Summer Transfers 2014

[JermainePennant]

I thought that being in the CL was supposed to make us attractive to the "right calibre of players"

Sorry but Samuel fucking mercenary geriatric Eto'o is not the right calibre.

Slowly getting more and more pissed off at the increasing likelihood that our transfer committee has fucked up by letting Suarez go without contingency plans set in place for his leaving.

We start out trying for Sanchez, now days from the season starting, we're scrabbling around looking more and more desperate, to the point where it comes out that we are looking at Eto'o as an option.

We have missed out on top players, what is it fans want the club to do now, overpay for average ones?

 

A short term option in eto who could do a job is a better idea for me, we then see what's around in jan and next summer plus we will have origi then.

[zigackly]

I don't think we necessarily need to spend big money 05 Milan, I just don't think we have enough options and Eto'o is past it, sorry.

 

We'll be very lucky if Sturridge spends more than 80% of the season uninjured and on form.

[Gnasher]

I'd put money on Eto scoring more goals per games for us than Drogba will for Chelsea, Soldardo for Spurs or Welbeck for the mancs. As a short term fix Eto's experience of champions league football could be useful Proven goalscorer and big game player.

[zigackly]

The Eto'o of two or three seasons ago, perhaps.

[Megadrive Man]

The Eto'o of six or seven seasons ago, perhaps.

 

fixed.

[CWD82]

Doesn't Sturridge deserve to be our main striker this season? If yes, who do we bring in for big money who is content to sit on the bench?

Spend £10m on a player who is young with potential who can play wide or through the middle and would be happy to learn and develop.

 

Someone like that Divock Origi at Lille!!

[Megadrive Man]

Doesn't Sturridge deserve to be our main striker this season? If yes, who do we bring in for big money who is content to sit on the bench?

 

Yes he does, but the diamond formation worked really well last year, so why not sign a striker who can play alongside him as part of a front two, but also do a good enough job replacing him when he inevitably gets injured again.

 

Would you really be content if we find ourselves with only Etoo or Lambert and possibly Borini for a large part of the season?  

[scudger99]

The Eto'o of two or three seasons ago, perhaps.

Agreed.  But we probably wouldn't have picked that player up for fuck all.  That's part of the appeal though.  If he stinks the place out we got him for nowt and can fuck him off with no extras next summer.  Probably a load of bollocks anyway.

[Hand Shandy]

What if Rodgers wants to go back to 4231 though?

 

Would give the back four more protection (Gerrard and Can), thus hopefully leading to fewer goals conceded, with three of Sterling, Coutinho, Marvokic, Lallana and Ibe behind the central striker.

[Phoenix]

No one deserves a chance for the sake of it. if youre good enough to get enough in the team then fair enough, if not work harder. Suddenly it's become Sturridge FC.

 

If we buy someone better than Sturridge and he is relegated to the bench, so be it. 

[Mathewbet1]

Breaking news on the members forum. We got him.

[Phoenix]

Breaking news on the members forum. We got him.

 

Who ? Osama?

[Russ Atmosphere]

Black ops mission on all the Code aliases.

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

Moreno likely to be pulled from Seville squad as rumours that we've agreed a fee.

[Brigant Moloch]

so after 235 years of having dross at both fullback positions we've sorted them in one window. Kelly off to Crystal Palace too apparently. Now just bin Glen fucking Johnson. 

[JermainePennant]

Barret reporting its 12m, Im guessing that's up front with add ons, ayres negotiating on this deal appears to have payed off.

[Brigant Moloch]

again - Mike Gordon and Dave Fallows conduct negotiations, Ayre just signs the papers

[FrenchEyeGlass]

Well done to Ayre (and the club) for getting him for circa £12m if that is the case. That is an awesome deal.

 

One top class forward and we win the world five times over.

That would be disastrous with Gerrard as one of a two. The hodge played that formation in the summer and Gerrard struggled a bit. He needs 2 players infront of him these days (in my view), so we either need to stick to the diamond (but are lacking the necessary strikers now), or move to a 4-3-3. But 4-2-3-1 would see us really struggling.

[Anubis]

Is this a blag account?

Schürrle out - Cavani in! Chelsea and PSG ready for a BIG- deal?

[Boss]

We've got who? Moreno?

I hope that's true, Schurrle is a better player imo.

[Kevin D]

It's deffo bollocks.

Agreed.

[Boss]

I'd have Schurrle here in a heartbeat.
