Really surprised no-one else is in for Byram. If reports are true and that Everton are talking to him after Leeds accepted a bid of £3mil then I must say I am slightly disappointed we haven't made an effort. Supposedly West Ham and Newcastle are looking to hijack the deal. Would love for us to make an effort.
They're different types of wingers - why not both? Or leave it to QSF to stare in to their eyes and judge which would be the most motivated.
http://m.tuttoudinese.it/esclusive/esclusiva-tu-quagliarella-si-ma-prima-al-watford-e-poi-38158 Udinese have been after Quagliarella for a while but this suggests we could get him as our backup striker for the rest of the season before he goes to Udinese to replace Di Natale.
Tell you what, watching the Sheff Wed v Leeds game, I've been impressed with Souleymane Doukara. Two good feet, pacey and strong and only 24.
Torino must be better at bribing refs than their neighbours Juventus as he must have been scoring a penalty every other game he's on the pitch, as he's got 19 goals in 40 odd appearances in the past 18 months. At 32 he's past his best but as back up he would be excellent. I really hope our support haven't got to the stage where they're turning their nose up at guy who has 35 caps for Italy , sitting on our bench.
Well considering Quique is looking to the future (hence once of the reasons they withdrew their interest in Adebayor), then Quagliarella is not the answer. I watch alot of Italian football and I would be underwhelmed with him, and won't apologise if that offends your sensibilities.
Not really Cheeks. Dybala is the closest to Messi in ability. Ocampos is a big strong player but technically very gifted and was compared more to Ronaldo. A hard running winger who could cut in and score goals. I think we should put a bid in for him. He has all the tools to be a top level footballer, he is still young and he brings excitement to the pitch.
Perfect for back up till end if the season, not for long term , was the point I was making , Gags . And at a goal every other game I would contest that he's not past it . No one has asked you to apologise nor have you offended my sensibilities , but thank you for your sensitive concern .
Wasn't sure where to put this but Udinese have reportedly just signed Kuzmanovic. Could possibly mean Budu is coming here? Or I could be clutching at straws.
I saw that Napoli are trying to do a deal to sign Badu in the summer. Udinese might just be getting cover in early.
Whilst we're supposedly pursuing a Swedish midfielder... Pontus Wernbloom. Would love to let him loose on the Premier League.
gary cahill wants out of chelsea - worth a cheeky £15m bid edit - just realised he's 30 so no chance paying that much, but i'll leave this here anyway
A new RB . A Nyom that can cross and pass or a Parades that can defend . I don't have any suggestions .
Does any team have FB's that are equally good at attacking & defending? They are always good at one or the other, rarely both
What is your standard comparative measurement to define equal ? A cm is roughly equal to half an inch. But to a single cell amoebae, the differing distance is a fxcking journey from hell. Until you answer that question satisfactorily, it is impossible for me to answer your original question.
What about Mathieu Debuchy, could he do a job for us? Arsenal want to off load him and he is desperate to get game time. Is he the mix of our two existing RB's that we have been looking for?
Davide Santon has been linked with Loan moves to Westham & Norwich... Surely if he's available we would be interested again..
Don't really need him anymore. Two good left backs and we have Nyom and Paredes at right back. I'm not the biggest fan of Paredes but Quique likes him. And on top of that Anya can do a job on either side.
Perotti on one wing, Arambat on the other, Suarez and Capoue in the middle, Deeney and Ighalo up top. Proper old fashioned 4 4 2 with wingers and big men up top.
