In fact if the Echo had not broken the story I don't think either club would have confirmed it, meaning it would have been completed and announced completely out of the blue like Jonas. Alright, we had a rumour from .com but that was about it IIRC. Whilst some prefer to go on the newspaper gossip, and some think we're not doing much behind the scenes, I like it this way.

Syrette Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 You're wrong though Dave, we're not trying to sign anyone and the window is almost closed. Our fans are deluded, only random unknown players like Gutierrez will come to us. The players we're bringing in are useless and aren't flair players because Keegan doesn't like attacking, creative football. We're going to get relegated.

Thespence Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 I really don't have preferred method of how we do business as I am more interested in who we sign & how it turns out. Everyone knew Fergie/Man Utd were after Anderson, Nani Owen Hargreaves & Tevez & that seemed to work out canny. Rafa may have upset Villa & Spurs by going public but I think everyone knows them players want to go to Anfield now. Utilizing the media for some signings is part of reeling in process which big clubs have to do now to force sales through. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

afar Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 This one is not really out of the blue like the Jonas deal though, the story has been doing the rounds for a while now. Just not a very exciting story, so hasn't received a lot of attention. As someone said above, who gives a shit how our transfer business is conducted as long as we get the right players in through the doors. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Can we avoid turning this thread into yet another argument about the board please? It certainly wasn't my intention, and it's just the usual suspect looking for a bite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ally Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Anderson and Nani was announced from no-where iirc. I remember a camera crew following Carlos Q & David Gill in Lisbon. I seem to remember just logging on the internet one day to see these 2 random players i'd never heard of sign for like £40m, seemed to come from no-where. I might well have been a bit detached from the football news at that point though so you're probably right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the quotes "more professional". More professional than what ? Its not me thats obsessed man, I'm not making anything up !!!!! I only hope its a quality player, thats all.
