Summer Transfer Thread 2012

[Unrighteous]

I hope there's something in these queresma rumours. Only to see the fools pretending he's the missing link.

 

Stage 1. Player A is widely viewed as average and shit

 

Stage 2. Player A is linked with Liverpool but the rumours aren't believed, player still mocked

 

Stage 3. Rumours turn out to be more than that and player A is starting to be talked about in much more glowing terms.

 

Stage 4. Player signs, he's the missing link, always rated him, very under rated player etc etc

 

Stage 5. Player starts to play for the club just so happens to be a bit shit.

 

Stage 6. See stage one.

 

Quaresma would be more like

 

Skip Stage 3/4 and Skip right to 5.

Joe Allen for 15M then hey.

[the walsh]

allen is a start but we will still need a replacment for agger another striker winger and possibly one more.

[WaltonRed]

just need it done before sunday so he can least have 90 with his new teamates before we play west brom

[kalasoma]

So £20M for Carroll and £30M for Agger? Gives us money enough for a decent striker. Unfortunately, the minute other clubs figure out that we might have £40-50M to spend,

the original price tag for any of our targets goes up.

 

I just don't get how Joe Allen is a £15M player.

He's British, and its us doing the buying.

I'm guessing you haven't seen him play very often?

[moof]

I'm guessing you haven't seen him play very often either?

Plenty, thanks.

That's strange, because going by the tone of your previous post one could assume you were unhappy with the potential signing. This obviously can't be the case if you seen plenty of him because he's been very impressive the last two years.

 

Considering the state of our midfield at times last season I can't see how anybody can be anything but pleased with this signing. He'll improve us quite significantly.

At no point have I said that I was unhappy with the potential signing.

 

I just don't think he's worth £15m. He'll will cost £15m because he's British, and its us doing the buying.

 

I think he's quite a good player, and will improve the squad. I'm not entirely convinced that spending £15m, of what will be a fairly limited budget, on a central midfielder is a great idea. Especially one that is neither proven as either a holding midfielder, or a goal scorer. He's, in my opinion, a much better version of Henderson. Henderson with bollocks. A link player, hopefully between Lucas and Gerrard. Ideally we'd get rid of Adam, Spearing, and Henderson.

 

As long as we sign two or three wide players/forwards, then I don't mind the signing. But I don't think we'll sell enough players to fund all the signings we need. I worry that we're going to get through yet another transfer window having failed to address the most pressing issues of our squad. Namely, we're slow as fuck and we don't score any goals.

[WaltonRed]

We're still to address the scoring issue

He is worse than Adam at defending/tackling.

 

Not bad going forward,just one hell of a risk on any defensive side.

 

Also dosent he get loads of yellow cards to or I mistaken him for someone else?

[Jairzinho]

Momo Sissoko?

That makes more sense. Why not make it £20M then?

This!

 

Except I wouldn't say he's much better than Henderson. That's more to do with how I rated Henderson, rather than a slight on Allen.

I have just been on a Sunderland forum and There s a thread about Allan on it.

 

The replies on him seem to be all agreeing Henderson is better than him.

 

Infact alot of the people on that forum want him back.

No surprise. Henderson is the best player to come through their ranks in god knows how long. They weren't happy to lose him at all last summer, even at the highest fee being reported.

 

They're very similar. The one thing Allen has over him right now is confidence but wait until he's playing at Anfield every fortnight, with every sidewards pass being met with groans. let's see how long his confidence lasts then.

[Guest LFD]

Borini is one step to doing that.

 

Also playing Gerrard higher up the pitch will help.

 

But yes we need some more attacking additions.

[WaltonRed]

we need someone who just scores goals, that damiao looks likes one for Brazil in the olympics but I doubt we'll be in for him

[billypilgrimnz]

Namely, we're slow as fuck and we don't score any goals.

 

Quoted for truth. Why does LFC have such a thing for slow plodders?

[Pidge]

Think you've been watching the wrong guy, because you'd have to be a fucking idiot to think that about Joe Allen.

[billypilgrimnz]

NO-ONE is worse than Adam at defending/tackling. I call shenannigans, good sir!
