Guest Verlaine Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 ssn paper review - sed owens goin man u - 4mil + smith cud put s stop to eidur deal? Wow. This is exactly what I said was likely to be happened once that Alan Smith story came out and Alan Oliver said we would only get him if Owen/Martins left. I had a feelign a swap deal in some form or the other was on the cards with Owen going the other way. Wow indeed. Stop bumming yourself, it's not happened yet Well I'm certainly not hoping it happens as we should be able to do a little better than that, but I can't help but feel it is inevitable. The good thing is that it would end all the speculation and we can just move on. I'll tell you when I started worrying ... when Udinese won the rights for Quagillera and they said they definitely weren't selling him. Man United were chasing him for £10 million. I had a feeling they would come in for Owen after that. On this occassion I wouldn't mind being wrong about this. Believe me! It wouldn't be a massive surprise if that were the case.

Keefaz Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Don't believe it man. More paper shite. Why the hell would we accept that offer for Owen? Its not as if we want to sell him. I am quite confident the only offer we will accept for him is one that activates his clause. Quite true. £9m+Smith and I could live with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest optimistic nit Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Smiths a good striker. Gud is a better striker. replacing owen and martins with smith and Gud is a minor step backwards, but not drastic. i would put up with that if we got baines or another equally good left back and geremi and baye plus one more attacking player (either creative mid or striker).

Guest optimistic nit Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 and also backups for baines (or alternate left back) and geremi. I'm thinking shorey and bridge at this moment, we don't want to be signing players who couldn't compete with the two first choicers. Shorey and geremi and bridge and baines would be un fucking believeable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest optimistic nit Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Shorey a left back? my bad. tevez would be the ideal creative player btw. we don't really need another rb. solano could cover geremi. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummie Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Don't understand. You've already got two strikers better than Gudjohnssen, and both of them are way way better than Alan Smith. Release clauses or no release clauses, I'd like to think SA tried to hold on to them. PS I haven't read the whole thread, so apols if I am missing something.

Talking of Spurs, I love the way that every single time any one of Newcastle, Villa or Everton is linked with a player, at a late point in proceedings, Spurs are said to have stepped in, and we're all supposed to act like Barcelona have just made an offer of twice as much and double the wages.

Martins isn't as good yet, but he will be. If it's Owen that's going - then it's good business. Gudjohnsen for Martins isn't wise imo; cos where Gudjohnsen's only got a couple years left at his best, Martins is yet to achieve it. But we're not going into that again.

thomas Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Is there any conformation that Sam and Freddie have gone to Barcelona? I find it incredible that Fred would fly anywhere so soon after a punctured lung. Not that Shepherd. which shepherd then? http://oneyearbibleimages.com/jesus_shepherd.jpg Aye I think we'd need his help to land Eidur. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
