AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 £12 million's not really an insane amount any more though, I would up for taking a chance if he's athletic, quick and sharp. We sadly lack that up front. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Brazilianbob Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Gameiro and Gervinho would look good on the team sheet in my book. Both available for around £22m in total. If Jose goes to Inter for £12m we can play Ferguson at left back, or maybe bring in Van Aanholt from Chelsea. Either way we will still have a healthy bank balance to spend on a winger and or a creative midfield player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punk77 Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 heard we have had a 12m bid ACCEPTED for lorient striker gameiro. I dunno if I'm keen to use so much money on one players. We've failed miserably on our big transfers earlier, and if Gameiro doesn't deliver, we've probably used half of Carroll's money (including salary) on one player. But if he on the other hand bags 20 goals a season, 12 mill is peanuts.. I'd rather buy a good quality striker for 12 million than 4 strikers for 3 mio each. Of course, but the price we paid for HBA and Tiote shows that there need not to be a connection between price and quality. The fact that he does well in France, doesn't mean that he will do well in PL. £12 million's not really an insane amount any more though, I would up for taking a chance if he's athletic, quick and sharp. We sadly lack that up front. I've already pointed out that £12 isn't a lot of money IF he delivers. But it's a lot of money if he flops Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Yep, obviously £12m is a lot if he flops, but then so is 5 or 6 really. Every signing is a risk, I've never seen him play so I can't really comment on whether he's worth it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Gameiro looks a happy chappy from the Google image results, always grinning away. Might mean he has the famous character that we're looking for in a player. Probably doesn't mean anything mind! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiquidAK Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Would be delighted if we got Gaimero for £12m. Not that it will happen, but it would be worth the cash. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtype Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Lee Chung-Yong has dropped out of favor for Bolton since Sturridge came in and Elmander moved to the right. Come on, let's do this Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punk77 Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Lee Chung-Yong has dropped out of favor for Bolton since Sturridge came in and Elmander moved to the right. Come on, let's do this Agree. Yong was excellent previous season. His crossers are sublime. Find it strange that Bolton choose to play with a player that has not signed a new contract instead of a hot prospect.

ponsaelius Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 I think LCY is spending time on the bench recently because he's spent nigh on the last 2 years playing solidly for club and country, they're giving him a bit of a break. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 It is very easy to pick out all of these foreign players and expect them to slot in and do perfectly but I think we should be careful as we have paid in the past for making that mistake. We should be looking to get Gervinho or Gameiro not both, and fill out the other gaps with either proven premier league talent, or some squad places with younger unproven foreign players.

Ronaldo Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Yeah, because and Tiote and Ben Arfa equated to one too many. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
