The College Dropout Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Used to be a fabolous player, great touch and finisher. He's not even that old but his legs seem to have gone. Maybe Sam can help him revive his form but I doubt it. RIP Freddie Ljungberg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggio Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Wes Brown is a decent right back tbf. £5 million is too much though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 I have a feeling Brown will only be considered if PSG push the price too far up for Rozenhal. Sam would probably only want to get Rozenhal if he is cheaper than Brown, but if PSG are insisting on a similar amount to what we could get Brown for, then Sam would probably rather get the premiership experienced player in Brown. That's what I think anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Don't rate Wes Brown like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Dont really know enough about Rozenhal to compare him to Brown, but with Browns ability to cover RB and Experience in Europe I would be thrilled to get him.. That said Rozenhal could be better, he was also deployed as a DM for a chunk of this season. So also brings a bit of versatility to the table.

midds Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Don't rate Wes Brown like. He's better than what we've got.....but that's not saying much. He's not worth £5m but if we signed him - he'd start every game as it stands. He'd, arguably, be our best defender if he signed tomorrow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowndsy Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 ive spoke to someone i know who is a manc fan (season ticket holder) he rates brown and he says the general feeling around the place is that they think brown should of played more last season but couldnt get a look in due to rio and vidic. so i dunno. could be good surely a trio of brown . haim and taylor is 10x if not more better than bramble moore taylor Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gggg Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 If Brown has been good enough for man U for years he's good enough for us, usually slots into the Man U defence without much fuss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Darth Toon Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 The likes of Ljungberg and Brown are exactly the kind of signings we would have made under the last couple of managers - less likely with Allardyce I would have thought, although Brown is a possibility given his versatility, and the fact he would likely have a point to prove.

Guest DavB93 Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 No thanks...past it. I like Sam's style but don't want him buying loads of old players on there way down, he wants to build for the future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keefaz Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Ljungberg has been a great player, but haven't seen much of him last season. I'd still take him for cheap, good experience and quality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest teepee Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 given our new financial status (upcoming at least) is it not a bit unambitious to go for the likes for ljungberg, rozenhal and wes brown? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERTOON Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Wes Brown is not wanted by Sam. On a free yes for Ljunberg would be great addition and can cover a number of positions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karjala Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Wenger willing to give him a free transfer, says it all. The comparison with Dyer is spot on, but we give him a bigger contract rather than a free transfer! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodson Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Ljungberg has had problems with injuries the last couple of seasons. Before this he was amazing though. Its hard to say weather he will come back to his old self, I doubt it though. Maybe Ljungberg could be converted to a right back. He is good at defending and especially one on one situations. Doubt that this would appeal to him, maybe if it means he can stay in London. He probably wont come up to toon. But I might be wrong, I read an interview with him a while back where he stated that ST James´s was the best stadium and definately the noiciest with amazing fans...

That's what I think anyway. I certainly hope that's not the way Allardyce is thinking. If he thinks Brown is better he should go for Brown.. Going for an inferior player just to save a million or so is ridiculous, especially now.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kmdnufc Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Ljunberg has been linked to Portsmouth the most. We don't need him with Nobby and Milner on the right. We've also been linked a lot to Gökdeniz Karadeniz of Trabzonspor for around £1m. He prefers to play on the right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
