silly season transfer thread

the 1st team squad has never been more successful; the reserves and youth set ups have rarely had so much quality in depth and have never brought in so much money - Pique, Richardson and Rossi brought in £20m between them for a start off.

don't let the facts get in the way though, eh

Yeah but Yootoobio still hasn't been bought.

Where exactly would Bale play if Utd were to bid for him? Would hate to see Nani being dropped unless Ferie switches him over to the right. And then where does that leave Valencia? Is Bale comparable to either?

potentialy bale is probably better than both. he would be ahead of nani in the left ring role as i think nani plays better on the right, but also he could provide cover for evra if he got injured. valencia could play in the middle, but i imagine the 3 of them would just rotate the wide positions. not as if there isnt enough games to go around.

Left wing.

Nani or Vallers on the right.

Borsuk made it up.

HTH.

ffs


bale has had three or four good games on the spin, including arsenal and chelsea, which got the media all excited. for most of the season he's been pretty ordinary, and he's not been good in the last few games either. he was crap against us, poor against bolton (?) and nothing special last night.

decent player but that is £#%&!ing daft.


on the evidence of this season nani and valencia are both >>>>>>> bale. and both will improve.

Tosic has looked pretty good on his loan spell too, and has a genuine left foot. £#%&! knows what's going on with him though.

To be fair, whilst I agree with your point about him not being as good as Nani and Vallers yet, Bale has been outstanding for more than a couple of games. His change in form goes back to the turn of the year, previous to that he didn't get much of a look.

He has alot of potential, he has a great cross on him, great pace and can run with the ball as good as most wingers out there. A very good prospect imo.

For me its either Nani or Vallers to, Nani rarely turns it on playing on the left yet is immense everytime he plays on the right.

I wouldn't have Bale ahead of Nani or Toni, no way.

Modric, yes please.

i don't agree about nani not being effective on the left. his turnaround came when he was played on the right, true, but since then he's been equally good on both sides imo.

Re: Ireland. Won't happen, obviously. Even if Alex does like him - as suggested - I doubt City would even entertain selling him to us. Add the fact he's a total psychopath, and it looks very, very unlikely. He's a very good player, though. Would fit in well in a side like ours, if given the right guidance. There would also be something satisfying about crafting one of their ex-players into a top player for us. But never going to happen, imo. More chance of the actual Superman signing, ffs.

2+2 = 357.

£#%&!ing hell journalism is easy these days.

Oh that's right, just repeat what I've been saying for 12 years in a desperate attempt to appear clever.

You disgust me.

Anyway, I've already sorted a song out for him:

My name is Luka
I played down at White Hart Lane
I roomed with Huddlestone
Yes I think he eats all day

If I heard something late at night
Some kind of guzzling, some kind of shite
Just don't ask me what it was
Just don't ask me what it was
Just don't ask me what it was

I think it's because I'm small
I try not to get stuck in
Maybe it's because I'm skillful
I'll help Man United win

When you see Obers play out wide
After that you ask Ferie 'Why?!'
You just don't argue anymore
You just don't argue anymore
You just don't argue anymore

Yes I think I'm okay
I walked into the team again
Well, if you ask that's what I'll say
And it's not your business if Johnny's gay
I guess I'd like to be the one
Winning trophies, my first gong

Just don't ask me how Obers plays
Just don't ask me how Obers plays
Just don't ask me how Foster plays
