Toon line up top targets

[Mick]

We didn't/don't need defenders.

 

Our defenders are that good that we've got to play our best right sided midfielder in defence and pack the defence with midfielders and play one up front.

We correctly spent £5 million (33% of our transfer budget) on a winger who has done nothing since he's been here but he will be good value if he turns out to be as good as he was at Blackburn.

I am "obsessed" with Huth as he is one of the players on the last day of the window we went for and failed to get.

 

Lets say for arguments sake we didn't have money left to make these bids, why the hell did we spend £5m+ signing on fee for Duff when you clearly pointed out we needed strikers as a priority and we also needed defenders. Good planning?

 

As has been said, the manager of the club made his plans to do what he wanted, not what you wanted.

 

You haven't taken in anything in this thread from myself, HTL or Chez Given have you ? And I agree with Roeder, I would rather invest 5m quid of the clubs money on Duff than Huth

 

 

So you would rather waste money on Duff than Huth. bluelaugh.gif bluelaugh.gif

Well if Crouch is a target of ours Raffa won't sell..

 

Rafa Benitez has warned interested parties that he has no intention of letting Peter Crouch leave Liverpool in January.

 

Crouch was a key performer for The Reds last term, with his efforts in front of goal cementing him a regular spot for England, but he has found it tough to make an impression at Anfield this season.

 

Although an advocate of the rotation system, Benitez has allowed Dirk Kuyt and Craig Bellamy to form a solid partnership and a number of clubs have been alerted to Crouch's plight on Merseyside.

 

Benitez is aware that a number of clubs are keeping tabs on Crouch, but the Spanish tactician feels they are wasting their time.

 

"I'm happy with the strikers I have here," said Benitez. "We don't want to sell Peter.

 

"We are not even thinking about it. We are in four competitions and I want to keep my strikers. I'm happy with Peter."

 

Benitez has told Crouch that he will soon get the chance to prove his class in front of goal.

 

"When we played with Kuyt and Crouch we were winning five games in a row and people were saying the understanding between them is good," added Benitez.

 

"Now it's being said about Bellamy and Kuyt. But Robbie Fowler is also a clever player.

 

"All four are good and they must be ready because we have four games in a few days."

here comes the genius again.

 

How did you know he wasn't going to reproduce his Blackburn form from day 1 ?

 

 

Solano is playing right back because of numerous injuries and he has played there many times for Peru. I thought you said you knew your football. Maybe moving him there is a good tactical move in view of this and the fact he is getting older ? Thank you for admitting we are short of forwards BTW.

 

 

Can you tell us who would have scored the goals if Martins and Sibierski hadn't been brought in and why you think a 19 year old lad was going to play 50 games this season ? It must be choking you that the signings you didn't want are now doing well and are proving to be very important.

 

 

There are plenty of people in this thread who think we should be spending more money. Whats your reply to them ?

 

Can you tell us how Peter Beardsley was so well known his fee when we bought him rocketed to a colossal 150,000 quid ?

 

Can you tell us why pre-1992 all our locally born England players with their careers ahead of them all wanted to leave the club ?

 

Take your time. I understand you will struggle with this one.

 

Can you tell us why Martins came here, was it because we made him feel like he was wanted and that he was signing for a big club. Can you explain why Duff chose us instead of Liverpool - was it because Liverpool didn't make him feel as wanted as we did ? Why did Parker choose us before Everton last summer ? Was it because he saw us as a bigger club and we made him feel wanted ? 

 

Good planning ?

 

anyway, surprisingly you clipped this part of your last response, you can answer it now if you like, I understand you didn't deliberately clip it because you had no answer to it ?

Where have I ever said I knew he wasn't going to produce his Blackburn form from day 1?  I know, it'll be the voices.

 

Moving Solano to right back was because we didn't have anybody else good enough for that position, we might have been better off on that account if we'd done some work on the defence during the window, something which we did try but we left it so late that we screwed up.  As for him playing in that position for Peru, so what, we moved him into defence because Carr was injured so stop trying to dress it up as something else you desperate fool.

 

We are short of forwards, we're also short of defenders, Leazes (should be paddock).  We might not be as short in the forward department if we ran the football club in a better way and out-bid Liverpool for Owen by a £million rather than doubling what they bid, we would have had the same again to spend on someone else.  I virtually said that when we bought him, we put all of our eggs into one basket because his fee could have brought in two players at least, if we had used our heads instead of acting like some kind of lottery winners who've never had money before.

 

Where did I say a 19 year old was going to play 50 games?

 

My reply to those who think we should spend "more money" is that we should spend money to strengthen the team, and not try to double what our only rivals are willing to pay, if we had used that criteria while Souness was here we wouldn't have posted a massive loss recently, have you got a problem with that?

 

What has Beardsley got to do with this thread you fool?  Beardsley was well known enough for Man U to take him on trial, was he not?  They also handed money over to his club, did they not?

 

I've answered your question about why the locally born players wanted to leave, if you can't read then that's your problem.  If Ellis is such a shite chairman, is Shepherd worse than shite because Ellis guided Villa to a higher league finish than Newcastle under Shepherd more often than not?  I've highlighted a one of your comments above which applies to this question to save me from typing it, you hypocritical fool, you've failed to answer it for months.

 

You clip others posts so don't demand comments from others until you start practicing what you preach.  How the hell do I know why he chose us over Liverpool?  It could be that he felt he had less competition for places here, it could be that we offered him more money, it could also be that Liverpool didn't make a bid and the transfer window was almost over and he wasn't going to get a game with his current club, do you know the answer?

 

[Cajun]

You keep banging on about Martins and Sibierski, please show me where I have said we shouldn't have signed these 2?

 

Please also show me where I have said we should have signed Huth?

 

What I did say was we didnt need to spend £5m on Duff and this could have been used elsewhere, with the £5m from the Duff purchase and whatever funds we had to bid for Viduka, Huth and/or Knight we could have got another striker and a defender or 2. Would this not have been better planning or are you happy with Duff and failed last day/last minute bids?

[Guest Gemmill]

Lads, when every post you make in response to Leazes is "Where have I said x,y,z?" that's the time to stop arguing with him because it means you've won.  As soon as he starts attributing things to me that I haven't said, I stop replying and consider myself the victor.

 

I suggest you both do the same.

You commented on Duff not showing the form he showed at Blackburn - you said We correctly spent £5 million (33% of our transfer budget) on a winger who has done nothing since he's been here but he will be good value if he turns out to be as good as he was at Blackburn.

 

We currently have the 8th best defence in the premiership, has improved hugely recently, and one of the poorest scoring records and only 2 out and out forwards, one of which is a stop gap. It is obvious - apart from to people like you - that we are better off for defenders than forwards. You desperate fool.

 

If you realise a 19 year old lad wasn't going to play 50 games, what is your problem with buying Duff ?

 

The idea of spending money is to strengthen the team. This is what the club do, and have done since 1992, although in your warped mind you think this is no different to the directors for 30 years pre-1992 who actually sold our best players instead.

 

Nice to see why he chose us over Liverpool, it makes a change rather than sell players to Liverpool, especially locally born England players although why Liverpool didn't buy him for 150,000 quid instead of over 2m a few years later, beats me. Do you know why they would do this, as you say he was "well known through being on the books of manu" and Liverpool is a damn sight nearer Manchester than Newcastle ? Do you think every player signed by manu is "well known" through being on the books of manure, you stupid fool  [and back then they weren't winning the league either]. As I told you previously, I was working in the south at the time and nobody had heard of him, they only heard of him when we were promoted and even then most people thought Waddle was the best, being the first to win both an under 21 and a full cap for England - FACT.

 

Doug Ellis took over Aston Villa when they were European Champions, since then they have gone massively backwards. For 26 years. And in the last decade they have not appeared in europe more than us, nor do they have a higher average league position.

 

I don't clip posts very often. When I occasionally do, it is not to avoid answering questions I can't answer, unlike yourself.

 

In fact, I'll quote the bits you avoided again - I said  Can you tell us why Martins came here, was it because we made him feel like he was wanted and that he was signing for a big club.  Can you explain why Duff chose us instead of Liverpool - was it because Liverpool didn't make him feel as wanted as we did ?  Why did Parker choose us before Everton last summer ? Was it because he saw us as a bigger club and we made him feel wanted ?

As you accept we did the right thing, and keep harping on about defenders, thickmick will now explain to you - as will his sister when she comes along - that the club doesn't have a bottomless pit of money. Or maybe he won't.

 

 

It is quite simply that I don't agree. I think if Duff plays the way he did before he went to Chelsea it is money better spent than on a defender. I can't see what you mean by "bad planning", the manager just thinks different to you, and whats more, he is right and you are not.
