Summer Transfer Thread 2012

[TheHowieLama]

We need to keep everyone add a LB as a challenge to Enrique, a CM ball winner, a winger and a centre forward

 

Could also get rid of everybody, add a LB, a CM ball winner, a winger and a centre forward. Tomato - Potato.

[Whelan]

Clint fucking Dempsey!

[satansmutt]

we need a striker a leftback and 4 new midfielders (none of them named Dempsey)

[Ne Moe Imya]

If we could set the bar about 10 feet higher than him we wouldn't need to sign a striker.

 

I can't be the only one who chuckled at that!

[MLB]

Lucas and Spearing will be our "ball winning" central midfielders.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

Lucas and Spearing will be our "ball winning" central midfielders.

 

We can't expect too much if we go into the season with only those two players in that position.

Joe Cole and Aquilani?

[MLB]

We have six central midfielders. Assuming that none of them are going to be sold (and I'm all ears if anyone has a good argument as to why someone will be) it seems unlikely that we will be signing anyone for that position. I don't think we have many problems in that position. I'm not convinced that Henderson will make it here but I don't think he will be sold, so it seems like a pointless discussion. We might as well talk about what right back we will sign.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

Joe Cole and Aquilani?

 

They're not "ball winning central midfielders", to be fair.

[LFC 6 Times]

Clint Dempseys boss, scored 20 plus goals this season and has a bit of bottle about him he's like an upgrade on kuyt.

[The Dude Abides]

Lucas and Spearing will be our "ball winning" central midfielders.

 

Spearing wins the ball once a game if he's had a good game.

 

We need a couple of players that have scored at least 15+ league goals a season, over a couple of season at least. Not half season and one season wonders.

 

Dempsey would be tempting, but then i look at this and think get fuck off you hippity hoppity cheesy bellend.

I think Adam should be as he is not good enough. I will be happy if we bring in Joe Allen to replace him. A class little player who passes well and moves just as well.

That vanguard of free journalism, the Metro, are running the story that we have lodged a £16m bid for Bologne's Gaston Ramirez.

 

I pray to baby Jesus this isn't the case. YT him, it's painful even with the kindness of a 'highlights' reel.

Midfielder that's played predominantly in Serie A, what could go wrong?????

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

Can't see us spending 16m on Ramirez. It'd be a risk signing, even if he is a tidy enough player.

[MLB]

He's foreign so he must be better than what we have.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

Being better than what we have isn't difficult, is it? He wouldn't be my choice, but still.

[JohnnyH]

If we sign Clint Dempsey I'll slaughter the innocents. He's got 49 league goals in something like 190 games. Surely we've had enough of buying strikers who don't score? He got 12 league goals last season. Any time previous in England his max league goals was 7. Fucking 7!

 

And let's not forget the fact he's a total fucking twat.

[Evil_Ways]

I'd be gutted if we signed Dempsey. Surely we must look to improve during the summer, not go sideways or backwards. Spend the resources we have towards players that will really make a difference.

Yeah. Yeah, that sounds sensible. Use our money to improve the team? If only we had thought of that last summer.

So he'd probably be our top goal scorer.

Hes been Bologna's shining light in a pretty terrible season for them. I would be happy to have him, he looks like a player with a great potential. But then i said the same for henderson....

[Babb'sBurstNad]

I'd be pretty pleased with Ramirez, he's only going to get better with age, and our track record with Uruguayans doesn't look too bad thus far.

Why do people keep saying that Dempsey is a striker?

I'd be happy to have him, although 16m seems risky to me. He has potential, but I think we can do better with our money.
