January 2011 Transfer Window Speculation Thread

[dirty_sanchez]

It's not that we need a cb who's seven foot, we just one who can fucking win ball in the air. You don't need to be a lanky cunt to do that.

 

Exactly. Cannavaro was fucking brilliant in the air and he was legally a midget. Probably.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

Comolli's ?

It was a television interview, wasn't it ?

 

Dunno. I'd be forced into looking out of the window if goal.com said the sky was blue.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

How good does Lacina Traore look in his youtube video, by the way? My knowledge of Romanian football is somewhat limited, so this is really all I've seen of him. Anybody seen him play more than this. It starts average, but really starts to kick off during the middle to the end. He scores some amazing goals.

On Bent, said that Liverpool was not interested because he would not link up well with Torres, referred to him as a "lone wolf".

 

Good to read that, and very true. It also suggests that if we don't get Suarez then at least we can be comforted by the fact that Comolli and the club recognise that we need a similar type of player.

 

Kagawa, Aguero, Pastore, Cassano, Van Der Vaart come close, but realistically Suarez is as good or better than all of them.

It may turn out that if we miss out on Suarez then we may only be able to afford yet another punt on a young unknown, like we did with Babel. Perhaps someone like Douglas at Shakhtar.

 

But the most hurtful and annoying thing about it is that in Pacheco we already have someone who should be given a chance to fulfill that role for a few games. If we've already identified that it's a position we need to fill (as Comolli seems to suggest) then it makes no sense to ignore Pacheco, who could save us millions.

In case it was grey, as it often is in winter?

 

And in any case, I don't think goal.com is the best place to go for meteorological information, given its function is largely distribution of inaccurate information regarding football.

i have a lot of love for Aguero

With these fair play rules coming in were a club can only spend what they earn plus such and such amount, what is to stop someone like abu dhabi just opening a business and sponsoring city for a huge amount or giving backhanders to other companies to do the same.

 

They surely have to be fucked with this rule coming in otherwise.

VDV, Kagawa and Pastore are nothing like Cassano or Suarez. In fact Suarez isn't even that much like Cassano but that's your closest comparisson.

 

Suarez is first and foremost a poacher, a goalscorer who relies more than anything on his ability to finish from all angles. Cassano and Aguero are more support strikers who although can finish also have unreal ability on the ball allowing him to drift past people at will, something Suarez can't do with nearly as much frequency. I'd rather have Suarez finishing the chance though than either.

 

Vdv, Kagawa and Pastore although they can score primarily are creative players who will drag others out of position and contribute massively to creating of a chance. The fact that VDV can finish at times doesn't make him a striker, he's an attacking midfielder just like Kagawa.

He'd be more than welcome for the right price, but then so would a lot of players.

 

If I were him though I'd stay at Blackpool till the end of the season .

Gary Taylor-Fletchers dad who works on Line 10 in Jaguar was telling everyone today that according to his son Charlie Adam will sign after Blackpool have play United next week.

 

Hes not the type of fella who goes round spreading rumours but no idea if its true or not

Now that's how to post a rumour, boys.

 

Twitter wannabe's take note.

I think it's cool he took his wife's name

[AmerScouse]

holloway's recent comments suggest otherwise, but he seems a proper good player. i just don't see any value to blackpool selling him. its not like 5 million pounds is going to suddenly give their pitch underground heating or anything...

[Wor Horse]

He took his wife's name to piss off Orient manager Tommy Taylor apparently. He married his daughter and that's the rumour i've heard.

 

EDIT: This is probably the worst rumour ever. But not the worst in this thread. hmmm

Nice one mate, technically though you didnt hear a rumour you 'read' a rumour, but im prepared to let that go on the basis you were spot on with the Joe Cole thing :whistle:

Just been texted about exactly that 10 minutes ago.

 

According to my mate's dad who is a Rangers fan he's the sort of player who can have a spark of magic to win you one game but be a complete liability in the next. It echoed what I thought from watching him this season and would rather we steered clear to be honest.
