Who ever said he would be coming to us ? But never say never anymore. Also if he wants CL football that rules out Spurs. Who is to say that Long wants to leave ? It could well be his wife who is the driver of this whole thing. She is from Reading. So far nothing has happened officially. Nope. Not worth what Watford want either which is £10m by all accounts.
If thats what it takes to replace Longs goals sure. The old values for players clearly have no bearing on this transfer window.
It has been insane. The amount of money in football is scary. I read yesterday that Porto have made £430m in player sales in the last 10 years.
Was Long ever going to score that many? I think there's a stat that says we scored fewer goals per game last season with him and Jelavic than without.
Nope. But OLM always does. Hernandez wont be going to Spurs. IF Juventus want him that is it. . Reports from down south suggest that they want the same as Fulham paid out to TWS for Ross McCormack. £11m. No way is Deeney worth that amount. So would I.
The local USL team not even an MLS team mind you is considering spending $100 million on a new stadium. There is no chance they are even good enough to beat our development team. They currently play in an empty field turned pitch in the center of a fair grounds.
When I've seen him play, he has been impressive. He's big and strong and mobile. He's not as quick and tenacious as Long, but he is good in the air and a good finisher. He'd be a better replacement for Jelavic.
If you think that now just wait until 2016. The new PL tv deal is thought to be worth 3 times what it is now. Yes, but that would take care of £12m at least.
IF (big if) both do go then havent we in one stroke lost all the pace in our side? Add in the fact that we've just signed the slowest wide player in history and it'll be a very different kind of team next season....
I missed nothing, Juventus and Spurs are the two teams chasing him, just because he wants Champions League football, doesn't mean he's going to get it.
