Took this off another site as I found it interesting, we seem to have a lot more hits when we buy players from big clubs.

 

I dont think its a coincidence and this tells us we should be focusing more on players with big talent not getting chances at top clubs over good players who are having a good run of form in smaller teams.

[El Dangerous]

Wait, you mean better players play for bigger clubs? Holy state the obvious Batman!

[thompsonsnose]

Dzeko could be available.

Sell/bin/release/buy out, those other 3 goons, and get 1 quality striker in.

Wont happen i know, but i feel better for just saying it.

[sir roger]

Judging by the fees paid for the above players it doesn't seem that obvious to the Transfer Committee.

[JermainePennant]

Other clubs like arsenal and spurs are good at signing players from smaller clubs while judging by the players listed overall we are not.

 

Whether that be down to judging players wrongly or players from smaller clubs crumbling under the pressure here while players from bigger clubs are used to it I dont know.

 

We are not getting it right going for good players from smaller clubs for whatever reason so we should concentrate going down the route of getting players who were being touted as stars from their teens but have had issues at their clubs for whatever reason, those kind of signings are working for us in most cases.

Apparently we showed an interest in loaning Song but he wanted to go to London. Fuck him, can't believe the cunt didn't get booked today by that other cunt Marriner.

 

We won't be signing anyone so I won't bother watching it on Monday.

 

 

It was to do with the medical treatment his son needed

[El Dangerous]

I can't believe he didn't want to continue the Song family legacy at Liverpool. He could have taught the new breed the traditional Cameroonian grass eating celebration.

"Gerrard is one of the players I was watching when I was young. I remember the first time I played against Liverpool was unbelievable.

"The first time I went to England was 1999 when I was watching Rigo (cousin and ex-Liverpool and West Ham defender Rigobert Song) playing.

"I was there to watch the game. It was crazy because I took some pictures with the players - I was 12 years old.

"Then Rigo gave me Gerrard's shirt from that day and I have kept it When I came back to Anfield to play, I was like: 'Wow'. I didn't expect that.

"I played against Liverpool and it was Gerrard, Owen and Fowler - I never forgot this in my life.

Seems like hes got a soft spot for Liverpool and I reckon we could get him, surely there are adequate facilities in liverpool for his son.

[JaminKibbler]

Would have been better if he could have played with Gerrard, I'm sure he'd probably like to come then

Alderhey is top notch, in my opinion..

[thompsonsnose]

Alderhey is top notch, in my opinion..

The OFC was never quite so sure.

Still a gobsmacking thing to say.

What an absolute twat.

[ratcatcher]

Yeah saw that. 12 million isnt it? Got to be worth a punt at that price surely?

[bonesman]

What an absolute twat.

 

They did a great job with my brother, will be forever grateful for that..

Your quite an unpleasant person arent you..

[El Dangerous]

If Brendao is insistent on having a so called traditional English style centre forward and looking at the signings of Lambert and Balotelli I'd say he is, then Dzeko would be great.

 

Shame we're not in a position to poach players from Spuds anymore because Harry Kane has looked great this season.

He doesn't want strikers who can't press. Which rules out Dzeko.

 

Shame he didn't bother his arse even watching a YouTube video of Balotelli and Lambert. Perhaps then we wouldn't have went into this season with one seriously injury prone forward suitable to how he wants to play.

I'm struggling with this exchange. Whats OFC?

[sir roger]

Bondsman, I think TN is blasting Hodgsons Alder Hey gaffe and not doubting the great work done there ( I hope so anyway )

[ratcatcher]

This Dele Alli of MK Dons. Have we dropped our interest in him now then?

[El Dangerous]

Linked with Newcastle last I heard.

[sir roger]

They have offered 20 quid , and all the Big Issues Carver has over at the end of the week.

[Russ Atmosphere]

This is the thread equivalent of waking up on the settee, the worse for wear, watching jobfinder.

[ratcatcher]

Linked with Newcastle last I heard.

 

Spurs stepping in with a late bid Im reading.

 

I just thought this was another one for the future we were intent on signing but looks like we've lost interest.

[matt1983]

Owl Faced Cunt I reckon...remember when the Hodge opined that Alder Hey was probably the second best children's hospital in the country?

[RazorBack]

Where were the Spurs when we signed Balotelli? 

[Boss]

Some rumours of a deadline day swoop for Winston Reid.
