toon25 Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Pleased with this if true. Can this guy play in the centre as well? What sort of player is he? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toon25 Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Pleased with this if true. Can this guy play in the centre as well? What sort of player is he? Not really a central player I don't think. Right footed winger, pretty quick, and can play either on the right or left. Good free kick on him too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Would be bizarre if we signed Rob Green, doesn't make any sense at all. Would be criminal to interrupt Krul's development at this stage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToonTastic Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Depends I guess what the thought is. It could be they are getting shot of Harper as has been suggested (part of the "group" in the club), letting Foster or Krul go on loan meaning they need an experienced goalkeeper to act as backup. The straight swap with Foster makes no sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 What an awful transfer that would be. Lunacy. Getting rid of another leader (I'd imagine) and senior pro in the squad would be daft too IMO. Harper is fine to sit on the bench or whatever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tisd09 Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 How would this summer be seen if we did sign a good left back, barnetta and a good forward, but losing Enrique and Barton? I think it is a gamble losing 3 influencial players like Nolan, Barton & Enrique but on paper our squad would look stronger than last season especially when you consider the return to action of Ben Arfa and Gosling. In an ideal world we would have a centre half back up but I think given how its gone so far that would be greedy? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just hope the replacements happen - which i think they will. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishmael Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 It is a bit premature to change the title on the basis of 1 story, which doesn't even have quotes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Signing a good forward seems totally beyond us at this point in time. Have to admit I have no idea if a striker might be coming and who the hell it might be. Long seemed a decent option but the Journal seem to think we aren't interested.

adam1 Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 I'm a bit skeptical about this one like. There's no direct quotes from anyone in that article and it seems to have come straight off the back of this thread. Mebbies I'm just a paranoid mess after this past week.

TRon Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Barnetta could be seen as a replacement for Routledge rather than Barton if we are to take the view that Barton might still be here come the start of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tisd09 Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 I just can't think of a forward that would fall in to our remit to be honest. I'm hoping we are holding out for a loan deal for Sturridge but I think thats very wishful thinking. If reports are true that Villa-Boas does want Pato then it could open the door as they will have 3 marquee forwards in Torres, Drogba and Pato. Kalou & Anelka were reported to be leaving in the Pato deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Signing a good forward seems totally beyond us at this point in time. Yep, the only hope I have of a forward, is a loan. Really can't think of anyone who fits our bill though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In an ideal world we would have a centre half back up but I think given how its gone so far that would be greedy? this summer would be seen as a gamble,involving mimimal expenditure I'm assuming that a new left back, Barnetta and striker would cost a bit more than agent fee's and tarmac mind. But given what we've had in from Carroll, Nolan & Enrique (probable) then expenditure would be minimal. Any transfers are a gamble but replacing very experienced and influencial players like Nolan, Enrique & Barton makes it even more of a gamble. A lot of us wanted to see Nolan out of the team anyway, the Enrique seemed adamant for a move after selling Carroll and regardless of blame it seems it would be a bad idea now to keep Barton, IMO that situation has gone past the point of return regardless of who's fault it is. So it seems like its a gamble we needed to take? I don't know maybe I am a glass half full person and looking at the situation with black & white tinted glasses on?
