The transfer reflection thread.

[The Dude Abides]

We done goofed. That £50m would have gone a long way on this creeky poor looking squad. But we've gone and blown nearly the entire lot on Andy Carroll, and tried as best we good to give the rest away to Blackpool for Charlie Adam.

 

The worrying thing for me is that both these signings will have been Kenny's, and i worry about the Summer window, if there's any money to spend.

[Alan Sex]

 

replaced by a tv thats beats up women, involved in fights with teammates, glassing people, spent more time on the front pages rather than the backpages

 

He has long hair, but that doesn't make him a tranny!

[wlshyd]

Same here, i knew that it was time for Robbie to move on,but it was still hurt

 

If i'm honest this is the first departure that has left me with that feeling of betrayal and disappointment in the stomach, knowing that he could have really led us to great things. New owners, new money, new belief and he fucks off within 3 days... it hurts.

 

The Owen and God times for whatever reason dont smart like this one does and will until the little shit leaves those blue cunts and is headed back to spain...

 

Chelsea FFS...

[christhered]

I think today showed, even though we had the cash from the Judas cunt, to go out and know immediately who our first target was and more importantly to get him.

 

Adam would have been nice, but for the stupid money they were asking then perhaps it is just aswell.

[Fugitive]

We've replaced a player who has sulked about for ages and not shown much form for quite a while with two young, hungry and bang in form strikers who compliment each other very well.

 

These two will cause havoc and I can see them scoring a lot.

[TheHowieLama]

He has long hair, but that doesn't make him a tranny!

 

it does help

[J-V]

Not particularly happy.

 

Still shit at the back, shit on the wings.

 

We've spent close to fuck all again.

 

This.

[Einch]

The rent boy cunt has really fucked me off with stuff like "show respect to Chelseas offer". Since he would not put in a shift I think we have done quite well in this window and increased our options up front. We will be better off for the rest of the season as the new lads try to impress everyone and play for the shirt.

[fowler9]

when you consider we've swapped

 

Hodgson

Mike Kelly

Babel

Torres

Konchesky

 

for

 

Kenny

Clarke

Suarez

Carroll

 

for minimum outlet its been a fairly awesome january

[Block109'er]

"Biggest Club in Europe?"

 

You've not even joined the biggest club in London you soft cunt.

 

It was said there is a very fine line between love and hate and I fear that Fernando is about to understand what that means.

 

Hard to take right now.

[Chinandeler Bong]

LFC are mental selling to them cunts.

I think we will have cash in the summer regardless of who the manager is. we have just spent the Torres and Babel cash with perhaps some change or some extra thrown in. Either way we are not being but-fucked by cancer & aids and RBS so cash for players will be there.

[Halcyon Days]

Bit worried about Carroll's body language when he was being shown around Melwood. Seriously though can't wait to see these two in tandem, think everyone's in for the fright of their lives.

[Hermes]

We've gambled on potential, I have a horrible feeling that we've blown a windfall on a panic buy with Carroll when we should have taken our time and built a team.

 

Time will tell.

[Crazyhorse7778]

Here we go again!

[Lubeh]

What you need to remember is Torres is 26 soon to be 27 and £50m for the torres of the past 18 months is an absolute steal he also seems to have lost his pace aswell since his injury.

 

Imagine if he starts to sulk at Chelsea the fans won't like it and won't accept it.

 

On the other hand we have got 2 strikers who are young and hungry for about the same price, yes Torres has shown flashes of his brilliance now and again, but Suarez also has this ability.

 

We have been looking for a while for that big strong CF and we get possibly the one guy who actually does look like he could be the next big CF for England, every pundit seems to beleive Carroll has something so lets hope we can make him reach his potential here.

 

Our front line now has some bite in it (no pun intended) and if they do click we could have the start of something very special on our hands ..not just one decent striker ..but two!

[KevieG]

We got rid of one rubbish player in Babel and one great player who's heart was clearly no longer at the club for two exciting young prospects with the potential to be great players for us.

 

Overall, I'm happy with that.

 

This club has moved on when Keegan, Rush and Owen left in their pomp years and it will do so again no problem.

[Gym Beglin]

Happy with it, considering that Torres asked to leave.

I still think we're a striker short though, even with NGog, because I'm not sure Suarez can do the number 9 thing. After all, this is what we were all complaining about before the window opened, that we only had one number 9 and then NGog as backup. Well, nothing's really changed in that regard.

 

But Suarez is a terrific signing and hopefully signals a return to the right for Gerrard.

 

 

Carroll

 

Suarez

 

Maxi Meireles Poulson Gerrard

 

 

Johnson Agger Carragher Kelly

 

Peps

 

 

Aurelio

Skrtel

Lucas

Spearing

Pacheco

Ngog

Kuyt

 

 

It's still not a really strong squad. Gutted that we couldn't get Adam in the end, he would have been a really handy squad player.

[Hermes]

Just heard David Moyes has got Apostolos Vellios.

 

He should be okay after a week or two in bed.

[Halcyon Days]

Sorry not up on my smilies mate! Was being sarcastic. Next line does start with Seriously though.

[Lubeh]

I think this could also signal Gerrard or dare I say Johnson playing rm/rw .. though Johnson is possibly our LB now or indeed Agger.

[Paco]

delighted to see kenny putting his stamp on the squad now. couldn't have seen this coming this time last week but the last few days and particularly today have been mental.

 

kenny has been playing rafa and roys team since he took over but now we're gonna see his own ideas.

 

can't wait until carroll is fit and we see him and suarez up front together. I think we'll be 442 when they're all fit.

 

when is the horse gonna be fit?

[Lubeh]

I would also like to point out Should Lou and Andy (I don't like that!) take off we have created our strike force for the next 5 years.

 

We got Lucas/Meireles/Shelvey/Pacheco as our midfield and Kelly and Agger and maybe Johnson as our defence, we can only hope Pepe stays and we have got the makings of a superb side for the next five years.

 

That not to mention Wilson/Ayala /Suso coming through, we really should be looking at that and realise our future could be not just bright but dazzling!

 

(edit : Carroll is meant to be fit either in the next month though alot of reports are saying 5th feb was/is his return date).

[derrickt]

Torres/Babel Out, Suarez/Carroll in. Would be happier if we get Adam and a winger but i guess we have to wait until summer

[The Acolyte]

I hope all this has taught FSG a harsh lesson and i hope Kenny gave them a piece of his mind. They have been treading water hoping to do as little as possible until the summer (I hope), stood mute over Hodgson, still no CEO, not a peep about what they're gonna do about the gound and up until this afternoon, 3-toed Sloth movement in the transfer market. We have now lost a world class player due to what could be classed as miss managment. Had we had made the transfers we needed in the summer then maybe it would've convinced him to stay. Instead he does a bunk and leaves us to get dry bummed by the Geordies. What we need to do now is secure our summer transfers now as I don't have much faith in Commoli. It may mean paying a few bob more but I don't want to see us get caught out like this again.
