ponsaelius Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Rosenborg have yet to recieve bids for Annan. The papers over here reckon a bid around 3-4 million pounds will see him leave. I really hope Hughton at least makes an enquiry. I'd love it if we went for him. £3-4 million is a bargain. This. He'd add SO much to our midfield it's unreal. His physicality and dynamism could literally be the difference between relegation and stating up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that it appears Rosenberg haven't had any bids is a good thing for us and any potential bid. We should stick a £3m offer on the table as, despite the 'no capital outlay' speech I think we can comfortably afford that, especially considering sell on potential and profitability.

I just think it's inevitable that we won't move for him and he'll end up at some German club who pay £2.5m for him. I'd have loved us to have had a punt on Jong Tae-Se especially at the price he moved for. We live in hope. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 After all the talk of Annan on this board I did keep a close eye on him during the world cup and was very impressed. Apart from being typically dynamic and athletic, what impressed me most was his intelligent use of the ball. Keeps it simple and does very well playing short forward passes to ignite the teams forward play. Really liked him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaizero Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 No way in hell Rosenborg would sell Annan for £3m. No way in hell, that's as nonsensical as them wanting £10m. They'll be wanting £5-6m no doubt based on his good WC, and they have no financial issues which would force them to sell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Gai Assulin, 19 year old attacking midfielder/winger released by Barcelona. A potential future investment in the Gosling mould? Thoughts on him VI? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Assulin was a great prospect two years ago, but has had a couple bad seasons and to be honest when I have watched him he's been pants. Lots of trickery but no end product and always running into blind alleys. Surprised he doesn't have a team though. Arsenal, Chelsea, even Madrid... were sniffing around him a year ago. Maybe he's waiting for a big club offer that probably won't arrive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I guessed he'd 'done a Dos Santos' in that sense. Just thought on a free he might be worth a gamble in terms of reviving a career. Can't be demanding high wages surely. Wigan turned A. Valencia from a Villareal reject into an £18 million player, it's the kind of model we should be following. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 I haven't seen him play, but apparently has had an incredible season with Villarreal B, and has been one of the top players of that division.

They'll be wanting £5-6m no doubt based on his good WC, and they have no financial issues which would force them to sell. Annan's contract runs to december 2011. Rosenborg would never risk letting him go for nothing, and will look to cash in as soon as possible. If Rosenborg fail to start a bidding war, Hughton is in with a serious shout if he makes a £4m-offer. Rosenborg need to get £1,5-2m from player sales in 2010, and when no one bids significant money for Demidov they may need to let Annan go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
