Unbelievable Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Loved Robin van Persie since he was a Feyenoord youth player Has he ever done anything for Holland in knockouts of a tournament? Not enough. This past World Cup was probably his best tournament for us in terms of end product. Still, his presence up top has been invaluable in those two World Cups regardless of lack of end product. Van Persie is a fantastic forward to lead the line and bring others into play. I do wish he could have really shone on those major occasions by scoring a few more - it could have been the difference between winning the cup or not - but I wouldn't say he had failed. He will go into the history books as our NT all time top scorer who led us into one World Cup final and one semi final. On a personal note, I sincerely hope he will finish his career at Excelsior Rotterdam as he has always promised he would. It will signal to me that through it all he has kept the love for the game that has set him apart from others as he rose through the ranks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ally Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Ignoring the money for a second, i think some how forgotten how good he was alongside Suarez. Wouldn't surprise me if he performs similar with Aguero tbh. Do you remember when Bramble used to look class alongside Woodgate? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 I genuinely wonder whether City actually think he's worth that kind of money or if they're engaged in some sort of cock-waving exercise whereby they just have to prove that they CAN buy a player if they decide to. Exactly how I feel about this transfer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beren Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 £50m for Sterling man Effectively guarantees the bell a starting berth too. Knew football was on the path to this ridiculousness when Darren fucking Bent went for £18m or something like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 They're paying for English premium n all like given their total lack of HG players. Pretty much the only England player they could buy who'd move and get in their XI. Liverpool could do a lot worse than using it on one or two players instead of piss farting about signing a raft of £7-15m types. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 £14.4 million seems cheap for Schneiderlin. They should have rinsed them for more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieT Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 £14.4 million seems cheap for Schneiderlin. They should have rinsed them for more. Its £25 million isn't it? The £14.4m is for Schweinsteiger. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 If Di Maria goes to PSG, that money has effectively gone on Depay, Schneiderlin and Schweinsteiger. They've done very well with that, their squad is looking lush. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovejoy Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 They're top heavy in midfield, week up front and in defence I think, there's still a pretty big imbalance. Herrera, Carrick, fellaini, Di Maria, schweinsteiger, schneiderlin, mata, blind. That's an awful lot of competition for 2/3 spots. Then they've got Rooney and Wilson as strikers (hernandez looks like he's away). They've still got a bit to go to get balance I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye it's pretty perplexing that they've not strengthened in central defence yet, unless they're planning to do so. 3 players down the spine (CB, CF, GK if De Gea's off) that are strong characters and just about the finished article and they'll challenge for the title next year IMO.

Interpolic Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 It depends who is available I suppose, there's a real dearth of talent at centre half these days so it might not be as straighforward as throwing money at it. Ramos would be a great signing, obviously. Add Lloris and Shola and they're sorted. Would cost a fortune though, obviously. Actually they could do worse than Remy tbh.

Interpolic Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Cavani would be good, I really can't see Kane leaving Spurs at this stage though. It'd cost them Sterling money and as great as he was last year it'd be a risk. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree although it seems slightly unfair in a sense. Them challenging next season would be enough IMO. The squad had become a bit of a mess before LVG took over. Chelsea's squad is more well suited to churning out enough results to win the title I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
