I know, I know football isn't real life. But it is really frustrating watching people act in that manner and carry on getting exactly what they want.

Boca is his 12 th club in 10 years, no-one can handle him, at Espanyol he was obviously in a good phase of his life but he only stayed about a season and a half there anyway.

Well not signing South Americans might be a start, RK doesn't seem to rate them anyway so we might be OK for a while. WGS hated them, had no time for S.Ams whatsoever, pity we'd just paid 3 million odd £ for a duff one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Americans who succeed in top class English football are few and far between, for every Aguero and Suarez there are 3 or 4 no hopers lured by the exceptional salaries on offer.

Yeah, he's good but no where near worth the risk & ultimately the disruption that comes with it.

I have faith Windows, not so long ago you were warning us the perils of African players, and now we have Mané who is probably one of our better players at the moment. I wouldn't be without him, he's like a good Papa Waigo. Joking aside, I do get where you are coming from let's just hope we are actually stringent with these checks.

St Marco Posted 12 February, 2015 Share Posted 12 February, 2015 Probably in less games as well. Just had a look. Ossie the headbutter has 3 goals from 13 game and Longnaldo has 2 goals from 21 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Window Cleaner Posted 12 February, 2015 Share Posted 12 February, 2015 (edited) Just had a look. Ossie the headbutter has 3 goals from 13 game and Longnaldo has 2 goals from 21 games. Still both a total waste of good money though. Imagine where we might be if we'd invested the 12 million or so that we paid for Long in obtaining the services of a prolific striker. 26 million £ for 5 goals isn't much of a return.

I could name a few players that ran around the pitch a lot but contributed very little, doesn't mean they're good players. Don't get me wrong, Osvaldo has a screw lose, and possibly shouldn't conmunicate with the team incase of upsetting the ship, but full what I've seen he's a talented lad and westham would hand been a perfect scenario Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope we don't sign him, he sounds far from a consumate professional and we don't need a pre-Madonna on the books, certainly not one who will throw a wobbly when lambert gets a game before him, or who is likely to punch lallanaby in the face for not passing the ball... Sounds like a great team player that will fit in with our well bonded and hard working team... nice quality guy. Also, he doesn't want to be here, and he is 27.... please tell me we are not spending nearly £20m on this guy... I can't believe it and I hope it isn't true! Saint86, how wise you were...
