zolton Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Rondon ending up there f***ing Premier League, man. What's with the Anguish? We complain when the big boys take all the good players are we complaining when the mid table sides take them too? I think its a good sides outside the top 4 - 6 are signing quality. It's just the way this forum operates pal. If Serie A/Bundesliga/La Liga was signing all these good players for midtable clubs, this forum would be jobbing one off at how amazing those leagues were going to be, whilst at the same time slagging off English football for being so far behind. Because its England thats signing these players at midtable clubs, its all of a sudden heinous, disgusting, awful for the Champions League (although I'm pretty sure if a CL club was in for these players, they would go there, so it tells its own story) and every other which way you want to negatively comment on it. Quite frankly its a sinister state of affairs when people can be that self loathing over their own country, whilst actively obsessing over a nation that promulgates rampant and offensive patriotism (USA), but each to their own. I'm sure no matter how many good players the mid table clubs sign, they will be referring to them as "dross" after about 3 weeks into the season. I haven't seen Rondon play much in club football for ages so can't comment on his circumstances but in general I think its a bad thing that players are moving from historically big clubs to play for bad teams either fighting relegation or trying to get midtable in the Premier League. In our own club here, we've been basically s*** for ten years and we've been able to get the best players from clubs such as PSV and Ajax who in the past were European powerhouses but due to not having enough money they'll never have a chance of winning or competing in Europe again unless they get a sheikh to take them over. The same with teams like Marseille who have lost two of their best players to West Ham and Swansea this season. I could have sworn we last returned to the Premier League with Newcastle, founder member of the football league, football manager has a lot to answer for! #Deluded.

Disco Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Can imagine being a founder member of the football league was a particularly swaying point for a 25 year old Venezuelan moving from St Petersburg. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stottie Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Maybe the problem was that Thauvin's agent heard Pardew talk about attractive attacking football and then checked out some of our games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deckard 13 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 I can only assume there's a bit of "damaged goods" about Shaqiri like. I think he'd be great but he's already made his big move and it hasn't worked out for him. He's then went to another club of considerable size/prestige and lasted all but a few months. He'll most likely be on huge wages as well which probably combines to a less than promising resale potential. I mean, if Stoke is your move then there has to be something putting other teams off. He certainly didn't look chuffed to be there. When the entire point of our club is to buy players on their way up, rather than on their way down, I can see why it's not a goer. We'll just stick with Obertan again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
