Guest Chubby Jason Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 "We finalised that deal at about 3 o'clock." So why did you drag it on all night? tbf, it was Liverpool's deal to announce, not ours. Why would Liverpool wait hours before announcing it then?

AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 I hate the concept of buying players with high resale value. I mean obviously getting good players is what we all want but we should want them playing for us, not sold off because other clubs want them and are willing to pay big money. A potentially high resale value should be a by-product of having a good team and nothing more. When Shearer was banging the goals in for us, we enjoyed the fact he was banging the goals in for us, not the fact he had a high resale value. I agree if the resale value is the reason for buying them, but if it's more a side effect of buying younger players with more potential then I'm all for it. I'm not listening to the interview BTW.

I'm sure the whole David Craig reading a script about bids turned down and then a transfer request carry on was going on into the evening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Venkman Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 why pay lots for good players when you can pay much less for loads of scouts and only buy a fraction of what they recommend Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 I dont think we should be looking at too many Championship players, but its good to hear the club has plenty of scouts out around Europe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the whole David Craig reading a script about bids turned down and then a transfer request carry on was going on into the evening. And like I said about N'Zogbia 'bids', I highly doubt it was live updates - We rejected a Liverpool bid before one advert break and as soon as SSN came back, Carroll had handed in a transfer request The David Craig stuff was mid-afternoon - 2ish(?)

Zero Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 "One or two players in in the summer" ... To be fair it's meaningless. saying something like "we will bring in 5 stars" now does no good to our team. Just let time tells. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, possibly, the Gosling deal was definitely a bit of opportunism but I hope it was as much about getting a promising young player cheap as it was about resale. If another club had pounced to get him we would have been saying it should have been us. The Ben Arfa deal was so immense that I don't actually care about the reason! Let's hope we don't sell him to Real Madrid for £30m until he's ripped the league up for us for a while. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I thought he was correct re: Stoke. We dealt with Stoke's long throws and set plays fine. It was general mistakes cost us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JH Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Says Ashley is being overly-cautious in transfer dealings as he's been "taken for a ride in the past from players, clubs and agents" and doesn't want to again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
