ewerk 26394 Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 I think he's implying we're going to get sued by someone for implying that Martins is lying about his age. Nice one Anal, drop us in the shite. 177856[/snapback] The club hasn't said a word about. They can sue Oliver all they want though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Patrokles Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 See, this is why that story was so damaging, because other people have picked up on it now and if it gets back to the player (as it will), he's not going to be entirely impressed that a potential new club has called him a liar.

Of course that would mean making an official approach for him, which I believe we have pencilled in for the 31st of August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I've said, if the window closes and we haven't got anyone, I'll be as crestfallen as anyone. But if we have to play the Wigan game with Shola and Luque rather than just buying a player for the sake of it, then so be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things are quiet because not much is happening. Why that is, I don't know, but I don't reckon we've had a bid accepted for any strikers. Inter aren't going to keep quiet and allow us to do a deal on the sly, as it's not in their interests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Patrokles Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 People act as though Wigan will turn us over if we don't sign anyone by then.

But it makes more sense to start the season with your full squad, and a decent compliment of strikers. It's perfectly possible that Wigan could beat us, and it's also true that we'd have a better chance of beating them with top class strikers to put away the chances.

sweetleftpeg 0 Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 We could easily drop points though if we're struggling to score. We could draw early games that we could have won with someone to put the chances away, those dropped points could be the difference between Europe and nowt.

Gemmill 34508 Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 I do think Shola's gonna score a few this season, but I nearly shat my colon when he went down clutching his knee against Ventspils. If that had been a serious injury, Kuyt would have all of a sudden cost us £15m and Inter Milan would have made us say "Obafemi Martins is only 18 years old" ten times before handing over our £20m for him.

This time last year we were fannying on like this and we were all convinced that we wouldn't be getting any strikers in before the window shut (be honest, not many thought we'd actually get Owen). When the window closed on 31st August, we'd signed two players on the last day and it was generally agreed it was: a ) too close for comfort b ) it would have been satisfying to have had them for the start of the season. Not to worry we though, we can learn from that mistake. 12 months on........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Patrokles Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 But the fact is, we probably COULD have signed A striker by now, but I'd rather we signed someone who was going to be a real quality player for us, rather than just someone who plays up front. How many here would have been happy with Hesky for six and a half million? 70% of people didn't even want Defoe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You aren't obliged to sign shit for the first 2.5 months you know. Wigan did, but they didn't have to. Kuyt for instance has been available to sign since the 1st of June......

I don't think there's much perhaps about it, to be fair. Now we seem to have a straight chouce between Kuyt and Martins, and given the magnitude of the decision and its implications, Roeder wants to make sure he doesn't blow £10 million on a dud. p.s. if Heskey scores a hat-trick against us then I want to be absolved of all culpability.

khay 8 Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Reports in the North East today claim that Newcastle United have turned their attentions to a new striker. It is claimed that manager Glenn Roeder is now interested in Wigan Athletic striker Henri Camara although Newcastle appear to have indirectly denied this via the local media. However, if Camara is a target, it could mean that they're not so confident that they'll land Liverpool target Dirk Kuyt from Feyenoord. Roeder will fly to Ireland to see Kuyt in action for Holland against the Republic on Wednesday. from koptalk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
