Cronky Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Would not want Shane Long at all, his first touch is like a dog chasing a balloon. I actually thought he looked okay on the ball. What would concern me is that, whilst he looks a good all-rounder, I'm not sure that there's any one feature of his game that would really trouble the better Premiership defences. A definite upgrade on Lovenkrands though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incognito Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 I'd take Long for 4-5 million tbh. Useful player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toon25 Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 I'd take Long for 4-5 million tbh. Useful player. Agreed. I watch Reading fairly often and there's no doubting that Long's not a bad player at all. Hard working and certainly knows where the goal is (at Championship level ). If he were to move here I could see him becoming a little like Doyle - much endeavour but would score too few goals. £10m is a fucking ridiculous estimate. I'd say he's worth £5m - any more than that and I'd say it wouldn't be worth it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A definite upgrade on Lovenkrands though. He has a lot of pace, which is something we have been sorely lacking. I agree with what seems to be the consensus on here - I'd take him but for a more realistic £4-6 million Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenham Mag Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Would pay £3 million tops for Long. Anyway , looks like Clichy is about to sign for Man City. Let the bidding commence for Enrique between Arsenal and Liverpool. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 I like Long, i think he's got that arrogance required to make it in the premiership. Would love to see him play in a better footballing team, see how he fairs. 10m, no chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to do with the club not offering his best mate the contract he wanted, and then selling him? I personally think Barton has had enough will the blokes upstairs - he wants a fresh start somewhere else. No surprise this is being spun to make him look like a "greedy bastard".

I personally think Barton has had enough will the blokes upstairs - he wants a fresh start somewhere else. No surprise this is being spun to make him look like a "greedy bastard". That's not really spin though - that is just the truth, and as I said, Barton himself has intimated as much on Twitter with his #bosmanruling hashtag. Remember, this is also the same Joey Barton who wouldn't leave Man City until he got his £300,000 loyalty bonus - which was ultimately added to the fee we paid for him!

STM Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Na i kind of like him, not sure why. If he played for any other club, i would absolutely despise him though. I think he would stay but i don't think the club want him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 He's leaving, of course he's a greedy bastard. He's not leaving he's staying. In order to claim a bigger signing on fee from the buying club. No one should accuse him of being a greedy bastard for looking after his bank balance. That insult is reserved for Newcastle United when they do the same thing.
