Summer Transfers 2014

There's obviously a lot of assumptions I'm making in there.  I thought people would understand that without me having to add it.

 

My opinion is not based on those assumptions.  He could easily be highly motivated and want to come here for footballing reasons and be a success.  That's fine but I hold my opinion because we are open to what I explained in the first paragraph happening to us.  We wouldn't be open to that going for the up and coming players.  He's going to cost a lot money and he is not a nailed on success.  Nothing is of course but there are too many pointers saying don't do this for me.  As I said it's screaming expensive failure at me.  He's just too much of a risk and he's the wrong side of 25.

£50k/week and every second Tuesday with Linda Henry. 

He can have this Linda Henry for being such a cheeky twat

I agree with that stance, that mostly we should look to get up and coming players who can develop further with us. Which is also what we are doing and have been doing for the last few years. But i'd argue its more or at least equal the risk signing those players than spending more on an already proven top class player. Which Cavani without question is.

Playing as a central forward for Napoli he got over 20 league goals per season. Playing mostly out of position at PSG he still got 16. I dont think he's a risk at all, he is a top quality forward and at 27 he is still pretty far from starting to go downhill age wise.

I'm refusing to panic till the last day of the window when sky sports news announce Carlton Cole is boarding a helicopter to an unknown destination.

Fear not, Ayre usually spends the last day at home.

Normally the best time to buy players is around 22 or 23 when they're obviously really good and just about to become consistently great. It's when we bought most of our successful big money signings. Torres, Suarez, Alonso, Mascherano, etc.

 

However getting experienced players from the cash twat clubs when they get a new toy is also a good idea. Makalele, Robben, Schneider leaving Real Madrid. Eto'o from Barca for example.

She looks like she cound be Cavani's mother.

[Jairzinho]

Or father.

[Pidge]

So if it's bony looking to progress his career to a higher level, we're not being ambitious enough. But if it's cavani looking to play his preferred role we're wasting time on players who have already peaked...

Haha bet you didn't expect that to appear when you'd a cheeky google search of ol john henry's wife!

[Dr Nowt]

Talk of Cavani is more hypothetical than the Zombie Apocalypse GF thread.

 

Never in a month of Sundays will we buy anyone of his standing this summer, or probably any summer until at least after the stadium is finished.

[The Guest]

Not sure if that's aimed at me or not Pidge?  I didn't say anything about Bony.

We have surface to Ayre missiles ready just in case. 

[nando1000]

Name me the worlds top players we have attracted here in the last 20 years.

Torres was a big name

[Philbert]

We have surface to Ayre missiles ready just in case.

Oh, that's good!

I won't panic until we start seeing articles about waiting until January.

We're signing Pjanic in January?

In the post.

Would you Adam and Eve it, United have decided against another of their top summer targets.

 

Aren't they just so very indecisive this window.

 

In other news, looks like Agger's going on loan to Napoli on August 31st then!

[Baltar]

I'd prefer Falcao to Cavani but realistically we've got no chance for either! Think we need one of our scouts to surprise us all and find an affordable gem like we did with Suarez.

Volland is that man. 

[Morning Glory]

Sevilla have confirmed that Moreno is in the Super Cup squad for next week. A kick up the arse to Ayre or is this one off for good, why risk him playing if he is our player? Still 50/50 for me if this has been a good window or underwhelming. Our strategy(?)in replacing Luis is baffling and seems muddled.

[Anubis]

Or a letter from Boston.

But, but they're favourites to land Di Maria for £60m and give him £120k per week (according to The Star)..

And are ready to pay £45m for Vidal, as well as give him £182k per week.

And give Arsenal up to £15m for Vermaelan.

And give Roma £30m for Benatia.

 

World's biggest club dontcha know.

[Babb'sBurstNad]

 

We're signing Pjanic in January?

 

Nah, I've heard he'll be going to Arsenal as he prefers London.

 

Pjanic on the streets of London ...
