I'd like Eriksen but we have to remember he is far from the real deal yet. Hasn't kept improving at the same rate, inconsistency issues. Also there isn't 'no interest' in him - he's been far more heavily linked with AC Milan than us recently.
Eriksen might not have whored himself out, but his agent has been doing a sterling job of it for him. At times, he's said that he'd like to play in Spain for Barca, his dream club would be AC milan or other Italian clubs and that he'd love a move to LFC amongst others. He's been fishing for a big move for his client for a while and has spoken to alot of European teams about it. Eriksen has only said that he's happy for now in Ajax - which I think is commendable - but his agent's a dick. That is apparently what is putting off most teams, plus the unrealistic demands put forward from him (the agent, not Eriksen). Not sure I want him anyway, he's never impressed me during a game I've watched. Not consistently. At 12mill it could be a good gamble though as he obviously does have ability.
I'd take Eriksen, wouldn't have been first choice as he tends to play in the middle rather than out wide, but he is creative and has shown he can do it at the top level in the CL.
Anyone actually think we'll sign any of these players we're linked to? I am sick of reading that we're about to sign the likes of Willian, Eriksen, Mkhitryan and it just isn't happening
I have been fairly optimistic about us signing someone which isn't usual for me but I'm starting to think we won't now.
skertl still not back. is he injured or about to leave.... stand by for more skertl leaving stories in tomorrows media.... if any hacks have the brains of a gnat they'd see this story and print.
They'll regurgitate the usual stuff on Suarez instead, followed by another Rooney column and top it up by talking about the Bale transfer they have no clue about
yeah the rooney stuff and suarez stuff and bale stuff has been written already for the sunday rags based on marca etc.... they won't be doing anything bar stilted reports and drinking themselves stupid for free round the grounds the bastards. well i'm on record and before any hack.. skertl bid imminent.
We rejected a 10mill bid (I think 10, maybe 8) from Napoli only a few days ago - mostly because of the Coates injury and us not having a new CB signing yet. Napoli since moved their interest to other defenders
Agbonlahor any one? Far from first choice but after missing out on three targets... If Sahko signs what would you prefer in our first 11? Toure Agger Sahko Agger (both left footed) Toure Sahko with the other on the bench.
good straight to the point response. What happened to your 'Cissohko and Willian will both be unveiled together'?
Our number one priority should be a defensive midfielder. Lucas is looking better but I felt he struggled a bit today. He needs competition for his place, plus the squad lacks cover for that role. and no to Gabby, I'd prefer Benteke (yes, I know, but I've changed my mind!)
Still upset we're not going for Papa. Let's face it, if he's fully fit he is without doubt going to one of the top 10 teams in the world. In our position we have to take a risk and get him now while he's recovering from the long term injury. This season he can be cover for Agger and Toure and even Lucas in DM and then he can be eased in. He wouldn't have to disrupt the Toure Agger partnership which has looked quite good in the first couple of games.
How do you know we arent in for him? Why would he be going to top 10 in the world? Without doubt, really? "and get him now while he's recovering from the long term injury" Incredible
