Yeah mate...as long as BR was confident he could work with him and get 100% from him the lad has talent I just don't think he's developed at all the last couple of years. Can't blame anyone for wanting to try and force there way into the team they are at but surely there comes a point where he wants first team football.
What I like about him most is his work on the ball and when he is not being selfish he can find a good pass in the box. I think I share the same qualms as you...his work rate off the ball to regain possession, tracking back and can be a bit selfish. Which is to my understanding why he has been criticized by Mancini, how different is Ramirez though? Still think he has more to his game than Walcott though. #prosandcons
Yeah my issues around Walcott are that he's all about pace and at 23 you may only get a couple of years before he's sod all use anymore. Ramirez looks decent from what I've seen but my knowledge of him is limited. What I have noticed with him though is that he seems to have a good understanding with Swazz
One of the first players I would sell. Don't care how good they are on FIFA, if it is a player I don't like then they are out
Rory Smith is doing a webchat now: - Was asked about Ramirez and the £18m deal that was to be concluded today? - 'Don't think it's true. He also adds that Bologna are getting depserate now.' - Thoughts on Agger leaving? - 'There is still a good chance of him leaving. Possibly for £24m Plus Johnson. MCFC want to pay £20m or £17m plus A Johnson, and the two clubs will meet in the middle.'
Rory Smith continued: - Are LFC in for Sahin? - 'LFC are in for Dempsey with Adam going the otherway. Sahin is definately wanted by LFC. LFC also want another wide player - Johnson or Walcott' - Re. Carroll - He believes Carroll will be a deadline day signing.
I really hope not, need to include one of their defenders in the deal. i.e. Kolo Toure. BUT saying that, he probably earns £150k a week and he isn't worth half that.
I feel sorry for Adam Johnson if he is part of that deal. If we signed him outright then most fans would be happy, but being part of a deal that see's us lose Agger would make him the new Nunez
If we signed Gaston you'd sell him? He grows from 76 to 87! His STARTING agility is 92! I always used to sell Rafa's squad buys for a combined £40M or so
One season of playing for us (actually getting games) and he will be worth £10-15m even if he is pretty crap. I just don't want Agger going the other way - it makes **** all sense as he doesn't want to leave.
