Official Summer Signings / Rumours / Information Thread

That would put some serious fear into teams. link up play,players who can make their own, players who can change a game on their own, vision........ about to go home and pick up Fifa now!

 

Adrian form Atl. Madrid would be a good signing for these as well.

 

C'mon guys - lets pick up Alonso in the summer - he still loves the club and hasn't lost any of his pace at Real. Perhaps if Reina is off in the summer we could pick up Iker Casillias from Real too, as a job lot...

 

What if Mourinho takes Alonso to Chelsea to feed Torres?

 

To be fair, that's like saying Thomas Gravesen didn't lose any hair while he was at Real.

 

Wash your mouth out with bleach and pepper spray!!!

 

Argh no! I jinxed it!

Rodgers speakes:

I picked out some interesting quotes.

New specialist coaches?

Adding experience - So the owners will allow older players? (Williams)

He see's Shelvey as youth not first team?

 

Alonso?

 

'Twould be nice

 

Experience does not always mean older players. Eriksen, Bale, Suarez when he joined etc are / where all expreinced players but they are / were 23 or under.

 

That's true. Stop being ****ing sensible Where is every ****er?

 

True.

Older players at small clubs can have less experience than young players at bigger clubs.

 

Toon to move for Liverpools Jay Spearing?

Ps - found this on the Toon board

 

Exactly. But then, just because we are not in Europe and have to look around for players does not mean we have to buy from 'smaller' clubs. We can take the Suarez approach and buy from a CL club that are in a 'lesser' league, aka Eriksen from Ajax (I don't expect this to happen, purely an example).

I think Williams would be a good player for us, he is the type of defender we need. However, he will be far too expensive and he lacks experience despite being too old for our recruitment policies!

 

straight swap for Cabaye?

 

Cabaye and HBA straight swap for Spearing and Carroll? ...

Sure!

 

Despite the complaining I have done about HBA, I would be very happy with that swap

 

Exactly what I was thinking, whilst HBA isn't everyone's favourite cup of tea he'd still be a old addition to the squad.

If we do pull something like that off (I don't think it will btw) then we really would have got our own back regarding the Carroll saga.

Cabaye + Hatem for Carroll and Spearing, including the 6-0 defeat that could potentially send them down ... Yes please!

 

well.... ok so lets think about it.. spearing for anyone... that sounds ok to me. if jay needs that move cos rodgers doesn't rate him we simply must let the lad go. lets face it we are not talking about a top 4 player here we are talking about a squad player so aside from the obvious wishing a local lad would play for us we need to look at warnock and guthrie and way that Jay deserves to make the most of himself

Then there's the whole hba thing. If we did do a no cash swapse for carroll and spearing for cayabe and hba i'd be happy as in theory we could do this in may and get it done.

HOWEVER. lets see who goes down cos then this is moot.

my main thing here is will we buy early or have to wait for carroll money. I fear we spent our summer money in january.. just hoping thats not the case.
