Summer 2011

Their prices got inflated mostly thanks to the homegrown players rules, of course it wasn't always the case.

 

There is just no value in the British market, absolutely fuck all, unless the player has 1 year left on his contract. That's why it makes me pull hairs out that we're apparently 'going British'.

Fuck Koptalk. The fat cunt knows nothing.

From KopTalk:

 

 

I know you post some horrendous sources but this is taking the piss. The man is scum, dont post his garbage.

Not saying it is the most reliable of sources but thats the general feeling right now about our priorites in wingers.

[WhiskeyJar]

Dude I know, I am not trying to hide that fact.

 

The bit in bold caught me eye and I wanted to show you guys.

[Colonol]

Are there plans for homegrown rules to get harsher at any stage? ie are they going to introduce having to have half your 11 on the pitch homegrown or something? If not why does it seem we are really pushing for the English signings considering the prices that have to be paid?

[RedKnight]

Koptalk? I wouldn't trust that fat twat if he said water was wet.

Ferdinand £30m - Carrick £18m - Hargreaves £18m.

 

These are all deals done by Man United and in the case of the first two have been present in much of the mancs trophiy haul's.

 

Any deal for Henderson will be done with an initial fee up front and then various clauses which if activated will then equal the amount we have offered Sunderland.

 

Henderson is 20 yrs old i think so if he signs on a 5 yr contract he will still only be 25 and therefore unless he totally flops then he should retain his value.

 

If he is a success here he could potetentially get another contract and therefore we could end up getting 10yrs service out of the lad.

 

Going against the grain but i have asked a couple of Sunderland fans about the lad and both of them were full of praise and think he will be a cracking signing for us.

 

Sorry if that upsets some people who would prefer if he was shit.

Just noticed on Ashley Youngs Wikipedia page his current club is Liverpool FC :)

Agree with every word. He will mature into a very fine player and would be worth the outlay.

 

PS: Bitches will always moan!

I've hardly seen anybody moan about the player.

[The Dude Abides]

again, it'll all come down to what we end up spending.

 

Ferdinand £30m - Carrick £18m - Hargreaves £18m.

 

Yes, but United were doing this kind of thing from a position of strength, adding touches here and there to an already league winning outfit. We haven't got the same luxury.

[Red Phoenix]

So let's get a left back after Henderson and fuck the rest off.

Nevermind Henderson starting, we haven't arrived until there's 18mil sat on the bench.

The point i was going to make but you beat me to it.

They just needed tweaking at the time, a bit of depth here or there or a player in a particular position.

We need an overhaul to the squad, they didn't. Incomparable.

exactly. I really don't care how much we spend on a player as long as it is not our only signing as we have spent all our cash. If Henderson or Downing came here and we overpaid, i won't care as long as we have signed another 3 or 4 players and some of them for more money than them. It's all relative. Give me Henderson and Downing but give me Mata/Hazard and a couple of other players also please.

 

Are we even in for any holding mids? We need to stop getting bossed in mid in some games.

[shaunstrudwick]

Pacheco and Suso are good options from the bench but neither Flannagan or Kelly will oust Johnson @ rb full time

 

re: Henderson - not really sure why we are going after him tbh

 

would rather we had tied down Mata and or Young before going after Henderson - and even then i would prioritise a left back ahead of him

 

£18m for a kid who won't enhance our midfield seems a bit of an odd bit of business to me

[Red Phoenix]

Kelly doesn't need to, he'll be a CB, and maybe our next Hansen. If he stays and plays as well as he can he'll be captain one day.

Its just weird Liverpool is willing to spend that amount on an area they are fairly strong. That tells me they have plenty of money. i actually like Liverpool and hope he does well for you if you get him.

[shaunstrudwick]

all of that is true but he won't be starting at cb next season - especially if we are deffo going to move Agger on cos we'll be getting someone with more experience in to replace him

That sentence kind of sums it up.

 

Our so called transfer targets seem to show that we not looking on fully challenging for at least two years. Most likely get shot down for saying that but I can not see how buying Henderson and jones will make us compete with the top four. Do people think signing those two players will improve our squad as it stands?

[BenR_]

Well, Jones is an improvement on what we have. I'd much rather have him in the first XI than Skrtel.

 

We'll need to wait more before making that judgement, it's too soon. We may well be close to signing other players but the press didn't hear about it, we just don't know.

If the entirety of our summer signings are Wickham, Henderson, Jones and Downing then i'll agree, but I don't think that'll be the case.

Yeah, I reckon that's the plan. Aim to challenge in two years. It sounds like Dalglish's style to a tee.

You think by adding Henderson and Jones to the squad will mean we have the quality to challenge?
