Re: Real Football (Soccer to you Yanks) Thread

Can't believe Liverpool have paid 20 million for Henderson. They sure like to pay way, way over the odds. Hopefully they might put in a bid of 15 - 20 million for Carlton Cole, the way the're pissing money away.

I don't think he will go to Liverpool, plus I don't think he is that good :24:

He has gone to Liverpool for 20 million.

For a Liverpool supporter, you sure dont seem to know much about what's going on at your team!

I was talking about Carlton Cole not Henderson :thumbup

Made this it's own thread, all transfer talk in here.

The odds on Kevin Nolan to go to West Ham have dropped from 10/1 to 3/2 on after a flurry of bets this afternoon. Reportedly Newcastle turned down an offer for him earlier but watch this space.

 

[Tuffdisc]

I don't think the rumours of Scott Parker ever coming to Liverpool are true, it is more likely that he will go to Spurs, despite their dispute over the Olympic stadium

To be fair, if Andy Carroll is worth £35,000,000, then Henderson probably is worth £20,000,000.

To put it in perspective; Man City, a team who perennially pay over the odds for players, payed only £4 million more for David Silva..

 

[Springsteen]

Silva is a fantastic player I have to say.

Some great news coming from Sunderland, they've apparently bid for John O'Shea, Darron Gibson and Wes Brown. If this is true I'll happily drive them to Sunderland.

I do wish Arsenal would start a little transfer dealing... I'm glad we aren't throwing momey about like the idiots at Liverpool, but some activity would be encouraging.

Yeah I think you will need to buy a copy of FIFA 12 to have any chance of Arsenal signing a decent player or winning anything next year

I have faith in Wenger still, although sometimes I can't explain why

There is a great team in there, nearly. I'd just add maybe a better anchor man than Song (perhaps the infreqiuently used Mascherano) and a decent centre back, or two decent centre backs if Vermaelaen will continue to be injured.

And naturally, a goalkeeper!

Naturally... should buy Tim Krull from Newcastle!

 

[Springsteen]

Arsenal need a goalkeeper (Don't kid yourself, Szezney isn't the answer), a decent centre half, perhaps one flexible defender, a midfielder to replace Cesc and a striker I think. Van Persie's good but tends to get injured every season, Chamakh and Bendtner clearly aren't good enough. Oh and errm....teach the players what winning mentality means.

I also already love Phil Jones, he was told that if he came here he'd be sat on the bench a lot to which he replied "At least I'll win trophies".

as it goes,keiron westwoods up on a free soon....any big club would be wise to take a look at him

In a follow up to Ian's story earlier, Marlon King has agreed terms at Birmingham.

Punches girls... in the eye!
Got caught, now he's doing time!
They split his ring, in D-Wing!
They're all bumming Marlon King!

Can't argue there.
I've never been Van Persie's biggest fan, but he really won me over this season.

I might add one more recommendation to Wenger though, one rarely noticed, Arsenal need another prong in their attack. The Fabregas-Nasri-Van Persie triangle is one of the best in the league, but the final piece is always let down by Walcott, and the oft unreliable Arshavin.
If Arshavin regularly lived up to his ability, then a Fabregas-Nasri-Arshavin-Van Persie quadrant would be almost unplayable.
