Guest Heneage Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Tbf that is a lot of money for a left back coming off a bad season Agree with this. However, my boundless naivety will now have me hoping that we'll have Pieters and Santon in the squad by Thursday, given that wor Erik is still gagging to come here and we could probably get BOTH for the amount Cissokho would have cost. 2-for-1 deal man, Ashley loves that s***!! I do realise the Dutch lad is now apparently "not for sale", but we might just up the offer by 100,000 Sports Direct mugs and seal the deal. Was Pieters gagging to come? He seemed a little melancholy by it all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At any decent club with ambitious owners, we'd have both on planes first thing tomorrow morning. There's more chance of us winning the cup than there is of us raising our offer for Pieters So one could warm the bench? We only play with one fullback like? They're both left backs.

Rich Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 If we aren't spending on a striker (and I refuse to believe that to be the case just yet), what would be the harm in improving another area of the squad for less overall outlay? I know people will think I'm crackers given the way we've looked up top so far, but I could forgive Macheda on loan if we actually brought in Pieters and Santon, for example. However, as I've said elsewhere if it does turn out to be Macheda and Santon and no bugger else then it's an absolute disgrace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought last year's top from Sports Direct's website but the daft fuckers sent me an extra large. I took it back and got my money back. I kept the free Sports Direct mug that they sent me though. I am up on the deal and it feels good. I laugh about it now but Ashley's probably noticed the missing mug and this summer could well be my fault. So I'm sorry lads.

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Just a guess here, but I believe that 15 million would be more than any other team in the Premiership paid for their current left back. Mad price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 I think City have a full back that cost about £17m?Kolarov? But yeah, it's silly money, especially on one who has underperformed recently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much prefer sticking to a set value in mind, rather than Freddy Shepard's way of giving them whatever they ask for +£5m. I mean, this isn't so much aimed at you, but I get the impression people won't be happy unless Ashley does a good old fashioned 'Trophy Signing'.

I just want two geet massive (well, six-foot plus) fullbacks who can contribute a bit going forwards while not being totally devoid of defensive ability.

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 I cannot think of any 6'2 plus fullbacks. I don't think there is even one non-keeper in our squad currently that is above 6'2.

I just want a striker who can score a shit load of goals and not some 16 year old Jonny Foreigner who has scored 2 goals in 70 appearances and "plays brilliantly off the striker".
