Dave Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Thought there was talk of him coming back on a short term deal? Not on about buying him tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Van Nistelrooj would get plenty of goals within our current setup, make no mistake. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 what? fuck off man, bartons played well this season but imo he was better in his early city days end of 'discussion' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RupertCommunicator Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Not end of discussion! I think he has been better for us now. It's just that when he was at City in those early days, he didn't have as much of a bad reputation, therefore people were more willing to praise him in the media. Nowadays, for a pundit to say anything good about JB is akin to saying that you are in league with the devil. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Barton looked like the next Gerrard when he broke through at Citeh, dictating play, scoring long range goals, never giving up and not afraid to put in a tackle. He still does that now but hasn't got the pace he had then, back then he was everywhere, box-to-box for 90mins. His stamina is still pretty good, though he's not going at it at 100mph anymore as he can't and that's why I think he was a better player in his early days than now. He's nearly had one full good season since leaving citeh, it's close, but IMO the early Barton does this Barton we have now and he'll never match that early promise which he himself destroyed with his own stupid decisions on and off the pitch.

Disco Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Rodrigo Battaglia will be a fine player. Snap him up from Huracan powers that be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtype Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 i meant ones who can run Chu-Young wouldn't last five minutes with us oldtype, he'd be hounded out before he had a chance plus, unless he's really developed recently, we don't need another striker who needs 7 chances to put one in the net This part is true. He's good at everything else though. As long as you're not relying on him to be your main goalscorer he'll net about one in three and help the team in ways too numerous to mention. Of course he can run, he's Korean man, where have you left your stereotypes! no i meant midfielders who can run fast/a lot and play football Chu-Young can run of course too i'd have Chu-Young as a secondary striker yeah for the reasons stated but it'd mean a change in style of play for us for him to succeed plus we'd need a guaranteed scorer with him as you say, which we won't get Papers saying that Bolton are after him for 6m to replace Elmander. Wouldn't be happy with two of my favorite players turning it out for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomlkier Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I reckon it's a good time to buy French players with our 35m considering their performance in the 2010 world cup. I wouldn't say no to: Gameiro, Menez, Matuidi, N'Zogbia, Bassong. It is the Arsenal model we're meant to be using after all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Bassong? Fuck that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomlkier Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Bassong? f*** that. I'd take him back, could probably get him for 6m or so considering his lack of starts / poor form this season. He's proven premiership quality and young, I reckon it'd be a smart move to bring him back. Also, no opinion on the Zog returning although he thought Newcastle was beneath him? Bassong left when we were relegated, I don't hold that against him, it takes a lot to stick with a relegated squad when you're young and ambitious.

Disco Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Any of you yankee doodles/sympathisers know anything about Michael Hoyos? Was reading a bit about him today and sounds totally decent. Playing with Veron in Argentina and playing for their u20s despite being American born/schooled. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
