Wiggles31 Posted 22 March, 2013 Posted 22 March, 2013 Again with Liverpool and Spurs also interested. Can we beat them again?! Any Spanish football boffins know much about him? See he has 2 Spain caps so can't be bad.
itchen_dan Posted 22 March, 2013 Posted 22 March, 2013 Also in the Daily Star apparently. I'll be honest, I've heard the name before but don't know much about him. Then again if he's being linked with clubs such as Liverpool and Spurs for £8m, he must be pretty decent.
Mowgli Posted 22 March, 2013 Posted 22 March, 2013 Really? Very poor scoring rate for a striker. And £8m for someone who is not a First team regular seems a Lot of money
Bearsy Posted 22 March, 2013 Posted 22 March, 2013 And £8m for someone who is not a First team regular seems a Lot of money i spose falcao would keep most strikers out the team to be fair.
Saint Garrett Posted 22 March, 2013 Posted 22 March, 2013 I know very little about him. His goalscoring record isn't great though. Played 17 times for Athletico this season.
pap Posted 22 March, 2013 Posted 22 March, 2013 Piece on him here in relation to a possible Arsenal move back in Jan:- http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1469615-arsenal-transfer-news-gunners-should-avoid-adrian-lopez-transfer
Mowgli Posted 22 March, 2013 Posted 22 March, 2013 i spose falcao would keep most strikers out the team to be fair. Fair point and this has been offered as a reason for his inconsistency in Spain.
Wiggles31 Posted 22 March, 2013 Author Posted 22 March, 2013 His goal scoring record is rubbish really.
MOSaint Posted 22 March, 2013 Posted 22 March, 2013 Poor goalscoring record however he is often shoved out on to the wing when he plays for Atletico.
Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 22 March, 2013 Posted 22 March, 2013 He's a good player, not great scoring record but would be perfect playing off SRL. 8 million is going rate I suppose, JRod was 7...
Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 22 March, 2013 Posted 22 March, 2013 Also gossip though is that Norwich have agreed an 8.5m fee for Ricky Van Wolfswinkel. Now he is worth that kinda money.
sussexsaint Posted 22 March, 2013 Posted 22 March, 2013 Apologies fro the thick question but how can we make offers for players outside of the transfer window, especially at a time when our PL status is not exactly 'nailed on'
KelvinsRightGlove Posted 22 March, 2013 Posted 22 March, 2013 Also gossip though is that Norwich have agreed an 8.5m fee for Ricky Van Wolfswinkel. Now he is worth that kinda money. Can't get my head around that. Wasn't all that long back he was linked with moves to Utd.
KelvinsRightGlove Posted 22 March, 2013 Posted 22 March, 2013 Apologies fro the thick question but how can we make offers for players outside of the transfer window, especially at a time when our PL status is not exactly 'nailed on' You can agree a transfer outside the window. In fact a player can move outside the window. it's just the window is the only period where players can be registered, and therefore play for their new team.
Saints foreva Posted 22 March, 2013 Posted 22 March, 2013 Again with Liverpool and Spurs also interested. Can we beat them again?! We didn't beat Liverpool or Spurs to the signing of Ramirez. Liverpool's interest stopped when clueless Kenny left and Spurs refused his wage demands.
david in sweden Posted 22 March, 2013 Posted 22 March, 2013 Poor goalscoring record however he is often shoved out on to the wing when he plays for Atletico. .....like Jay Rod was last year - you mean ?
david in sweden Posted 22 March, 2013 Posted 22 March, 2013 Also gossip though is that Norwich have agreed an 8.5m fee for Ricky Van Wolfswinkel. Now he is worth that kinda money. IF he signs for them .. whats the betting he get called ....van Wolfwhistle ...when he has a bad game ?
saint_ed Posted 22 March, 2013 Posted 22 March, 2013 Don't know anything about him but for that fee I would much rather we sign Van Wolfswinkel who is a top player.
Saint_clark Posted 22 March, 2013 Posted 22 March, 2013 Don't know anything about him but for that fee I would much rather we sign Van Wolfswinkel who is a top player. I would much rather let the club decide, considering we all know hardly anything about him.
sussexsaint Posted 22 March, 2013 Posted 22 March, 2013 IF he signs for them .. whats the betting he get called ....van Wolfwhistle ...when he has a bad game ? transit dogpenis
SNSUN Posted 22 March, 2013 Posted 22 March, 2013 Poor goalscoring record or not - consider him an upgrade to De Ridder, and it makes the transfer seem that much better.
Turkish Posted 22 March, 2013 Posted 22 March, 2013 Can someone hurry up and pot his football manager stats and you tube montage Please. We're at post 24 FFS.

Saint Garrett Posted 22 March, 2013 Posted 22 March, 2013 20 Finishing, 20 Dribbling, 20 Pace. sign him up then !
Window Cleaner Posted 22 March, 2013 Posted 22 March, 2013 consider him an upgrade to De Ridder, Anyone with a pair of boots would fit that description
forever a red and white Posted 22 March, 2013 Posted 22 March, 2013 He has got a very good reputation in Spain
david in sweden Posted 22 March, 2013 Posted 22 March, 2013 Anyone with a pair of boots would fit that description ...but would only be one-footed, that's if you are making comparisons.

Crazy Diamond Posted 22 March, 2013 Posted 22 March, 2013 Can someone hurry up and pot his football manager stats and you tube montage Please. We're at post 24 FFS. Eagle-eyed as ever, Mr. Turkish. These are the people we need in our scouting departments - the likes of Mental Le Ill and the YouTubers. Why waste money on actually watching players in the flesh when we can have our boys from this forum doing it? They're fans of the club, and everyone that works for us should be. Are we any closer to signing Lukas and Brian?

niceandfriendly Posted 22 March, 2013 Posted 22 March, 2013 Lopez looks class, always good on fifa too, got to be a good sign
Turkish Posted 22 March, 2013 Posted 22 March, 2013 He has got a very good reputation in Spain So did Franco for a while.
OLDER BUT WISER Posted 22 March, 2013 Posted 22 March, 2013 He seems to play well in red and white stripes so maybe next year.............
Tokyo-Saint Posted 22 March, 2013 Posted 22 March, 2013 That's right MLG, they may scoff but I know for a fact Jose Mourinho spent the first 6 months at Chelsea trying in vain to sign Tonton Zola Moukoko.
Saint Charlie Posted 22 March, 2013 Posted 22 March, 2013 Good player. Definitely a Les Reed signing because MP said he is only interested in players who we already have, whilst NC only buys players with links to Italy.
Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 22 March, 2013 Posted 22 March, 2013 So did Franco for a while. That's good for you Turks...

He frigging ruled. Also Kennedy Bakircioglou, Cherno Samba, Mike Duff, Radoslaw Kaluzny and Assane N'Diaye (a few of my favourites there).
latter day saint Posted 22 March, 2013 Posted 22 March, 2013 the lad looks mustard on the vid, sign him up asap! (waits for bite)
B Rabbit Posted 22 March, 2013 Posted 22 March, 2013 Remember Terry Henry used to play on the wing for Juventus and not score very much either before moving to England.... Just saying
Window Cleaner Posted 22 March, 2013 Posted 22 March, 2013 the lad looks mustard on the vid, sign him up asap! (waits for bite) but where are the CM 2014 stats
jawillwill Posted 22 March, 2013 Posted 22 March, 2013 IF he signs for them .. whats the betting he get called ....van Wolfwhistle ...when he has a bad game ? Or when he takes his shirt off after a game. Phwoaaar.
Chez Posted 22 March, 2013 Posted 22 March, 2013 anyone other than van wolfwhistle worth stealing from cash strapped Sporting Lisbon? What is Eric Dier like?
sandwichsaint Posted 22 March, 2013 Posted 22 March, 2013 anyone other than van wolfwhistle worth stealing from cash strapped Sporting Lisbon? What is Eric Dier like? Eric Dier? Slightly better than Fred Rank.
melmacian_saint Posted 24 March, 2013 Posted 24 March, 2013 Eric Dier? Slightly better than Fred Rank. Eric Dier will be a very good player, but too young to risk any money. He needs at least a full season in the first-team. He also needs to settle in a position first as he's been used at CB, LB and CM. From this Sporting team I would take the keeper, Portugal's no.1 Rui Patricio. Been more than just a lifeboat for the last 2.5 seasons. In fact both him and the sub keeper Marcelo would do well for us. But Boruc is looking better than ever so I'm not sure we need either of them. Other than that, the team has already been badly raided in January so quite frankly not a lot more to take out. Maybe the usual LB Marcos Rojo, who has been in ascending form this season, and is now getting Argentina call-ups. Wingers Capel and Labyad are too unproven I'm afraid, and young Andre Carrillo is pretty much in the same situation as Dier, but mentally less stable.
