Guest GoonerAlexis Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Podolski off, misused player, lots of potential and how he should have been used? Getting game time would have been a great start, brilliant finisher Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chopey Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 I bet Newcastle are top of that league once Charnley works out how to open his embroided pepper pig purse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Is their team even that much better now than it was given all that they've spent? No. Most of that money has been used to buy players they already had in the team (Rodrigo, Negredo, Cancelo, André Gomes...), which were on loan or owned by Lim/Mendes' fund. IIRC they have only added Bakkali and Santi Mina, which are both young prospects. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 It's all 3rd party ownership malarkey. Since it looks like FIFA are going to shut down the whole thing, they needed to transfer those players to Valencia. Lim has said he's gonna pump some extra €100m in shares (which would balance the books, dunno if it would run afoul of FFP though). Amidst that, Valencia's president and DoF have left the club, after being completely ignored in all those dealings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawK Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/33410727 McEachran to Brentford. When he came on against us in the (League?) Cup a few years ago, he looked like frickin' Pirlo with the passes he was making and the space he made for himself, I thought off the back of that performance alone he'd go on to be an absolute rock for England, give us something we've been missing since Beckham. Where did it all go so wrong? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 He's looked pretty crap at practically every loan, talent doesn't always portray into a successful career. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Roger Kint Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 He's looked pretty crap at practically every loan, talent doesn't always portray into a successful career. Not sure where he was last year(Vitesse?) but looked poor every time i saw him in other loans. Must have been tough for him surviving on £30k a week since 17 or whenever he signed that first deal mind. Really should have left Chelsea a year or two ago and tried get get back on track elsewhere.

Unbelievable Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 He wasn't even a regular for Vitesse. Quite a spectacular fall from grace from those early Chelsea cup displays. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Almost like he stopped trying once he got a big deal and was cushty for life. I call it the Brazilian effect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Valencia sign Bakkali - also Mendes-repped () on a free. This lad looked like the next best thing a couple years ago, but fell off the face of the earth. I guess it's a decent punt on a free. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
