angrysteve 0 Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 That's actually not a bad shout. Similar sort of player to Martins. As long as he didn't want big wages his pace could be useful. Replacing Andy Carroll with Yakubu is like replacing Chris Waddle with Billy Whitehurst. Clown. Still angry at this point were we? Cheer up I wasn't suggesting Yakubu was a replacement for Carroll, but I think you know that. At least I hope you do. Surely not? Anyway.. According to this.. Stephen Ireland .. could be available for £4 million. That would be a steal as long as he would accept a big wage cut because I would imagine his wages are astronomical having moved from City reluctantly. He was one of City's best players only a few seasons ago and he is still only 24 or so. could say the same about Joe Cole or SWP (other than being 24) but they both look finished...

Kitman 2207 Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 My shortlist would be... Strikers = Huntelaar 8mil, Derdiyok, Wickham, Sturridge 8mil and Hooper Midfielders = Larsson, Krancjar 4mil, Jarvis and Lens 6mil. Defenders = M'Bengue 6mil and Naughton 4mil. ---Krul--- Simpson---Taylor---Coloccini---M'Bengue ---Barton---Nolan---Tiote---Jonas--- ---Ben Arfa--- -----Huntelaar----- Subs: Forster, Naughton, Williamson, Gosling, Krancjar, Lens and Sturridge That would be a great starting 11 and options on the bench. Enrique 8mil, Lovenkrands 1mil and Smith 1mil sold. Ferguson and Ranger out on loan. Shola, Best, Guthrie, Raylor and squad players. Kadar, Folan, Vuckic, Lua-Lua and Airey young lads to blood in cup games and last 15/20 mins of games we are comfortable in. 36mil spend, 10mil from sales = Net spend 26mil. That would be a pretty superb summer and one we should be aiming for. It'll be interesting to see how many on your shortlist actually join us, and how much the net spend actually is. Of course all fees will be undisclosed but we can have a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTF 7496 Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Wages would be key. If he's willing to take a big pay cut then that's a good sign that he has the right intentions. Yakubu is fat and doesn't give a fuck. Saw him play for a few minutes the other day and he went to ground with no contact, not because he was attempting to win a free-kick but because he tripped over when trying to run, having long forgetten how to do so.

Of course all fees will be undisclosed but we can have a go. Won't matter, one part of the financial disclosure for the new UEFA rules is a transfer payable table: The transfer payables table must contain the following information as a minimum (in respect of each player transfer, including loans): a) Player (identification by name or number); b.) Date of the transfer/loan agreement; c) The name of the football club that formerly held the registration; d) Transfer (or loan) fee paid and/or payable (including training compensation and solidarity contributions); e) Other direct costs of acquiring the registration paid and/or payable; f) Amount settled and payment date; g) Balance payable at 30 June in respect of each player transfer; h) Due date(s) for each unpaid element of the transfer payables; and i) Conditional amounts (contingent liabilities) not yet recognised in the balance sheet as of 30 June. Of course that may remain confidential to clubs and UEFA Edited May 4, 2011 by Toonpack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StoneColdStephenIreland 74 Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 What about David Goodwillie who plays for Dundee Utd, like Hooper he's been banging in the goals for the past couple years and won young player of the year twice in 2 years and is still only 22, might be an option to bulk up the squad and would only cost £2 million max, but obviously we need 2 more proven strikers ahead of him IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think it's a big punt on someone who we haven't seen the best of, (apparently) has a shit attitude, (seems to be) injury prone and who may never recapture his previous form.

KrulsCurtains 0 Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Wonder if we can nab Bellamy on loan if Cardiff don't come up? I think we'd be able to get Shay back cheap but not sure if the 'regime' would have him back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StoneColdStephenIreland 74 Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Wouldnt be surprised to see us go in for Robbie Keane unfortunately and Reo-Coker with him being a free agent at Villa, plus Pardew's already worked with him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khay 10 Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Wouldnt be surprised to see us go in for Robbie Keane unfortunately and Reo-Coker with him being a free agent at Villa, plus Pardew's already worked with him I can see Reo-Coker coming here and for free he would be good back up for Tiote. I understand his limitations but I don't see it as a bad deal. He does seem to be made captain everywhere he has been as well. I know he has played at right back before as well but I can't comment on if he was actually any good there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4851 Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Don't know who we'll sign but really looking forward to the summer and the window opening. All the gossip, incomings, outgoings.

StoneColdStephenIreland 74 Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 It opens July 1st and Reo Coker wouldnt be a bad signing but i'd only get him if we let Smith go which hopefully will happens so we've got a replacement too, who can come in for Tiote when he gets all his suspensions next season And how anyone can look forward to this summer is beyond me, it's going to be absolutely shambolic IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
