My problem with Cole is, IMO he hasn't been the same player since Mourinho left Chelsea

[woodylfc]

A mate of mine reckons he's having a medical at the moment - bullshit ? probably

[Furmedge]

A mate of mine reckons he's having a medical at the moment - bullshit ? probably

 

Just had a similar text from a mate of mine. July 7th 2010 - My first bullshit text of the silly summer season?

 

Probably, considering I've heard on the radio today that Cole is sunning himself abroad at the minute while his agent is sorting out offers.

Having a medical - 75/1

Watching a Danny Dyer video - 10/1

Licking a window - 1/4

[JangoSolo]

Am I alone in thinking we should be looking at the likes of Joe Ledley? He's better than anything we've got on the left side.

1440 BST: Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson is lining up a £12.5m move for Costa Rica striker Bryan Ruiz. The 24-year-old scored 24 goals for Dutch champions FC Twente last season. Full story: Daily Mail

 

New Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson is lining up a £12.5million move for Costa Rican scoring sensation Bryan Ruiz.

 

Hodgson sees Ruiz, who netted 24 times last season for Dutch champions FC Twente, as the perfect replacement for Fernando Torres if he quits Anfield.

 

But even if the Spanish star stays put Hodgson is keen to get 24-year-old Ruiz on board.

 

Hotshot: Spain's Fernando Torres

 

Wanted: Bryan Ruiz

 

One in, one out? Roy Hodgson has lined up Bryan Ruiz (front) regardless of the future of Fernando Torres

 

Hodgson watched him on several occasions last season with a view to signing him for Fulham.

 

But he would have needed to smash Fulham’s transfer record and was forced to concede Ruiz was outside their price range.

 

Ruiz has seen his value treble since ex-England boss Steve McClaren snapped him up just a year ago for five million euros from Belgian club Ghent.

 

His goals helped Twente to their first-ever Dutch league crown and earned McClaren a move to the Bundesliga with Wolfsburg.

 

McClaren would like to sign Ruiz, who is also interesting Spanish clubs Seville and Villarreal, for a second time but the asking price is too high for the Germans.

[WaltonRed]

I think we need a forward in regardless, we all know that and I think Roy does too.

 

I dont know much about this kid but i'll be happy if we get someone in and keep the kid.

 

Its imperitive we do.

Roy: "Right, so I've lined up my transfer targets, I've calculated with the players I'm selling, and the £15 million you originally promised me, this should all be ok?"

 

Cecil: Roy, circumstances have changed, there is no £15 million, and of the £40 million you raised from the player sales, only £15 million is now available to you.

 

Roy: But you made promises to me, I can't improve this team whilst trying to make a profit in the transfer market for you

 

Cecil: Roy, I think you should just focus on coaching and training your team

 

Roy: Yes sir.

[Barrington Womble]

He's not. He's from London Barry.

 

 

 

.

 

is he really? i thought he came through their academy?

[WaltonRed]

is he really? i thought he came through their academy?

 

He did but he was born in London and then moved to Newcastle as a wee bern.

 

His contract has a year left and Andy Carroll broke his jaw which is probably also a factor.

I reckon Hodgson is smart enough to know that the best way to deal with liars is not to believe them in the first place.

Thought this was a transfer related thread on a football forum. Sorry for wasting your precious time

the league is pretty crap. as a reference point Luis Suarez scored 46 goals last season.

 

at least i think that's the right number, it was pretty close to that.

 

the mark viduka quote of "i only played at 60% in the scottish league" comes to mind from when he left celtic.

No way will his first signing be called Bwyan Woowee

well let's hope someone advices him about our boards lack of ambition, because cockney or geordie, he's fucking awful!
