Cajun Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Tiote goes and we spend the money on Samba, Cissokho, a striker and a tiote replacement. Is anyone happy with that? Depends on the Tiote replacement. We SHOULD be able to get those players in anyway so no probably not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chubby Jason Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Tiote goes and we spend the money on Samba, Cissokho, a striker and a tiote replacement. Is anyone happy with that? No. Selling Carroll and renaming the stadium are two hideous trade offs that should have resulted in more players coming in. We shouldn't need to sell another to fund further signings.

Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 No way would Samba happen, like! He and Colo with Krul behind them would actually be impenetrable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chubby Jason Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 If Big Sam was still here signing Samba would solve both our centre back and striker problems in one fell swoop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Would it be ridiculous to suggest it would be the best centre back partnership in the league? I was trying to think of good centre back pairings in the league yesterday and it seems a lot these days are either very raw or brilliant defenders who are starting to let age catch up with them a bit. Actually just remembered City so forgot the best but still well up there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Dont even wanna dream about it what a good back four we potentially could have if we sign Cissokho and Samba. Wow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Could you imagine a defensive spine consisting of Krul, Samba, Coloccini and Tiote? It's a shame we'll start to sell some of them because there are times where we look to have the opportunity to really push on and build a hugely competitive team.

Disco Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Didn't Samba just sign a new contract? Best start some scurrilous rumours to start unsettling him and get him on strike. Blackburn selling him would pretty indicate their intention to go down n all. Would be madness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackburn selling him would pretty indicate their intention to go down n all. Would be madness. If they're fucked financially and nobody wants to buy chicken they'll have to sell him. The owners seem the type that would be impressed by Alan Smith's superstar appearance, so maybe we could swap him off in the process. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually just remembered City so forgot the best but still well up there I reckon you were right the first time. Lescott's improved a lot over the last year but I'd still take Colo over him any day of the week. As for a partner for Colo, Samba would be a lot more suited to him in my opinion. As a partnership at CB it would be incredible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Samba would be a great signing until it became clear he was Colo's replacement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Shaun Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Zaha only just signed a new 5-year contract a few days ago. Nathaniel Clyne's contract is up in the summer, but I've read Man Utd are after him so... :'( And where would he end up playing first team football? If's he's not after the money! Clyne would go straight into the Man Utd first team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Samba would be a great signing until it became clear he was Colo's replacement. Be an odd replacement if so. They couldn't be more different types of defender. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JH Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Samba would be an excellent addition. With a zero percent chance of it ever happening. Even if we were willing to match his asking price. A bigger club will come in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54 Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 We could have a potential top 4 team if we get some of the players that are stated in the article, our team could potentially be. Krul Santon Samba Colo Cissokho Ben Arfa Tiote Cabaye Jonas Ba Sow That is a team that could beat most teams in the league. Edit: I think Sow would be a much better signing then Maiga.

Disco Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Samba, Sow and Cissokho I'd be surprised at spending that even we sold £20m worth of talent given our recent history in the transfer windows. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
