sam100 Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Etherington and MAaooney linked to Everton and Fulham respectively this morning, I think they could both do a job for us. Who? Anyway, Etherington for me is a player that was fairly good at CM a couple of years ago. Is he really that good in the real world? Etherington would be a decent squad filler, suprised the hammers are willing to let him go tbh. Maloney could be worth a look but suspect MON is looking elsewhere at the moment. No ta etherington what would be the point? he plays in young and barrys position so we don't need him as a short term player, and hes definatly not good enough for the long term, if we want to be competing in europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notoriousjim Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Ronaldinho anyone? "There are no problems between Ronaldinho and Barcelona and everything is going well, but that doesn't mean that we will not take in consideration other offers. For example, we know there is interest from a team in the United States." :? WTF why would the best player in the world choose to go to a football graveyard in his prime? I think they're angling for a Beckham sized wage deal to keep him in Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANNY_DYER Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Please, not Barton. May be a great footballer, but not the kind of person I want at my club. I think you'll find people close to him and himself through an interview I read he has done a lot of growing up. I think at £5.5 million he'd be a steal for us.

BOF Posted January 23, 2007 Moderator Share Posted January 23, 2007 I think they're angling for a Beckham sized wage deal to keep him in Europe. If that was true then my opinion of him would have fallen even further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 riqelme is too slow for the Premiership....his distribution is brilliant...but he's just too bloody slow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted January 23, 2007 Moderator Share Posted January 23, 2007 Riquelme wouldn't get anywhere near the time on the ball in England that he gets in Spain. I'm sure he'd do fine as class tends to shine through but I think he would have the same problems over here that Angel has had for much of his Villa career.

I'm sure he'd do fine as class tends to shine through but I think he would have the same problems over here that Angel has had for much of his Villa career. I have a tendency to agree with you - I think the pace of the game would be a bit beyond him (I think he might have a similar experience to Veron - excellent in European games where there is more space, but struggling slightly in the bluster of the English Premiership). He is so good though, I am surprised that no one else has made a bid.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ponky Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 We could hoard all the central defenders just to piss off Mourinho! Hey Jose! We'll send you Ridgewell on loan if you sell us SWP on the cheap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crossman Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Not that it's even remotely likely to happen, but Beckham on loan anyone? His wages alone until the end of the season would cost us a couple of million, so no thanks. Would rather put that towards a Diop signing...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 This was mentioned after the world cup....but eveyones forgotten now...i think a perfect player to sighn in a Mccann type role would be Stephen Appiah..from intermillan...he's strong..tough tackling...and he can score em too...!!!!! And he's a good passer of the ball...Great Anchor man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno either, but if we are to take the reluctance of 20 Premiership managers to even enquire about him I think we can assume they may have the same reservations.
