Summer 2014 Transfer rumour thread - Part VI

and future Liverpool players

 

Joe- I agree that his performances for Norwich were hit and miss but for England U21s he showed how good he was
I think that was more to do with proper coaching and tactics with the international team rather than the muppets he had to work with at Norwich

 

Or that he was playing against a bunch of kids rather than experienced Prem defenders?

 

We can look back on the good old days when we only had to worry about Arsenal, who at least only bought one at a time and didn't go in for job lots.

 

First sentence, spot on. After that, I can't agree, even on a free. Quite honestly, some of the names we are currently being linked with are worrying. I know most of them won't come to anything but surely we should be looking at a better quality of player than Redmond and Wickham.

The only thing Redmond has is a bit of pace. He would be a 'last 5 minute sub' at best. Although, maybe one season with us and sell him on for £20m!

 

redmond is a bit meh, wouldn't mind it too much if he was just an option from the bench

Add Wickham and that is 5 England under 21 players. Prowse would have been busy...

 

Why worry about players we are linked to?

 

Especially as most are only rumours. How many players are we apparently buying..20 or 25?

 

At least. If we were being linked to the players Villa are buying then I would be worried. At least we mare being linked to young players that may improve.

 

Excellent left winger on FIFA. Potential 86!!

 

I'm going to throw this out there; I don't think we will sign ONE Dutch player.

It's no different to when Poch took over and all the a bloods were saying we would be buying players from Malaga and Sociedad...

 

Well nor do I, but that's partly because most of Eredivisie's top talents aren't Dutch. We might get Van Dijk though. Hope so, anyway.

 

I kind of suspect we will sign a bit of Dutch. We have already shown we want to use Koeman as leverage, and he has a lot of that with the Nederlanders.

 

Beefy I've the feeling your ITK?

 

No idea where to put this, but Callum Chambers has signed a new contract with Nike today. Just for Fran.



That's Nikeeeeeee.

 

.

 

I think he is too slow. He had a good game the other night but that will inflate his price.

 

Which is exactly why Villa fans want to cash in. He's getting on in years, has niggling injury problems and a good world cup will have inflated his price up far past what it was before the tournament.
