ChezGiven 0 Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Even if we do sign this lad, it's a pretty underhelming replacement for Carroll. He's totally unproven in the premier league, just like the rest of our summer signings to date. We should just rely on Best then, as he has proven he can score in the premier league? It may be an underwhelming signing but he has a good reputation amongst the PSG fans I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monroe Transfer 0 Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 He had one mediocre season, after several decent ones with PSG and Sochaux. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got 8 from 22 in the league last season which is consistent with his career strike rate, not sure what the problem was last season but he certainly is popular. I would consider him a good signing, not fantastic and in the context of having £35m to spend, yes, maybe a bit underwhelming. We dont really have £35m to spend though but thats another story.

He may be a decent player but do we need another good player who, according to reports, does not want to play for us or live here? I don't have to break my leg twice to know that it hurts.

Gejon 2 Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Weren't the reports that he wanted to come but his agent wanted a stupid fee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChezGiven 0 Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Also something about the agent telling us the price PSG would accept was £10m when in fact they were prepared to accept less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deano 0 Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Would be a decent signing at 6.5mil....average of 8 in 20ish person is about 6mil quality isnt it? But he mite hit the ground running and thrive in the premier league, he's relatively young and has shown some promise, if he comes, give him a chance. Not the strong phyically presence up front i was hoping for like. Sturridge on loan as well would end the window well however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeithJ 0 Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Agent said PSG wanted 7.5mil and he wanted 5mil. For what? Making a few phone calls? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sniffer 0 Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Chelsea are rumoured to be offering Sturridge in the deal for Modric. That would be the end of that if it goes through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jusoda Kid 1 Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 If we were to get sturridge on loan I have no doubt in my mind that tiote will be going the other way, sturridge would be the sweetener to take the bitter taste away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin 1 Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Deano, why is your head so far up your anal cavity? How much do you know about erdinc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acrossthepond 878 Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Can't say this idea excites me. This is an example of us clearly "settling" for a second-rate player instead of having the drive to go out and get a better one. Should we be taking PSG's castoffs now after they get the player we actually wanted? Most likely we'll get him and that'll be the end of our transfer activity, which would be simply insufficient to improve on last season's league position even before we start talking about the 35 million and how it was (or wasn't) spent.

Tooj 17 Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 How do we know he's second rate though? Have you seen him play regularly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monroe Transfer 0 Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 How do we know he's second rate though? Have you seen him play regularly? This. He had one disappointing season by all accounts and PSG brought in Gameiro because they're owned by Qatar's sovereign wealth fund. That doesn't make Erding a castoff, perhaps he just won't fit into their system now. A different type of player as far as I'm aware. Would the club put this much supposed effort into a player they were "settling for"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney 0 Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 I'm sure he's been well scouted and a few French based journo's said he'd be a very good addition. Sounds like his agent is a prick though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMoog 0 Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Would have preferred Strurridge on loan and Barton to sign a new deal than this tbh... though neither were ever likely under our wankerish ownership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ally 0 Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 I'd be amazed if Srurridge goes anywhere on loan. Never heard of this fella but I have a bit of optimism given our recent scouting of Tiote. The days of signing 'big names' never delivered success so why not go down this route? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleeToonFan 1 Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 I hope we get him for 6.5 million, bargain for that price. Surprised some don't want us to just spend 35 million on him just to prove a point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEADMAN 0 Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 yea but you gotta understand that sure 6.5 million is cheap but what about his wages at 60k thats alot per week which mounts up on a year buy year basis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
