ATB Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 Would rather go after list two. Seems really strange that it should be so much problems between Keegan and the others according to reports. Everyone should now what was going to happened and they have even has an "clear the air" talk... Keegans player are indeed expensive but £20m would´t either be enough for list two. Young guns are expensive. Also strange that the club wants to have players with good sell on value. Don´t see the reason to buy players and then sell them I am going to wait and see what is going to happened before I judge anything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sondre Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 Anyone here seen Anthony Annan at Stabaek? He is one half of the pair at Ghana's central midfield, the other half being Essien. Have seen him in the Norwegian league this year, and he has been real class, outshining every other midfielder in the league this year. Would come on the cheap, as the club who owns him, Start, got relegated last autumn, and is in real need of some cash. He has been linked to Pompy, Boro and Bolton recently. He's very highly rated. Essien supposedly recommended him to Chelsea, and many other big clubs are after him. Still, I wouldnt mind a bid below the £3-4m mark I'd personally take him over Butt any day. Has technique, work rate, and he's a great passer of the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Heneage Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 I'd really hope that Vetere and Keegan would work together I'm hoping Keegan isn't being immature by dismissing Veteres signings as the lads clearly got talent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest koye Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 I'm not sure Anthony Annan is good enough.....He has played well this season, but the Norwegian league is a million miles away from the Premier League. I don't think he's able to cope with the pace in the prem.. He seems like a stupid person as well Maybe he could have been a squad player for us, but now we have to improve our starting 11 rather than strengthening our squad.

He seems like a stupid person as well Maybe he could have been a squad player for us, but now we have to improve our starting 11 rather than strengthening our squad. He would strengthen our squad at DM. Better than Butt imo, and has played really well for Ghana (a strong side you must remember). When he's paired with Essien there, still playing in the tippeliga, I believe it says something about his quality. Though the Norwegian league can't be compared to the PL, you can't use that as an argument for not buying quality. Lots of the best players in the world have played in small leagues before being discovered. That's how you get the gem's on the cheap, not settling for names who are proven like Alan Smith.

Guest teepee Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 seems interesting with a young dcm - with him and butt shifting about a bit for a season. that would give him time to settle. and if he is only half the player essien is, he'd be fantastic for us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a lot of bollocks talked by Rangers and Celtic fans (never Newcastle fans like ) but a Rangers fan told me the (now cancelled) friendly was part of the Cuellar deal. I'm still undecided about him, he plays in a 9 man defence so he's bound to look not bad, but he looked dodgy on Saturday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats few times people have said that however I doubt it as usually its the selling clubs ground that the friendly is played at to generate more funds for that club as an extra incentive to sell.

IMO I think he'd be a great signing. Dont forget he's had to carry David Weir all year, and as i've said numerous times before, he is composed on the ball and is very rarely beaten in the air. Get him in...for the right price! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest YANKEEBLEEDSMAGPIE Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 agreed wholeheartedly. Since the club haven't had the coherence or wherewithal to follow your simple instructions in recent years, an alternative may be to target players from countries not typically considered to be prem pipelines (croatia, russia, greece, poland, etc.) and nab some of those players who could probably be signed on the cheap. The signing of Rozenhal should be a cautionary example, but not the kind of thing that cripples our courage to sign European players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
