Syrette Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Would hope he isnt first choice if he does sign would rather keep Geremi in there What a sad state of affairs that would be if we're getting in back-up for Geremi of all players. Should be the other way around. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Because Gutierrez is on Guthrie's level. that's why i said player/price jesus if you're gonna say something at least do it right Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BONTEMPI Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Hopefully just a squad player! Not the best by a long way. Hope next week we start to see real quality coming in! If we just get shite in then we know keegans been ordered to sell before he buys. I still have faith they'll get this place buzzing, but if not then Ashley's true ambitions will come to light.

KaKa Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Would hope he isnt first choice if he does sign would rather keep Geremi in there Geremi's got the mobility of my great great grandmother and she is no longer with us. If this kids limbs ar eactually in working order I would rather we gave him a chance before writing him off. Just my opinion but I imagine Guthrie would be one of the youngsters who we bring off the bench who should get the odd number of games for us as he continues to develop. Lets not forget we have extra subs this season so we really need to get some subs in too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenige Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 The thing is we're all being a bit quick to judge - just because he isn't some foreign superstar for a stupid transfer fee doesn't mean he can't do a job and potentially be a very good player for us. We all know Keegan can make players play with that little bit extra. Imagine what the boards would have been like if they'd been like this when Keegan signed Rob Lee.

Yorkie Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 I know i've lambasted Chez for advocating 'this sort of signing', but this one represents a better deal than the likes of Sidwell, if he is half-decent. It's an improvement, albeit a slight one, but he's got far more potential to improve. It's a better incremental step than what Sidwell would be, and is more similar to the potential Larsson one. And we need bodies in the centre of midfield, simple as. I'd be stunned if he was the only player in this position we signed so i'm not gonna 'cry into me cornflakes'.

We all know Keegan can make players play with that little bit extra. Imagine what the boards would have been like if they'd been like this when Keegan signed Rob Lee. I agree. It's just the way the premiership has become. It's more and more rare for teams of our stature to sign these relative unknowns. I will always give every player a chance though, as it is only fair. As someone mentioned earlier Keegan has good contacts in Liverpool and could have heard great things about the guy. As things stand he is a football player that our staff feel is worthy of signing and that is good enough for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 It looks to me like the Liverpool fans believe him to be a good back up to their first team. Which is decent considering they have Gerrard, Alonso, Mascherano. They are even debating whether he's better than Lucas. If we were to sign him around the 2m mark it would be brilliant buisness in my eyes. Seems to me like the club is going out of the way to boost the squad before splashing the cash on the stars, which for one reason or another don't seem to be available at this stage of the window. I imagine later on in this window, you will see bigger figures moving for players all around the country. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Edd Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Surprised they rate him so much, that's promising. They've got much better judgment than some of the so called fans on here who have already written the lad off before he's even kicked a ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same fans who think they have the greatest players in the history of football? Not like them to go overboard rating their own players at all is it.

Probably better to pad up the squad before going for the big money players as at least it means we don't look as desperate for players and so cannot be exploited.

vicente_14 Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 This could be similar to David Bentley, in that a young English player with plenty to prove can't get a look in at a top 4 side, takes the decision to step down a little bit and establish himself. Given the potential fee, we have a lot to gain, and not much to lose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
