runners up to United in 2009, than winning the league cup, sometimes you have put yourself in a position to be dissapointed rather hand reduce your ambition to avoid being dissapointed.

 

Spurs ambition is on the back of selling Bale, their best player - nothing more and lets not forget that.

[WhiskeyJar]

I've never knowingly seen him play if I'm honest. It's just continually missing out on targets that I'm finding depressing. Missing out on one to Spurs offering what is a similar package is a grim reality check.

 

Ok I get that mate, but here is thing though:

 

The club has shown some ambition to sign that caliber of players without Europe or Champions League. Micky and now Willian have gone to teams that are competing in Europe, whilst Costa signed a contract extension and Papas is still in the wind.

 

Context is needed here.

[magicrat]

Both of us have 3 points and same goal difference so I guess we are....

 

And with L coming before T in the alphabet I suppose we are actually ahead. Great news

[Pureblood]

So what's plan F? Messi?

 

"Liverpool have expressed an interest in Messi and are confident the player wants to join them. The Reds are poised to bid large for the highly rated Barca false 9, whom manager Brendan Rogers visualises playing in a fluid front four with Falcao, Ozil and wantaway gobshite Luis Suarez".

[Block109'er]

I'd be gutted if we lost this lad because he would refer to play for Spurs but I'm be furious if we lost out only on the basis that we were not prepared to match the bid.

 

I mean for fuck's sake, we've spent nothing at all (net) this summer.

 

Show some fucking ambition please.

Souces !!

[diamondjoe]

What's the deal with these mythical scouts from city? Who did they ever scout? Who are they, are they even real? Fuck knows.

Why can't we pick up these players before they are actually costing 30 million+.(coutinho aside)

They all start somewhere and other clubs are seeing the potential.

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

Trust Willian. I could scream and scream ....

And Alberto, and Aspas as well!

[Magic Sponge]

I wanna scream and shout and let it all out.

Maybe Alberto is such a player. And Ibe. And Sterling.

[FrenchEyeGlass]

Our scouts scouted Ibe and Sterling for us, even though they were working for Man City at the time?

 

They're my kind of guys if thats true.

[Dr. J]

Liverpool refused to go above their initial valuation and Willian is White Hart Lane bound as a result.

 

If true, fair enough. First rule of negotiating anything is you have to be willing to walk away. If the club valued the player at x, and only x, then we walked away.

[Major Tom]

They're my kind of guys if thats true.

 

I am sure they'll be pleased with your seal of approval.

[Babb'sBurstNad]

We should put all our eggs into one Arda shaped basket. He's supposedly a big Red too.

Maybe, but don't base it on his wearing a Liverpool shirt with Sahin's name on it. I believe Sahin left here feeling hard done by - don't expect him to sing the praises of Rodgers to Turan.

[FrenchEyeGlass]

I am sure they'll be pleased with your seal of approval.

 

Sorry typo, I meant "what are you on about?"

 

What have Ibe and Sterling got to do with our scouting team's ability to scout a player?

[Babb'sBurstNad]

No, but i'm sure there were some quotes some time ago about him wanting to come here. Probably bullshit, but i'll take any glimmer of hope right about now.

[Barzini]

I've no problem with missing out on him if spurs offered more cash and more wages, in fact I've no problem missing out on him at all as I don't think I've ever seen the cunt kick a ball.

 

Hey ho, hopefully we've got alternatives lined up but it's getting scarily close to the end of the window and I'd imagine prices start to creep up when players move late on.

[Barzini]

Double post.

Not worth my while with you, FEG.

 

Sorry!
