John Arne Riise anyone?

Best rumour so far..!

Let's hope diplomats don't start using Google to provide translations..we'd be at war before long. What on earth is a second yellow? Would like Riise for his experience, but I'd also like David Beckham and Messi (despite being shiite) but not hopeful.

 

Just noticed that the fail and the mirror reported it yesterday too.

I personally can't see it happening, but god I would love it.

 

That's a great translation: "Riise would have flown it in 'Hampshire to hear the proposal of the English club"

Looks like he has another problem as well, looking at his shirt.

 

i would lov it.

 

Must be true if it's in the papers. Have to say that, unless he's deteriorated badly, he'd be great.

 

I'm sorry but I just cannot see this happening. I mean, what would his wage demands be? £40-50K per week no doubt.

 

I agree with Wisescummer, Would be a great signing to show our intent but surely his wages will be too much.

 

Not sure he would keep Seaborne out of the team

 

Its ok Leicester will buy him.

 

I'd snap your hand off for him. We'll see, he may fancy a route back into playing in England. Surprised he's 30, thought he was older than that.

 

i love love love literal translations.

as for riise, another left sided player?? do we really need one?

 

I would take him just for this:

Wasn't it Riise who scored that wonderful looping own goal at St.Marys a few years back? Headed it in from about twenty five yards.

I'd still come if he joined us though.

 

love that vid

 

I would love it, just love it if we signed him. (said in a Kevin Keegan stylee!)

 

Well, as the Google suggested Roma have started to look for new wide defenders to 'dare fiato' - basically in this context I think means give support (and probably encourage to play better!) to players who have commanded their positions for 3 years. However the interest in Angel who plays in Riise's position and could replace him has displeased the Norwegian who has even asked to be released/sold to England.

According to the market website Southampton are interested in him and he has actually flown to Hampshire to hear from them.

 

Sure, let's just build a team of left-backs.

 

Move lallana to right riise on the LM

 

And Chamberlain down the middle? Might be onto something there...

Riise Schneiderlin Chamberlain Lallana - a Premier League midfield if I ever saw one.
