taxfree Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Manuel Lanzini has gone from River Plate to Al-Jazira in UAE at 21, supposed to be a great talent. Now that's a s*** move, not Valbuena going to Dynamo Moscow at 29. He's not that good in the grand scheme of Argentina dwarf attacking midfielders. Better than that like. Not seen but is Balanta still there? How about Zuculini? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 He's decent and looked good in a mediocre team but will likely flounder as moving from Argentina to PL as its a banana skin waiting to happen. If I were City I'd take a leaf out of Chelsea's book and park him in Europe as rank as that sentence is. How many players come from the non-Brazil leagues in South America and hit the ground running? Barely any. Saying that, even though Poyet is a tosser, he does encourage a bit of passing football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sempuki Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Forster to Southampton for £10m. Means £2.5m in Uncle Mike's pocket. GWWA. Which will mean that we will receive £4.5m for a player who never played for us! Is it £4.5m? Result if so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Some players must go to these clubs knowing it's unlikely that they will get a game for them but also it's likely that they will be loaned out where they are getting first team football and someone is still paying their massive wages. In that case it's pretty much a win win situation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case it's pretty much a win win situation. True, but honestly most players do not have the mentality to think, " I am not good enough for the top level and should stay at a smaller club for playing time". They genuinely think they can make it at these clubs. Rodwell for example had probably 100 appearances for a big club and was an England international at 21. What reason does a player like that have not to be ambitious? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brummie Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Aly Cissokho. I said to my brother tonight, "I honestly don't know anything about him" My brother said: "You remember when we played Liverpool last season, and we both agreed that their left back was one of the worst defenders we'd ever seen? The one where you said he made Alan Hutton look like Cafu? That one?" "Yes?" "That's him". That's three left backs bought and one loaned for a season from Lambo in two years. Meanwhile, if I rocked up at the training ground tomorrow, I reckon I'd be at least a contender to get into our midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at Scott Sinclair, last seen unable to force his way into Albion's starting XI. Things have got so bad for him, he's getting linked with a move to us.

What reason does a player like that have not to be ambitious? I am of the same opinion; if you believe you're good enough, there's no reason to reject an offer from a big club.
