Colinjb Posted 29 June, 2013 Share Posted 29 June, 2013 I wouldn't put Robbie Keane in that bracket. Really, considering our stature, Gaston Ramirez fulfilled that aim last summer. The pressing type of tactic we play doesn't really leave much room for a 'sexy' or potentially luxury signing. We need raw ability coupled with fitness and graft to progress.

stu0x Posted 29 June, 2013 Share Posted 29 June, 2013 I would be gutted if we signed any of the three players you named, and can only assume you haven't watched any of them play recently. If the point you are making is that you'd like to see a 'marquee' signing, the players we are apparently legitimately interested in are arguably far more noteworthy than the likes of Charlie 'The Human Ballsack' Adam.

Wes Tender Posted 30 June, 2013 Share Posted 30 June, 2013 I 'd hazard a guess that there was a word missing from the title. I'm pretty sure that he meant to ask "How do you feel about one, just one Lawrie Mac "sexy" style signing? Although with a bit of research the players we are currently rumoured to be looking at seem to be very good, if we're honest most on here haven't previously heard of the majority of them. None of them are remotely in the category of Keegan when Lawrie signed him. So there is some validity in the question once the meaning of it is clear.

TijuanaTim Posted 30 June, 2013 Author Share Posted 30 June, 2013 Yeah sorry, poorly written and I deserve the flack. I did leave 'feel' out of the title. Not pro or anti signing a character/flair player I just wanted to know the board's feelings. We used to integrate a Frank Worthington style 'sexy' singing into our young (Agboola, Wright, Dennis, Williams, Moran, Wallace) type teams and it had some interesting results. I specifically mentioned the three payers because we all know them from the Prem and understand their track records and what they bring (not suggesting signing them specifically), whereas if I had used someone like Juan Roman Riquelme or Roberto Saldado we could only guess. Ball had a massive impact, Keegan was a sensation and probably (quietly) our best big name signing was Shilton. I do not know whether it would work in the current climate, so I was respectfully asking your thoughts. Again apologise for the poorly written post.

Red Alert Posted 30 June, 2013 Share Posted 30 June, 2013 Tim, i think this is something the club is trying to do anyway. Even being suggested we could sign Damio, even if we have bid shows a real sign of intent. I would never have thought we would sign Gaston when we did. We will get someone in this year that will be a 'wow' type signing. That being said i don't think we will be signing a Ballon d'or player any time soon.

Imho Charlie Adam wouldn't get in first 11 and I would be less excited to hear those two forwards were starting than I would be hearing Ramirez was. Prices for British players are so inflated and players so over rated I struggle to think of an exciting British player (or established in prem) we could be after.

Lord Duckhunter Posted 30 June, 2013 Share Posted 30 June, 2013 Why give the guy a load of abuse, if you don't like his thread don't comment on it. Much as I loved lawrie, those type of signings belong in a bygone era. The only ones worth signing are a giggs , scholes, or carragher and they can choose their moment to leave the game safe in the knowledge they don't need one more pay day. The managers who have tried it lately are redknapp and pulis, but people like Owen & Ryan nelson are just a waste of money. Look at fat frank or John terry , 30 years ago Chelsea would have binned them, now they can manage them through squad rotation and when the time comes to go , they'll go to the middle east, USA or retire. I would love a jimmy case, kk or a Peter Osgood, but the games changed . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
