£6mill bid supposedly.

In your opinion, is that a decent offer for this lad?

 

[tdk101]

I remember that he went on a strike during summer transfer period when someone made a bid and Sporting held firm.

I'd say it's on the Levy side of reasonable.

 

[Kaboul'sForehead]

Along with his physical power and heading ability, his fitness level and 100% energy are his best strengths.

Although if these are the attributes we are after I would perhaps rather go for the monster that is Artem Dzyuba who is the same age (26). Power, pace, giant of a man (6ft4), stamina, shooting, heading: made for the Prem. Although likely high wage earner.

I literally know nothing about this player but this is the type of signings we should be aiming for. The big clubs don't take enough risks on transfers that may or may not work out. Bony tore up the Eredivisie but no big club took a risk on him. Benteke was playing well in Belgium. The big clubs can't take risks on these type of players as they need players to make an immediate impact.
We can't compete with the big spenders in the league, so ultimately we may need to take a few more risks in the market on unearthed talent. Extensive scouting and with the use of a decent 'black box', we should be taking decent risks.

And we don't?

I have absolutely no clue about this kid. I am only re-posting stuff I see on NewsNow that has not been noticed by somebody else. But IMO we WILL sign a striker this January.

Is this the guy that ripped Mertesacker a new arsehole in the World Cup?

 

[thinktank]

For the name alone.

Yep, so on that basis a lone I SAY BUY HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i think the arabic pronounciation would sound like Slee-maan-ee .. fantastic song possibilities.

 

[Atomic Flea]

And we don't?

Well we aren't a regular CL side and don't have the same amount of pressure as the likes of City and Chelsea. We can be afforded a season or two to bleed some players in. In Lamelas case, if Chelsea/City signed him and he performed the same as he is for us, then he'd probably have been shipped out by now. Whereas we can give players time.

..and i never get players names on shirts.. but it would be quite funny to walk round in the lilywhite with Islam written on the back..

Unless someone changes it to semen something you know it will happen.

No, and I can't see Sporting accepting anything in that region for him either.

Unless they happen to be strikers—especially strikers who cost upward of £20m.

Though Soldado is still being supported by a majority of our fans, so technically we are giving him time to try change his fortunes ...

 

[Spurslove]

Is it me, or are we making bids for a number of players at the moment and hoping one or two will come off, and are we going to get buggered if they all say yes before we've sold off enough of our existing squad in the first place?
