Ketsbaia Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 It's certainly a good model to imitate, although I'm sure a lot of clubs are saying that about us now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gggg Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 How are Leeds expected to gain promotion if they keep letting their better players go? By signing Matty Pattinson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest je85 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Would like to see Llorente in the Premier League, when I've seen him I've been impressed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazza ladra Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Surprised noones been in for Llorente yet. I imagine england's finest 'arry will talk a lot of crap about buying him then fail, were I a Spurs fan I'd be livid with his transfer policy atm, we've just shown how it's done, almost completely under the radar until it was pretty much done. Can't argue with that. Newcastle identify a need, identify a player, sign said player, move on. By contrast Harry goes to France saying he's going to look at Loic Remy, just as he did over 2 years ago. Obviously hasn't made his mind up yet. That said, we have got 2 more young Croatian players, a young Slovenian plus a 17 yr old keeper from Stockport County all on trial. The transfer strategy I spoke about a couple of days ago seems to be flourishing. Tottenham and Levy have nailed it. Seems like you've got a fantastic set up for youth whilst also making sure that the main team comes through as well. Considering how little time it's taken to become so good, it really is impressive. I remember when Keegan made the comment after that Chelsea game a few years back saying it was a closed shop in the top four. Just shows things can change very quickly if you have a very good model or are City and just buy whoever you want Well, I think it's a bit of perfect storm coming together. You've had the financial mismanagement at Man United and Liverpool plus Man City appearing out of nowhere like a richer, crazier Chelsea. Chelsea getting older, and not being able to turn on a dime. Put a lot of stress on the Top Four . Credit to Tottenham. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious to know what Bolton have seen to suggest he's anything other than what you say. Seems quite one footed too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious to know what Bolton have seen to suggest he's anything other than what you say. Seems quite one footed too. I've never noticed him as being particularly one-footed, but maybe he is if I looked back at his goals. He's a decent finisher, and a hard worker, but he's slow, of mediocre strength, and by no means technically superb. He gets by in the MLS through his hard work and half decent finishing ability, it won't be enough for the Prem. Hopefully it's just a loan... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 If Leeds are selling, wouldn't mind seeing Snodgrass coming here offering some competition out on the right. Too greedy? Fair enough. CB cover it is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Would like to see Llorente in the Premier League, when I've seen him I've been impressed. I hope he stays where he is. Athletic are starting to get something cool going and it would be a massive loss for them. His contract situation makes me fear the worst, though.
