Isa Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 You'll have to watch a Paul Lambert training session with Sylla, Tonev and Bennett as punishment. No...please...NO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Benteke signed a 5 year deal at the beginning of the season... Pretty sure he's only got 2 years left on his current deal at the end of this season mate.... He signed a 4 and half year contract in 2013 so I assumed that meant til 2018.

Villain-from-Texas Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 If Sherwood is in charge of the signings I expect he'll sign a load of overpriced English based tat, MON style. I know he doesn't have any track record making signings but he just seems like that type of manager who won't look abroad and will instead pay over the odds for English players and players with a poor attitude that he thinks he can get the best out of. It's as valid an opinion as any other I suppose. He does hate foreigners, like Benteke, Vlaar, Grealish and Bacuna. When did he sign those players? Like I said it's just speculation but he seems like the type of manager that would sign players like Joey Barton or players who are hard workers but don't have any skill. Hopefully it won't be the case. Bacuna has been a regular after being frozen out previously and he's the very definition of hit and miss. This is a myth. Bacuna wouldn't be playing if Hutton was healthy. Sherwood has done loads right, obviously, and deserves much credit. But I don't understand crediting him for Bacuna (who should be playing regularly, somewhere on the pitch). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted April 21, 2015 Author Share Posted April 21, 2015 I think he's handled Bacuna reasonably well though - he could have dropped him for Lowton after a poor performance or two, but he stuck with him and this seemed to give him the confidence to up his game somewhat.

Popular Post Rob182 Posted April 22, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted April 22, 2015 - Sign Cleverley, Sinclair and Sako on free transfers. - Offer Vlaar a new contract on (only slightly) improved wages. - Offer Benteke a new contract, but if he doesn't sign it, keep him for next season anyway. - Try to sell Lowton, N'Zogbia, Tonev & Luna. - Offload the freebies: Bent & Herd etc. - Then.... Offer James Milner a bumper contract and signing on fee to come back to his second home! Imagine a midfield diamond, with Milner in the deeper role, Cleverley to his right, Delph to his left and Grealise at the tip! Energy, creativity, strength in the tackle and goals from the lot of them!! I would offer Milner all of Bent's and Lowton's wages combined, if it meant I got to see that combination of Englishmen in midfielder. /fantasyworld. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lapal_fan Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 I'd like to see that Rob182, it would be class! Think we could really play around with narrow/wide formations with Gabby/Sinclair/Grealish as options too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packoman Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 (edited) Offer Vlaar an improved wage? With his injuries I'd only offer him a lower wage or one based more off games played/being fit to play. Edited April 22, 2015 by packoman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 I think Everton trying to offload Barry in summer is it being too nostalgic? only issue I have with him is he gets too many yellow cards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanO Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 The Daily Mail are reporting that we are going in for Massimo Luongo of Swindon. I watched him in the Asian cup here in Oz and I was impressed so if it's true then I'm happy with this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 I think Everton trying to offload Barry in summer is it being too nostalgic? only issue I have with him is he gets too many yellow cards I think it is. He has maybe 20 games a season in him now and let's face it he's fat and very, very slow. If he looked after himself better he could have had a longer career but there's a reason Everton are trying to offload him (2 years left on his deal IIRC).

In the context of the quoted discussion, he has stuck with Bacuna over the Englishman Lowton. I was not necessarily giving him "credit" for this. Edited April 22, 2015 by dont_do_it_doug.

Can you give us a bit of a rundown on the guy please? Lively attacking midfielder with a good eye for a pass. He absolutely bosses the midfield quite often at this level. He was awarded the best player of the Asian cup recently, he's somewhat the 'darling' of Australia at the moment. Apparently before leaving Spurs, where he was with Sherwood, Sherwood wanted him to stay on but Luongo chose to join us because Spurs had so much strength and depth in midfield at the time and he wanted games. We rejected a 2.5M bid for him in January so he'll likely go for 3-4M, Although Tim Sherwood and Lee Power (our owner)are close friends so there's on knowing what deal might be struck. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
