Craig Bellamy

 

 

Would you swap him for Owen? (since Liverpool want £9m and the supposed release fee is £9m)

 

Actually, I would have liked him to play alongside Owen preferably.

 

Owens contract bothers me. He is a free agent in 18 months. If he won't extend - and I think he owes us this - then I would immediately look around to getting the biggest fee possible, or the best part exchange. Bellamy and a few million quid comes into this category.

 

I have to say this, because you shouldn't sell your best players, the trouble being now as compared to the past, the Bosman ruling has moved the goalposts. We don't want to lose Owen for nothing in 2 years time.

 

 

 

I'm very worried about Owen's contract, tbh less worried due to the arrival of Ashley, but pride would still be stung if we get fuked over on this one.

 

We can lose all of the £9m on Luque, but to lose the same on Owen due to the circumstances would be painful, bit like what Boro are experiencing right now with Viduka  :lol:

 

If we could get Bellamy back with money on top its worth considering. I think Owen is the better goalscorer, but Bellamy is Newcastle, its no wonder he wants to come back here, he belongs just like Owen belongs with them.

Ben Haim's mates with Uri Geller. Can we honestly take the risk of that t*** turning up at SJP?

 

Geller's got links with Exeter still.

 

Well, at least there's a good chance he'll turn up at the wrong SJP, then.

Just read this :lol:, from Uri Geller's site:

 

'He told a reporter this week: “The conversations with Uri help me enormously. He persuades me to believe in myself and other things that may help my game with Bolton and Israel. I feel confident every time I go on to the pitch."

 

And he’s not afraid to tell his colleagues how he achieves his mental strength. His fellow defender, Rahdi Jaidi, told the national press: “Tal is a very positive person and I know he puts a lot of that down to his sessions with Uri Geller. He fills his mind with positive thinking.”

 

When I read that, I knew how it must feel to power the ball into the net from 40 yards out. Tal, I’m proud to be part of the team'

Realistically, i'd like to see us buy a pair of top class full-backs before the start of the season, something we've lacked since the great flood.

No way Colloccini would cost 6mill. We tried to sign him in January for 1,5 (at least aproxomatly), but Deportivo wanted 2,7mill (aproxomatly I think ;)) and Freddy didnt want to give them that. He har fallen out with the manager in Deportivo and been shite the last year. But still, I think he can become quality again eith a manager who doesent hold any grudges against him or he doesent hold any grudges against.

 

To be hounest with you I seriously doubt Mancini and Diego would come to us. Both are playing for better clubs and can probably move to many better clubs if they were to be sold. Plus I think both would have been shite in Premier League. Mancini fits better in Italy or Spain and Diego is not a normal CM. More a very very offencive midfielder. But still, they are great players that unfortunately probably won't play for us in the nearest future.

would be a good move imo.

true but we can pay them more and the premiership is a step up from the bundesliga. i don't think mancini would be shite here at all, he cuts inside and scores a shit load of goals so think he'd be perfect for a wide front man role rather than a traditional wing role. also in the formation i posted i put Diego at the front of a three man midfield with two strong players covering for him.

Colloccini would be good, I agree there. But Diego is more a La Liga or Serie A-player than a PL-player IMO. I think Mancini is too. But lets hope I am wrong if they come to us, and right if they go to someone else! I know I would be happy if they came, but I was happy when Luque came as well. (not that I am comparing him with these two).

Just one signing that grabs us by the balls and makes everyone take notice of us again.

 

It would make a change to make a few signings that weren't attention-seeking, and actually did us some good in the long term.

We're doing that with Viduka, Barton & Ben Haim...but they won't get you top 4 will they? If Ashley is serious about wanting to challenge for the title, then that means signing big name stars. Obviously in our current position that's difficult, but just one "trophy signing" as people call them would show people that Allardyce does have a much bigger club now.

Richards  Milito    Ben Haim  Bridge

                   

                      Appiah

                           

                Diego      Barton

 

    Bellamy    Viduka      Tevez

 

 

 

That is all.

 

Not to be funny mate, but I just can't see us getting Richards, Milito, Appiah, Tevez or Diego. 

 

I always sigh when I see posts suggesting players we just can't get (or its highly unlikely we will get).  It's fantasy.  Surely its better to think about who we CAN SIGN and who would improve team from that list?

Trying to be as realistic as possible:

 

Sneijder

Baines

Richards

Silvestre

Young

Rozenhal

Ben Haim

Tuncay

 

People have been saying we couldn't attract Richards. Why not? We're a better team than Man City, we have a well respected manager and a group of good players. We might not be in Europe now but it's only a matter of time before we're back there.

 

Lineup for home games

 

.......................Given

 

Solano.....Taylor.....Richards....Baines

 

Milner....Barton.......Sneijder.....Tuncay

 

.............Owen.........Viduka

 

 

Away games:

 

.......................Given

 

Richards....Taylor....Ben Haim.....Baines

 

 

Milner........Butt......Barton.......Tuncay

 

................Owen.....Viduka

Does anyone know this? How long has Sam had Bolton as a 4-5-1 side? Good few years now...

 

Honestly can't see anything other than a 4-3-3/4-5-1. He isn't really a 4-4-2 man. I know he's got the funds and the backing now, but there's no reason for why he should change a formula that he's proved does work.

If Liverpool offered Cisse, Hyypia and £5 million for Owen who would have that?

 

Not me.
