Jez Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Agree with both them deals, i dont think they would have a hope in hells chance of going through mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Thats my point Jez. I think we are involved in deals, not necessarily those two thats just speculation, but I dont think it's as simple as saying "we're buying "X" for so many millions". I think there are complexities to be sorted before they can happen. Whether that is player swap or player sales Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocafella Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Jagielka wouldn't bring us forward, so no thanks. We should have gone for Lauren. Bring in quality that makes McCann and Davis fillers, not the other way around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villafan306 Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 I'd say everything will kick off tomorrow afternoon tbh. Watford will have to buy one or two people, Wigan are after 3 or 4 players, Hendrie will hopefully be on his way, Newcastle/Spurs/West Ham/ourselves still have moeny to spend too.

Jez Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Jagielka wouldn't bring us forward, so no thanks. Err yes he would he is the exact type of player Spurs started buying a couple of years ago as they were building. Not every signing will take us forward and be a world superstar, Young certainly wont over night neither would Jagielka but he is just as good as his job. Thats my point Jez. I think we are involved in deals, not necessarily those two thats just speculation, but I dont think it's as simple as saying "we're buying "X" for so many millions". I think there are complexities to be sorted before they can happen. Whether that is player swap or player sales Yeah i know what you mean, its whether we are in with any deals or whether MON is winding down now after no luck with his last few. Not long to wait either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villafan306 Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 I am pretty sure we won't be kicking back doing nothing. Tbh I wouldn't rule out a signing Wednesday, so what if we have a match? I'm sure with all the money Lerner has MON et al with have mobile phones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldFart Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Sorry to come in a bit late on this. Along with the great truths spoken by Guardian_Angel_M, I really think Rocafella is largely right in what he says about Aimar, except that I'm not all that sure about him falling out with managers. He's a wonderful little player but isn't all that suited to Spanish football and would be even less suited to English football. He is nothing like physical enough. Ortega must be in his dotage, quite apart from other problems, not least the one of being one of the biggest prats on this earth. "The Little Donkey" had an arse like a donkey too. Richard mentioned Tarantini. After only a couple of games it was clear that this was one of SHA's greatest signings of all times, although there has been a challenge in recent times from the likes of Anderton and Pandiani. I only wish Tarantini had stayed for many, many years at the Sty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David-Copenhagen Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Lee Hendrie and 5M for Jagielka anyone? yep Jlloyd Samuel and 9M for Bale anyone else? Yep again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmygreaves Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Jlloyd Samuel and 9M for Bale anyone else? After what the General said in....... errrrrr... his thread, I wouldn't be surprised if this happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasthevillan Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 and no one remembers Crespo???!!!! Yep the guy who scored more goals per game than any other Chelsea striker despite never getting a run of games. I think he can be counted as a success as he clearly was more than capable of scoring when given the chance. Spot on Crespo was quality in comparison to the other strikers but the press hounded him out IMO. I see something similar happening to Shevchenko at the moment, some people just expect because of his reputation he will just fall on his feet and be quality. I think we should go for Giles Barnes, my brother in law follows the sheep and he has had a major role in their movement up the league, a biger impact than Huddlestone had there apparently.

jasthevillan Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 how do we know bale is any good has anybody actually seen him play is this just another overated lb like ashley cole? Exactly how over-rated is Ashley Cole? He may be a clearing in the woods but he is a top draw footballer, especially when he played for Wenger. I can't think of a better left back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have and he is good, Wales youngest international and youngest goalscorer too and it weren't a fluke or tap in. Younger when he played for Wales than Giggs, Speed, Southall, John Charles.

jasthevillan Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 These days you pay for potential, the boy has it. The scouts of Man U, Arsenal and Spurs all feel he is worth in the region of £10m and if you look at how they nurture talent I'm with them.
