S-Clarke Posted 26 August, 2010 Share Posted 26 August, 2010 I guess Reading are asking for a crazy price for MA and we won't be taken to the cleaners and rightly so. The rumours are that they were asking upwards of £1m which is real madness, we've made a couple of bids of around 300-500k apparentley but they've been rejected. i wouldn't personally pay more than 300k for him.

For a guy with about 20 first team starts but with potential I think 300-400k with add ons would be fair, but no way over 500k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chez Posted 26 August, 2010 Share Posted 26 August, 2010 Centre half, tall, good in the air, questionable distribution, quiet on the pitch, lacks pace. Basically the same description you'd give to Seabourne I'd of thought mroe like Martin or Jaidi as Seaborne isn't slow, for a centre back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence they can ask for a wedge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperMikey Posted 26 August, 2010 Share Posted 26 August, 2010 Not worth paying over the odds for Antonio, especially when he's on a free at the end of the season. Would love Ivan Sproule to come here, he's absolutely electric and knows a thing or two about rough football having played in the SPL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint 76er Posted 26 August, 2010 Share Posted 26 August, 2010 Here's two rumours from 606 & Echo, both involving highly promising youngsters on season long loans from Liverpool reserves, each with options to buy at 1 million... David Amoo aged 19 very fast right winger signed from Millwall in 2007. Michael Agoo aged 17 (18 in Oct) 6' 4" striker signed from Southend last September. Said to be down here talking to Pardew. I kid you not about the similar names. Make of this what you will... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has not signed though but it sounds like it could be one we're seriously looking at. She also tells me that Vassell had a medical over a week ago and his signing is well RUMOURED to be on the cards but if it's not him then someone else othe than this Gonzalez will be.

SaintRichmond Posted 27 August, 2010 Share Posted 27 August, 2010 It's not as if no foreigners or small people have been successful in England is it. There's an odd myth that we have the most physical leagues but you see just as many bad challenges abroad. The difference seems to be refs not letting so much go in other countries. It does make you laugh when you consider that a large percentage of players in the so called ENGLISH league are FOREIGNERS When you think of some of the hatchet men of Italian Football ( remember Gentile ) ?, makes even John Terry seem like Graham Norton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WATERSIDEIFASAINT Posted 27 August, 2010 Share Posted 27 August, 2010 Very worried after reading that latest interview from AP.We still need 3 players imo to be brought in not 1!!!! Why is he now not looking to bring in a back up striker for Rickie that he has said he needs?? Not convinced by Jaidi and think we need another cb We also need the pacy winger In the ideal world I would also bring in another cm as I would not want Wooton or Pulis anywhere near the 1st team. So far I have been totally underwhelmed with our transfer activity this summer.Actually I am very disappointed in it after AP said we would have a squad capable of challenging in the ccc not just div 1 by the end of the summer.So what has changed.Is NC unwilling to back AP? We have a good team but not the team I thought would destroy this league this season with the signings we were led to believe were likely to happen this summer. Hope to be proved wrong by the end of Tuesday night with 2/3 new additions I think we really need to add some serious competition for places in our squad.

Pardew must have spent close to £4m on this squad and so far we've had two poor sides in Orient and Plymouth come to St. Mary's and contain us.
