Ayatollah Hermione 12767 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Mark Douglas was talking on Twitter last night about how we're very keen on Matuidi but not going to stump up the cash. If that's the case, will be hard to believe we'll pay for Sturridge. ... or we're not willing to pay as much for foreign players (as it represents a bigger risk obviously) as we are for Englishmen. Just hoping though, not based on any evidence..... I just think we're not willing to pay a lot full stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that aswell But i think it might be to do alot with him being a midfielder and we're not in dire straits to be forking out that much for a Tiote type player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lake Bells tits 1 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 I just cant see us forking out what chelsea wants for sturridge. I think around 5-6 million is what ashley prefers to pay for any player max, MAYBE 10 for a new #9. Unfortunately that excludes alot of quality propositions.

Craig 6307 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 It's similar IMO to the Rooney situation in that the Mackems are playing the card we did with Rooney and setting the ball rolling. Wouldn't be surprised to see Wickham submit a transfer request now either. I said ages ago I'd heard it on good authority that he's off to Spurs. I still reckon that'll be his destination and the Yids not issuing a 'hands-off' warning with regards Jermaine Defoe could support that. isnt he a liverpool fan? if so more chance of him going to liverpool. tottenham have got a good record of taking good young english players to white heart lane so wont be too surprised if he ended up at either club. i reckon the fee will be around 10m with add ons taking it up to 13/14m. worth a pop but dont see cashley slashing out 10m on a unproven 18yr old I heard Spurs have first refusal on Wickham which would put the advantage in their court surely?

( a serious question ) I stand to be corrected but I've always understood it to be that permission needs to be sought by each club interested in signing a player under contract who has not requested a transfer and had that requested accepted. Example that sticks in my is when Man Utd were willing to listen to offers for Heinze..... from absolutely any club except Liverpool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barney 0 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Tramps closing in on O'Shea, Larsson, Westwood, Gibson, Brown, N'Gog and Dong-won. Don't know anything about Dong-won the rest of them are very average signings though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Bruce all over tbh. You might as well give him fuck all to spend as the results will be similar to giving him a fortune. Especially at Sunderland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1117 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Ngog has always looked shite and I've heard Gibson gets a shit load of stick from the manure fans. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see both Brown and O'Shea be shown up as very average players once they're out of a quality team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney 0 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 O'Shea isn't a bad player. His problem has been his versatility. I think he wants to be a centre back, but is one of the most 2 footed players I've ever seen and gets put left and right back. He was immense when ManUtd beat us here 6-2 at left back. Gibson = Guthrie. Slow, decent passing range, good long range shot. Brown is constantly injured. Another who wants to be a centre back, but wasn't good enough there for Fergie. N'Gog probably won't be good enough. If the fee is anything over £1m, they're being robbed. Massively underwhelming signings. Westwood looks a decent keeper, however.

StoneColdStephenIreland 74 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Sunderland getting rid of an average player and signing a bunch of average players, hmmmmm. Supposedly Liverpool's been quoted £19 million for Downing. I reckon everyone's looking to get in on the act of robbing them now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 13872 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 When you see players like Downing and Henderson going for £20m the £35m - or what's left of it doesn't seem like much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneColdStephenIreland 74 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 The amount of players that are going to be bought for between £20 mill and £50 is gonna be ridiculous. If players like Henderson and Downing are going for that much people are gonna be rating the Karl Henry's of this world at £10 mill a pop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nortoon 0 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Its incredible when you think that Neymars release clause is only 45mill euros. Thats about as much as Henderson and Downing put together. Who would you rather have. 2 Above average englishmen or the maybe biggest talent on the market. Gonna laugh when Liverpool barely qualify for the europa league.
