Unlucky Luque Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Tuncay-Emre-Barton-Milner My midfield would outclass that midfield over a season imo But mine would only cost around £5m Who's the holding player? Teams would just walk straight through the center. Look. I'm only trying to make a semi-realistic midfield. If we have as much money to spend as we think we have: Tuncay ?? Milner Appiah If you are going to play 4 in midfield with tuncay as an attacking midfielder then i do feel that Appiah will have some running to do Well FM says he has good stamina, so I wouldnt worry about that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Tuncay will probably be on the move but I will put money on its not to us. Celtic and Juventus are both after Appiah also, so keep guessing lads.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Everton will want an absolute fortune for Arteta. He's looked an excellent player this season to be fair to them and he's exactly the type of player we need. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieDazzler Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Its scary how goods Evertons CM's are and Cahill and Arteta only cost a total of £3.5m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Thread has turned into bollocks a bit. But Arteta isn't at all an unrealistic target for us if Ashley can gain full control over the club fairly promptly and hand Sam a decent transfer kitty. Whether we'll target him is another matter, but I'd be very happy to see him here, class player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norwegian-Geordie Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Think I read that West Ham were gonna try to get Johnson and Arteta from Everton for 30mill£!! I think it was in BBCs gossip. That is the same as one Schevchenko would cost! Would love Arteta to play for us, but I am afraid he is far too expensive... Didn't know WH had that kind of money. But while we are talking about midfields: Saviola Zoggo Milner Yaya Toure Maybe Saviola is unrealistic, but I think he would be mint! Use him in the same role as for Argentina in the World Cup behind the strikers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest khyberpass Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Linked with West Ham in the papers. If we were to be taken over we could afford him would he be a good choice for our midfield.?? Duff Arteta Barton Milner??? Clearly he is a good choice. As for West ham, apparently they "expect" a £40M transfer fund.....(makes you think they do get cash for Tevez?) I still think its worth us pursuing...not only does it strengthen our side, but it weakens one of the sides we need to overhaul... good strategic purchase.

Dave Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Even if Everton were convinced to sell to us (which they wouldn't be) he'd cost about £10m imo. No chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Even if Everton were convinced to sell to us (which they wouldn't be) he'd cost about £10m imo. No chance. How do you figure? A quality CM who can pass the ball very well has got to be very near the top of our list of needs this summer, if we've a decent transfer kitty I don't see spending 10m on one player as being that unrealistic. Personally don't think it will happen, as I reckon Allardyce will fancy that he can get some good performances out of Emre in that role. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this takeover thing happens, and in time to give us some silly money to play with (which as i've said before I think people are getting slightly carried away with) then spending that on him isn't out of the question I suppose, no. I just don't see why they would sell him, and to us in particular. He's one of their star players now, and we're hardly better than them at this point in time. He's hardly going to put in a transfer request to come to us is he, like he would to go to Man U etc? Can't see it happening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily. And we've got a pretty shitty record of attracting players who come just for the money already... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

skryp2nit3 Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Milner Tuncay Asamoah Gyan Butt And Viduka up top on his own I suppose? We'd be rubbish. Asamoah Gyan is one player. Add: anyway since we're having silly season... this would be my dream midfield quartet. Duff Lucho Gonzalez Alou Diarra Arteta I think Arteta would be better on the right than in the middle. ps - Lucho Gonzalez is one player, Alou Diarra as well, before someone thinks its a 6 man midfield.

1878 Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Arteta isn't going anywhere. This newspaper story was lifted from a first time poster on a West Ham forum claiming they are going to sign Johnson, Arteta AND Cahill :lol: If you read the Mirror today there is absolutely no substance to it, no figures are mentioned, no quotes (not even from "an inside source") and outside of the attention grabbing headline the two players are barely mentioned in the entire full page article. In fact there's more about Mark Viduka in there than Arteta & Johnson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
