Lagerstedt Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Do you think we're in a position to be able to afford to have a £10m striker left on the bench? Well, we've got a £9.5m striker who barely makes the reserves so why not? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Yes I do think £10m for Crouch is overpriced, but if we're going to make £5m on Martins I'd be willing to pay an extra £2-3m for him. Think he'd be a better partner for Owen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SLK Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 If we sell Oba I will do my nutt, fred will not be safe unless he fks off to the moon to live.... So if Martins went for £15m, then the next week, in came Bridge, Crouch, Distin & Campbell for the same price, you'd do your nut? Yes because that would suggest we do not have £15 mill to spend without selling a player. Buy all of the above for £15 mill and keep Martins I would be very happy indeed. Sell Luque and let Carroll go out on loan, but most of all KEEP MARTINS!! How can you buy all those players for 15 million ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 So you would rather have Shola on the bench or Carroll? I think if we want to win anything we need 3 decent strikers, Owen, Martins and Crouch would be great and then keeping Shola. If we only have Owen and Crocuh then what do we do when hit with injuries? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well two are on Frees, and I doubt Crouch & Bridge would be a lot more than £10m & £5m each. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lad at Liverpool going in the summer available for around £5-6m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 No need to sell Oba. He's been one of our best this season and he'll only get better. I agree, it'd be arguably a very good deal if we got four good players in, in exchange - but do you really think that will happen given our recent transfer misfortunes? Selling Martins could potentially be catastrophic, from both an on-the-field point of view and a squad point of view. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Lol Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Selling Martins would send out all the wrong signals, irrespective of whether it was good business or not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonDevil Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Defo agree that selling Martins would move this club in the wrong direction. We'd have been toast by now if it wasn't for him, and I'm not totally convinced that the rest of our strikers stay healthy all next season. Keeping Martins is key.

Thespence Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 I have noticed since Roeder now fancies Campbell, Alan Oliver no longer mentions him being too old, he is now classed as experienced. Like the bit when he writes "I always felt that one of the reasons United did not go for Campbell last season was because he would have taken some persuading to head so far north." Does anyone remember this s*** being written at the time? AO backed what Roeder said at the time: One defender United had looked at but decided against was Sol Campbell, who joined Portsmouth on a free transfer from Arsenal this summer. Roeder explained the decision was based largely on the centre-back's poor recent fitness record. "Sol Campbell cropped up in conversations," he admitted. "We looked at his record over the last couple of seasons and were surprised to find he'd only started 36 games in the last two seasons." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 I also love the spin he puts on the Ramage link to Wolves. "While a loan stint in the Championship might benefit Peter Ramage". Fecking hell man he's coming up to 24-25, it's not like he's an 18-19 year-old who needs to go out on loan to get some first-team experience! Is there a law which forbids Oliver calling Geordie players sh*te? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nufc_geordie Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 also from the chronicle, roeder explains why dyer was made captain. Roeder said today: "I made Kieron Dyer captain for purely motivational reasons, and when I told him his eyes lit up and it was a special moment for him. "I thought he carried off the responsibility of being captain very well, even though a couple of vital aspects of the game went against him. Every aspect of his game went against him, he was a joke and put no effort in! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Luque has agreed a one-year loan deal with PSV. Oliver's latest "bombshell", is that Sol Campbell's girlfriend lives up here and it was Campbell who spoke to Newcastle last week enquiring about a move, and not us asking him.
