LooneyToonArmy Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 Tottenham and Newcastle United have made offers to Sporting Lisbon for young attacker Yannick Djalo. O Jogo says both Premiership clubs had bids for the youngster rejected by Sporting this week. Everton are also keen on Djalo, who impressed David Moyes in European action last season, but are yet to make a concrete bid. Spurs and Newcastle have been encouraged to try again for Djalo, with president José Eduardo Bettencourt and sports director Costinha admitting they need to sell to reduce club debts.

Suprised they have big debts, always selling players for a mint. Nani, Ronaldo, Moutinho and Hughie V off the top of my head. Not that he'd move but Mati Fernandez would be a dream signing.

Benfica have spent more, but they've also started selling players on in the style of Porto. (See Di Maria to Madrid.) Porto for me will take it this year. The 3 months without Hulk really did them over, Benfica weren't really anything special. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 Am I the only one who hasn't got a clue about Gosling's actual ability as a footballer? Nope. I have no idea what type of player he is other than from comments on here. From what I've seen he's nothing special, I reckon Barton and Guthrie are better anyone that's fit is better than barton, he's played less than 25% of games at this club Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can stay fit, and get through a full pre-season, it'll be "like having a new signing"!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 One thing that's particularly disappointing for me: As a relatively unattractive Premiership team, surely the best way out of our predicament is to expand our scouting network and sign players from lesser-known leagues across Europe and even the world who would jump at the chance to play for ANY Premiership club. (AKA "the Wigan model") We've seen absolutely none of that under Ashley. When is the last time we made a single signing from outside the six major European leagues? Despite all the song and dance about expanding our scouting network, we remain terribly myopic as far as finding hidden talent goes. I know this is easier said than done, but you have to be disappointed that we're not even trying. (At least at the senior level) Agree with all of that entirely.

Guest Heneage Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 My problem with Oldtypes suggestion is, how do we know these places hold the talent? Of course places like Honduras have produced the likes of Suazo, Palacios, and Figueroa, but that's 3 players of how many? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course places like Honduras have produced the likes of Suazo, Palacios, and Figueroa, but that's 3 players of how many? Guess the old saying 'if you don't buy a ticket you wont win the raffle' could apply to that. I agree with oldtype, though. It seems that this idea/fantasy of Ashley's has collapsed since we got relegated. As someone said, it would cost money to do that and considering he obviously doesn't want to hang around here why should he bother? Loanies and freebies will keep us happy for the moment, sure....

Guest Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 And then when you buy the ticket and are nowhere near winning said raffle, the manager, scouting network and chairman get hammered for making a shit signing. Look what happened when we got Nacho to improve relations with an agent to curry favour in order to help get players from that region in the future? Got slated for it.

Colocho Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 Gosling would be a good signing although we can do without him.. Still, I think we're getting him. The way he forced his way out of Everton is similar to how we acquired Jonas.. we've tapped him up. You think we are the favourites to sign him?

This is the problem though, we have sections of the fans who are very naive, and think Football is just Premier Manger 98 on the Playstation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look what happened when we got Nacho to improve relations with an agent to curry favour in order to help get players from that region in the future? Got slated for it. A comment on your signature: Are we better off getting players like Jermaine Beckford who remind you of players you saw when you were 9? Perhaps not. I saw Coley play for Bristol City at Ashton Gate against us in the 92/93 season, can't remember precisely when it was but prob xmas time ish. He was the only fella tomake Robert Lee work as a fullback for an entire game. Pulled our centre halves all over the place and his pace and movement were outstanding. The players in that side were a very capable bunch too. Those types of signing are few and far between. We have rarely made another since. We probably do have a scouting network that looks at those leagues. We may well have contacts in several places we have no idea exist. The point is though that so do several hundred other clubs of which many are quite prepared to take that risk. It either makes you look 'in the know' or like a complete tit. Ashley does the latter well enough without giving people more ammunition. Younger forum members may not realise how eagerly people clung to Tony Green or Paul Gascoigne in the past. It was because there was very little chance of seeing the likes of them again in a black and white shirt. In the case of the latter, I havent see the like of him on any pitch in England since. Post cup final was not eh Paul Gascoigne I had seen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
