LRD Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Man City will rather sell at a loss/send their players on loan to the lower/other divisions than sell them to a title rival so it's pretty much a non-starter for any player of substance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leffe186 Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Malachians Philip Brown Just been told by a source at Tottenham that they have signed Brad Friedel, it will be announced next week I think he is a journo in America, I don't care about my proposed twitter law when it comes to other clubs transfers btw... Brummie doesn't seem to rate him much but i'd be very happy. I really wouldn't be, just wouldn't see the point. Friedel has pretty much gone now, as Brummie says. He's not better than Gomes so shouldn't be first choice, we already have Cudicini in the "experienced back-up" role and I'd rather have a young keeper as the number 3. Plus, he's not homegrown (unless I'm very much mistaken). The only decent reason I see for him coming in would be if we are looking to sell Gomes and bring in, say, Foster. He might then be useful if we're rotating keepers e.g. for the Europa. Unless 'arry wants him for our collection of unconvincing ex-pros being groomed as coaches.

Exactly. No way in hell would they sell Johnson to Arsenal (altough i do actually think they'll sell us Adebayor now). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well he is better than Gomes imo simply because he's consistent. Gomes is a mentally unstable human being so naturally he's unreliable. I prefer consistency over hollywood rexlexes followed by mad decision #767764575. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way is up for them and somehow i doubt very much they see us as rivals anymore which works in our favour. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest kingdawson Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Just the dig really, was a bit "I am considerably richer than yow!". Well being that United and Chelsea are not really rivals anymore i guess they have to be content with City as their new rivals. Ours is now probably Liverpool but we'll see what next season brings.

Optimistic Nut Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 I think you're right unfortunately. Only way for you or Liverpool to finish 4th now imo is if either Arsenal or Chelsea go backwards this summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 It's all a bit... meh, isn't it? I look at our chances of doing anything next season and the most we can realistically hope for is catching Spurs, and I'd hardly call that likely. Bit depressing when there's a pretty clear limit to what you can do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They certainly wont be in the bottom half. They have a big squad with quality players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Europe at all imo, i think there will be big changes with them this summer, possibly even Harry going too along with a few players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Spurs have a partnership with Internacional which may work in their advantage. http://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/news/articles/tottenhamhotspurfootballclubandsportclubinternacionalannouncestrategicpartnership.html Might struggle for a work permit though unless he can magic up a EU grandparent.

Tor-Kristian Karlsen: leandro damiao (my opinion): great work ethics, tracks back, creates space, always has to play at 100% of his ability to make a difference as he's more about effort than skill or technique (average). Good size, pace is "ok" for a cfwd (especially when he gets into his stride). Has recently polished his finishing skills (scoring for fun in the state league), aggressive... still raw, needs to develop overall game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
