Summer Transfers 2014

[cloggypop]

Bony will never be in the same league as Rush for putting the ball in the net.

 

Not many players are to be fair.

 

He has adapted to a different country better though.

[Lario]

Anyone hear/see Van Gaal's interview before their game this evening?

 

Cutting through the bullshit, he said they mightn't need to sign anyone before the end of the transfer window!

 

Now, he's either the mentalist we all believe and he genuinely thinks he can turn all those sow's ears into silk purses, or all the talk of hundreds of millions available to spend on players was utter shite.

 

[Trumo]

Of course they're going to sign players, despite what Van Gaal says. Without know who, I reckon they'll still bring in at least one player that costs them over £25m. It won't be quite the same as Arsenal bringing in Ozil to try and quell the fans' dissent (they did that with the Mata signing last season) but you can bet they'll want to make at least one 'statement of intent' signing.

True, but Rush will never be in the same league as Bony when it comes to wearing leopard print hats....

 

[J-V]

Like he needed another reason not to sign him.

[cloggypop]

He must be a Maus fan

 

[Torvald Utne]

oh my god, what an absolute cunt

[Ne Moe Imya]

In regards to saying that Bony doesn't fit out profile in terms of what he does, I remember the Alonso/Gerrard analogy I read a few years ago. Basically Alonso is a master safe cracker who will plug away trying to pick the locks for hours whilst Gerrard would just twat it with a sledgehammer till the doors fell off. Well Bony is the sledgehammer, not a fancy one like Gerrard but one that'll do the job sufficiently. Just because we got loads of safe crackers doesn't mean a sledgehammer won't come in handy.

 

Wasn't this basically the argument that led to Andy Carroll?

[El Dangerous]

I dunno, I reckon in the 90's inspired soul boy band that is our forward line Bony will fit in nicely as the stocky one with character to Sturridge's lead singer and Ibe and Sterling's 'something for the teenie boppers'. Might throw in Coutinho as well to do a 'Louise.'

[Dr Nowt]

If wearing dodgy clobber is a reason not to want a player we're gonna need to shed a lot of our existing ones, starting with Terence Trent West Derby himself, Daniel Sturridge.

 

Thankfully there are far more reasons people don't want Bony, so just a minor point of order.

[cloggypop]

He is not like Andy Carroll.

 

He is a footballer.

[El Dangerous]

Wasn't this basically the argument that led to Andy Carroll?

Probably, and we would have pulled it off if he wasn't absolute shite.

[JaminKibbler]

Isla is going on loan to qpr, should have been all over that

[Spy Bee]

We will be relying upon Sterling, a 19 year old  and Markovic with 26 games.

 

The difference between us , City and Chelsea will be the proven matchwinners like Aguero and Silva/Fabregas and Hazard, not some brute upfront.

 

Yep, and you win nothing with kids.

[moof]

That Bony looks like one cool motherfucker

[Bjornebye]

You mean this. Half of his probably came when he was at Anderlecht

 

Surely torres had scored more?

[Josef Svejk]

Freddie Adu scored 328 league goals before he turned 12. Fuck Lukaku...

[PestiRed]

Surely torres had scored more?

Torres Owen Fowler etc etc should all be on that list but it appears to be highly selective

[Dr Nowt]

...but it appears to be highly selective

The Toffees? Say it ain't so.

[Trumo]

They even left out 'Better than Owen' Cadamarteri and Jug-Ears Jeffers from their own selective list. Hadn't they both scored over 2 million goals each before the age of 21?

[sir roger]

I'm like JaminKibbler in being surprised that Isla isn't being looked at by a better side than QPR.

 

Would be useful to us in that he can play both sides as wing back / full back.

[Pidge]

Was that actually drawn up by the blues... that's hilarious. Another one for the musuem display that.

[Phoenix]

Yep, and you win nothing with kids.

Close to two decades ago . Standard of football has changed

[G Richards]

Not many players are to be fair.

 

He has adapted to a different country better though.

 

I dunno. I thought Rushie did quite well in England when he came from Wales!

[El Dangerous]

Expect the DVD 65 and counting. Lukaku's goals that is, not Rooney's choice of prostitute.
