Froggy Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 And before froggy asks about Thiago, we return to training next Monday, so widely expected to be resolved during this week. There's no formal offer from ManU but it is understood that they'll just agree a contract with Thiago and then pay up the clause. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trumpet Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Mario Gomez to Fiorentina for 16M + 4 bonuses (Euros). Unbelievably good deal for Fio. Gomez will score 20+ league goals....can't understand why Gomez insisted on Fiorentina instead of CL offering Napoli. Must be the wages offered...

Disco Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 He'd be an absolute mug to move there. He broke in to the England squad at Norwich last season, why regress to playing dead rubber CL games and domestic cup competitions knowing you'll never be #1 as Courtois will come back if needed next season.

loki679 Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 This trend of the money clubs just buying loads of decent young players and pretty much leaving them to rot is getting annoying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

1878 Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 The same John Ruddy that Moyes & Chris Woods thought wasn't on the same level as Iain Turner. Good luck David De Gea Anyway, this happened: Kone That kit :anguish: That badge :anguish: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 This trend of the money clubs just buying loads of decent young players and pretty much leaving them to rot is getting annoying. They don't want Ruddy because they think he might become the next great keeper, they just recognise that they need a few English to meet all the various home-grown rules, and 2nd choice goalkeepers are prime candidates for such positions. Ross Turnbull, Stuart Taylor, etc etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross Turnbull, Stuart Taylor, etc etc. The point is he could go somewhere and get games but instead they'll flash the cash at him, stick him on the bench at best and it's just another potentially decent player who's lost a couple of years of his development.

1878 Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Kone Solid signing for yous, no? He's an ok player but it's a terrible signing financially. We can't afford to sink £5m on a 30 year old and not see a penny of the fee back. Heard he's going to be on 40/50k a week too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And should be able to attract higher quality players. Oh yeah, better off than Wigan obviously. And also benefiting from the massive PL TV deal now. But overall they have been very careful with money for a long time now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
