Willian Borges da Silva

[Ronnie Whelan]

Have to say spurs would seem to have bought well and are probably building a better team, even if they lose bale. However, they are losing one of the best players in the world and all their signings ave little experience of the premiership. If they don't make the top 4, then they are royally twatted.

 

There is still time to get in a few players. I'm very impressed with someone like Toure. Maybe cissokho will be another find. You look at the mancs under whiskey nose, their two best pound for pound signings were probably Irwin and Schmeicheal.

There was a time when we could not compete with Chelsea and United for players. Now we can't compete with Spurs and our star player was pushing for a move to Arsenal all summer. But the TV rights income has doubled this summer.

 

Disgusting.

I have actually seen both Miki and Willy play quite a lot and I don´t like the fact that they will end up w the spuds. I will suffer from ptsd after this transfer window. Now where´s the razorblade I´m going to cut my wrists.....

Who's Miki?

[dennis tooth]

If you get given a cheque for £80m quid, then buying two players for £30m isn't really that much of a statement. Some Spurs fans are actually thinking that Bale is staying alongside Lamela and Willian.

 

What if he stays though or are you pinning all your hopes on the idea?

[Whelan]

Then they have spent £130m! And we can't afford that. So no.

[Mustangt125]

Embarrassing. If I was a betting man I'd be hitting on Spurs to get top 4....their squad looks way better than ours and Arsenal's.

 

We just look like fucking idiots.

 

LFC VERY confident of Mkhitaryan deal

LFC VERY confident of Costa deal, player wants switch.

LFC VERY confident on Willian, player keen.

 

Here is what I dont get. Friday night it was reported we basically had a 30M offer accepted, player was very keen. So why not FINISH the deal Friday night, versus risking letting another club come in overnight and take him?

 

Our negotiators are idiots. We should try and sign Levy.

 

Think at this point we won't be seeing a big signing coming in. Cissokho on loan CL here we come.

[Gym Beglin]

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.

 

Totally agree. The player doesnt get better just because his price goes up.

We offer a 'fair' price, not taking the piss, but a good value and wage. If he doesn't want it then he's obviously got more on his mind than football. Mind you, joining Anzhi was a very good indication that he's all mouth and no trousers. Look how much I cost, look how much I earn, and look at me nutmeg a couple of Russian binmen.

 

I think all pessimism should be banned from the site, the fans and the team dont deserve to suffer through all this moaning and whining. It's just football, for gods sake, and these are just players, just humans, there are very few T1000's around, and Spurs just sold one. If Willian, Lamela, Paulinho, Chadli and co are so good then Madrid would have bought them instead of Bale... :whistle:

Even if a deal is more or less done its an agents duty to do his due diligence to see if there is a better offer available elsewhere.

 

 

Paul Dalglish‏@pauldalglish2h

Agents offer the players to 10 different clubs. We just can't keep secrets and end up getting fans excited and then disappointed.

[Mojo]

Willian could be a lucky escape. So many on here were saying they can't see a 30 mill player on YouTube, but now suddenly there is no doubt.

 

He looked worryingly non-aggressive to me for the Premier League. I would be happier with Turan, who has more aggression than Willian and better ball control than Costa. Of course, time could prove all of this wrong -- in the end there is an element of risk, but you have to admit that 30 mill on potential is a lot unless you have Bale money. Remember a certain young Geordie striker whose signing has blotted King Kenny's glorious career?

[smilezzz]

No' date=' 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.[/quote']

 

Its true. I saw it on the Wikipedia.

[swampthing]

Who's Miki?

 

Miki = Mkhitaryan. I know, I know he´s at Dortmund....

[Whelan]

I'd rather be dissapointed in trying for someone special, than content signing someone average. It feels shit right now, but i'm already looking forward to seeing Sturridge, Coutinho and Stroppy Arse, another of similar ilk will do me.

[Major Tom]

Miki = Mkhitaryan

 

Oh.

 

He's not going to Spurs.

[smilezzz]

Miki = Mkhitaryan

 

He doesn't play for spurs.

 

Keep up man!!!

[swampthing]

See, it´s PTSD!!! I´m totally confused....

[moof]

Are we even linked to Turan? I'd love him here, obviously.

Other than getting 5 players this window, you mean?

Mostly squad players, as the manager even said himself....

Ah well, this buying players thing isn't for us then. It's practically impossible. We'll have to grow our own.

[Major Tom]

Is he good, moof? I have seen little of him. Does he play wide? So Coutinho can move into the centre, like.

[smilezzz]

I'd say they play in the same position, central attacking mid, but with the ability and skill to play wide

[ZonkoVille77]

I wasn't being serious. I think too many people are blowing this way out of proportion. Couldn't care less if we signed Willian or not. Seems money motivated to me and I can't be arsed with players like that in the squad.

 

I'll be more concerned if we don't buy another experienced centre half.

[Whelan]

Ah well, this buying players thing isn't for us then. It's practically impossible. We'll have to grow our own.

 

Yeah exactly! Finally someone has understood exactly what my point was!

 

Because that is what I said. I said quite clearly, lets not bother signing players as it's devilishly difficult and agents get involved just like Paul Dalglish is saying, so lets not bother.
