Shearergol 0 Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 If our scouts have watched him already why does GR need to see how he performs in the WC? Touraments are no way to judge how a player will do in the league imo. 139963[/snapback] Baros..... 139966[/snapback] And wasn't Savo Milosovic top scorer of Euro 2000 after flopping at Villa? As ChocChip says, surely if we've had him scouted we know how good he is. On the flip side, we bought Tomasson who scored shitloads in Holland and he turned out to be rubbish. 139974[/snapback] Liverpool tend to be the experts at buying the tournament players though don't they. I do think we're struggling for money though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyluke 2 Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Perhaps it's do with us not having any money to spend? 139973[/snapback] All the more reason to sign him before the WC before his price doubles. This club sometimes - . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well known he's being ushered in as his successor at Arsenal and for the record he is a very good player tbh. Edited May 25, 2006 by Sima Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 46098 Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 This is blatantly a case of his agent telling him to say he's interested in coming here to spark some bids for him. We've seen it a thousand times before. Anyone who knows that plenty big clubs are after him but comes out with "Playing for the Toon is my dream" is on a wind-up tbh. We're being used as a pawn to engineer his big move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wacko 0 Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 never gonna happen tbh, nice idea though but we'll only spend big up front if we lose owen unless owen has already agreed to join the pool? 139820[/snapback] I'd rather have Kuijt, to be honest. You'll probably outbid us again 139878[/snapback] I think this time you would win, since you wouldn't be having to pay more for a player than you sold him for not long ago as was the case with Owen. So hopefully you won't be bidding!!! 139882[/snapback] We couldn't have offered anywhere near 17m, anyway. Liverpool tend to be the experts at buying the tournament players though don't they. I do think we're struggling for money though. 139976[/snapback] 7m loss on Diouf and we still haven't managed to offload Diao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
