Turkish Posted 22 July, 2014 Posted 22 July, 2014 Arsenal sign Ospina on a 4 year deal they are a top DM away from having a cracking transfer window Still think they're a centre back and DM away from being genuine contenders.
S-Clarke Posted 22 July, 2014 Posted 22 July, 2014 Quite a few teams that were in and around us are developing far stronger squads than we have, substantially so. Newcastle, Stoke and Hull as examples. All set to improve to being likely to finish ahead of us I would expect. Way too early to say either way. Norwich were tipped to finish above us last year as they had an amazing window, or something. Players don't always work out for whatever reason, on paper they are good additions - as are ours, but not all will be a success. Need to see who we bring in before going on a negative rampage about how they'll finish above us in 10 months time.
S-Clarke Posted 22 July, 2014 Posted 22 July, 2014 Still think they're a centre back and DM away from being genuine contenders. And a top striker. Giroud is alright, but nothing special. And their only other real backup to him is Sanogo, who is ****.

I certainly didnt tip Norwich to be above us, they did deals early in June, its way beyond early now. Of course we don't know which players will work out, as normal, but we can see the sides who are doing their best to go out there and actually secure their targets.

Newcastle, Stoke and Hull as examples. All set to improve to being likely to finish ahead of us I would expect. Really Hull have Europa league so their squad will be stretched next season and Stoke have just signed a guy who managed 4 goals in 24 apperances playing for the champions in the Eredivisie last season compare that to the new striker we just signed. Newcastle look like they are doing well this transfer window though.

Red Alert Posted 24 July, 2014 Posted 24 July, 2014 Not a transfer but found myself laughing at the news Andy Carroll is out for four months already with an ankle injury. Why oh why is he being paid so much each week?

Turkish Posted 24 July, 2014 Posted 24 July, 2014 Dean Ashton mk2 That's not fair, Ashton was a decent player.
Saint Garrett Posted 24 July, 2014 Posted 24 July, 2014 Dean Ashton mk2 Ashton was a better player by a long way.
Saint_Abroad Posted 24 July, 2014 Posted 24 July, 2014 Not a transfer but found myself laughing at the news Andy Carroll is out for four months already with an ankle injury. Why oh why is he being paid so much each week? And he's going to Baltimore to get it worked on, yuck.
KelvinsRightGlove Posted 24 July, 2014 Posted 24 July, 2014 That's not fair, Ashton was a decent player. May be wrong, if so I apologise. But I thought you berated the mongboard for criticising Carroll. For such a lump (I don't mean that as a dig, but I feel it's fair to say his game is more physicality than finesse) his injury record is pathetic. There may well be a decent player (not top level IMO) in there somewhere, but he just doesn't seen too bothered. Shame really. Do agree though, Ashton was a superior player. Shame his career was cut short by injury. Personally, don't see the fuss around Carroll. Though fair to say both Dalglish & Sam Allardyce have forgotten more than I'll ever know about football.

SuperSAINT Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 Crap signing IMO. Have a soft spot for him (But mainly based on FM 2011)

saint_ed Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 He'll be gone next season. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/23286316 Maybe so, at least they've managed to keep him this season after a pretty decent world cup showing.
Viking Warrior Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 The skates have appointed Scott be an as their GK coaching That has to be the signing of the year . Appointing an ex saint

Batman Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 BBC reporting that Ross Barkley has signed a new 4-year deal at Goodison. why, he could have his picks of any club in this country
angelman Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 He's a Scouser - maybe he plays for the club he supports and is happy with that. I know I would be.
angelman Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 Liverpool splash £10m out on Divock Origi (JRod replacement?) 19yo Begium striker playing at Lille. Scored 6 goals ion 40 appearances. Broke into senior national side this year and scored 1 goal in 8 appearances.

Whitey Grandad Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 Kiss of death for them then - He'll be gone next summer. Yeah, means nothing except that his price will be higher when he goes.
Beckenham Saint Posted 29 July, 2014 Author Posted 29 July, 2014 They've loaned him back to Lille I think? Yeah, season long loan.
S-Clarke Posted 30 July, 2014 Posted 30 July, 2014 Everton have got their man - Lukaku is set to join on a perm. basis. £25m deal.
SNSUN Posted 30 July, 2014 Posted 30 July, 2014 Everton have got their man - Lukaku is set to join on a perm. basis. £25m deal. Wow, overpaying for him IMO
Window Cleaner Posted 30 July, 2014 Posted 30 July, 2014 Everton have got their man - Lukaku is set to join on a perm. basis. £25m deal. Knocked them down a bit then, 30 was being bandied about this morning.
SuperSAINT Posted 30 July, 2014 Posted 30 July, 2014 Everton have got their man - Lukaku is set to join on a perm. basis. £25m deal. What a signing for them - Fair play. (I had a hunch he'd choose them).
Trout-Tickler Posted 30 July, 2014 Posted 30 July, 2014 Everton have got their man - Lukaku is set to join on a perm. basis. £25m deal. Lot of money for them but fair play. Wonder if having first refusal on Barkley sometime in the future is part of the deal?
S-Clarke Posted 30 July, 2014 Posted 30 July, 2014 Lot of money for them but fair play. Wonder if having first refusal on Barkley sometime in the future is part of the deal? Can't see Chelsea ever needing him. They've got some top class young midfield talent anyway. Van Ginkel for one....paid £8m last year for him.
Window Cleaner Posted 30 July, 2014 Posted 30 July, 2014 Lot of money for them but fair play. Wonder if having first refusal on Barkley sometime in the future is part of the deal? Why is it a lot of money for them, they made 85 million from the PL alone last year, what's all that money for unless it's bettering your side. They paid him last season, not much change there then. Other than that I don't remember them signing anyone except Besic for a few million, to replace Barry perhaps. Still have a top side, and will do well. Wish we had that sort of stability, then again thet kept their manager.

Window Cleaner Posted 30 July, 2014 Posted 30 July, 2014 They've signed Barry as well, for a free. Even better for them then, still they're not run by idiots I suppose. We still don't know what happened to our 79 million from Sky though. Salary mass 52 milion, transfers paid from sales, where's the rest ?
S-Clarke Posted 30 July, 2014 Posted 30 July, 2014 Even better for them then, still they're not run by idiots I suppose. We still don't know what happened to our 79 million from Sky though.

Window Cleaner Posted 30 July, 2014 Posted 30 July, 2014 Good question. Good job all those new training facilities were free for starters. But wouldn't we get financement on that ? It's not something you pay on the nail from one season's income surely.
Batman Posted 30 July, 2014 Posted 30 July, 2014 But wouldn't we get financement on that ? It's not something you pay on the nail from one season's income surely. It has been going on for ages, I very much doubt the builders did all that work without getting significant monies at various stages
