Guest BooBoo Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Pressure on Marveaux to be a hit really. Very much so. Huge gamble too considering he's not kicked a ball since last November. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 N'Zogbia would have been nice, but we've still got Jonas, Marveaux, Ferguson, Ben Arfa & Barton who can play the same positions N'Zogbia would have done. Main thing is, and always was after getting Marveaux, is a striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledGeordie Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 10m bid from Villa. I think it's pretty obvious behind all the waffle about signing on fees and agent fees that the board were never going to splash out properly this window and are doing things on the cheap. Frustrating because we're in a really good position to push on properly. If we don't get another really quality striker in don't cover Enrique fully when the inevitable finally happens it will have been a disappointing window given the funds that were available.

Main thing is, and always was after getting Marveaux, is a striker. Agreed. Although it would have been nice to see the Zog in black and white again, there's other positions that need to be strengthened first. If £13-14 mill could tempt Chelsea to depart with Sturridge. I'd rather see that happening than than us using £9 mill on Zog and a similar, or probably less sum on a striker. Not that I believe Chelsea will sell him for that price, but the owner is an unstable fuck who's capable of doing strange things .Sturridge and that dude from Crystal Palace would have been great Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Even though it would be amazing I think there's more chance of me waking up with a full head of hair again than us making any attempts at Sturridge. No chance with the transfer fee and potential wages, that's just the way it's going to be this board for the time being atleast. Defo agree that other areas such as striker and defence are possibly more important than midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football fans are funny, really. If you read our forums, our lot are slashing their wrists over transfers in the same way you are, except a lot of them see you as having done good business this summer. Transfer windows really do bring out all the paranoias we have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nobby_solano Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 I wouldn't count on it. Couple of false bids on deadline day, £10 for kaka, £3.50 for rooney, 'hey, at least we tried!' Then it's whatever unfit, not had a pre-season and likely to get injured free agents are not signed up joining on 1st of sept Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transfer windows really do bring out all the paranoias we have. Totally, we just need to relax, we've done some good business and there's probably another couple of players to come. Just looking forward to the start of the games now, so we've got something else to talk about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Every transfer window is a pit of despair and torture, everyone just needs to chill bar a couple of clubs everyone is keeping their powder dry for the inevitable final week of the window madness.

It will be nice to have the money on hand if he or a player of similar potential suddenly become available. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 I think even if Sunderland do make a bid Villa will just blow them out of the water on wages. They'll have cleared the decks with Downing, Reo-Coker, Friedel, Young etc all out whereas Sunderland's wage bill has gone up massively and they need to actively lose players.
