Dokko Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Bet no-one has actually seen either of them play other than against us this season I saw him against Watford this and last season. Way to judge a player who is as solid as Woodgate mackems.gif Jesus you are more of a joke than i 1st thought, well done. Watch a lot of Wigan, do you? More than this clown prince obviously if he thinks Shorey = Woodgate because he's had two good games against a Championship team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Baines had a much better 1st season in the EPL than Shorey. And a shocking second one. Shorey's hardly had a bad game in 2 years as Readings regular left back. Defenders: Phil Neville (Everton), Joleon Lescott (Everton), Michael Dawson (Tottenham), Ledley King (Tottenham), Gareth Barry (Aston Villa), Nicky Shorey (Reading) Looks like he is in the England squad. Good stuff. Phil Neville mind Wigan have been shocking tbf, and its hard for any decent player to shine in a shocking team, especially a LB. I do agree he's (Shorey) a good player and would like to see him here, but £6m's and Woodgate comparisons is beyond fuking stupidity imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gggg Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Prices are going to be bumped up this summer because of the Tv deal so i dont think £6m for one of the best left backs in the league is that bad a deal tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(considering they could of lost him for free at the end of this season but he signed a new deal) With Wigan almost certainly going down i'd much rather go with the younger and more technical LB in Baines. Both if the price is right (£3 + £5m) we need two players for every position, this would be a good start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Bale is destined to be one of the world's great full backs. If there's any chance of getting him, I'd take it. His value will double in the next three years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His value will double in the next three years. But he's nowhere near that yet, from what I've seen of him he's not that good defensively and this is at championship level. I dont see the point in buying a player now for (about £7-10m if the rumours are true) for a player who wont be the finished article for at least 2 years. And who's to say his value wont decrease after playing in our defence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Toon83 Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 I would take Shorey in a heartbeat but not for £6m, he has only had one very good season, ala Sidwell and he is suddenly branded with a big price tag, £6m for a left back is alot of money for Newcastle these days, i would take him for £3m maybe £4m max, but this figure just shows why premiership managers are buying from abroad, yet another over priced English man Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 £6m is suicidal, especially when the papers this morning say we're only getting £15m + the funds from selling players, which to be fair, won't contribute a great deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 £2m tops. I'd sooner go back to Chelsea with £6m for Bridge if we're going to spend that much on a left-back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest gggg Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 When? After he had proved himself over a number of years? Eh? he was no more proven than Shorey. He wasnt in the England squad till he joined Chelsea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Yes he was. I remember when Dean Richards went to Spurs from Southampton for £8m he used the "I want to play for my country" line as an excuse. A month later, Bridge of Southampton was called-up for the first time, Richards never did win a cap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carr would fetch about £1m, Bramble could go on a free and I can't see anyone who could match Babayaro's wage demands (ie. anyone in the Prem), wanting to take him off us.

You said he is like a Woogdate guy in defense, that means a woodgate type player not his fuking speed. Its not my fault you cannot answer a simple fuking question properly or you would of said he has the speed of Woodgate, but why you'd pick him i do not know. Not making sense, backtracking as you've been spouting shit, cant be arsed with your inept bollocks opinion on the matter tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Parka Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Shorey is pretty mint like good going forward much better than we have at the back. If Wigan go down however we should bid for Banes and Taylor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmonkey Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Baines looks a better defender to me. With Allardyce in charge however, maybe we should go back in for Sorin, who he nearly signed and only turned Bolton down because they wouldnt meet his 35k pw wage demands. Although young, promising English players should be prioritised over foreign players of similar ability and price, Sorin is a better defender, a better footballer, far more experienced, and is alot stronger in the air than Baines or Shorey, and probably wont cost as much, despite being captain of Argentina.

toontownman Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Quite like the look of Hunt at Reading too, Sorin might not be a bad shout, although maybe a bit too old now, would certainly be an allardyce type signing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Monkey Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 £3m no more. £6m gets you Baines, especially if Wigan go down. Shorey is better. No he's not. He is. Baines is at fault for half of Wigans goals and their defence is even worse than ours. Readings defensive stats are only marginally better than ours - about 2 goals, i think.
