Disco Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Given that we are not awash with money like Chelsea or City we have to be sensible with who bring in. I'd hate to see us go the way of Leeds chasing the dream with big money signings only to fall short. Bringing in top local talent like Colback who we might be able to sell a couple of years down the line for a small profit is just what we need to stay afloat next season.

Obviously shouldn't start every game but he'd do a better job than the dross we've got on the bench. I take my Dzeko stance back, Giroud must be better.

Unbelievable Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I wouldn't be opposed to Colback as a squad player/Gosling replacement providing it saves funds that can be invested elsewhere in the squad. Yeah right.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah right.. Why replace one shit midfielder with another shit midfielder? When Obertan fucks off are we going to find a shit winger to replace him? Do we need to find an immobile non-scoring lump to replace Shola? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Homegrown rules dictate we need English players, and we are letting quite a few go this summer, hopefully (Gosling, Shola, Saylor?), so I can see the logic as a squad player on a free.

Cronky Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Maybe I’ve missed something, but the article clearly states that it’s the player and the agent who is trying to push a move, not us. Either that or the Evil Ones are feeding the press with false information to put the vigilant fans off the scent, of course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact they don't rate him, and he's scored against us speaks volumes. Would rather see Bigi/Abeid. Abeid has to be given a chance considering the impact he has had in Greece.

Aiston Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Wouldn't complain too much at having Colback, but as backup. Pardew would probably have him in his starting 11 though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
