Summer Transfers 2014

[Byrnie]

Someone mentioned Tevez a few pages back saying he is too old or something. he was Juventus best player last year. Bit of a wanker but I wouldn't say no to him.

It was me. I couldn't see us paying what it would take to get an almost 30 year old. Top player, but top cunt too.

[Redder Lurtz]

So are we signing Higuain or is this just a thread to argue about whether he's any good or not?

Lets hope not as it would be for a ridiculous fee.

[Bjornebye]

Done it for about five or six years on the bounce has Higuain. Got less pace, and skill, than Sturridge, less natural ability in general, but Higuain is a fucking lethal striker. I've no doubt Sturridge is capable of proving himself to be better than Higuain, but he hasn't done it yet.

 

true but he isn't as far behind as mary queen of wanks is implying 

[Tony Moanero]

I didn't say it was, but there's a reason they were happy to sell him to a direct rival for £12m.  He's young and English, which usually inflates a fee but they still let him go to us for £12m - and their fans don't even complain about it either.  I didn't rate him when we got him, I do now - but he isn't in the same class as Higuain.  That's my opinion, yours is obviously different.

 

Direct rival? We hadn't finished in the top 4 since 2009!

[Bjornebye]

No, and don't chat shit to me either saying you watched them week in week out because you didn't.  I think I saw Napoli about 3/4 times and he played well in those games, and he's a proven world class striker.

 

You are the one chatting shit 

 

I watched Napoli quite a few times last season, I had them on plenty of accas so watched to see them fuck me over. Which they did on a number of occasions. Higuain playing like he had lead in his boots. I'm probably more qualified than you to make a comparison and i'm happy to concede that Higuain based on his past is probably ahead of Sturridge but you implied Sturridge was nowhere near which is quite frankly, pissed up tramp talk. 

 

So erm, yeah. 

[Babb'sBurstNad]

Can Higuain do this?

 

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

Can Higuain do this?

 

He'd need four goes.

[Bjornebye]

Can Higuain do this?

 

 

Negged when I meant to rep sorry mate

[J-V]

Can Higuain do this?

 

But can Daniel do this.

You know full well this is the made up rumour argue about fuck all let of some steam annoy the shit out of dickheads fuck you thread Redderz. 

[Babb'sBurstNad]

But can Daniel do this.

 

 

No, thank god.

 

Negged when I meant to rep sorry mate

 

Haha, no probs.

[MikeC]

Still dreaming of Shaqiri

[J-V]

Still dreaming of Shaqiri

 

Roma are now after him.

[MikeC]

Roma are now after him.

 

Gutted if they get him. I truly reckon Brendan could turn him into another £50m+ player.

[The Golden Eel]

Surely we're more appealing than Roma

[johnsusername]

I thought we bought Lallana for £16m (something to do with Bournemouth's 25% £4m fee), but everyone keeps saying £25m. Maybe I've heard wrong.

[Boss]

Probably £16m up front with £9m in structured payments and performance based add ons.

[Josef Svejk]

Probably £16m up front with £9m in structured payments and performance based add ons.

 

Vowel-related add-ons, apparently...

Yeah I bet you did mate, and I bet you watched Dortmund all the time a couple years back.  Still managed 17 league goals, in a new league with lead in his boots.  It's not "pissed up tramp talk" when the figures back it up.

[Tony Moanero]

DanDanShaw doesn't know.

[Boss]

We're doing a Spurs you can see it a mile off.

[TheDrowningMan]

We're doing a Spurs you can see it a mile off.

 

If we're in the midst of our best ever start to a Premier League season come December, I hope the board doesn't shit the bed and replace Rodgers with Sherwood after a couple of heavy defeats.

Agreed, last summer I would have took higuain in a heartbeat but after seeing him at Napoli where he is the main man he didn't look impressive.

 

His pace is poor and even though he can pull off some great finishes he can also miss easy chances, I wouldn't be happy paying more then Napoli did and he wouldn't be on my list of strikers.

Well, he wouldn't necessarily be the 'main man' here. I'm not suggesting that he'd be top of my list, but it's not outside the realms of possibility that he might flourish with Sturridge and Sterling.
