Summer transfer thread, AvB window wrap up pg 1527

:lol: Age old argument I've had on GG for over a decade. It's Hoddle deja vu all over again (we need to drop Sheringham, Poyet and Anderton and play McEwan, Davies and Etherington as they're the future! - ah, the good old days :lol: )

Actually with me it is not a case of who we drop but rather who we bring in.

You have to leave an opening for youth to prove whether they are good enough or not.
It's also financially sane as someone that isn't quite good enough for us will have gotten experience and recognition, making it possible to sell said player in stead of just releasing him.

I think Levy hates signing anyone over the age of 28.

Plus younger players are 'generally' paid less as they haven't yet proved themselves.


Resale value all the way.

He's quite happy to sign older players on free transfers or for small fees.

Graham Roberts has just stated on the radio that his sources into the club have informed him that the AVB deal will be announced within the next 2 days together with details of "Arab investment" into the club

Graham Roberts lives on another planet though usually.

That he may do but both of those are rumours well heard over the last few weeks so he could be right.

 

[NaijaSpurs]

That may be the case and it may be complete fiction but he has nothing to gain by telling porkies. Besides within 48 hours we will know either way

That as well

 

[NaijaSpurs]

I wonder who is going to win the race to start that AVB thread?

 

[NaijaSpurs]

He also indicated that Bale only signed the new contract because he was told there was going to be new investment on players

 

[spurspinter1]

Seedorf official to Botafoga, I'm a little bit disappointed knowing we'll never see him in the premier league but I guess also relieved slightly in case it didn't work out...

Interesting. Seems like a great prospect, but how many Russians have come to England and been successful? Pav? Arshavin? Zhirkov?

No thank you.

Who: rebrab
When: 1/7/12
where: SC

Someone is about to sign on the dotted line. Perhaps with their own brand of pen

?

 

[Rossi22]

It's either that or Vertonghen - who for some reason SC have nicknamed Beryl(Berol).
