mattypnufc Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 If we are ever linked with buying a Keeper, it has to be absolute shite tbh. The only position we have with any strength in depth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocho Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 "United could also land Chelsea’s England Under-21 striker Daniel Sturridge, although the £10m needed to sign him has put an end to negotiations for the time being" £10m? f***ing hell, get him signed you cheap b******. That price is not accurate i assume. He must be on quite a bit at Chelsea too. I doubt we could afford his wages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leazes1986 Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 I think its clear the Journal don't really know exactly what is going on. They probably do know there is an interest in N'Zogbia and Sturridge, but thats probably all they do know. They have definitely got some names right this summer, but whether players signed or not, they havent got the details right really. They definitely seem to know something about targets/sales but I don't think they know what is going on in detail. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until we get some clarification from Edwards (I guess a few of us has asked him already), I'd say there is reason enough to assume it's right.

mrmojorisin75 Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 fucking Sturridge for 10m could be huh? chelsea are that fucking crackers imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leazes1986 Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 The thing is if the quoted prices were right then I think the £22m in total would be very well spent to bring them both here, they would complete our front 6 and make us a potentially outstanding attacking force. No way do I believe that price on Sturridge like. If the prices are true though then I would definitely question whether there is much over £20m to spend because if the full Carroll money was available then surely they would go out and pay that money then it'd leave them with some money left over to strengthen the squad a bit. If theres not over £20m left to spend though then it would be understandable that we aren't spending the rest of our money on 2 players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jonnyameobi Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Dunno if this qualifies for this thread, but my pals been talking to Michael Carrick in a service station, just got back off hols and weve enquired about him...... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Swift Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Sturridge for 10m would be the signing of the year, wouldn't it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 The 10m quoted for Sturridge does make you question the credibility of the of the Journal. To be fair if we're signing players like Cayabe for 4.5m and bringing in the likes of Merveux and Ba on frees then there's no excuses for not shelling out on strikers or atleast one top striker with the Carroll cash that they have. 10-12m for a striker shouldn't be an issue.

Dave Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 It wouldn't happen, if only because at that price Bolton and others would be in for him and the price would go up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 get in there now with a year loan plus a view to transfer at the end of next season - can't imagine why we wouldn't have done that already tbh suppose we might have EDIT: meant to say fix the fee now, 15m plus 5m add ons or something Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanSkÃrare Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 I'd pay up to about £15m for Sturridge. He's done at least as much as Carroll, fee would be justified in the current climate. Exactly what we need, plus I'd like us to sign at least one English player. We've got loads of money from the Carroll sale, spend them on a striker rather than Matuidi.

Guest axel Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Falcao also rumoured to join Chelsea if Villas-Boas becomes the manager. Hopefully that will happen and Sturridge will be availiable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leazes1986 Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Its the pace which would be key for me as well. Imagine the pace, power and athleticism of N'Zogbia, Tiote, Ben Arfa, Marveaux (lead to believe he's fast), Sturridge and Demba Ba. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Sturridge would seem to be an amazing signing, at £10m or even 15 it has to be good value. He's shown what he can do in the Premier League, and will be keen for first-team football. Chelsea should just play him, but I guess they'll buy another couple of overpriced superstars and he'll still be well down the pecking order. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Think it's safe to say that if we do make a serious bid for Sturridge, it wont be at this stage of the transfer window. Hope we test Chelea's resolve in August. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 I just can't see us paying that much for anyone. I'm not so sure. I see why you might think that, but I reckon Pards might be able to convince the club to loosen the purse strings for one big-ish signing if we're making savings elsewhere. Possibly wishful thinking, we'll see! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest SuperShola! Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 So far, we've sold Nolan for 4Mill and signed Cabaye for 4.5Mill. Marveaux and Ba both signed on a free, aye? If so, this means we still have 34.5Mill? Or, would some of that been used on wages? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
