January 2011 Transfer Window Speculation Thread

[18-5]

Here's hoping he's a massive fucking flop!

 

Well they paid around 25 million for Milner- that went well. :yes:

 

Read somewhere that they agreed the deal for 27 million pounds and will be confirmed on tuesday as tomorrow is a bank holiday. All this is good news for us as they are unlikely to be in for Nando. :drool:

Seamus Coleman on a Bosman? How stupid are the shite letting his contract get that low

[Anubis]

I am The Sherminator. I’m a sophisticated sex robot sent back through time, to change the future for one lucky lady.

 

Fuck me, it is as well!

I thought a player must be aged over 24 for the Bosman ruling to apply? Under that age, it goes to tribunal I'm sure.

Sorry, you are correct.

 

Even so they're soft for even risking that

[Funkasy]

it sure would be nice to have a sugar daddy just for one transfer window, but i trust the plan nesv have is just as good in the long run.

[WaltonRed]

Taiwo would be a decent signing but not Ziegler.

The player would still move though, considering the amount they paid for him I don't think the tribunal fee would come to a groundbreaking price.

 

You'd think they'd have learned from the Gosling fiasco, instead they have Anichibe, Coleman and Pienaar winding down their deals.

I know that! My point was that there would be a fee involved, usually a nominal sum. I think this is what happened when Daniel Sturridge moved to Chelsea, although I recall the fee being a bit steep.

[stevienando]

Onouha's contract is expiring? Or is that just the loan?

[coops_lfc]

New York Red Bulls want to sign Joe Cole on loan till the end of the year apparently. Right off to bed cos I'm fecked.

[Torvald Utne]

take him.

[Unrighteous]

He is quite slow from what i've seen(on espn mainly) but he dominates the air and for a big fella is good with the ball at his feet composed aswell not just get in there and whack it anywhere like Agger in that aspect brings it out and plays it away,at 6.6" he's an asset at set pieces both for and against.him + Agger would be a great pairing thats why i wouldn't lose Agger to buy him.

 

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.

[Hades]

City going nuts again. Might be a good time to poach a few of their wantaways. Adebayor on loan would be great, so would Wayne Bridge. It's been ages since we've had an unplayable-on-his-day tank centre-forward.

End of what year? Their season doesn't start till march hence beckham wanting to come over here

citeh wouldn't sell to us.

[RED Tezza]

citeh wouldn't sell to us.

 

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

They wont loan any of those to us and even if they do salaries of £90k a week plus.

[Phoenix]

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

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

[piscinin]

You could be right. Mascherano joined us on loan a few seasons ago and we became his 3rd club that season so I don't see this being a problem unless UEFA/Fifa have moved the goalposts.

 

We only got around the problem with Mascherano because the Brazilian operates on a different calendar than ours.

Because Metesacker is available and Naldo is not perhaps?

[Unrighteous]

Mertesacker has been flavour of the month since the World Cup. Naldo has only a few caps for Brazil. That's the real difference.

[Mr Nando]

Why are people moaning about how slow Mertesacker is? He is fucking faster then Carra and commits a lot less fouls.

So aimlessly over the bar then? :whistle:

I don't recall another centerback get a hat trick other than Naldo.
