Dinho lad Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 The concept of Carr unearthing Ben Arfa is one of the funniest ongoing trends on here. Maybe Sifu is Shearer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Really hoping we miss out on this guy, the frenchies say he is shite, and there are photos of him brandishing handguns. Usual story of people overrating foreign players. I really wish you'd piss off going on about that. Alternatively Erdinc shoots you in the face, that would be an acceptable alternative. :mackems: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Erding is a decent player and more importantly a vast improvement on our current options. Even during his goal draught he gave it his all, I'd have him here for eight million euros no bother. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Everything I've read from people that watch French football regularly suggests he isn't cut out to play as the focal point of an attack anyway so our continued interest is a bit odd IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure I've read that he can play on the right as well. Would tie in with our supposed pursuit of gervihno and zog as they all seem to play the same "right forward" role as well.

Ronaldo Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Erding is a decent player and more importantly a vast improvement on our current options. Even during his goal draught he gave it his all, I'd have him here for eight million euros no bother. Everything i've heard about this guys leads me to believe we should persist with Best. He sounds like the type that would probably take 25 games to get 6 league goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 I don't think we're interested in him at all tbh (might have mentioned it before) Pardew lying outright (again) then? Might be (for the better?) It's just odd, why would he tell the media that he's one of those we're after and all that, just makes no sense at all considering our "out of the blue" signings lately.

True, not really liking this lack of back to goal strikers we've been linked with. Think it is something we'll badly need next season, don't have it at the minute either unless you class Shola as an option which frankly I'd prefer not too.

Personally think there's 2 more strikers in this summer. You're right though, need a link up man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Erdinc is an improvement on what we have (except Ba) but still think we can do better. If we've spent all this time looking for strikers, you'd like to think we have better options. Certainly wouldn't be gutted to miss out on him.
