Hey, don't brag - our first signing (Boyd was already here, doesn't count) was a left back from a lower league on a FAT...
Guedioura is maybe been lined up if we cant get palacios. Tbh id rather have guedioura just because hes consistantly playing well for his club. Dont know what to expect with palacios, no doubt there was\is a great player but havent seen it in while now.
True. But we already have a few players who can play in that role. McGugan would be have been better for us imo. It was where he has come from (Tranmere Rovers) that i found funny. What has happened to the money bags owners @ Lesta City this summertime window ? Not even shopping @ poundland at the moment. Lol. No doubt that Palacios is the big signing that SB wants and he would/will be. He went from Wigan to Spurs for £12m and then to Stoke for £6m. You dont get those moves if you are crap. Palacios is like an old engine. It just needs stripping down, cleaning and oiling and rebuidling with much love and care and attention. Palacios is the box to box midfielder we lack. Anyone who was at the KC for the PL game back in august 2008 when we lost 0-5 to wigan will know what i mean. He ran the game and made 3 of the goals.
The Turkish media have linked us to Oscar Cardozo. The sound of Bullshit Man's cape rustling in the breeze is growing ever louder.
The main issue that i have about us getting palacios is his fitness, how long will it take him to get match fit??
Has done. No quarantees he will at another club. That price is for the mega rich clubs who can take the risk imo
As Cardiff have already demonstrated, they are going for completely unrealistic signings. I think we are now ahead of them in terms of our squad and our manager.
I think they might end up doing what we did in our first season. They'll end up getting players like Wes Brown, Kenwyne Jones and Stephen Ireland. Mind you, their owners are mega loaded, so it wouldn't surprise me to see them splash some serious cash this season.
Very much so. Take Craig Bellamy away and i dont rate what they have at all at the moment. They may, but as DQPR found out last season that does not guarantee a thing. No wonder the Cardiff fans are getting worried. SB scout Stan Ternant was at the Pacos de ferreira v. Newcastle Utd 1-1 draw last night watching Vitor Silva 31.MF.
The same one that's about to sign for Middlesbrough? I think he'll have been watching somebody else, probably at Newcastle. My money is on Haris Vukic.
Middlesboro dont think he will. From what ive been told Ternant was just watching him for the moment.
