Topic: Will Kenny or Comoli be scouting any players at the international matches

[MKelly34]

Tommo - any news on Dzsudzsak?

Don't think we are interested in him, no one seems to think he's a decent player or good enough to play for us

We are, Tommo said it one day, and he's been linked with us too... why do you think I talk so much about him? I wouldn't, if he wasn't a target.

Also, he's better than any wingers we could possibly buy, only behind Sanchez/Hazard, in my opinion.

[El_Pistolero]

Was writing on here that Sturridge was a seriously good player and we should get him in the Torres deal but got shot down at the time...he is a real talent. Could see him in the LF position for Chelsea next year with Torres in the middle and another on the right.

Would also have loved to see him in a Red shirt, rated him since his City days.

The only downside to a possible Wickham move is the blocking of N'goo and/or Morgan, didn't Kenny/Comolli say we wouldn't be making signing if they potentially blocked  a move for the Academy graduates?

But saying that, I'd have Wickham as a 3rd choice striker. I think he's got everything to become a top player, rather we get him then someone else.

[nocturnalvin]

I know we dont have enough to be spending Ģ15m+ on another 'world class' striker as well as addressing the other positions that more desperately need it.

Do you honestly think its that much of a priority to set aside that kind of money?

Your selfless consideration for the club owners' moolah is right.
Judge after the whole summer operation. Not now.

Whoosh!!!! Your man love for this player well known  Too easy

Was not playing much at the time and as you say the Chelsea will play him when they get him back so not much chance of us getting him now. Like I said shame if we were offered him in the deal

[Didi_ram]

spot on

Do you have any info about other players we are looking to buy?

You don't know that at all really do you. You don't have the slightest inkling how much money our owners will spend in the summer, or what Comolli & Kenny's budget will be. So to say you know anything more than the square root of fuck all in that regard is fanciful.

I do, nowhere near as much as Tommo though ..

You dont need to know the budget to know that we wont be shelling out that kind of money on another Striker, its just common sense.

[neel2108]

Dani Pacheco too.. Our options could look like this up front:

Suarez Pacheco       Carroll Wickham       Hazard Kuyt

Would prefer Sanchez, but wouldn't turn my nose up at Hazard.

[hassinator]

The same kuyt who's scored just as many goals as Ģ50m Torres?

But from our point of view why would we spend another wedge of money on a striker when we bought 2 in January for Ģ55m? Makes little to no sense.

We need to make sure the strikers we have bought now have some service.

exactly.  we have a leaky left side and need a ball playing central midfielder as well.  i would be happy if wickham came in as he would offer real cover for carroll - they certainly seem to have a similar physique - which would mean minimal disruption to formation.  we have a multitude of flair players coming through who can play in the hole though i think it would be hard to conjure a 'plan b' version of suarez from the current squad.  still if we buy another versatile attacker who can also play on the flanks... 

[rastaferio]

are you really that daft to believe they'll buy Wickham at the expense of the other areas that desperately need strengthening? FSG will do what needs to be done. They have undoubtedly made a plan and will execute it to the best of their ability (as the market dictates). It wont be a 100m summer, but they also wont let the team slip. Winning is their main goal, and investment will be there when it's needed.

[hassinator]

I agree I thought we should have asked for him in the Torres Deal.

instead of buying carroll or suarez?

[Discipline]

Discipline is talking rubbish ain't he.

How so? I don't understand why we'd spend 10m for a player that won't feature for a couple of seasons when we need to desperately need to fix other positions. Maybe I'm still used to the G+H era where we had to sell to buy, or maybe I feel like we're not Manc City and have a gazilion to spend every transfer window. I'd rather sign the players we need first, before talking about buying a hot prospect for 10m when he's only managed to score 7 goals in 34 games in a league that's below standard to the BPL.

Scott/TOMMO, any news on Defour? Would be a great buy imo.

Thats not what im saying at all, you should try following the conversation from the start instead of jumping in half way through.

Im all for signing Wickham. I was adressing another poster who wants to sign another world class forward and who wasnt happy with Wickham. World class strikers cost a lot more than we'd pay for Wickham, and another world class striker isnt a priority. Thats what I was getting at, ok?

[Fordy]

Wickham is wanted by 11 prem teams.

Man United
Arsenal
Spurs
Liverpool
Newcastle
Stoke
West Ham
Blackburn
Villa
Sunderland
Bolton

I would love Wickham here. Be great to beat some of our rivals to a young player for once.

Utd are not interested in Wickham - They have Welbeck who they rate highly

Spurs have already stated they will not be signing him for 10m and that he should stay at Town.

if n'gog goes - which seems likely - there will be a squad space to be filled.  we don't know how much wickham will go for - i think the Ģ10m mooted is more realistic than the buyout - but we do know that he is a top british prospect who will probably also be comfortable coming off the bench at least for a while. 

this isn't blocking the progress of 16 year old morgan or even n'goo who is just back from a long run of injuries.

is it true that ince has fucked off to italy by the way?

[careful on these streets, I've heard stories]

I for one would be very disappointed if thats our striking options come next season.

Kuyt isnt, and never will be, a proper striker. Wickham is still just a prospect (although would love to sign him).

We really need to sign one more top class forward imo.

That's a good forward line, as long as we get some decent wingers in too

[Gainsbarre]

At the right price everybody should be interested in a 17 year old striker starting for a Championship side...

Are you serious? 

[careful on these streets, I've heard stories]

Yeah over the last few weeks - look at his whole stats though, he really isnt an out and out goal scorer.

I rate him, and would have him in the side, just not as a 3rd striker.

I disagree, think Kuyt will score a good number of goals with proper service. He struggled as a striker when we had no width or creativity.

[Jellies]

Hey transfer geeks. Please don't post between 3.06 and 3.08. Just in case you didn't see it on the forum.

[careful on these streets, I've heard stories]

That isn't the "official list"
Just what i think we'll plan, Pacheco is very well thought of at the club so he'll stay.

Hey Scott what's your take on the Enrique situation?

[Hahariz]

At the right price everybody should be interested in a 17 year old striker starting for a Championship side...

naah. not us. we're expecting welbeck back and hernandez ain't that old now is he?

[Gmol]

instead of buying carroll or suarez?

No as 3rd choice. thought he got lost at chelsea. Always thought he was promising at City.Chelsea will keep now he scored a few goals. Hindsight is a wonderful thing

[careful on these streets, I've heard stories]

Well the sticking point with players with lots of transfer options is usually which club they want to join.. We must be the favourites, considering he's a Red.

I'd love him here, would give us great options. Maybe we can have some good runs in the FA and League Cups, that hasn't happened in what seems like ages.

Ipswich want top dollar for him so that will probably rule out some of the smaller teams.

[MKelly34]

i dont get it.. do you actually watch psv games? because the way you hype him in here you make it sound like he is a world beater. he isnt.

hell.. read psv forums and even their own fans dont consider him any better than 'above average-to-decent'.

I don't hype him dude, and I know he's no world class player, but he's a great one and I'm sure PSV fans find that too.

All this talk of strikers.. I think we should try and get Bryan Ruiz, he could fill in up front and down the wings.. Creative, tricky, good at playing people in and also decent finisher.. Canīt be long before someone gets him

Oh and Dzsudzsak scored last night, thatīs 23 now for him.. Pretty good for a winger..

I don't rate him, I seen him play a few times and he hasn't impressed me

[theparrot]

Ipswich is expecting movement for Wickham. New Contract just has an added bonus in it for them.

Would make sense. Signing two contracts within 3 months is not normal behaviour. There must have been more to it than just another extension.

[Caffeine]

Ergh I thought you were talking about Wickham, this thread is confusing, apologies.

Apologies, missed that post.

[Cpt_Reina]

Wait, won't be or shouldn't be? I thought you were complaining that we actually might shell out that kind of money...

Thing is, even if we do sign Wickham, it's not going to be all upfront is it. It'll be in installments based on appearances, goals, possibly international caps. So complaining that this Ģ15m impacts our summer budget is ludicrous.

Let me refer you to this post.

People. We just learned that a motion is to be put in parliament to Knight Kenny Dalglish. Can you please stop discussing transfers for just a few hours?

Hazard's got 6 goals and 7 assists this season. Dzsudzsak gets clearly underrated around here, surely because I 'hype' him?

People should be allowed to discuss what they like really.

I doubt I'm the only who can't figure out how you can discuss transfers while watching the memorial service.
