KaKa Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 It's a tenuous link at this point but I'll take it! The Trophy signing lives!!! From the Times: Newcastle United have expressed an interest in Juninho but Lyons have said that the former Brazil midfield player is not for sale. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/article2351326.ece Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElDiablo Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Deep lying midfielder, creative, deadly over set pieces, old-ish. Sounds about right for us! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shak Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Almost certainly bollocks obviously. Can you imagine the tactics if we did get him?

KaKa Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Yeah it's bollocks. Have faith man! This seems like the most realistic of all the 'flair' midfielders we have been linked with. Deco might have just been a bit out of reach and well Ronaldinho ... that was just silly (and depressing ). Juninho is much more realistic though and seems very similar to the Okocha and Djorkaeff moves Sam made at Bolton. He is just old enough to fit right in Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mind if I don't? Plus it's in the section marked "long shots" which, for a British newspaper, translates as "you've got more chance of signing Father Christmas" and it actually says "not for sale" anyway!

KaKa Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 When is Motta arriving? You didn't answer yesterday. Tomorrow, at Man City. Newcastle have stepped aside to let Man City sign him. We have moved on to Juninho now. Keep up man! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Riquelme moves on Juan Román Riquelme, the Villarreal and Argentina mifdield player who had been offered to Newcastle United, West Ham United and Middlesbrough, has agreed a two-year deal with Atlético Madrid. The 29-year-old playmaker fell out with Manuel Pellegrini, the Villarreal coach, last season and was loaned out to Boca Juniors, his former club. Riquelme’s deal with Villarreal ran to June 2009 and he had been training on his own since the start of the new season. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/article2351340.ece Well ... I'm speechless. More evidence we're signing Juninho I guess! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 On the old Punt and Dennis sketch show, they used to have two characters called "The Gullibles" who were "always falling for scams."

Unbelievable Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Almost certainly bollocks obviously. Can you imagine the tactics if we did get him? 'Right lads, I want you to just get the ball withing thirty yards of their goal and the fling yourselves on the ground at the first opportunity.' Feyenoord, my club in Holland, won the Uefa Cup with those exact tactics a couple of years back, with Van Hooijdonk banging the freekicks in. It's a very effective strategy against stronger opposition.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to know how/why they selected those teams over others... was it the club or the player? Why boro? I can understand us and West Ham who are throwing cash around... but boro?
