Summer '09 Transfer Speculation Thread

[Red Phoenix]

Spearing really needs more time on the pitch. This upcoming season could be the one he really arrives in.

[silverlining]

Spearings better than lucas

 

 

So who is Lucas better than?

[crouchaholic]

So who is Lucas better than?

 

Someone who is very very bad and playing for a very very bad team in the Albanian second division (allegedly).

[The Dude Abides]

I fail to see what it is others seem to be seeing when they watch Spearing. Guthrie was a better player than him and he was nowhere near good enough either.

 

He has a bit about him, just nothing that would make him stand out playing in the middle of the park. Think he'd possibly make a cracking full-back fwiw.

Oddly enough, I was thinking that the other day when I was thinking about if he'd get into our first squad.

 

I flat out think he's too small to be a part of our midfield. Mascherano and Lucas are both short, and I don't think we can afford to play two short-arses as holding midfielders.

 

Spearing does look to have some good creativity though, as I remember him doing some good passing/running in a game that I saw of him.

I was very impressed with him against Real. Yes ino we were 3-0 up on the night and there was no fight left in them but his tenacity and eye for a pass looked oso impressive. Loved the bit where he shimmied past diarra and sent a beautiful 40 yard pass out wide to dirk with his left foot. I think hes got great potential

[Kevin D]

Not really , or at all, relevant but I saw this earlier from the Times and had a good laugh:

 

Jean-Louis Triaud, the Bordeaux president, has denied that the French champions have received a £13 million offer from Sunderland for Marouane Chamakh. The Morocco forward has one year left on his contract and is wanted by Arsenal, should Emmanuel Adebayor leave.

 

“We never received an offer,” Triaud said. “What the f*** would he do at Sunderland? You have heard him say he will only sign for a big English club. I don’t want to insult Sunderland, but I don’t even know where they finished last season.”

 

Imagine what he thinks of Everton.

Huntelaar on his way to Stuttgart according to SSN. Interesting to see how much he goes for.

£19m was being bandied around the other day.

Bloody hell, I was expecting it to be around £10/12 million.

Didnt they get big money for Mario Gomez

[Xherdan]

This is the craziest summer.

[INTORRESTING]

city are so small time it's incredible

[AmerScouse]

are city going to actually sell anyone?

 

that makes their striker list look like the following:

 

santa cruz

bellamy

tevez

robinho

caciedo

bojinov

benjani

 

add adebayor possibly.

 

what the fuck are they going to do with all of them? perhaps back to the old 2-3-5 system?

[cyador]

I was impressed with spearing against RM too tbh.

However, his height is definately a problem. Masch and lucas, Insua ain't big by any stretch of the imagination, yet they look like giants in comparison. Look at some of the pics of training in switzerland, spearing looks like a little kid, a scrawny one at that. (and the photo i saw him in, he was next to sammy lee ffs, who was made to look big.)

[Thants]

So who is Lucas better than?

 

Sliced bread.

So they can sell a flop for 19m but we are being unreasonable about Xabi. Real are cunts.

[emryscb]

from the Italian press (repubblica.it)

 

LIVERPOOL TENTA AQUILANI - Il Liverpool è interessato al cartellino del centrocampista della Roma, Aquilani. Potrebbe essere il sostituto di Xabi Alonso se lo spagnolo dovesse partire. E' di 20 milioni di euro la valutazione del cartellino.

 

Liverpool interested in ROME CM Aquilani - as possible replacement to Alonso if he leaves. 20 million euro..

He wasn't a flop, by any measure.

 

Stuttgart would actually upgrade their attack and made money from it. Amazing.

[Alan Sex]

When I hear Cattermole I get all mixed up as to whether he was on Rentaghost or Catweazle. He's magic, he is.

[Beardsley-arrrr]

This thread is a fucking joke. My god, I thought RAWK was bad! It seems this is a free for all for clueless tools to type pointless transfer conjecture. Cattermole? for fuck sake!

[Ted]

Excellent contribution.

[madsiga]

rumor about xabi joining real, £26million.. completed on 19th july.. just wait and see then :/

[Unrighteous]

Then do us a favour and fuck off back there.

So who is Lucas better than?
