Summer Transfer Rumour Thread.

Hooper can wait now!!! we got Jay rod!!! (hopefully)

 

Barton on 70 grand a week! Not much my arse!

 

If you want something you have to be willing to pay. If Nigel feels JRod is one of our missing pieces, then I have no problem with what we pay. I may have to start using capitals soon: we are not going to buy PL-experienced players on their way down. When Nicola came he said, 'I don't call struggling in the PL for 27 years an achievement.' Raised eyebrows at the time, but I think we're buying into his dream now.

 

I once posted eight threads in a day and no one complained.

 

Scared!

 

Surprised you didn't hear the orgasms

I can't speak for my fellow fans, but I for one don't envy you. You are taking a risk buying a player that has no real experience of the Premier League, just like we did last season. £7m seems like a lot of money for him, if I'm honest.

 

Strikers of:

Lambert
Rodriguez
Lee
Sharp
Barnard (who I can see going)



A pretty mean strikeforce and can leave us worry-free for a while I'd say.

 

Rodriguez, Lambert, Sharp, Chung, Barnard....Even Adkins will struggle to keep everyone happy.

I think we´ll sell Barnard or loan him out, but that still leaves us with 4 quality strikers. The competition for places is going to be great for us but I think all of them will expect to play a lot of football.

 

Guly can play up top too! But I imagine he'll just be cover for the wings and striker positions should we hit a deep injury crisis.

 

Sounds a lot until a couple get injured...we got caught out a bit last season when Lambert got suspended. Also there will be substitute appearances. Adkins seems to be good at keeping all the players on board. Better JRod than signing a player like Owen or Yakubu and then telling them that they are not playing.

 

I think this is only a good deal if we have enough left in the war chest to get a decent right winger/right wing back. But welcome Jay Rod.

 

Well a lot of people from other clubs slating Jay Rod, well I hope he comes back to bite them if he signs up. Not to mention I reckon 90% of the people abusing have never seen him play. Yes, the fee is high but he is a high class player with bundles of talent. No one can compare him to the prices of Van De Vaart and Hernandez because they're on massive wages. I do believe now a lot of teams are feeling a threat from Saints now. Bring it On!!

 

i doubt we would spent this amount on one player unless we had sufficient funds for other players.

 

7 Million....Cortese found that down the back of the sofa

 

Like it!!!!

 

How long is Chung out for? , could be we get another another striker in on loan.

 

Well the premier league offers the reserve league so players can still test them selfsame against good competition. So I think everyone will still be quite happy.. If your not good enough for a team just promoted to the prem, then you aren't good enough full stop.

 

Also, i have noticed a lot of fans wanting proven prem players, but realistically there really isn't many about. Yakubu could be good but how much will he be on a week? Again he's the sort of player with an ego and can cause a stir amongst the team. Remember Jay Rod has played with Cork and Fox before and I looked at a few of Rodriguez goals on youtube and a number of his goals came from a Fox cross.
