Guest sicko2ndbest Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 I think Gameiro is a good alternative... 15m is too much of our budget (not that I know what it is). I would have felt uncomfortable paying this Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest antz1uk Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 far far far too much for an unproven player in an average league, move on and let them fight it out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEEJ Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Can't blame him to be honest. It'll be interesting to see who we go for next, whether we'll look for backup or a player of a similar stature. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Them over us. Best of luck to you, De Jong, you daft sod. Sure he'll hate the Champions League next season. What yee rolling at. Very little difference between both clubs. Both been in the shitter recently, almost identical crowds, last success a fair few decades back. Difference here is that they have CL football and a place as #1 centre forward. Oh and that they're willing to pay the fee. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Ah well, upside is how much we were willing to spend on him. Must be some canny other targets out there for that price or cheaper. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Ah well, upside is how much we were willing to spend on him. Must be some canny other targets out there for that price or cheaper. Aye, it must mean there's decent wad of cash available if we were prepared to spend £11m on a 21 year old forward with 1 decent season under his belt in Holland..... i'm aware his talented but still that's a pretty big show of intent Ashley even though we failed to land him. It's what gives me hope for the rest of the window and the season that we have targets in mind that will geneuinly strengthen us. Exciting stuff tbh, that's without mentioning all the young players beneath them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sicko2ndbest Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 £16m is overpriced but you can't really blame them! I think the quote about playing time a week or so ago told me which way he was leaning! Cisse and Ba will still be number one here and 16m is a lot to pay for a 3rd choice striker. It's a shame but I'm happy we're looking at that level! Whoever the next target is he will be non African so you can bet it will be someone plying their trade in France or Holland. Personally I would love to see us have a crack at Lukaku. He destroyed our ressies and I think he would fit the 3 up top system Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
