Ikon Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Goodish player and at that money no harm done. Can play 2/3 positions and still developing. For me it's a quiet buy. I agree...Wouldn't demand very high wages either.....Good buy for the squad..I would sell Milner if we can get a really good price for him and go for a Quality RW also with pace and maybe we can get Arda turan.. Turan/zoggy and New Rw/Larsson wouldn't be too bad to have as left and right sided players... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 I think Larsson is one of those players who are currently under-rated, but might well become a highly effective member of the squad. Some players look great individulaly others contribute more to the team pattern. Could be a very astute buy. The best signings aren't always the most spectacular ones.

johnnypd Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 underwhelming. good squad player but we need better than what we have not just more of the same. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tisd09 Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Give the lack of depth in our squad and the Barton situation I am amazed alot of people would be against signing this guy. He is a good player IMO no world beater at the moment but has very decent potential. Could develop into a right little gem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Think this could be a brilliant piece of business. Under Keegan, he could develop into a cracking little player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stozo Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 If we are sacking Barton he'd be a good replacement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlucky Luque Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Think this could be a brilliant piece of business. Under Keegan, he could develop into a cracking little player. Agree, but no more than £4m for him IMO Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredbob Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Another player who will be overpaid for off the bakc of a good tournament, if he wasnt already on the radar then there isnt a single chance we will get him, the club wont overpay for a player who was available on the cheap but comands a big fee after the tournament.

chicago_shearer Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 underwhelming. good squad player but we need better than what we have not just more of the same. More of the same? You want a few more over 30 Championship players like Butt & Geremi? Larsson would be a vast improvement and would offer a lot more on set pieces. Pleased if this happens.

Guest Heneage Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 I thought the concept was "3 or 4 Quality" players. NOT "3 or 4 players released by bigger clubs who've had a good season" (Emphasis on SEASON) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Be a good signing as long as he's not the lad we're bringing in and expecting to turn us around or anything. Tidy player who can play a few different positions. Technically very good which is something we lack badly in midfield, I'd be happier seeing him on the pitch than Geremi or Milner.

And why isn't Larsson quality? He's a young international with Premiership experience and the most accurate free kick taker in the league.

toontownman Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Cant believe the amount of people freaking here, besides the fact he would be a great addition to the squad, how many players have we supposedly put bids in for this summer, ive lost count, none of them have come off and most sources were more reputable.

Larsson is flattered by the interest and see us as a big club. However, he's only concentrating on Euro 2008, and his agent's handling everything atm. Wigan and Man City are also interested - but we 'lead' the chase. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can take freekicks thats it, he can't create from open play and would be an average signing on 30k. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 So, can people shut up about us not being active in the transfer window then? This proves, yet again, that the press has no clue what we're doing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but he isn't going for £20m so he's obviously not good enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
