Rodriguez, Altidore, Rodwell etc

I agree but how can we not afford to buy our own players?

Cause we need that ****ing many

Well we've offered £12 million for Borini and tried to buy Alonso ...... neither player has said 'yes' which is hardly the fault of the club.

Besides we don't know whether this is a loan or a buy so no need to kick off is there?

 

[Disco down under]

Probably, but if it's the only way to get him and he's the right man then I'll live with that frustration in return for premier league survival. Gutted about not getting Alonso and Borini, but without them we'd have gone down. I'm happy to let gus have a couple of seasons to build his team and make use of loan signings, but if we're still relying on them after that then I'm really gonna start kicking up a fuss. Unfortunately needs must at the moment

Truth be told I think not getting Borini is a blessing in disguise. Better ways to spend that much money, surely?

Alonso I'm a bit heartbroken about. Think he's an unbelievable talent. Still, hearing good things about PVA so won't complain.

Go along with all of this.

tbh before we were linked to PVA i was thinking we should see if hes available but i didnt realise he was still at chelsea might be abit easier to get him from them than from a dutch team cause he would be first choice there, hes quick too love quick full backs and i as i said on another thread, has a gigantic throw trait on fifa another option of set pieces tbh

 

[RLB's Beautiful Face]

****ing fantastic. So he comes, surprises everyone by being a class act and ****s off permanently leaving us back at square one.

Double edged sword though mate, what happens if we sign him for £6m, he's utter gash, and then we're stuck with a dud? The club would get pelters. Look at Jozy, a section of the fans are pissed off about that, and he didn't even play that badly in my opinion.

Loans should come with a confirmed fee & a purchase clause otherwise the supporters should be informed to the contrary.

I'm happy with loans as long as I know what the crack is.

I'd take Ki on another season long loan as he could be dropped, more easily, if his form dropped.

Pay £5 million for him and Poyet would be under pressure to play him in every game.

 

[Somebodys pinched my sombrero]

He'll not cost £6m and he's certainly not gash.

 

[Sam_Fring]

He's a winger. Why don't we need wide players as well? It's the one position you need quality and depth and a bit of speed in the ranks. We have two players in the squad capable of delivering quality in that area, if one is low on form or injured forget goals, the attacking balance needs to be sustained or it's relegation fight, we're far too light out wide imo.

Well I just thought with AJ, Giacch, Mavrias, Molberg K and Watmore in the squad that there are many areas more in need. CB and CM worry me and both fullback positions are short. If he's a top player though obviously I'd welcome him

With the Alonso deal we wouldn't go up 1m so that says to me money it tight.

Yeah but you just made that up though, it's not really the same thing as an actual fact to be fair ...........

I'm just going by paper talk so it could be bullshite like. didn't poyet say the deal with close tho?

You're one of the first to say the papers talk ****e, you can't use their rumours as facts when it suits you.

Close but not close enough were his words. I think we wanted to chuck Diakite at them and they weren't having it.

Thought They wanted Diakite? may as well forget about now like. we signed a LB for once.

I wonder if Poyet's intending to bring a little gem back from Portugal ........ not in a 'Bobby Moore in Mexico' sense of course

We'll live, I wait with baited breath to see the replacements.

Mavrias, Molberg K and Watmore are a million mile from the standard of those two though fella, the gulf is huge. Certainly not good enough to rely on if one of main lads get a long lay off. I'd be surprised if they've all gone to Portugal.
