Rich Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 I'd still sign two centre-halves, at least one left-back and one tall/powerful defensive midfielder if we aren't going to lose any of the current playing squad. I'd take a specialist right-back as well if I can be greedy and if Geremi hasn't been signed to play there first-choice. That would see us into the enviable position of having two adequate (at the least) players to contest for every spot on the park and a few extra bodies for "emergencies" in each section of the pitch: Krul, Ramage, Luque and Carroll - all of whom wouldn't worry me if they had to play during a bad spell, which I'd be surprised to see happen under Allardyce. And of the remaining players the only one I'd see as being utterly surplus/definitely sell is Stephen Carr, but that wasn't really the question.

brummie Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 I can not believe anyone would seriously think that 1. Marquez is crap, and 2. Wouldn't be an excellent signing for any second tranche PL team. He's won pretty much everything going, he looked one of the best players at the last world cup, he'd be brilliant in this league. I know football is all about opinions, but in mine, anyone who thinks he is "crap" is mad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another player I reckon we could go for is Thuram - he's ageing but I reckon he could be an effective sweeper beside Taylor. His experience would be absolutely priceless in our squad.

Yorkie Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 We'd have to break the bank for Marquez. Nevertheless, would be an absolutely immense signing. Not that we would ever have a chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know football is all about opinions, but in mine, anyone who thinks he is "crap" is mad. He's been terribly off form mind, this is coming from someone who is a huge fan of him as well. Mexico could have a canny team in the next few years with the likes of Vela and Dos Santos coming through. There's never been an issue with the technical side of the game, the country has always had issues developing players physically and with their conditioning. But now more and more are playing abroad this aspect now seems to be slowly creeping away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohmelads Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 We'd have to break the bank for Marquez. Nevertheless, would be an absolutely immense signing. Not that we would ever have a chance. Why not? All the Spanish papers are saying Barca will probably sell Marquez once they get Gabi Milito. Atletico Madrid are the only club linked with Marquez, but they don't exactly blow us out of the water. Marquez got his Spanish passport last November so he'd have no problems playing over here. AS are claiming that Atletico would want Barca to seriously lower their price or even accept a loan deal. They're looking for a ball playing centre back and Marquez is said to be good friends with their coach. But I think if we were to offer something like £8m Barca would definitely listen. Andrade just went for £6.7M and although Depor are really skint, Marquez is about to become 4th choice at the Nou Camp while Andrade was the star player at Depor. To say we would never have a chance is to suggest that someone like Milan would come and snap him up, yet for the moment I only see Atletico putting their name forward.

Flip Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 marquez is crap, end of story. you're delusional, end of a different story. Just look at his sig, you will understand. hehe...HONESTLY, we should go for Salcido. Best defender here in Mexico, underrated and always performs better then Marquez. Was excellent at PSV and a very quiet player, Osorio is aonther mexican defender who is great. I dont like Marquez, because here in Mexico he gets the headlines as being overrated while people in Europe outside of Spain sees him as one of the best. He was at fault for Liverpool banging them out of the Champions League, and quite honestly he had many mistakes which made them loose out to Real. Hes a good player, no doubt otherwise he wouldnt be where he is, but Barcelona wants to offload him and its understandable, HES NOT THAT GREAT. We should go for Salcido.

If Atletico can attract him then we definitely can. If Ashley wants to flex his financial muscle then I reckon it would make sense to get a solid, solid player - Marquez fits the bill perfectly.

I'm probably not ambitious enough. I'd go along with that. You're pushing it with Marquez if you ask me though, think we'd have a shot at him. Team with big potential that he knows he could be a cornerstone for (if he speaks English, he's a very good shout for captain) that can match his wages. Obviously there's a chance one of the elite clubs will be after him, but it's possible they won't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flip Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 Yes Salcido was class at the World Cup and although i agree he has had some bad matches, he havnt been as much at fault for important goals and hes pretty secure. But he dominates his flank most of the time and he would not have a problem in england except against Ronaldo, Robben/Malouda/Joe Cole. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
