Guest Shaun Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Because the last time we signed a non-English-speaking foreign midfielder with no Premiership experience who had been on the fringes of his team in a second-tier European League he turned out to be horrible! because everyone is cheik tiote.

You're right. How could I forget that every other signing we've made from abroad has failed miserably. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right. How could I forget that every other signing we've made from abroad has failed miserably. Like those flops Enrique and Coloccini? Actually frustrating as hell though he is even Jonas didn't look so bad after watching us attempt to play football without him against Stevenage.

Hanshithispantz Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Instead of wasting our time/money on players like Ziani and Larsson, we should go for a striker with pace. we may do that also, but if you use some sommon sense you'll see we need extra boddies in pretty much every posision on the park, bar in goal.

Guest Shaun Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 where do i say foreign players are flops? just saying i'd rather the club spent money on a player who can actually cross the ball. rather than on a player who is an older version of routledge.

Optimistic Nut Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 http://www.competition.dz/Actualite/-Ziani-:-Wolfsburg-fait-une-concession-d’1M€ Update this morning, Wolfsburg have lowered the asking price by €1m (they reckon €5m inc that weird €2m bonus if we get into Europe) which will speeden up any transfer.

Optimistic Nut Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Either have I. Just seem very specific with what they're saying in terms of meeting dates, fees, etc which goes against what general rumours simply do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OoOGazOoO Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Very specific details within that article. I like the fact they have lowered their asking price too, what a great club! The other nice thing is that he seems quite keen to come and play for us, and to play in the Premier League, which helps. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously he would love to go to the Premier League tho. He sits on the bench for Wolfs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
