Here we go with another striker linked with us... Tandari Lee. Japanese Striker just been released by Souuthampton. At this rate we'll be linked with every striker in the world
Adam Le Fondre's odds of joining Leeds United in January have been slashed from 6/1 to 4/6 http://sky.me/1m3yx8P #lufc #mot
We've missed out on Chalobah from Chelsea on loan ... after his Forest loan finished, he has joined up with Karanka at Boro ... this was the only deal Mourinho was going to sanction as Karanka was his assistant at Real Madrid ... oh well
Luke Moore ... really? I would be very disappointed if we wasted money on this has-been, can't see what on earth he would add to our team ... please no, rather get Le Fondre and make a statement Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
Here's a little puzzle:- A few months ago we tried to get Chris Burke from Birmingham, but they wanted £300k for him, even though he would be a free agent in the summer and BMcd said he wasn't willing to spend that amount on a player he could get for free in a few months time. No player who only has a couple of months is worth that sort of money. Fast forward to last week when Burnley had bid for Ashley Barnes and we tried to hijack it for £500k. So why would BMcD change his mind. I would have preffered us getting Chris Burke last week instead of the 2 we got.
McD is working on signing pre-contract deals with players out of contract in June, so maybe Burke is amongst those, along with Rowe from Posh Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
Billy so what you're saying is that we have just wasted wages on Stewart and kebe because those are wingers you're talking about, it makes no sense mate, but then nothing has for the last month
Firstly I thought it was 600k for Burke. Secondly, would you really have preferred Burke to the 2 players we have got. Admittedly, both haven't started well but Kebe is a class act, by far Reading's best player when they got promoted and not only that has both the hard working and quality attributes in his game, the guy will turn out to be a great signing imo. and I think its a shame that we won't be able to sign him in the summer (I heard the clause is we sign him if we get promoted only). And onto Stewart, he is a full 8 years younger than Burke, not that long ago a 2mish bid from leicester got rejected from Hull because they thought he was worth more than that, has clear potential and just needs to find his feet again. I still was a little surprised we didn't pursue Burke in the summer but I can see what McD's thinking was. He doesn't have the ability to step up at his age and we probably didn't really have the funds to waste in the summer either. If we are looking at playing 4-4-2 we need at least 4 wide players/wingers in the squad who are all capable of playing in the first team, such an important position in the modern game. I don't know enough about Rowe though (I heard he has been injured a bit this season) and I would only be getting Burke on a 2 year contract at most imo. if we do go for him, maybe that won't be enough but for the reasons stated above I don't think he'd be worth anymore than that. but I never thought we had a chance of buying Liam Moore, not that we need a CB anyway. I wouldn't mind Luke Moore, at this level and for free he would do ok. Also comparing him to our other strikers I think he'd be at the very very least 3rd choice striker which would improve our squad if nothing else. Admittedly, he's never scored much but I think he could help Ross get the goals a bit like how blackstock did. Of course I would prefer if we got better though
Here's a possible reason think about this. It is highly unlikely I admit but what if ..... We have no cash to buy anyone. Would that explain why we have none of the players you mention on our books. Nah, come to think of it, that's too far fetched
I never cease to be amazed este when we can't buy a player for 300k, so many have to look for a variety of reasons when the obvious one is staring them in the face
