Guest JS Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Just had a mackem in my house to measure something up for us that we want to buy. He saw my sons bedroom full of NUFC stuff and said that I should get him to support a proper team......... So we bagan a reasonably good natured bant and he came out with the classic that DiCanio is the manager for them, he never liked O'Neil at all but, DiCanio is going to take them places.... He gave me the quote and I politely said that we would not be buying his product! Rattled marra. Did he shed tears of blue Panda pop? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 With Rose, Mignolet and Sessegnon gone, is there anything left? Lots of Italian-based players, the majority of whom dont normally adapt to the Premier League. Their new signings best be good. Our combined XI is going to be shit otherwise without those three.

Ketsbaia Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Made a £7m bid for an Inter player with two Christian names apparently. Someone called Alfred Duncan. Never heard of him but he's just spent time with Livorno. Di Canio is throwing the money away, its class Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillClinton Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 another Alfred? At least they are going for younger players this time instead of their usual strategy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nixon Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 If they're lucky, Inter will say no and Biabiany will join Napoli. To pay nearly £20m for both. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they'll get a few Gianluca Nanni/Savio Nsereko signings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucaAltieri Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 An Italian DoF is a terrible idea. The annual transfer carousel over there is ridiculous. Higher turnover than Tesco checkout workers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nixon Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 An Italian DoF is a terrible idea. The annual transfer carousel over there is ridiculous. Higher turnover than Tesco checkout workers. True Angeloni at least arrives with a good pedigree from Udinese. His time at Inter was pretty terrible, but there's always a fall guy at Inter.

Ketsbaia Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Don't Italians normally struggle in the Premier League? Whilst we've had Zola, Di Canio and Carbone there's also been Bianchi, Aquilani, Grabbi, Corradi, Maccarone, Silenzi and Berti. I guess Santon has done alright.

ponsaelius Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Bianchi, Corradi and Maccarone didn't struggle. They're just not very good, in England or Italy. Harsh to overlook Ravanelli, Balotelli, Di Matteo and Vialli as other successes/relative successes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Well yeah, they were just a few examples but Wiki has a comprehensive list of them all: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_foreign_Premier_League_players#Italy You're right though, they've not actually signed any yet.

ponsaelius Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Most of the Italian players to have come to England are capless and not very good. It's like us exporting lots of Danny Simpson type players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainhaircut Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 What are they thinking? Talk this morning that Mignolet and Sessesgnon will be sold for a combined 15m. Add in not having Rose this season and they'll have lost 3 of their 4 decent players. And then they'll replace them all with a load of average Italians.

David Icke - Son of God Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 I think that's a good deal for the Mackems. Mignolet is overrated and Westwood is one hell of a replacement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Saying the price is about £9m, which I thought was a bit low. But yeah, Westwood is pretty good and they can use that money on Serie B players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 I think that's a good deal for the Mackems. Mignolet is overrated and Westwood is one hell of a replacement. Have to say I haven't seen that much of Westwood, but Mignolet essentially saved their bacon last season. What makes you say Westwood would be able to adequately replace him?

Seen Westwood mostly for Ireland and he's competent to good but hardly outstanding and I'd say Mingolet is a good deal better but Westwood won't let them down Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
