January 2011 Transfer Window Speculation Thread

[Anubis]

why not? it's not liuke there rivals or anything. It'll be a long time before we're challenging Man City for anything tbh

 

Apparently they blocked Bellamy, who asked to be loaned back here.

[Carvalho Diablo]

Mertesacker is so slow that its almost as he is going backwards.

 

I concur.

[Sinos]

This blows me away --- Why the fuck would the scout be watching Bremen's backline and picking Mertesacker over Naldo? Naldo is twice the defender, IMO.

 

He's just as tall, just as dominant in the air, faster, stronger, better on the ball, smashes a freekick like Roberto Carlos, etc.

 

It doesn't sound like he'd be able to get a work permit.

Dont sign sign ...it will just create furthger problems

 

Still better than Skrtel.

[mht1892]

my ma's better than Skrtel.

I don't know if this has already been mentioned by someone on RAWK saying that we had scouts checking out Connor Wickham.

 

He's a red apparently and Nando is his idol. Also played for all levels for England and only 17.

 

Would be a cracking piece of business.

Wouldn't mind him, he'd cost a bit though.

i think Roy Keane will block any move for Wickham, Great player but can you honestly see Keane wanting to do any deals with us? He will be offered to united or nobody at all. I think he is a no, once Keane leaves he will be rather pricey (if hes not already) so i cant see this one happening.

[Tubal Cain]

I do not think Keane would block a move but he would be very expensive, so i would agree i can not see it happening. This is a shame for he does appear to be a very good player with a good attitude good work ethic and only 17. What dead wood can we swap plus some cash?

Google chrome translates this, google chrome :inlove:

He's always come across as another Ryan Babel for me.

but one we havent signed yet so its all good bra:(

Nothing like him... not in the way he plays anyway - Natural winger who loves to take a man on, can cross with both feet, regularly makes the right decision and scores a few goals

[mht1892]

apparently signed for £15 million euros......... more bullshit surely ?

[Deepz]

Bit like Robben imo

Probably, the thing that has me thinking is that he has been in Dubai the last few weeks ( Hasn't Kenny been over there too?)

[ThewaytoRome]

looks nothing like him

[Pidge]

He's better than Babel. Hence him playing ahead of him at the WC. He looks like a dangerous winger... and strong too. I'd love this to be true, but I am basing that mainly on the world cup.

I know what you're trying to say. However, we once did the same with a central midfielder from French club Sedan.

[1892-LFCWasBorn]

He has a football brain.

[Heinze]

I'd be happy with elia. Can he play on the right?

[Iantn]

Still remember his goal at Leeds that sent us top. I try to forget the rest of his time though.

I know, we also signed Diouf off the back of the world cup. Elia has been tested in a decent league though. Judging by youtube he's scored some good goals for HSV and it just shows that he's winger without the concerns I have over Griezmann and Marveaux in that I think he won't be bundled off the ball easily.
