Rich Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Is he the big lad who scored past us? Aye he has been terrible every time i have seen him. Sure someone on here who watches a lot said hes far worse than Shola Hatem Garrincha. Not someone I'd put a great deal of stock in opinion-wise personally. Not saying Diabate isn't a cart-horse in terms of style, but he's certainly "realistic" and has proven to be effective in what he does. There aren't many other budget Carroll types around. Interestingly has a better record than his compatriot Maiga did when we all but signed him, although is a very different type of player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean but he fits our stamp to a tee and honestly I've seen Bordeaux about a dozen times this season, they've typically been far better with him than without.

Isnt Bellion the alternative though when hes not playing? Can see what you mean but i still have hope we arent going down that route(given the reports we arent after Carroll now) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Aye it's safe to say since Gouffran left they've been somewhat light up top! It's been a little fella called Diego Rolan deputising when I've seen them typically, Uruguayan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TherealnorthernTOON Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 We need more players who's best without the ball, not can openers. Marveaux, HBA, Cabaye, even Sissoko seems more comfortable when carrying then doing the runs themself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 guardian reckon all these could be on the way out of citeh: Costel Pantilimon, Joleon Lescott, Gareth Barry, Carlos Tevez, Roque Santa Cruz, Scott Sinclair, John Guidetti, Maicon, Edin Dzeko we'd be stupid not top punt in for Guidetti surely?

BillClinton Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Would love Guidetti based on what I've seen from him (as long as we get someone proven too). Didn't someone on here say he had a terrible attitude or something like that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Not realistic but i would have liked Dzeko, still think he could have done much better if he had got a long run of games and be the main man. Would be a very good signing for Dortmund. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't someone on here say he had a terrible attitude or something like that? Its the other way around. Guidetti is known for his fantastic attitude. He has had a very strange injury for a whole season. He ate bad chicken and bacteria started to kill his muscles.. Hopefully he can come back from now and if he does he would be a great addition to our squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest SweMatt Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 On BBC today: Argentina striker Higuain, 25, who has been linked with Juventus, confirmed his intention to leave the Bernabeu this summer. Higuain, who joined Real from River Plate in 2006, said: "I feel that my time has ended, I want a change of scene. "They were seven intense, hard, happy years. It was a well thought out decision and it isn't easy, but I want to go to a new club, to new challenges. "There are offers, including Juventus, but I don't know. I would like to go somewhere that can show for real that they want me." Jonas can surely give the man a call? I reckon he would be ours for £20m.

SLK Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Was watching Pierre-Emerick on YouTube and couldn't not notice Saint Etienne's number 9 who has a great understanding with their number 7 (Pierre). His name is Max Gradel from Ivory Coast who was voted Leeds player of the year 2 years ago. From the videos he seems to provide assists and scores goals too similar style to Craig Bellamy.

Flip Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 I was watching my 2nd team, Corinthians play yesterday and I would love a DM a la Ralf. He might be a bit unrealistic with him being linked to some bigger clubs (€22m to Bayern being rumoured), but still, he's the type of defensive midfielder who would work perfectly with Moussa and Cabaye. He has the ability to create from deep, pass the ball around well but best of all he's like Tiote on his good day defensively every game, wins so many duels in the middle of the park and covers for the defence. We really need someone like that, that can anchor that midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
