[NOT HAPPENING] Vicente Iborra

In goal probably.

 

Won't need to do much to my Ibarbo shirt.. yes from me

 

Probably not, but he just needs time to adjust to the Premiership right? Actually, he just needs a full pre-season under his belt then he'll be ready to go.

 

I can recall them. Both legends.

 

This one has gone all quiet. Anybody heard anything especially now big Sam is showing interest?

 

Consider it pie in the sky...unlikely we were ever interested.

 

I heard we might still be interested but might have been the voices in my head. Or the wind.

 

The voices in GoingDown's head are relaxed about the prospect of a deal

 

I'd be surprised if it wasn't the voices. Just make you sure you get help when they tell you to kill.

 

Surest sign yet he's coming, which, if this is the surest sign, means he's not coming.

 

In which case we will be buying Richard Griffiths and Maggie Steed!

 

Well a now defunct Richard Griffiths would provide more movement.

(RIP Richard Griffiths)

 

Dunno why you are being so nice about him when he used to lock children under the stairs.

 

A minor obstacle I believe given Troy and Iggy's form,but yes RIP Richard.

 

Ok that made me giggle.

 

True but Harry was a crack addict, it was for his own good

*DISCLAIMER* I have no evidence to back this claim up.

 

Must be getting on a bit now but are his bunions fixed ?

 

Scored twice today I see. How we could do with his presence in the middle.

 

It would have been a hatrick of the third one wasn't in his own net.

 

West Ham can have him

 

Mario Suarez all over again

 

Lol, what? Have you ever seen Iborra play?

 

Yes, plenty of times actually. 2 years ago I would have jumped at the chance. This past season he was nowhere near the heights he previously hit. On top of that, he will be turning 30 this season. So we don't need to be signing him.

 

Hes a very decent player would have been an awesome signing 2 years ago maybe even last season, but he wants a 3+ year contract at the age of 32.

We ve still got another 3 years of paying Suarez 50k a week.

Thats what I was referring to.


EDIT my mistake he s only 29.5. In that case I think it could be worth a risk as long hes up to the nature of the English game.

 

The only way I see this happening is if we have truly given up on both Lemina and Allan.

My concern with him is his age, willingness to give 100% and not treating his next club as a last day pay check. People will say that is not his personality and he is a leader. Personally I would see this move as a Suarez mark II. However if we sign him and he finds his form again he would be a good addition. I just don't see it happening though.

 

No but I bin on there forams n ver fans fink his a bit of a melt

 

Finds his form? He played 44 times last season for a team that finished 5th in La Liga and made the last 16 of the Champions League as well as being captain multiple times.

 

Don't worry about his age, ability or personality he is a top player. However pretty sure he is nailed on for Wet Spam. Iborra would not come cheap at the best of times and Gino won't venture into a bidding war. Let's move on to our 4th or 5th target. Coyhs!

 

Guidioura might be available

 

Gone to Leicester.

 

Fixed - for forum consistency

 

Good news for us. That takes them out of the running for Chalobah leaving it between us and Swansea, if reports are to be believed.

£12.5mil on a near 30yr old who has never played in the Prem before or Chalobah, who will cost something similar, with Prem experience and roughly 8 years younger, much more value for money in my opinion.

 

But they turned out alright. Maybe we should do that with all kids.

 

On this basis Chalobah would also be better buy than Messi.
