Summer 2015 Non-Spurs Transfers

[225]

Not necessarily a transfer, but Sebastien Bassong has just signed a new contract at Norwich.

Feels like he's been around forever, and ages since he played for us. AND he's only 29.

More like Benjamin Bassong

There's no point in using a forum if everyone just rates an opinion/thought without debating it.

When someone "dislikes" a post that is just based on a fleetingly inoffensive opinion (i.e. "I wouldn't be too bothered if") then it comes across quite strongly. For someone to feel so negatively towards the matter must mean they have a strong opinion on it. Why not take the time to type it? I'm hardly taking it "seriously", tagging people and kicking off at them - I'm addressing people who can't be arsed typing.

As for Balotelli, as I explained in my post "he's a talented and passionate player". No footballer should ever be happy to be substituted, and you shouldn't judge a player's character negatively for his desire to stay on the field.

For such a terrible person, he's shown the right attitude towards how he's been treated the whole time he's been at Liverpool - not heard any complaints or blame thrown around by him despite his lack of playing time and the way he's been treated?

I clicked disagree on your post because I read it and then decided that I didn't agree with what you said. Balotelli has been awful on the pitch for pool, woefully bad

So have 90% of the signings they've made in the last 5 years, but it doesn't make them bad players.

Rodgers wouldn't know what to do with a good player if he had one - probably why Suarez couldn't wait to bugger off, and Sturridge has been "Michael Owen"'d by the medical staff.

Sturridge has always been injury prone. The medical and coaching staff clearly haven't tailored a programme to keep him fit. More fool them.

Suarez is probably the only forward to escape Anfield without being a cripple though.

They should amend the gates as prior warning...

I think most people had overlooked City this summer, Chelsea just seem to be the natural selection due to not losing anyone and bringing it a few replacements that were just as good as what they had.

If City do get Otamendi and De Bruyne though, they will take some stopping BUT can they do anything in the Champions League? They need to start performing better in that considering the money they have spent.

Good news on Kovacic...maybe that will push the Illaramendi deal through quicker...

I believe they are making the signings of that , magnitude for a decent push in Europe and to have unbelievable squad rotation options for the league. Spending 150 million on three players is a big statement, and arguably better business than their neighbours have done over the past two windows bar Depay so far, so they must be pushing for the league plus a cup and a good run in Europe.

Interesting comments from a Belgian correspondent on de Bruyne today, said he is better than Eden Hazard and he outperforms Hazard for the national team

Destro has gone to Bologna now and has rejected the 6 fingered bunch

£700k loan fee with a further £6.3m to make the deal permanent, reportedly

He's probably getting paid in Bolognese, sure that would have tempted him.

No clubs staff staff would have kept him fit. He has (hopefully had after this new fangled surgery he's had in Boston) fundamental injury problems that no amount of preventative treatment could've healed. Also a huge part of the problem with Daniel is mental. He won't play unless he feels 100% fit and ready. He was exactly the same at Chelsea. Its nothing to do with LFC's Coaching or Medical Staff.

Jesus. You do realise that each LFC Manager has had lots of different medical and Sports Science staff. The people who treated Torres (and fucked him up) left in 2011. Besides Torres theres no other player that has been damaged by LFC medical staff. The problem has been with them, e.g. Andy Carroll.

I stand corrected....

Hmmmmm...... I think you need to check again.

Allegedly from what i hear ur coaching staff are not doing things other clubs would.

Also you dont know about our medical staff and im sure from what i hear they would be able to keep him able to play more games as his injury is similar to another player who we have had. Our medical and coaching staff work very closely and make sure we always do whats best for the long term fitness.
Allegedly some staff at other clubs want players to play when not ready and could have consequences.

IMO most managers and pretty much every manager who is facing the chop tbh

Simply not true anymore. I have changed the wording but Yes back a few years ago alot of coaches would do it but not now. There is fit to play (where is not fully fit but will need to be subbed but not alot of risk) and there is not fit to play this game and if you play them it could mean is out for extra weeks and could have long term consequences.

Whilst true in the PL, more and more managers are getting aware. In the football league I don't think it has changed a lot especially the lower leagues.

Also if you consider that most managers are happy to let players decide and imo players are just as guilty for wrongly say yes when they aren't 100%. I myself am guilty of that and my knee problems today are the results of me just wanting to play football

Destro has joined Bologna by the way.

I suspect they lured him with tales of spaghetti and the promise that half his salary will be made up of pasta sauce.

Good effort pal, good effort, but I think you'll find you're a few hours too late on the pasta puns
