Ketsbaia 0 Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 Richard Dunne Own goals aside he's a good defender and his current contract dispute at Citeh could work in our favour. Miguel Veloso We're being linked with him apparently. A good, very highly rated young defender from Sporting. Andrei Arshavin I'm surprised he hasn't been picked up by a bigger club yet. Every time I see him he looks world class. Exactly the type of player I can see Keegan going after. There's a fair chance there'll be bigger clubs in for him this summer but shy bairns get nowt. Mauro Zarate Looked quite good at Birmingham and he's another youngster. Money could be an issue since Al-Sadd wont want to let him go for peanuts. Aaron Lennon Out of favour at Spurs, he's a very attacking winger and another Keegan type player. His end product could be an issue but he's only 20 and seems to put the shits up defenders.

Andrew 4201 Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 A few weeks ago I'd have rubbished most of those (especially veloso, sporting are pretty much man utds feeder club they'll have him before anyone else) but since the keegan factor seems to have started flying around the club lately I have absolutely no idea which I love my cynical knowing stuff's not going to work has been replaced with blissful optimistic ignorance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo 133 Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 Van Buyten Van Der Vaart Yoan Gourcuff Samir Nasri Vagner Love Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I R Toon Fan 0 Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 Van Der Vaart is an awesome player so is Nasri. Love is on and off same with Buyten. Doesn't Gourcuff play for AC Milan? Seems a bit optimistic. I know Keegan has a way of getting players in but it may take a decent position next season to get some of these players. Zarate needs to prove himself throughout a full season. Lets see how he fairs in a English winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4201 Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 Van Buyten Van Der Vaart Yoan Gourcuff Samir Nasri Vagner Love Van buyten lacks any agility at all, would maybe struggle with the pace of the prem as a result VDV and Nasri I agree with IRTF Gourcouff is, I think, regarded as one of ACs most promising youngsters and he does get games for them, it's never gunna happen and I've never seen Vagner Love play so...

Howay 12452 Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 Al-Sadd want £15m for Zarate apparently because they paid £11.5m for him at the start of the season he's worth no where near that cash, does look a good little player though. Agree on the rest like I'd love to see us get a player like Veloso I think we need to start looking for Butt and Geremi replacements, they're both playing well at the minute but they aren't getting any younger .

I R Toon Fan 0 Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 (edited) Was surprised to see Butt pinging a few good balls around against Reading. Was one of the things that annoyed me about him (that his passing wasn't great). I think one of the most important buys is a def midfielder with pin point passing to pick out our new three "pronged" attack. Any suggestions?

I R Toon Fan 0 Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Tbh never really heard of Veloso. But heard good things recently. What kind of player is he and are anyone else sniffing round. Do we have a chance of getting him is what I'm getting at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hadrian 0 Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 (edited) Zdravko Kuzmanovic - Fiorentina . young, got an eye for a pass and goal , Fiorentina have champions league footy next season like , not sure if we could tempt him . the toon and arsenal have been linked with him , but cant see wenger spending cash unless flamini goes. prob cost us about 10-15 million . got a gaol after we were linked with him so maybe more by now manu and chelsea set the bar with the 20 milll kids veloso is a bit like a young nicky butt , with a smarter eye for a pass and maybe a few more goals in him .

acrossthepond 699 Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Vagner Love is a good striker, don't see him as really replacing either of our front three at the moment though. Zarate is going to be expensive, no doubt about it. I rate him though, he's made a promising start to his premier league career. van Buyten is excellent but ageing. Nasri will never join us, although it would be the capture of the century. Aboutreika is my African player of the year, he has done so much despite spending his entire (young) career at an African club, I think we should be making some enquiries about him.

Isegrim 8870 Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 I can only see van der Vaart joining a spanish team, a dream of him as his mother is spanish, or an English club playing in the CL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we have a chance of getting him is what I'm getting at. well Man Utd. are said to be interested. greedy fucks. they already have 4 excellent center mids. but yeah, he plays in front of the back four, he has an alice band but don't let that fool you, he's tenacious in the tackle, and has a really excellent left foot - he is very similar to Carrick although a lot more mobile and better at tackling but still has that range of passing. he'd probably cost 10-11 million Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 5899 Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Crouch and Lennon would be a good start. Arshavin will have bigger fish to fry I reckon but Bentley may be worth a try Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeazesMag 0 Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 lennon and dunne are rubbish both realistic and possible signings. Dunne is one of the best central defenders in the premiership BTW, in my opinion anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Lazaru 0 Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 I'm hoping Keegan pulls out one of those signings like a Ginola that basically nobody was thinking of/had even heard of and goes on to be special. Also now that the club has actualyl got a proper scouting structure and system in place hopefully we can sneak a couple of real bargains in there as well. I think Keegan will probably try to make a real statement of intent with his 1st signing if he can to say to other targets where he is taking us, because he does have to overcome the fact we aren't in europe. And who better than Keegan to talk players round to his vision of where we will be heading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money aside for once, he's been one of our most important players over the past few games and looks like he's finally getting back on form.
