Stifler Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 He looked very unfit when he played for us, he did get in to good positions though. With better fitness and better service I think he would be a good signing, not sure if he would be good enough for the first team or not, but for a small fee I would certainly take the risk. Even if he is on the bench he's a much better bench option than Shola. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughesy Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 True - you could buy much worse 3rd or 4th strikers for that kind of money. Assuming we bought 1 or 2 quality strikers in addition to LDJ, I wouldn't turn him down at 3-4 million. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Paying a million quid less doesn't suddenly mean he wasn't utter shite. Not that the fee matters anyway, still don't get why people care. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johny1982 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 £3-4m for luuk would be a good move. Wouldn't surprise me if Ashley told him to play s**** since we're safe and we will sign his Bro then him in the summer. You can't fake how poor he was towards the end Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ste Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Didn't rate Luuk one bit, and I don't buy into the idea that he might play better cos we've signed his brother like I saw pop up a few times in the Siem thread. Alarm bells start ringing when a professional footballer struggles to get any kind of power or clean contact on his strikes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Never get the Richards hate to be honest. I would take him in a flash. He hasn't kicked on as he should have done for the natural talent he has, but he is definitely good enough for us. I don't think anyone hates him tbh, just that due to a mixture of not playing, not being a professional and never being fit he's nowhere near the player he was. If Debuchy were to go I'd take him mind, a lot better than any replacement i expect us to get in reality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He clearly has talent - he did play 29 league matches when they won the league in 2012. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 I'd take a chance on Richards, based on talent. I think centre back rather than full back suits him better, but he seems to have problems with concentration and so he's largely been kept out wide, where his career has stagnated.

I think centre back rather than full back suits him better, but he seems to have problems with concentration and so he's largely been kept out wide, where his career has stagnated. Given the fact coming from City you'd expect him to ask for wages of £60k plus and the fact we've already got one brain dead centre-back who can't follow instructions, I'd probably pass. Some of the stories in regards to Richards intelligence or lack thereof do not fill me with confidence that he'd be the ideal answer to a new spine of the team.

Guest Roger Kint Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 If we were going for English RB i would rather a chance on Trippier than Richards. Wages & injuries are too much tbh. Shame we cant just throw £8m or whatever for Aurier and have done with it mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
