Tooj Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 But on loan? Wondering if there is a buy clause at the end of the loan...not really excited about helping other's players develop Aye I'd have been devastated if we'd have got Tevez in on loan.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 only thing about this deal that bothers me is that its a loan deal, what happens if he takes the premier league by storm then the big 4 could step in You're right, I hope he's rubbish.

Guest hikickry Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 I wonder how many people would have been happy at paying £20m for one Andrei Arshavin this time last year. i wouldnt really be happy paying that for him now tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAK Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Whats so difficult to get people? A player on a years loan is better than no player at all. Even if we don't have an option to buy, and we don't know if we don't, if he performs well helping to push us up the league and therfore making us a more attractive proposition for other quality players next summer. I can see that as nothing but positive and if he fails we just send him back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_R Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 To those whinging their tits off that Keegan's brought in a 26 year old attacking midfielder that nobody's heard of, can I just say "Rob Lee". Have some faith. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Geordie Boyo Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Sounds good to me. A bit more cover within defence and that would do just nicely for now. Baye Edgar Taylor Cacapa Coloccini Bassong Enrique Lough A couple of injuries in defence and we look a little bit inexperienced. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here we go again on this forum . it's the same old s***, anyone that does follow the party line is mocked and ridiculed, instead of people just respecting other peoples opinions, because that's all they bloody are opinions and the "party line" is no way more correct then any others.

steve_69 Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 We tried for Modric but didn't get him We tried for Aimar but didn't get him We were interested in Nasri but he went to Arsenal. We've blatantly tried to sign a top class ACM but unfortunately it hasn't happened. Instead of going through the season without one, or splashing ridiculous money on Arda or Arshavin, Keegan takes a punt on a lesser known south american, but to minimise the risk he takes him on loan rather than buying him outright. That way if he's shite we have no obligation but if he's good we keep him. It's a win-win deal and a very sensible way of doing business. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly they're opinions deserving of dismissal.

Were you the first person, to call people on this thread who disagree with you whingers ? The fact is you've seen fuck all for him too so don't tell me not to me a little dubious about this one either. Rob Lee was Charton's star player, he was getting great reviews every week playing for them, Boro were already sniffing around him. Yes his game improved when he was with us, but he was a class player playing with better players, so it was to be expected. If you hadn't heard of Rob Lee back then when he was at Charlton then you knew fuck all about football. 700k back then was a lot of money, in today's market he would fetch a lot more than that.
