Sahin

Downing?! no, NO, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

 

I think it may of been on this thread but I said last night that I think (if we get Sahin) this midfield rivals 'the greatest midfield in the world' of Gerrard, Alonso, Mascherano and Sissoko. Bare in mind that that was six or seven years ago and they were unestablished youngsters back then too

 

Agree, has the potential to be a perfectly balanced midfield/attack

(Perhaps Gerrard as false 9)

Even that midfield had problems when one was out though. Especially Gerrard or Alonso. This one has more depth.

 

What about the five year old...?

How do you do the NSFW thingy?

 

I'v thought about this fulse 9 thing to.

I think it could be a great role for Gerrard. Could see a lot of goals.

 

As long as they know not to tell mummy what he saw.

 

No chance

Its ok, I'm alone at work

 

Congratulations guys on getting Sahin, bit gutted we missed out on him. He is a top quality player and will improve ANY team.

I think the terms of the deal were heavily favoured towards real. The lack of option to buy and a reported £2m !!! loan fee as well as £120k per week wages meant that we were never going to go with it.

Shame, but there you go.

Good luck for the rest of the season. Hope Sahin scores the winner against Utd

 

They have to learn it all one day...

 

Not a done deal yet

 

I'm hoping his three year old brother will tell him

 

I think the percentage was high though. I'd read that Real were expecting the loan club to pay up to 95% of his wages.

New system?

 

Thanks although the numbers are up for interpretatoin at this stage. The BBC saying £14m option and a "larger proportion" of wages and £4m fee. but £4m is nothing if it means we get sahin for £14m or indeed if he gets us CL

 

If not he could make his debut against Arsenal.

Would be even better if we signed Walcott to.

 

Meh not a fan of walcott tbh, all pace and no brains

 

I think he could be good for us. Especially if we adopt a fulse 9 role.
