Frank Ribery anyone?

[shaunstrudwick]

a £30m player is not out of our price range if Rafa wants to spend on 1 player

 

obviously whether Rafa does understand that spending on 1 world class player is better than wasting it on 5 average/rubbish ones is something that is undecided

 

also buying Aguero or Villa would only work if Gerrard was moved to the right wing

 

something Rafa didn't do when we bought Keane so I am not holding my breath with that one

 

but that is where I would play Gerrard

[Strontium]

I'd bust the whole lot on Augero, move Gerrard next to Alonso and give Benayoun his chance out wide. Either that or we pay £30m for Ribery and be done with it.

 

 

Gone off the idea of Quaresma then?

[INTORRESTING]

how many games is it since zaki has scored? I remember when madrid were rumoured to be after him now he couldn't hit a ripple on lampards arse

 

i think he is a bit shit but i reckon he is a rafa player. Also kenwyne Jones started out as a centre back!

 

I reckon those i mentioned are the kind of players rafa will go for but i hope someone gets through to him and we go for two top match winners to help out gerrard and torres, we can get by with the rest of the team and although i think there are a few positions that need strengthening i think we have a base now and should leave the squad players alone unless they are free or very cheap. 1 to 2 decent players a year from now on please!

Somebody knows what "good" Bosmans are on the cards this summer?

 

Owens on a Bosman!!:whistle:

[FrenchEyeGlass]

Ive wanted Ribery for three years. He would be more effective than most players for us, and silva, aguero etc, would be all behind him in my transfer list.

 

People really underestimate how good he is.

[shaunstrudwick]

Gone off the idea of Quaresma then?

 

Quaresma plays for Chelsea - if Hiddink goes ahead and makes the deal permenant

 

he's done alright when he has played imo - would've had him here in a shot last summer but we didn't go for him - despite rumours to the contrary - and he went to Inter

[NIred1]

Quaresma gave an interivew in which he stated that we did in fact speak with him but we wanted to change his style and make him more direct, i.e. less of the fannying about. He clearly said he was having none of it, so fuck him.

[redrosetints]

Id like us to sign him, or any prem team, just so he may one day appear on Jonathon Rosss show. Fwank Wibbery, just get Ross (Not you Tom) to say it several times, itd be great.

[don]

 

On our current budget if Benitez tries to solve all these areas, just as he did last summer then we'll more likely solve no areas.

 

Just get one more match winner who can help us turn these draws against the weaker teams into wins and to help Torres / Gerrard.

 

spot on

[PaulMcC]

The only winger about that we should spend all our money on is Ribery.

 

I can't think of another wide player who would eb worth blowing out whole budget on.

 

Cazorla is good but he's over priced. Real offered over 20m for him last summer.

[dirty_sanchez]

Do we even have a budget?

[WaltonRed]

I've decided I want Frank this summer

[Tom R]

I wouldn't say no. probably be a good price, but I do worry about the millions of ace french players who just fail hugely over here.

 

Isn't he about to go to jail forever for shagging prostitute children or something though, anyway?

[Xherdan]

Are you an underage girl?

[Horus]

Are you an underage girl?

 

That's definitely rhetorical!!

[Unrighteous]

He's true squad poison.

[Jonny83]

I wouldn't say no. probably be a good price, but I do worry about the millions of ace french players who just fail hugely over here.

 

Isn't he about to go to jail forever for shagging prostitute children or something though, anyway?

 

That was about a year ago, I'd always assumed he'd gotten off on account of the tried and tested "I'm a rich footballer so can do whatever the fuck I like" defence.

[Reacher]

We've filled our ugly quota.

[Monster Masch]

He's an absolute cock and is overrated.

[Guest PurpleNose]

He's an absolute cock but would probably be the best wide player in the league.

[Whelan]

His missus is just made for the Boutiques of County Road!

[zigackly]

I wouldn't say no. probably be a good price, but I do worry about the millions of ace french players who just fail hugely over here.

 

Like Henry, Vieira, Pires, Makalele, Desailly, Petit, Cantona, Evra, etc?

 

It's shit players that fail Tom. Doesn't matter where they come from.

[The Dude Abides]

He was top class there for a season or two but has been utterly shit since then. One of those players that thinks he owns the pitch, just goes where he wants, loses the ball constantly, and doesn't work to get it back. Which you can get away with whe youre Ronaldo, but not when you're being shit.

 

One to avoid most definitely.

[aiyic]

Joe Colesque, except would cost money

[sir roger]

Best French duelling scar since D'Artagnan.

 

Was he not supposed to be one of the main problems with harmony in the French squad, bullying some of the younger lads. He'd love all that ear-flicking at Melwood & would have Lucas's dinner money the first morning.
