Summer Transfer Thread 2012

[The Dude Abides]

£15m seems fair. Get it done.

[DooooodekNo5]

Allen i cant really comment as ive not seen enough of him but if hes as good as people are saying we should try to palm Henderson or Adam onto them for him.

[WaltonRed]

15m is way too much

 

get him to kick off, get him to do what the mancs get players to do, they force it through and they save themselves money were as we get rimmed time and time again

 

he's good, I want him but not for £15m

 

If this was Kenny after him for that a lot of people would be moaning I reckon

[TheHowieLama]

That is - actually - all of him. (it never gets old)

[FrenchEyeGlass]

£15m?! Fucking hell. No way should we paying that for Allen. I think he is decent but he isn't worth £15m.

[WaltonRed]

I fully expect us to pay it that said, I hope its money up front then more on appearences and trophies, qualifications for cups and shit

[TheHowieLama]

Hedge on a growth spurt imo - 10 mil now - another 5 if he hits 6ft.

[Chinandeler Bong]

Ahhhh baulking at paying 15m for a player.

Them were the days.

[billypilgrimnz]

Please, please, please can we just start fucking playing again? Please?

[Tony Moanero]

I don't remember ever concerning myself with transfer fees years ago. Football is shite nowadays.

Someone will better tell him he's not at Swansea anymore.

 

not at swansea anymore.

 

What does bollocks even mean?

 

Some of you need to knock this shite on the head. He hasnt even managed a game yet and the usual shite is being peddled.

 

God help him if we dont win one of our first 3 games.

It means act like the Liverpool manager and not like the manager of Swansea.

How is saying that he wants rid of one of the worst transfers in the history acting like a Swansea manager? It took guts to come to a club and say something like that. It's not like Carroll has been banging 25 goals a season and he's offering him to our biggest rivals like Hodgson did with Torres.

[kalasoma]

Are City close to signing Van Persie yet? They've been awfully quiet, even on the rumours front.

Apparently City, united and Juve have all made offers.

Some of the shit about Rodgers has been well over the top and it's not just been the fucking idiots you'd expect it from either.

 

I do think he's dropped a clanger with the Carroll loan comments and chatting about Dempsey though.

The Dempsey thing wasnt his fault, some thick cunt at NESN puts it up on their website so we had to tell the truth.

I know Rob, just think he could have worded it better.

 

Hardly crime of the century though and a million miles from the crap Hodgson would come out with.

[Colonol]

This is getting ridiculous. So called fans slating our new manger before we have played a game. The fact is Carroll is not worth 35m and never will be. When you think of the quality of player that goes for that amount you expect him to be similar. He is technically poor, has no pace and I don't give a fuck that 1 game in 20 he is a beast of a player. For half that money he should be a beast at least 10 out of 20 games.

 

He was shite last season and didn't put a shift in either until the end of the season before the Euros. I can't defend a player that does that. Don't give me he wasn't fit bullshit because you don't have to be fit to put in the effort.

 

He was instrumental in getting Kenny sacked with his sub par showings on the pitch. Downing and him are a disgrace to the shirt with their lack of effort and let Kenny down. At least Henderson put a shift in and looks like making an effort even if he is currently scared of the ball. Adam (as much as I hate him) at least looked for the ball and tried to make things happen.

 

If the manger doesn't want this dross and doesn't see them fitting into his plans then we should just respect that decision and move on. It is not his fault the previous setup paid ridiculous fees and wages on players, it is just his responsibility to get the best deal he can when selling them. Personally I am interested in seeing can AC continue his form but if he is not in BR's plans then fuck it.

 

I for one won't care if he goes to another club and starts banging them in as they won't be playing the same style of football so it won't mean he would have been doing the same for us.

 

If BR sells outright then we will get a better price for him than selling him in a years time after him being on the bench and not wanted by the manager. If he goes on loan then at least playing for a team that gets the best out of him may mean his value will rise again.

 

Our last few seasons of buying shite for inflated prices and wages has set this club back years and it is up to BR to fix this mess. Let's just see what he can do.

 

I am not happy about spending 10m on Dempsey but if it happens so be it. I can't see it being in our top 20 worst transfers when the time comes to assessing it.

Seems like the Dempsey deal will happen sooner or later. A bit strange that these american sites seems to know it even before it's official though.

Dude, did you actually click on the Dempsey shirt?

 

Click me

 

PLEASE NOTE THAT CLINT DEMPSEY HAS NOT OFFICIALLY SIGNED WITH LIVERPOOL AT THE TIME OF THIS POSTING. We just hope he does soon!

[BringbackBiscan]

Would anyone have batted an eyelid if you heard a few months ago that Swansea were going for Dempseŷ and Borini this summer and offering Allen a new contract.

 

Mid table manager still in mid table mode.

[Gym Beglin]

Good post Colonel.

 

Carroll got Kenny sacked ultimately. It's no surprise that Rodgers doesn't want to pin his career on Carroll as well.

 

Redders, you can support Carroll, I'll support Rodgers, that's fine by me.

What makes you think he's a midtable manager?
