January 2011 Transfer Window Speculation Thread

[MLB]

Do Juve have any players we want? I've heard that lad Aquilani is doing really well for them.

:yes:

[Josef Svejk]

249 club league games, 64 goals. Amauri's record according to Wikipedia. A goal every four games. Wow...

[Trucker Paddy]

Once again no info coming from club, let's make things up!

[1892-LFCWasBorn]

Glen is going nowhere.

 

Yet another fucking bullshit story.

 

Fuck me. Since when was the Mail/Tribal reliable by anyone on here?

[Pidge]

I'd prefer an aged Del Piero to Amauri.

 

Other than Chiellini there's no-one there I'd particularly want, especially considering our luck with Italians.

Marchisio or Krasic.

[Pidge]

Krasic is a yes. Not sure about Marchisio tbh, out of ignorance more than anything.

Theres not a chance we are going to get Krasic. Juve will not go for that.

Apparently we were looking at Chiellini as an alternative to Dossena that summer, and the money being quoted was around £4m compared to the £7m we paid for the chubby one.

 

In fairness, we've made some horrendous transfer decisions with what money we've had in recent years.

I find it hard to believe unless there was a timing issue with Chiellinis contract, no way he was priced at 4m

A very good player with the strength needed to cope in the league, saw him play for River many times.

It can always go either way, a loan and buy agreement seems the right approach. But then, it takes time to adjust to the premiership. For example, I think Birmingham would be a much more dangerous proposition if they had kept Benitez (or Zarate).

[18-5]

We were linked with Falcao for 4 million under Rafa. We decided not to buy him if I remember correctly. Now he is worth 14 million. Decent but not great.

[Fugitive]

How many players have we been linked with over past two months???

 

It's all bullshit and lies.

[El Rojo]

As is making every effort to properly scout players to make as informed a choice as possible when buying.

 

With regard to Keane, Dossena and Aquilani, we failed miserably in this for different reasons.

So just to clarify. We're signing everyone?

Failed to scout or wrong judgment?

Comolli wants and Hodgson doesnt

 

No experience coming in Jan, should be interesting to see how Roy reacts

 

Does he have any idea how much he is disliked?

[El Rojo]

Failed to scout or wrong judgment?

 

A bit of both I think.

 

I'd be interested in how often we had Dossena watched, for example, because it was pretty obvious from a game or two into his time with us that he was alarmingly slow.

 

Keane and Aquilani were both potentially good players in isolation, but clearly completely unsuited to our system. Baffling signings.

Quicker than either then Insua or now Konchesky - the whole of the club is lacking pace.

[WaltonRed]

Chillieni is a crank
