Summer Transfer Thread 2012

[Geraghty]

Not convinced by Ramirez, don't think he could handle the premiership. Can't even make the full uruguay team on a regular basis as he's struggled whenever he's been in the team. Would be a huge gamble getting him and he definitely would need a lot of time to settle. The guy is major lightweight.

 

He isn't lightweight at all lad,he's 6 foot and very strong

 

You make not getting on to the Uruguay team a bad thing they have class players and he made his debut before he was 22 that's brilliant.

YouTube Video or we deem him shite....

[Guest ShoePiss]

Its sound as if he was the mastermind behind the whole transfer when really he never had a hand in it.

Transfers take long time to take place; you could say that the players transfer was in the pipe-line long before AVB was assigned as Spurs Manager.

 

The whole thing stinks, and I would have hated it if the same thing happened to us when Buck was taking over.

In fact what Buck is doing now (i.e. talking to players, making sure they are all on the same page, consulting his staff, evaluating young and senior players ) is a much professional way to handle it.

 

Fuck AVB.

 

Doubtful.

[Babb'sBurstNad]

You can't really judge based on national squads as different managers favour different players. Alonso couldn't hold down a regular place in the Spain starting XI at the same age and that was before they were winning tournaments.

[WhiskeyJar]

Doubtful.

 

 

Still, agree to disagree I suppose.

Aye, I'm not arsed about him anyway. I didn't know enough about his game to be perfectly honest.

 

Still, I'd prefer we got a move on with our transfers if there are to be any which is where I was coming from originally.

His height is irrelevant. Ive seen him get knocked off the ball so easily. Yeah but when he made the team he couldn't stay in it as he underperformed. Plus he seems slow and we so need more pace in our team.

[Gym Beglin]

What do people think will be the BIG transfer story of the window?

 

I mean any team, not just ours.

 

 

I think Ibrahimovic may move on, and maybe Balotelli.

Both will stay i reckon but it will be RVP and sneijder.

We are all worried dude. There isnt a single soul here that is happy with our lack of transfers.

 

However you have to factor everything, then the picture becomes less worrying.

RVP leaving Arsenal is a huge blow to them, even the Premier League.

Balotelli, not so much.

Sneidjer would be massive if he comes to England, not bother if he ends up elsewhere.

They say they're not gonna sell him, but what does do they have as they can't afford to let him go for free(like last season). Well i have to wenger credit, because everytime they lose their top player they still continue to make top 4. When they lost vieira and henry everyone thought they would collapse. Then they lost fabregas and nasri and they still made the top 3. RVP will be a big blow but i think somehow wenger will do it again somehow Sneijder would have gone to the mancs last season but its his wages. I think he wanted something like 250k a week. But he doesn't seem the same player anymore

[The Woolster]

You're claiming to be the progeny of this man?

 

 

No, I'm claiming my mate to be the progeny of him.

 

Well, more of a mate of a mate when I was a teenager really. I did see him putting out the rubbish when I went round his house once though.

But they had a back up; someone to step up and fill the void.

You cant keep losing your best players and keep being up the table for long. They have consistently lost great players year after year.

At some point they are going to suffer for it, sooner or later.

 

Have to agree on your take about Sneijder. He is not as explosive as he once was. Need a reminder?

Wrong thread. That belongs in the claim to fame thread.

I did think about posting in that, but I've got so many I could be writing all day...

[John McClane]

Do we really need more signings, almost buying for the sake of it?

 

For me, at the moment our GK and defence is more than ample.

We have Lucas returning soon. Jay can cover temp.

The Captain has just proven (again) he is Englands best player.

Downing cannot, just cannot be as bad as last year.

Maxi is still with us with a manager that may suit his style.

Aquillani returning.

Progress of Sterling.

 

Up front we have Suarez and Carroll with Bellamy in his final year.

 

Perhaps free up wages on Cole to fund a back up striker?

 

Or is that too optimistic?

A couple of creative young attacking players (midfielders) and a young striker.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

It'd be suicide not to buy players.

[Russ Atmosphere]

It's Summer and therefore a fluid situation but I don't know how anyone could look at our current squad and think 'Nah, no signings required'. You'd have to have the most enormous faith that Rodgers was some kind of poo-polisher-extraordinaire.

[Russ Atmosphere]

That is the first time I've ever written poo-polisher-extraordinaire.

[Bobby Hundreds]

Too not sign anybody would not only be a disaster for our chances but the message it would send would be bad. Fans would go mental, players would question the clubs ambition and I'd be massively fucked off.

[JermainePennant]

Jay can certainly not cover for Lucas, last season made that clear.

 

We need a top class winger and striker as a priority and a back up dm.Other positions could be improved on but a striker and winger need to be added this summer to improve.

[Sir Psycho Sexy]

nowhere near enough quality in the forward areas and spearing is simply not good enough to even play as a backup. atleast 3 signings needed

Cant believe anyone can think like this , the worst post ive read in this thread.

 

Just sign a back up striker ? , Jay can cover Lucas ? relying on Maxi , Downing and Aquilani ? fucking mental , i guess your content with finishing 10th its the only explanation.
