Postiga - one of Europe's most promising strikers. Lol, we ****ed that up for him. Iversen - similar Although, he is one of very small number of players to score in 4 Euro champs now. I think thats the fact anyway, something like that. Edit - 3 different Euro finals. Edit edit - Klinsmann, Postiga, Ibra, Smicer, Nuno Gomes, Henry
I know the striker situation is top of everyone's agenda right now, but does anyone think there will more than 1 player coming in? (presuming that 1 player is the striker.)
1 player in my opinion for me too. A few outgoings though. As for the one player, I'm not in anyway suggesting I've heard anything but a "light-bulb" just flashed in my head in regards to thinking about the comment you put earlier Roo where you mentioned the Twit initially discarded the idea at first when hearing of a link - What about Hulk being THAT player? My reasoning?: AVB likes Hulk. Hulk likes AVB. Hulk dislikes new club Zenit. Zenit fans hate Hulk for not being white. Reports in the press today/ yesterday said Fener were exploring a possible loan move for Hulk... Levy time?
going back to this Lyon situation, apparently we've already been offered Gomis. So I'm guessing Levy will be taking full advantage of them if needs be, tomorrow night.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! I hope you are right. Decent cover on as an outside forward too. Gomis - any good?
Haha I'd love it if I was mate... Was just a little idea that popped up suddenly. He'd be a player where initially we'd love off, but seeing his situation at Zenit and his fondness of AVB and vice versa, COULD be a possibility. Decent target man Gomis, has been in great form this season. Done the business at St Etienne too before he joined Lyon so he's not just been scoring because he has great players around him if you know what I mean. If £8m is the price he's available for, good signing in my opinon.
You're one cruel bastard for even mentioning such a thing. but didn't they pay £40mill for him? they'd want a fortune, so buying him is out of the question. what about his wages? surely a loan is out o the question too?
Zenit are bank rolled by Gazprom mate, they could buy Messi and then release on a free the day afterwards if they wanted and not feel a hit. It depends what the Zenit hierachy wanna do though, do they keep a player who their fans clearly HATE or sell/ loan him for a decent offer? Then the decision would be with Hulk... Money and hatred of fans OR good standard of football, lesser wages but playing for a manager you like and for a crowd that I'm sure would idolise him?
in a perfect world mate, everything you say makes sense, but we all know what these footballers are like it's funny you should mention this. About 3 days ago i read a tweet from one of the twits that said something like "sensitive info due to chelsea having interest". I've been trying to work out who the hell this player could be that chelsea are keen on. my initial thought was willian, just like other people said at the time, and his name was shot down straight away, due to fee needing to come down. - which indicated it was someone else? It might sound far fetched, but you could be onto something with Hulk. it makes sense. it's just whether the deal is possible.
we should give him £100k a week with the rest paid for by Zenit. We will also give them £10. Yep, no million. That is how Levy rolls.
If Hudd goes to Fulham, I reckon another midfielder will come in. Diame perhaps. (Even though I reckon AVB still wants Moutinho.)
could hulk actually happen due to this "only a certain amount of clubs in 1 season" rule? isn't he stuck at Zenit.
funny you should say this. just read that an option on the cards is a swap deal involving Parker and Diame! an option apparently...
Can be gotten around for some reasons i believe. Intense racial abuse from fans could be one i guess. Levy will sort it. I can't believe we are entertaining this idea!
On my iPhone now so apologies if the writing and grammar is ****. Did Hulk actually play for Porto this season? If so then could be tricky to get around. Perhaps special dispensation for the fact he's being racially abused by his own fans who are also making it clear they don't want him...? No player should have to stay at a club with that sort of treatment, regardless of the 3 club rule. Haha we're actually talking like this is a possibility... We really are a hopeful bunch!
to be fair though, the reasons for it make sense. if not us, then someone else. i.e chelsea! I vowed not to get my hopes up in this window, but hulk moving tomorrow (if he can) would not surprise me. we've got the link, so you never know...
