lloydie Posted 20 July, 2014 Share Posted 20 July, 2014 Think Rodriguez was the last English player we signed. We just don't seem to get anywhere where British players are concerned. All the English players want is to leave and go elsewhere. At least Cortese, being in banking, knew how to pay players in overseas account. That no longer exists. Is that last part relevant to signing English players? I get very confused reading your posts and i'm sure it's not down to a shortcoming on my behalf.

Ed Rooney Posted 20 July, 2014 Share Posted 20 July, 2014 Fair enough. Big follower of Twente I guess. Anyone else that could do a job from what you have seen of them? Yes personally i would have loved to seen us go for luc castaignos, looks the business and definately has a bright future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Charlie Posted 20 July, 2014 Share Posted 20 July, 2014 Yes personally i would have loved to seen us go for luc castaignos, looks the business and definately has a bright future Nearly went to Swansea I think? To be fair I havent read a single report on Tadic where there has been a doubt about his ability to be a good signing. Looks like a good one.

Verbal Posted 20 July, 2014 Share Posted 20 July, 2014 Sweet Jesus, talk about working oneself up into a lather. This board has become more hysterical everyday this week and absolutely nothing has changed. Yes it's concerning, but seriously, does it really warrant some of the hair rending that is on here. Yep. I have a look daily to see if there are any good rumours going around and I'm met with what appears to be a bunch of pre-teens squealing at the loss of their favourite boy band member.

benjii Posted 20 July, 2014 Share Posted 20 July, 2014 I wouldn't be surprised if Pelle and Tadic turn out to be upgrades. Lambert needed replacing in any case. The defence is currently a bit of a worry so I hope we keep Lovren and add another CB and an LB. It will be a shame if Morgan leaves but it's not really a big deal - we are strong in CM even without him. If Lovren leaves and we haven't signed a couple of really good defenders by the time the season starts then there will be some justified moaning.

SuperSAINT Posted 20 July, 2014 Share Posted 20 July, 2014 Inter Milan continue to work on new signings and reports in Italy claim there has been contact with Bundesliga side Hoffenheim regarding a deal for Roberto Firmino. The 22-year-old Brazilian attacking midfielder has previously been linked with the likes of Liverpool, and Hoffenheim reportedly want €7million (£5.5m) for him. Would be well worth a punt for 5.5m!

Pastor Patrón Posted 20 July, 2014 Share Posted 20 July, 2014 Absolute nonsense. You wanna buy yourself a copy of the DVD of the past season and see for yourself just how ridiculous that statement about Lambert is ! Nah you're alright cheers, I streamed every game online last season and was quite consistent in saying he was crap all season so I can't see a DVD changing my mind. Guarantee he doesn't get more then 5 goals this season if he doesn't take penalties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALWAYS_SFC Posted 20 July, 2014 Share Posted 20 July, 2014 I don't think Pelle looks anything special but he's still clearly an upgrade on Lambert. Lamberts finished, I thought he was complete garbage last season. Tadic is admittedly probably a fairly big step down from Lallana of last season, but Ramirez is a better player then Lallana when he gets a run in the side Priceless post...I know you try hard to post things of credibility but sadly for you, it always across as ramblings of a fool with a very limited, virtually non existent understanding of football...

CB Saint Posted 20 July, 2014 Share Posted 20 July, 2014 From wiki Racing Club Teó moved to his country without permission of Trabzonspor or his manager claiming to have some health problems. After check-ups, doctors did not find any health problems, and on 3 February 2011, Trabzonspor accepted a bid from Racing Club of Argentina. Teó was forced to leave Racing under a cloud following an incident in which he was alleged to have threatened his team-mates with a paintball gun in the changing-room after a match against Independiente.

Toon Saint Posted 20 July, 2014 Share Posted 20 July, 2014 Bit worrying that we continue to be linked to average journeymen. Hope it is all a smokescreen for the real activity. Though doesn't seem as if anything is actually close. Once Lovren leaves, I make that 5 more signings needed. 2 centre backs, a left back, a wing forward, and another striker. Tick, tock...

Hope it works out as much as his ability should dictate it does, but I suppose you never know mate how things will work moving to a different league.

Wade Garrett Posted 20 July, 2014 Share Posted 20 July, 2014 At least Morgan appears to be giving us a chance, looking at the signings we make. Personally, I can't see us keeping him if we've already sold Lambert, Lallana, Shaw and Lovren. No way should we be selling half our side in the same window.
