Summer Transfer Ballache 2016

[Pureblood]

Jurgen will have a word with Rafa.   Maybe loan him Balotelli as a sweetener.  

[El Dangerous]

I'm up for signing Andros Townsend. Whatever keeps him out of the itv commentary booth.

[stringvest]

Andros Townsend ?? Fucking hell, I'm jumping aboard Nighcat's pirate ship and setting sail for Boston.

 

 

I hope you like kebab meat.

[stringvest]

If we sign aids dross towns end then our journey to become Everton will be completed.

 

Like party games at Barrymore's house, it's a race to the bottom.

[Hades]

We had supporters try to justify Balotelli's signing ( I was one of the stupid cunts who did) so I wouldn't be surprised if Townsend has his fans. 

[Cardie]

Or course I would, but a larger sample size matching that kind of player of the season form puts him above £40m and certainly above us. I'd argue he's already beyond us as he'll be looking for guaranteed CL football, hence why £40m on him is something I'd consider entirely different to £40m on Mané, who is well within our reach and probably won't get a better side chasing him.

 

The point was not what I'd like to see though, I was replying to your confusion as to why someone would be more willing to spend an equally excessive amount on a better player who'd won things.

I'm just trying to stay ahead of the thinking (generally not you specifically)

 

Mane has had more production over the last two seasons but hasn't won anything and thats bad while Mahrez had the better one off season and won something and thats good, danny drinkwater had an excellent season and won something but thats bad, Kovacic had an ok season but didn't win anything and that good.

 

Now I'm not advocating signing Mane or Drinkwater (or Mahrez or Kovacic for that matter) but It's all just a little bit muddled what is and isn't acceptable.

Well looking at it purely financially/objectively, £10.5m for a player who was on the cusp of the England squad...  If Sterling costs £50m it's a fair price.   He was certainly in better form than Sterling at the end of the season.  Sterling was dropped, Townsend came close to saving the Toon on his own.  What I'm saying is we must sign him. Welcome, Andros.  

[Kevin D]

Andros Fucking Towsend: Fuck Off.

[Russ Atmosphere]

Wait a minute, Andros Townsend might be just the player we n... nope, can't be arsed trolling.

[Pureblood]

He comes with a Hodgson seal of approval.  You can't turn him down at that price.

[Pureblood]

A shrewd poster on the other page said cut out the middle man and go for the player Southampton will get to replace Mane.  Well, there you go.  

[J-V]

Andross Townsend is fucking shit though I'd rather us waste £10.5m on him than £40m on Mane. At least we'd get our money back on Townsend when we inevitably decide to cut our losses on either of them.

[Jairzinho]

Andros Townsend was nearly good enough for this England squad. In my opinion, he could surprise a few people. 

[Arl arse]

If he was called Andros Townsedinho........ No, still wouldn't.

[Red House]

Andros Fucking Towsend: Fuck Off.

 

You're only saying that because you don't want to lose him.

[kalasoma]

It just feels like we're trying to buy Stewart Downing all over again. And I don't know why.

[Arl arse]

From Kovacic to Townsend in the space of a week, they certainly know how to lower expectations.

[Lee909]

Not saying Ibe wint go but the West Ham pics are dodgy as fuck. The sponser name is backwards,like reading it in a mirror

[Anubis]

Andros Townsend ?? Fucking hell, I'm jumping aboard Nighcat's pirate ship and setting sail for Boston.

If you're looking for it, it's the carefully arranged collection of cardboard boxes in his mum's cellar in Glasgow.

Who?

[Gym Beglin]

Prefer Townsend to Kocacic.

[ZonkoVille77]

If Townsend signs he'll easily be my favourite LFC player of all time, replacing Caulker. Before he even kicks a ball.

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

I hope Townsend breaks his leg eating scrambled eggs and that scuppers the deal.

 

I suppose while I'm here hoping I could just hope we don't sign him.

 

Either or.

[stringvest]

Is he better than those lads at Arsenal that we're linked with occasionally?  Who gives a fuck, really?
