Not really as it is cunning plan these chumps sign a load CCC standard players & then we buy there PL players when they are looking off load a few.

Yorkie Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Now we've lost out on Beckford, i'd rather we just went back in for Harewood. I'd admit a bit of giddiness when we were going for Beckford - because it was like, "ooo, wow, he's English, he scores for fun, Andy Cole lol", etc etc... but the truth is, we can get Harewood in on loan till the end of the season - no strings attached. He can do the job Beckford/Boyd were/are being chased to do, but we don't have to keep him on next season where he/they blatantly won't be good enough.

Ronaldo Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 We should have signed up Harewood as soon as his loan ended. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Tbh i think it's beyond inevitable that he'll be back here, somewhere between the 27th and the 31st. After another goalless draw at home to Palace, and no sign of any permanent signing. So obviously going to happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Incidentally, Zaragoza looking to offload Braulio, Ayala, Luccin, Songo'o and Ewerthon. Ayala was one of the best CBs in the planet... 7-8 years ago. Luccin was a scary DM, but I think he's lost his legs already. Braulio's never been very good, but he scored that backheel against Spurs. Songo'o a tricky winger, and one of our former boys, but he isn't very good. However, he already has experience in being ineffectual in the CCC for a series of club, and even warmed the bench for Pompey. Ewherton scored 28 in Segunda División last year. Actually this reminds me somebody should go and rescue Zaragoza's *other* and better former Brazilian forward, Oliveira, who is now in some Arabian joke team (probably on crazy money though). Guy scored 15+ in back to back seasons of La Liga. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Ewerton a Pro/Fifa legend. Can't beat raw pace. Was decent at BVB i seem to remember before he went to Spain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 We should have signed up Harewood as soon as his loan ended. Nowt wrong with seeing who else is available first. It's not like Harewood is going anywhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thespence Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 With QPR winger Wayne Routledge in Strachan’s sights, along with the likes of Kevin Phillips, Kris Boyd and Scott McDonald, Middlesbrough would hope to have plenty new recruits before the transfer window closes. http://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/sport/4860768.Robson_urges_fans_to_give_Strachan_a_chance/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

madras Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 So Man Utd are apparently signing this Norwegian teenager we had on trial a few months ago. What did they see that we didn't? see Peter Bolesław Schmeichel. we did want schmichael, but like most given the choice between them and us he chose them.

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 also on the subject of Burra players. On placement I went to Lita's press conference at their training ground. That Mark Yeates fella who they've just flogged came in, and everyone said alright to him, a few shook his hand. I had absolutely no fucking idea who he was. Quietly I asked the reporter who I was shadowing who the heck just came in, however, 2 reporters from BBC Tees and TFM heard me, and I got an extremely scornful look of 'OMGZ!!!!!!111!! hav u neva herd of MARK YEATES?! He's the next Pele ye know'. I immediately lost all respect from them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummie Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Boyd in Villa talks The Sun - Andy Devlin - 5 minutes ago Newcastle United and Middlesbrough also remain keen on Boyd, who broke Henrik Larsson's SPL goals record last month. The player, however, won't be rushed ... He was at our match last night, apparently. "Yes, Kris, this is what the atmosphere is like every home game". If we're moving Harewood out and replacing him with Boyd, fair enough, but we really need a better goalscorer than the ones we have already Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, we really do need a striker. Although Milner weighing in with so many from midfield helps *gets coat* We have Robbie Keane who's a washed up, abysmal excuse of a footballer nowadays. We have Pavlychenko who is the weakest striker i've ever seen play for spurs (i promise i'm not exaggerating although Steffen Iversen comes close). I like Crouch and Defoe but i think we need another option. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 So Man Utd are apparently signing this Norwegian teenager we had on trial a few months ago. What did they see that we didn't? see Peter Bolesław Schmeichel. Sure that had something to do with him impressing on trial, but we wouldn't pay £500k for him when we could get a proven top-flight keeper in Dave Beasant for a little bit more...wow.
