Transfer Thread

[BleedMe]

Is Sven just signing from FM now? First you had that Boijnov, now Corluka and i'm fairly certain I had that Elano.

[The Kraig]

Maybe Sven works for SI as a scout? It would explain why he went to all those games without it helping England much.

Man U stick Ronaldo up there, and also have Solskjaer.

And Liverpool have Crouch.

I only included 'proper' quality strikers and I do not believe Crouch any good and Ole is getting on and probably won't play more than ten times this year. That's why I also didn't include United's Dong cause he appears to be useless

[fineintent]

Crouch is better than Smith. Viduka is class though.

Clearly, nothing compares to Berbatov, Keane, Bent and Defoe.

Now if the rest of the team bothers playing...

[Liam]

McBride, Healy, Kamara, John and possibly O'Donovan.

Clearly, we win >_>

Crouch is is quality for the simple fact he is something different, i find it hard to believe also that he can be slagged off, his goal scoring record speaks for it's self last season and internationally and i doubt many up field players have got a better touch then him, he shows how skillful he is at times.

Darren Bent will be up front with Rooney this year though for England. Hopefully he gets a chance.

Chelsea can also throw up Kalou. If Drogba scores like he did last year, Shevchenko finds consistancy, which i hope he does and Pizzaro shows the class he has shown for Bayern Munich, i think he has scored something like 100 goals in 240 Bundesliga games altogether. Chelsea will have the strikers to watch. If not, Spurs, easily.

Smith will turn out to be the worst buy of the season, 6 mill is an awful lot of money for somebody that has played as little football as he has in the last two years? All he brings to Newcastle is a hot head who needs to be watched, Alan Smith has been shit since before he left Leeds.

I believe, not 100% sure that Tevez is now a Man United player.

Edit: In regards to the post below, he maybe taking it a bit far LOL.

I agree on the Crouch font, he's a decent striker with some very good footwork. His autobiography title's a bit of a stretch though, 'Super Striker'? Pfft.

[Thomas]

Alan Smith is easily worth £6m.

[ONO]

No he isn't. He's a bit player now.

[The Kraig]

He's worth £6m to Sam Allardyce, so I trust he knows what he's doing. He was a great player, but he's not really proven he's as good after his injury, but he's still young. He was part of the team that arsefucked Roma though, that was the most entertaining one-sided game ever. So there is hope.

Newcastle might fit Smith better than Man United, he should have less competition for a place in the team (or the bench). It's just a shame he missed out on so much of his career from that injury.

[new_era]

How much of that you think went to Allardyce

Alan Smith can still play a stormer if necessary. Where is King Ellis to defend him when necessary >_>

[King Ellis]

Hello.

Fees aren't really relevant nowadays. David Nugent went for 6m and he was a Division 1 player. Smith has Champions League and England experience. Personally I think he did well for Man U at the tail end of last season and seemed to get a few assists. He has a fantastic workrate, versatitlt and if he can hit it off with Viduka again there is potential there.

Newcastle sign Cacapa and agree deal for Jose Enrique

Anyone know anything about Enrique? (wikipedia does'nt tell me much)

I know he is a pretty good player but that's about it.

[Guest Ringy Gainsbourg]

He's good, especially when you consider that in each match I saw him play he not only did a good left back role but he covered for Pascal Cygan

[King Ellis]

Heh, all the newspapers seem to have sports headlines of "Sven hasn't even seen new signings play"

It's all falling into place now isn't it?

[Guest mAXi]

He's most certainly using Football Manager.

[Thomas]

Beattie has moved to Sheffield United for £4m.

.

[King Ellis]

Now, if we're talking about extortinate fees...right there. Hasn't he not scored in open play for like 2 years or something?
