Turkish Posted 1 June, 2013 Share Posted 1 June, 2013 (edited) Having faith in our chairman and believing we'll sign one of the most talented young players in the world are 2 very different kettles of fish.. If there is one thing we have learnt in this incredible journey it's that of Cortese says something will happen it will. I fully expert our leader to recruit the right players at the right price at the right time, as he has done thought his chairmanship. I then expect the new troops to be fully behind the chairman and supportive of the project as the incumbents are. With Cortese at the wheel and Les Reed navigating we can rest assured our journey through the choppy waters of the premier league will continue with Minimal disruption to our destination and we certainly will be avoiding any potential icebergs which may get in the way of our progress.

Saint Charlie Posted 1 June, 2013 Share Posted 1 June, 2013 Are people genuinely believing Pilchards and his 22 year old Spanish player story? .Tragic. No, he has a history of this kind of wummery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't say they're liabilities - one of them is likely to improve with a run in the team (Gazzaniga). Kelvin is an adequate 3rd choice imo.

tajjuk Posted 1 June, 2013 Share Posted 1 June, 2013 Two spanish 22 year olds....take your pick http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/en/spain-u21/startseite/nationalmannschaft_9567.html Thiago Alcantara is 22 I think one of them could be Canales.....but any guess is as good as mine The portuguese one is difficult, is it a portuguese player or someone that plays in Portugal at the moment.... The one that is portuguese that springs to mind might be Pizzi, he´s been very good for Deportivo la Coruna this year but is owned by Braga in Portugal.... Oh these mind games in the summer... Rodrigo please, very quick, trickly, left footed and more of a winger than a striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Mockles Posted 1 June, 2013 Share Posted 1 June, 2013 I think we need a token signing by let's say Monday next, boost morale a bit. Weren't we interested in Aurelien Chedjou...signed for Galatasary, where do those Turks get all of their money. Where do Turks get their money? The same people that purported hearts & minds when Iraq was invaded & denied it being about oil & gas. Funnily, none of these articles were expanded upon by the news agencies... probably because those involved have controlling interests in all the media & news groups. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/energy/oilandgas/8746223/Tony-Hayward-in-line-for-14m-windfall-with-Vallares-Genel-merger.html Back to football....
