Dante_Lockhart Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Well, news is about that Sunderland have sold Kenwyne Jones to Stoke for 7million. We've missed a trick there. Could have offered Heskey + 6million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa89 Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Well, news is about that Sunderland have sold Kenwyne Jones to Stoke for 7million. We've missed a trick there. No we haven't. He's quite poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwpzxjor1 Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 He's good by Stoke standards. He wasn't gonna be good enough for here (a Europa club pushing for top 4, I believe we should still put ourselves in that bracket, regardless of the antics of the last week), but for a club looking to cement midtable and maybe think about starting to push the European places he can do a good job I think.

Davies4England Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Manchester United have spent £7.4m to sign Bebe, a relatively unknown 20-year-old from the Portuguese club Vitória de Guimarães, the Guardian can reveal. The deal was finalised today, with the player becoming the eighth senior striker on the club's books. United have paid the buyout clause to release Bebe – who was raised in an orphanage after spending part of his childhood on the streets and has represented Portugal in the homeless World Cup – from his five-year contract at Guimarães only five weeks after he joined the club from Estrala da Amadora in the Portuguese third division. He has been recommended to Sir Alex Ferguson by his former assistant, Carlos Queiroz, the Portugal national coach, and a deal has been rushed through for Bebe to become the third signing of the summer at Old Trafford. It takes the club's spending to around £25m following the arrival of Chris Smalling from Fulham and Javier Hernández from Chivas de Guadalajara, with Ferguson retaining a strong interest in Mesut Ozil, the Germany international. The United manager was at Craven Cottage to see Ozil play in a pre-season friendly for Werder Bremen on Saturday and, although he tried to pass it off as watching a Premier League opponents, the Guardian has established he stayed back at the end of the match to talk to officials of the Bundesliga club in the boardroom. There remain a number of obstacles to clear, not least the fact that Chelsea are interested, along with Real Madrid and, potentially, Barcelona. The signing of Bebe has been far more straightforward, with Ferguson understood to have met the player for the first time on Tuesday when he flew to Portugal, principally to be a witness for Queiroz in a disciplinary case with the Portuguese football federation. Bebe is described as a fast, technically gifted striker, right-footed and strong in the air, measuring 6ft 2ins. He has shown his potential with several goals in pre-season but his signing still represents a major surprise given Ferguson's recent insistence that he did not want to add to his squad and the player's low profile in Portuguese football. Queiroz has convinced Ferguson that he may have unearthed a future gem and Bebe will provide competition for Wayne Rooney, Hernández, Dimitar Berbatov, Michael Owen and Federico Macheda, with Mame Biram Diouf having joined Blackburn Rovers on a season-long loan and Daniel Welbeck on his way to Sunderland. http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2010/aug/11/manchester-united-sign-striker-bebe A lot of money for an unknown :shock: United fans are pretty annoyed as they want Ozil, who would only cost a bit more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister_Master Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 That sign... wow. Never saw him play. But some friends told me that he is a good player, but a little bit trouble maker. He is a winger or a #10. Btw Bebe = Baby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AustenTasseltine Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 'only five weeks after he joined the club from Estrala da Amadora in the Portuguese third division.' Blimey!

GarethRDR Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Christian "What did you say to me Rosenberg?!" Poulsen gone to Plop. Absolutely bat-shit crazy and a dirty fecker to boot, should fit in quite nicely down there. I'd imagine Mascherano will probably be off in the next few days now.

Dante_Lockhart Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 David Sullivan is such a knob head. "West Ham co-chairman David Sullivan has told Everton that they need to be ‘more realistic’ in their valuation of Yakubu Aiyegbeni after rating the striker at less than a quarter of an £8million asking price" Followed by.. "Liverpool will have to shell out £20million if they want to lure striker Carlton Cole to Anfield from West Ham" Contradictive ****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWeedMcGrass Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Dirty player but can do a job though. He was boss for Schalke and Seville, massive flop at juve though. He hardly played , they had Sissoko who could do the same job more effectively. I remember how he riled up Kaka in the CL when he was with Schalke. Gave him and Kaka a torrid time at the Aufschalke . Gattuso finally met his match , Poulsen was not to be bullied. They hate him in Italy for reasons we are all aware of. Still, for a skint(for) club like Liverpool and a rigid tactical man like Hodgson , he can do a destructive job in midfield and can distribute decently. Dirty , dirty word removed though , but he is the kind of player that is hated by everyone but appreciated by the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
