ponsaelius Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 I'd far rather we got two £10m players than put all of our delicate eggs into one basket. Neither scenario's gonna happen, like. Not if that meant one of them was your boy Carlton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BooBoo Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 I'd be hugely wary of spunking the money suggested on a kid who's never played in England before. Too much of a gamble. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Yeah that kind of fee is mad like. No way I'd want us spending that on him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skirge Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 The Gooners did spunk that kind of money on a young Spanish kid before and look how that turned out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 That and Tiote's new contract would probably be all the Carroll money spent. Not a chance. exactly. Those of you pissing yourselves at the thought we might blow our wad on one striker can simmer down. Pardew's budget is limited unless there's something we haven't been told so let the lad go to Arsenal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Boqueron Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Can't see Rondon moving. He signed a 5 year deal when he joined, Malaga are rumoured to have a 50 million euro transfer budget in the summer, the new owner has just bought a huge plot of land near the airport and has said he wants to build a 60,000 seat stadium there. At the Malaga match last night the talk was that Malaga will be the Man City of Spain with the new owner planning to buy his way to challenging for Champions League place. The result last night means they're almost assured of avoiding relegation, although not quite mathametically certain which was the only stipulation for the spending spree. Oh, and Rondon pulled a hamstring. Rondon looks the part, though and i would love to see him come to us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 IIRC, the talk was that their owner is willing to invest around €50m in transfers this summer which can turn them into an EL challenging team but not really enough to bridge the gap with Valencia/Villarreal/Sevilla/Atlético just yet.

Too much of a gamble. it would beg the question, why sell carroll? The Carroll deal is done and dusted. It's a question of how we spend whatever summer budget we have and it would be madness to splash the vast majority of it on a player who's had one good season (so I understand), has never played in this country and would most likely be a fish out of water.

oldtype Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 I'd rather not sign a striker for 20 million because he'll be guaranteed to break a leg so Shola can start. It's the Ameobi rule. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ritchie Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 It's a good sign we're getting linked to him as he's a good player but I wouldn't spend that much on Rondon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaizero Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 IF Pards can get MA to go for that deal he will be hailed as a Toon legend Its either going to be an amazing summer window or a totally tragic one, no inbetween. Could easily be an inbetween summer, man. No marquee signings to make you go , just some strenghtening of the squad with decent signings making you go http://imageshack.us/m/854/9361/everythingwentbettertha.png Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnypd Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 if we're signing 3 forwards in the summer (and ideally we should be as it would let us get rid of Loven and pack Ranger off to League 1) then i'd take someone like Graham. Otherwise no. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
