Realistic Summer Targets

[tmonkey]

bentley is miles better than kranjcar... kranjcar still nervous player as always doesn't seem have high confidence... for what i have seen he use the same trick movement over and over again. very un-creative one. he's i think the poorest midfield on Portsmouth now. i think if Croatia doesn't win from england no one will wanking all over him.

Clearly don't watch Portsmouth too often.

 

He was excellent in a quiet way against ManU in the FA Cup. Without really doing anything noteworthy, he looked a good player able to hold his own and play his game against a team of very good players.

I know this is non-NUFC, but surely this is a typo, and there should be a decimal point in there...

 

"WEST HAM boss Alan Curbishley is planning an £18million raid for Argie striker Mauro Zarate.

Zarate, 21, is on loan at Birmingham from Al-Sadd in Qatar."

Zarate would cost £2m more than what we paid for Michael Owen, and Barca for Henry?

 

 

 

Looks decent but 18M is a bit much for someone who has had a few good games in the Prem.  Marcus Stewart looked good for one season and scored a boat load.  You need to see people over a period of time to judge that if once the defenders in the league get used to the way the lad plays, his threat can be nullified.

 

not if you sign him for 15k/week

[Martin Lol]

Man City have offered £11m for JJ, not been told yes, not been told no either. 

 

It's obvious that he can go if the money is right and there is a replacement signed, maybe KK might start a bidding war??

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh ok, KK wont then!

Agent would be pretty stupid to agree a wage of £15k a week when they know the potential buyer thinks he is worth spending £18m on him in transfer fee's.

[1878]

Everton are struggling to agree a fee for Pienaar.

 

When i've see him he's looked good, anyone else share their thoughts?

 

£2.4m or something n all. Would take him in a heartbeat. Has looked good everytime i've watched him for Everton and I'm sure 1878 has given a good report or two before n all. Quick, creative, two decent feet, can play all along the midfield - get him in.

 

£2.2m I think it is. He's a really good player.

 

I'm pretty sure  we'll sign  him  like, he'll just  be trying to squeeze some extra pennies out of us when it's time for personal terms.

[SUPERTOON]

Jermaine Jones now playing for Schalke looks very good

[Guest sicko2ndbest]

similar to kevin prince boateng.

[Yorkie]

West Ham's transfer policy is funny. They've spent fucking boatloads on mid-table shite. Guess what, they're mid-table.

 

Of all these clubs that have had hefty cash injections - even though these lot were one of the first (after Chelsea), what with Magnusson - they're the ones i least fear. Curbishley ffs.

I'm pretty sure their net spend was lower than ours this summer. They sold an awful lot of awful players.

Yep, i know, it wasn't too high.

 

However, regardless of whether or not they've done alright financially, they have had a big transfer budget and wasted it.

Di Canio will get the West Ham job eventually.

 

If not, Bilic.

I thought they'd been quite unlucky personally. They invested heavily in pace and attacking flair, but Dyer and Faubert have barely played two games between them this summer whilst Bellamy and Ljungberg have spent most of the season on the injury table. Granted, if you buy injury prone players you expect a few knocks, but it seems excessive what's happened to them this year.

 

Quite an exciting team they could put out if all of Ashton, Bellamy, Faubert, Dyer, Ljungberg, Solano and Noble were fit.

& you know what, I'm f*cking delighted for them what with all the injuries, another team I detest. Academy this, academy that. 'F*ck off' 

[LooneyToonArmy]

Newcastle after Luka Modric? price tag 20-30 M Euro, media in Croatia are saying that Tottenham are close to signing him for 23 M Euros but Newcastle are willing to pay more.

 

No link sorry as its from a Croatian newcastle fan on another forum I post at...anyways it would be in Croatian if there was a link

[Guest Baxter]

Eurosport newsflash "Portsmouth manager Harry Redknapp expresses desire for Liverpool striker Peter Crouch" 

[NG32]

Get Crunchie here !

[fredbob]

What about Ruud Van Horseface, dont think he'd demand a huge fee, would no doubt that he'd score stupid amounts ad would be a good name to have in the side. I know he's on the older side but i think id take him over Henry.

Would love it - but Real would never let him go...at least not next season.

He was practically scoring all the goals for them until he got injured.

Still forst choice at Madrid when fit

[STM]

I'd take Crouch here.

 

So under rated as a footballer. Would prefer someone more creative mind.

[SUPERTOON]

Portuguese press saying that Joao Moutinho will be allowed to leave for 10 million with us and Arsenal trying to sign him

[La Parka]

I'd take Crouch here.

Agree.

 

See the thread I created in the summer and the abuse I got.

 

Some reason he is rated *very* low on here. He always is a threat with the ball at his feet, and has improved his aerial game immensely.

[fredbob]

I'd take Crouch here.

Dont think Keegan would want Crouch though. I persoanlly dont like him, i dont think he's a player that scares defendes but is a very awkward attacker. Dont think he has any outstanding attribtues, no real pace, no great strength, his heading is surprisingly poor, one good thing about him s that to be fair to him, his link up play is pretty good.

 

In my opinion Keegan wont sign anyone who hasnt got an outstanding attribute, be it pace, skill or link up play.

True, but at that age surely they will be looking at other options, the man will have his price, and im sure it will be a reasonable one as well.

 

Someone like him id have no problem having here, doesnt have much baggage with him and is a proven goalscorer at every single level. Still world class in my opinion and not the type of player who is looking for a last pay check.

 

Having said all that, he'd probably still only have 2 years as a top class striker left in him, so paying £8-12m for him may not be the best bit of business.

Dynamo Zagreb President Zdravko Mamic met with Levy and Comolli at WHL on Tuesday.  Modric was the reason for the meeting, the fee wanted is £18m (don't know how that equates to €'s)  but I wouldn't say that Spurs are close to signing him, just very interested.  They are also very interested in signing Danijel Pranjic from Heerenveen though it's today been reported that Ajax also want him.  A Croatian MF next season??
