jasthevillan Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Surely SWP is an possible option. SSN are reporting today that he could be one his way back to Man City or go to West Ham. Surely we have a realistic chance of signing him if he is interested in moving elsewhere. He is probably going to cost £10 million, Is he really twice the player Milner is. Give me Milner any day of the week. MON will make him a better player. He has got that little bit of extra quality that costs more because it is less abundant! eg. Is Ronaldinho twice as good as Rooney? One will cost £70m the other around £35m but he ain't twice as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelle Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Just a question on transfers. Is it allowed for 2 clubs to meet an agreement and sign papers and the player to sign long before the window opens? And if it is, is it allowed for the clubs to make it official?

And if it is, is it allowed for the clubs to make it official? nothing to stop them all the rules do is make sure the player can't play for the new club until the window opens, he can still play for the selling club So for many reasons this rarely happens, the player cant be registered until the window so technically he still belongs to the selling club. Of course the buying club can insist he isnt played but then they get a player in Jan who is lacking in match practice but should they play him to keep him match fit, he could get injured Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 The club wanting to buy will also not want it to be made public, to stop any other clubs coming in for the player they want. West Ham made a private enquiry for SWP, its Chelsea who made it public.....it doesn't take a genius to figure out why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would make a strange situation. Surely he wouldn't be played. I would find it hard to play a player who's already done and dusted for another team in any game. Think his mind would be elsewhere, to say the least. So I think you're right in that it doesn't happen very often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRL Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Wouldnt mind a world class CM, a world class right winger, along with a world class striker. Along with the new Dylan cd, and maybe a bottle of Morgan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but it does kinda happen when players contracts runs out and they sign agreements with a new club in January but doesn't start till July. Ok thats between the buying club and player and not club to club but still happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point your making is valid but thats a bad example on both fronts, I'd take Rooney over Ronaldinho and I think that Rooney (not for sale at any price) would cost nearer £60million than 35 and Ronaldinho (not for sale at any price) about the same.

Lucas Neill at right back would be a very welcome addition, IMO. Wouldn't cost too much either, I rackon. Didn't he almost go to the red scousers in the summer?
