Of course it would take going and watching them to find out if in fact they were any good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nortoon 0 Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Erik Huseklepp would be a better shout if u want norwegians. Signed for Bari in january for about a million. They are now relegated and there have been reported trouble about them paying the installments, he shouldnt cost much. I would consider him a Peter Løvenkrands who has strenght, pace, stamina and a bit of a trick. He's regularily featuring for Norway and can play as a winger if needed.

Deano 0 Posted May 5, 2011 Author Share Posted May 5, 2011 Gomis, Gameiro and M'Bengue would all be good signings in my opinion. Seen a bit of that huseklepp and thought we looked gash tbh. Whats that Henriksen kid like for rosenberg? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sniffer 0 Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 I agree that it smacks of a lack of ambition, but if I have to, I'd rather watch a younger player who wants to win than a never-has-been-or-ever-will-be who is here for the money. For example, Connor Whickham or Carlton Cole? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you sell players for profits ? Why not get the best years of their careers out of them instead ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deano 0 Posted May 5, 2011 Author Share Posted May 5, 2011 (edited) Clueless? Thats a matter of opinion really. A different outlook and i dont dwell on the past. Im not happy being a selling club, id much rather get young prospects in, blood them and build a team round them but nowadays, when we arent in europe, any young prospect who looks the real deal will be attracting attention from the bigger clubs who can offer more than us. Its simple really. Once we are consistently challenging top 7 then we will be able to keep them kinda young prospects. The money in the mean time will of course help the club.

If we could nab him I'd be amazed, only 19 and has the world ahead of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What young players would you like us to go for then? are you going to accuse me of "derailing" this just for pointing you in a different direction to you/disagreeing with you ? Have you seen those players you name, or are they just from a computer game or youtube ? Are you insinuating we haven't bought promising young players before ? Because if you are, thats crap.

acrossthepond 878 Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Lets put this into perspective what you're saying is, say we sold Tiote, Enrique, Barton, Ben Arfa all for profit and kept Nolan you'd be happy? If we then used the money we'd got off of selling the first four for profit to buy superior players in those positions, yes. And I would be too. But that's where it all falls down. That simply is not going to happen. We've now sold Carroll for a 35m profit. Are we going to buy a superior striker to Carroll with that money? Probably not. Are we now going to buy a good striker with that money and use the remainder to improve other problem areas of the team, like CB, fullbacks and wide players - let's say Demba Ba 12m, Chris Samba 10m, Phil Jones 8m, SWP 5m (and I'm just picking names out of a hat here without regard for realism/wages/whatever)? That would be brilliant and - if you ask me - the best possible use of the Carroll money, although we need more than one good striker to come in. But is any of this going to happen? No, and I think we all know it will not. We'll be linked with endless players, we'll make some derisory bids, some good players will go and we'll sign some dross on free transfers/bargain basement deals and then we'll have a late flurry of activity leading to another deadline day where we sign no-one. During this entire process, we'll sign some unproven players from foreign leagues. One may come good, a couple will be decent, the rest will be crap. And at the end of the day, our net spend will be under 15m, probably even under 10m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
