The Blue & Yellow ITK Bonanza Thread

[Gutter Boy]

Why is the club bringing in a DoF who knows nothing about players? Seems a bit idiotic.

Yep

C Zanetti
Walter Samuel
Cassano
De Rossi
Chivu
Mexes
Batistuta
Guardiola
Panucci
Montella
Gago
Higuain
Cannavaro
Van Nistelrooy
Pjanic
Osvaldo
Lamela

All terrible signings...

The only way it makes sense is if it means Baldini isn't up to speed on who we're pursuing at the moment or lacks knowledge about our current squad.

JJetset really isn't someone you pay much attention to any longer. Far too much of an agenda.

Or Sherwood has been busy lining up Aubameyang, Eriksen and Ince (say), and Baldini has turned up, said he doesn't rate any of them and wants Paulinho, Bernard and Leandro instead?

i prefer that 3 tbh, and im guessing Levy would too from a financial point of view

There's nothing to choose between the two groups. In fact i would be more inclined to pick the first batch of 3 if pressed.

you'd turn down 3 Brazilian internationals for a group which contains Tom Ince

 

[Mumorn]

Both have midfielders we don't need (Eriksen, Paulinho). First has a better striker in Auba. Second has the better attacking wide player in Bernard. But I'd agree with indianspurs and kd.. I think I'd be more inclined to pick the first list. I think it'd actually be cheaper too.

The point was more about there being a difference of opinion causing a rift, rather than making a judgement.

Though in terms of a track record of picking young players who go on to become genuinely world class, I know who I'd back.

I have no idea whether we want Damiao anymore, but regardless I really do think some of you are underestimating him..

Baldini has got a good track record for sure. But you have to start somewhere and you won't know how good Sherwood is until he actually signs players. Let's not forget how highly regarded he is at the club, must be a good reason for that....

I don't care about nationality tbh and from the little i've seen, the only one that brings something 'new' to our team would be Bernard. I would certainly pick Aubameyang over Leandro that's for damn sure.

Tbh i took into consideration how much each group would cost us but the Brazilians would probably win 2 players to 1 in terms of who i would take.

Why wouldn't Paulinho bring anything new to our team? I don't see where all our Frank Lampard type CMs are?

that's fair enough

Why would we not need Eriksen? I get your point with Paulinho but I certainly won't be disappointed if we do sign him but I don't see the Eriksen logic.

Sigurdsson...it's not his fault he's not being played in that position.

Eriksen plays best just behind the striker right? we have a certain Welsh footballer playing in that role.

Re: Jjetset, I'm pretty sure he used to post on the OzSpurs forums. He also follows me on twitter. What that means...I've no idea.

In what position? Think Sig's best position is behind the striker, Paulinho is more of an all round CM ie competing in the positions of Sandro, Dembele, Parker all of whom contribute next to nothing in terms of goals....

That he spends far too much time on the internet to actually be in the know about anything?

Maybe he is the guy on the bt infinity ads?

Many expect Bale will be playing from the right next season though. Eriksen I've seen play at the tip of a midfield three, as a #10 and as a left forward. He'd have been a very good signing and I'm sure he will be for Dortmund.
