Summer Transfer Thread 2012

Exactly the sort of talent we should be trying to attract. Give it another 18 months and he'll be out of our reach. Do it now, before Newcastle or Sunderland make us look like cunts in the transfer Market once moe.

 

New Xavi couldn't make the Dutch squad

Looks a good player him...

[Babb'sBurstNad]

Kalou? I wouldn't say he's shit but just infuriating to watch. The fact that he has skill but manages to be lazy as fuck and choose the wrong option more often than not makes him seem even worse.

 

He gets goals because he gets served up chances by quality players, he's thrown on when Drogba's already run a defence ragged or the opposition is shit to start with. We'd need him to be more than the squad player Chelsea have used him as, and i don't see him making the step up.

[fowler9]

he is a strange player and one I change my opinion on regularly, I did think he was really good that season they last won the title though think it was 09/10

[SlugTrail]

I'd bring him in alongside de Jong. Game. Set. 4th.

I hope you're not suggesting anything by that?

 

Dutch team selection isn't a science, it's a popularity contest, I think we all know that.

 

The lad is 20, barely has 40 senior appearances at club level, and still nearly made the squad. 20. Takes all the set pieces for Feyenoord. 20.

 

He's basically Jack Wilshire but £30m cheaper.

Someone bell Brendan quick!

Kalou is rubbish. Kuyt is better than Kalou if we want a slightly out of place out wide forward who scores the odd goal.

I may also add that I will have grave concerns about Rodgers if we start off by signing players he has worked with before. Swansea weren't very good, Kalou isn't very good. Need to target better players rather than just comfortable ones.

[BringbackBiscan]

I see the words free transfer mentioned a lot. Have we learned nothing from Degen, Cole, Jovanovic etc.

 

Where exactly do you expect the hefty signing on fee and wages to come out of? Signing any player, will have an impact on this seasons and future budgets.

 

Bosman signings always get a decent wedge and can be very hard to shift if they don't work out. As we should know all to well. We've only paid some of them off not that long ago.

Agree and very well said. Enough of all this rubbish to average players we've linked to. Please get a proper player and dont sell Aquilani. Aquilani > Adam and Henderson.

I think that reading this post has been detrimental to my intelligence.

You have a problem with that post of mine boy?

I'm guessing the Aquilani bit.

[Jairzinho]

Yes, its ridiculous to claim he might be a better footballer than Adam or Henderson.

Read a few articles about him the week after a dubious source linked us, sounds class and would be a good foil to Lucas, but could perhaps cover for him as well if his defensive side is as good as the reports said (I can't open Youtube at work, so not seen him yet). Also sounds like he might not want to leave just yet.

aquilani is one cheeky twat, he asked to be released then is suprised when we say no

 

just take 3m and fuck him off

[CWD82]

Redknapp leaving Spurs probably wouldn't have much influence on this as I doubt they could sign Adebayor permanently due to the wages but where will he be off now?

 

17 goals and 11 assists in the league, he'd be a good signing for someone. If we could get him on loan it could be a decent bit of business

Can he play Tika Taka?

Can Danny Graham?

I don't care how much of a cunt Adebayor is, he can score goals and if we can get him on loan and possibly only pay 50% of his wages, then I'm in.

[fowler9]

particularly if he scores against Arsenal and does that celebration is

[WaltonRed]

City wont loan to us though, Spurs are in this weird bracket were loads of clubs are happy to loan to them

I think they would

[WaltonRed]

Fair do's but I dont think we should get adebayor anyway

[fowler9]

yeah don't see why they wouldn't allow us to if they didn't have a better offer, I'd say Spurs last year were more of a threat to them than we are now

 

but I like to have a variety of strikers and we've got the target man in Carroll, the allround brilliant one in Suarez, pace in Bellamy if we opted to use him there so I reckon we need a poacher, the sort that does fuck all but scores a lot
