KaKa Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Kevin Prince Boateng apparently available for £5 million. It would be rude not to at that price. We should go for his half-brother Jerome Boateng of Hamburg. Very quick defender and can play as a right back as well as centre back. Kevin Prince Boateng seems more realistic, though. Jerome Boaezeeeee was being linked with Man U and Man City the other day, so not sure we have a chance with that one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skirge Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 I think he will still be looking at Championship players or end of their career prem players, the transfer kitty is a worry but akso how much he is going to allow to go onto the wage bill. We used to get BIG player because we offered BIG wages that won't be happening anymore now. Anyone be willing to take Beye back ? I am sure he would love to return & he don't get a sniff at Villa.

I hope we won't resign any player who left us after relegation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 If we are to make the most of the money we have, we should be looking to foreign markets. Hopefully our scout will have been doing work for some time in this area. We are in a far stronger position to sign spanish/south american players due to our trio from spain and i hope we can use this to our advantage in the summer. I'd also like to think Hughton and Calderwood are taking their wives to South Africa for their holidays this year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thespence Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Players under 26 Resale value Price low to buy due to: contract running down or club up shit creek & some other factors. They are what the scouts & CH are looking for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlin Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Yakubu's goal record in the Premier League is up there with the best, Merlin. Pompey(Prem games) 35 apps, 16 goals Boro 73 apps 25 goals Everton 63 apps 23 goals Av of just better than 1 in 3 - OK but not spectacular, certainly not up with the Rooneys, Drogbas etc which was my point. He is in, at best, the second tier of Prem strikers and plays for a side from which we need to get points - certainly at SJP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 If we did sign Beye I'd like us to put it down to the fact we had to sell to balance the books, the books are now balanced, and can take him back. For a year I'd sign him, plus we'd not have to worry about him having to bed into the team, settle in the area. Etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are what the scouts & CH are looking for. A laudable policy in the main - but we also need proven players at the top level in certain positions. Being too pedantic about 'Yoof' and sell-on value will not keep us in the Prem and in any case, if they are any good we don't WANT to sell-on until they are getting towards the end...

David28 Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Just checked it on transfermarkt.de, if we were in the Premier League now we would have the youngest squad on average. (24,4 years). Arsenals' squad is 25,1 and 2nd. Quite interesting considering that a few years ago we had many players in their late 20s/early 30s. I think it's a good thing to have a squad mainly of young players as we can build a squad and probably be successful while spending little. So I hope we will only sign players who are in a good age like we've done in January and no more Beye's, Owen's or even Viduka's. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 We would have to sell at least one or two of our strikers as collectively they aren't good enough. Shola is a complete crock, even when he does play he is always carrying some sort of injury. He is our ledley king! He would be first out due to those reasons despite arguably being our best (no Leon puns) forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butt and Pancrate being released in the summer will only improve that average age too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would totally piss over the dressing room too. Think of how the likes of Nolan, Smith etc would be with him if he's essentially buggered off and refused to slum it in the Championship and then swanned back in as soon as we're back in the big league. It would frankly be an accident waiting to happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the evidence suggests to the contrary. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
