Summer 2011

Maybe Modric and Sneijder aren't available at a price that Ferguson can afford, which is why he's going in for Adam?

 

Plus City are after Nasri, so can't see Man Utd being able to match the wages Man City are offering.

 

They're paying Young £130,000 a week.

[Il Fenomeno]

They're paying Young £130,000 a week.

 

I said Man Utd couldn't match Man City's wages, which is 100% fact. Even if Man Utd offered Nasri 200k a week, Man City could offer more. I didn't say anything about Man Utd not being able to pay big wages.

If he wants to go there sod him, this is just both blackpool and the mancs acting like tw@ts. So no change there then.

 

What if he sees us haggling over £2m and the owner says he is not going to accept the Liverpool price on offer and is instead happy for him to play in the Championship for them? Should he accept this, or take his chance to play for a huge club who are also league champions?

 

I think if we take a "sod him" attitude on situations like this, instead of fighting for a player, then, given our very recent history and what we have to offer compared to the likes of Man Utd, we may be destined to remain also-rans.

 

This idea that a player should be willing to sit tight and risk getting stuck at a Championship club, therefore risking his career just because we are interested is crazy.

 

Is dallying in the transfer market going to continue to be one of our main reasons for missing out on 1st choice players and a continued failure to challenge teh top teams bar the odd occasion? Hope not.

We aren't really sure if that's the case. I assume the people running the club have a value of what they think a player is worth. If they are deliberately lowballing that value and then sitting tight then it's asking for trouble. Sooner or later someone else will come in and gazump you. We don't have Champions League football to make that strategy work.

 

I'm not advocating paying over the odds. But with certain players, to get the deal done, you will have to go in with a tempting bid, not hope the player forces the issue. I'm not concerned about missing out on Adam. But for other top quality players we need to be decisive and close deals quickly

I don't think it did. I seem to remember them saying it was close as long as we matched what they wanted. I could be wrong though so feel free to show me as such.

[shaunstrudwick]

there are much better players out there than Charlie fucking Adam

okay my mistake just had a look and it said last sunday it should be completed monday thought it was that twitterer or whatever they're called who said it was done although I looked on a Blackpool forum and the view on that Twitter page generally seemed like they all thought it was full of bullshit

[Gibberer]

This. This. This.

Who in the Premier League would you rather buy for around the £8m mark?

Why in the Premier League?

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

Exactly. Half a season of impressive performances after a long career of mediocrity.

 

On to the next one.

[toneloc]

Why in the Premier League?

 

Tried and tested

[usernameunknown]

Jeez, people now believe a twitter page that even Blackpool fans laugh at?

[elvis]

Those two sentences are probably related.

Tom Cairney from Hull seems to be on the way acording to them.

a young, scottish, 6ft midfielder. I know nothing else about him. Someone enlighten us?

He’s brilliant unless the Mancs come in for him.

[aws]

Come on Henry - FFS don't miss out on Cairney as well.

Very good technically, scored a few goals last year. Looks a good player but still very raw like Shelvey.

 

Can play CM or on the left in midfield.

We were first linked with him last year

Tried and tested

 

Like Robbie Keane, Jermaine Pennant, Craig Bellamy, that sort of tried and tested. Xabi Alonso cost 10.5m. Not that we should have got him, not having been tried or tested and all. We probably should have left Reina were he was and got back Kirkland. Good tried and tested English lad that he is. Do I really need to go on?

Would everyone please relax now..........

First of all I wouldn't limit myself to the stupidly inflated transfer prices in thr Premiership. Secondly, i wouldn't waste my time or money buying a central midfielder having just signed Henderson.

Good point well made

 

Maybe tweet names such as Reina and Alonso to JWH along with how much we bought them for and in Xabi's case sold for. Perfect fit for his moneyball concept is Xabi. Bought for 10m sold at huge profit. Pennant, bought for 8m sold at a huge loss. Keane, sold at a huge loss
