QBG Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Deportivo would indeed fleece the hell out of you (again) but he would be a massive improvement over Jonás, massive. Just worried about his fitness. Deportivo would indeed fleece the hell out of you (again) but he would be a massive improvement over Jonás, massive. Just worried about his fitness. does seem to be a position we sre targetting if the merveaux and n'zogbia rumours were true. Despite Jonas' very good performance on Tuesday, I think we all know that we still need to improve that position. I'd love Guardado, don't know much about Marveaux but I'd have N'Zogbia back, if Wigan go down I reckon we'll get him. as left back ? Was it Roeder who tried that?

Ronaldo Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Colo has turned out to be a bargain. Xisco and Luque less so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frazzle Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 I dunno about bargain (considering Man U paid around £7m for Vidic) but he's living up to his price tag. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Deportivo would indeed fleece the hell out of you (again) but he would be a massive improvement over Jonás, massive. Just worried about his fitness. I'd prefer Piatti, whenever i've seen him he's looked pretty decent if a bit small. How's he doing at Almeria? He was another one of those that fell under the 'next Maradona' category iirc. I love him, talented and with a very good work rate. Almería won't sell cheap unless they get relegated, though.

Ikon Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 isn't Diego Perotti as good with his right foot as his left? Not seen much of him tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 He is right-footed, but has a decent left foot too (not at all two footed though). Plays on the left or in the hole for Sevilla. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 He is right-footed, but has a decent left foot too (not at all two footed though). Plays on the left or in the hole for Sevilla.

And yes Perotti's form hasn't continued and Rakitic's purchase might open up the door for him to leave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Not that CB is the highest priority but i wonder how much Douglas from Twente would cost, A fair wedge I'd have thought, might struggle for a work permit at the moment. Could do with him getting the Dutch citizenship he is applying for. Bryan Ruiz would be a canny buy from Twente too although he'd cost £15m+ I'd thought though. Luuk De Jong is supposed to be a hot talent too. Only 20. In fact there is loads of decent players in the Eredivisie and with most clubs not in the best of shape financially at the moment in Holland it could be a good time to go shopping. Pretty much guaranteed good technique and an ability to cope with the pace of the Premiership usually. Fits the buy em young, sell em on policy too for most players. AZ, Ajax and PSV are all supposed to be in need of cash so why not go for a few of their players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Not that CB is the highest priority but i wonder how much Douglas from Twente would cost, Debatable imo. I like Williamson, but if we're looking at making a genuine fist at the Top 6 next year - a new centre-back is second only to the obvious striker upgrade this summer. Obviously, there are bargains out there as we've proven with Tiote, but I'd happily see us spend double figures on a genuinely top class partner for Coloccini. Although he probably doesn't fit that description yet, I think Cahill would be a good signing. I wouldn't be sad to see Taylor go either (providing we didn't leave ourselves short), not one bit. Just a mediocre defender who's ridiculously injury prone. On the subject of centre-back, i hope Kadar is regarded as a member of the squad next year. The guy's got a heck of a lot of talent. I've yet to see him have a bad game for the club. I'd be more than satisfied going from: Coloccini/Williamson/Taylor/Campbell to: Coloccini/New Guy/Williamson/Kadar Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frazzle Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 If you're gonna replace Taylor because he's injury prone, I wouldn't do it with Kadar. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Is he that injury prone? I know he had one bad injury whilst playing for the reserves - but has he had trouble properly overcoming that? Genuine question btw. I wouldn't be having him as a permanent fixture in the first team, it'd just be nice to see him get a game now and again. He was mroe than up to it in the Championship.

Agreed, Kadar and Vuckic seem worringly injury prone already Kadar also seemed to pile it on in the summer which isn't promising for someone his age, even I was slim at that age Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
