Carry on that record and he'll be worth £100m in no time! We should get him, we'd def win every game 6-5 with him scoring 3 in each of them!
Van Gaal tapping up Robben? Said on Dutch TV after the game. "Van Gaal told me there will always be a place for me at Manchester United" #naughty
I rest my case - He's completely unproven in any of the top 3 leagues - so until he can step up and show what he can do consistetly in a top league, I'd personally avoid him (obviously I'd take him on the cheap!). He had a great WC but often players raise their game in the WC - Even some of the Chile lads from Nottingham Forest etc had a great WC. Doesn't mean they're going to go and become worldwide superstars. Let's face it until this WC James wasn't that well known, yeah he was known as he was sold for 40mil - but I hadn't heard much about him.
Hope he does - then we'll see what he's really made of. I would rather have seen him in the German league, as for me it's better than La Liga, with regards to similarities to the PL. I'm not doubting he's a great prospect - I just think too many people are judging him purely on this WC.
Doubt Chelsea would sell to us. He's a strange one as at times he just doesn't look interested but then some days he'll be full of running If be tempted just to piss off tobes to be fair
Chelsea may have learnt their lesson after letting Sturridge go to a premier league side. I think if Lukaka goes it will be on loan again or abroad.
Plenty of players from Porto have gone on to great things. They use dodgy agents and third party ownerships to buy the top South American talents then sell them on for a huge profit. They've been doing this for years now. Rodriguez is one of them. Sure, the majority of people who've now heard of him only have done through the WC, but a lot of football followers in general have known of him for over two years at least. I was hoping we'd be buying him before his move to Monaco. You not hearing about them doesn't mean they're not good and a good WC doesn't mean they're a one tournament performer. l It's all irrelevant now anyway, any further move will be for huge money which we can't compete with.
I was only talking about the possibility of us signing him yesterday, too. Any of you guys work for caughtoffside?
I still don't like all the names we're being linked with. Meanwhile United are tapping up Robben and considering a bid for Reus
Problem is we still can't afford big wages like United which is affecting the level if player. We need 3 or 4 seasons back in CL to increase revenue to be able to afford 3 or 4 players on £100k+ We can afford transfer fees due to the Suarez money but wages make it hard.
