Mole_Toonfan Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Considering all the silly prices that are going around for english players..... i'd say 4m for someone who has scored goals at every level is pretty 'cheap'. Although i would'nt want him at West Ham as i dont like them According to German media..... Junior Hoilett will join Gladbach and has already had a medical. That's annoying but happy that Gladbach are signing well. Xhaka and Hoillet are great signings. They supposedly want Luuk De Jong and Mbiwa aswell, hopefully they do well in the CL next season along with BVB. If they get Hoilett, Mbiwa and De Jong I think I'll be developing a hate for that club Me too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Kuyt to Fenerbahce in a deal worth £1m. Three year contract. Disappointed in him. Considered moving back to Feyenoord, but said it was "too early in his career". Would have understood if he had gone to a good club in one of the top competitions, but Turkey!? Similar level of club and competition, so must be financially motivated.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not known for their negotiating skills. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 DJ Campbell hadn't scored 20 goals in League Two, then 24 goals in League One, then 21 goals in the Championship, then 15 goals in the Premier League. Holt's a player in form and has been for the last four seasons. If West Ham got 10+ goals out of him next year I'd say £4m was a decent signing. He had just scored 13 in the Premier League, same as Holt has from open play. That's the stat that makes both players attractive signings, not their goalscoring records in the lower leagues.

Dave Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Well we'll have to agree to disagree. DJ Campbell's season was the very definition of a purple patch, Holt has scored loads of goals in each of the last four years. I don't think it would be a bad signing at £4m.

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 @AshleyWGray Brace yourselves, I hear Obafemi Martins is looking for an English club. Rubin Kazan are prepared to let him go this summer. Surely someone will take a punt on the young lad. He never got a chance last season with Birmingham. He made a few appearances, scored the winner in the cup final, and then immediately broke his leg. Relegation ended any chance of a permanent deal. Four million pounds is a pittance in the modern British game. I cannot imagine he will be demanding absurd wages either.
