Tisd09 Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 I sure some people would find fault at signing Ronaldo or Messi, almost any transfer link we have had some people have just hammerred it. Deco is a class above anyone we got in our squad, yes he is getting on a bit and maybe his fee would be too much for us, but we would be very lucky to have a player like Deco playing for us next season.

The important factor isn't Deco's undoubted quality, it's whether he would be prepared to come here. I doubt it so I wouldn't waste too much time over the prospect.

80 Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 I sure some people would find fault at signing Ronaldo or Messi, almost any transfer link we have had some people have just hammerred it. Ronaldo literally cannot play any better, he's at his peak - there's nowhere left for him to go but down, now. We should be looking to sign someone on their way up as opposed to making an investment that will depreciate. As for Messi, have you checked up on his history? Growth hormone treatment as a kid? That body of his only has a few years of play in it - and most of them have been spent. At a club with a history of injury trouble like our's, he'd be mooing within a fortnight.

We should be looking to sign someone on their way up as opposed to making an investment that will depreciate. this is a very, very good point - he's not only reached personal level of fitness and ability that outstrips his peers more importantly he's playing in a team that is virtually geared towards creating space for him to mauraud (sp?) about in should he leave man u in the next couple of years i'd strongly predict he'll never come close to the last couple of seasons Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He sets the toneand has a great influence for the team. It is essentially his team right now. They look to him to make things happen when they attack. It's a great position to be in at one of the top clubs in the world and quite frankly I think he is crazy to want to go to Madrid. At Madrid he just will not have the same status on the team. It is always going to be a team of galacticos and they will always bring in other big name and big ego players. Ronaldo will not hold the same importance or influence on the pitch. His teammates just aren't likely to allow him to be the focal point in the same way he is at Man U. In other words there will be major hateration. Van nistelhorse is going to want to do his thing. Sneijder being the brilliant player he is is going to want to do his thing. Robinho is going to want to do his thing. The king of Real, Raul is going to want to do his thing too. I just don't think it'll gel that well and the chemistry could be quite poor. I don't really see Ronaldo blending in with so many other players of this type. Yeah, I agree. I don't think he would do as well there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oakie Doke Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Goodison Park boss David Moyes is planning a daring raid on Sporting Lisbon to snatch Portugal's £16m-rated Joao Moutinho from under the noses of Manchester United and Arsenal.

Guest MagFinnPie Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Joao Moutinho = Hugo Viana not quite, he's actually played several seasons for Sporting starting XI and hugo only had one(not even always starting) to be played out of position doesn't always help you either Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teasy Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 I wouldn't buy Deco even if he'd come. He's 31 in two months and they want, what?, £15 million for him? Then he'd want massive wages on a decent length contract. We'd end up spending £30 million on a player who's legs would fall off within a couple of seasons, he'd end up like Viduka but on even higher wages, hobbling down to Gregg's on his zimmer frame to spend his £100,000 a week on sausage and bean melts.

Ikon Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Joao Moutinho = Hugo Viana Because they are both short and from Portugal? Moutinho is a hard working midfielder and runs alot apart from his other qualitys Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colocho Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Joao Moutinho is no Hugo Viana, he's a far more aware and diverse player. More to the point, neither of them would join a club not playing European football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 When Zidane was at Real he was at the centre of it all... they looked to give him the ball whenever possible. Whilst Ronaldo is a very different type of player I can see him being the main man over there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typical "transfer is going on a bit, bet we are waiting for another player to sign before we unveil". Would be nice though if it wasnt bollocks.
