Nets + New Jersey = Rossi?

Devils... I hope isn't who I think it is.

Vidal would be fantastic if we were linked with him, would definitely have him over Lass.

Don't be suprised to see one of Eriksen, Pjanic or Mata waltzing around the lodge by deadline day :beer:

Leverkusen are willing to listen to foreign bids for Vidal. Put it this way he can pass and tackle...

Should be our #1 target even over a forward, because he's that fucking good. But at 11 million we can't afford him. Harry and Levy wouldn't be able to pull him off with Roman's reserves they're so cheap and stupid

If the Rodallega link to Villareal is true, maybe they are already preparing for the departure of Rossi? Villareal arent a rich club and selling Rossi for 30m and getting Rodallega for 10m would be good business for them.

Vidal would be awesome but his agent has already said he wants a move to Juve.

If Rossi and Vidal were to go to Juve id be pissed as although they are a historic club, they are not even in Europe. :bang:

Diarra and Rossi would be amazing....

It really is starting to look like Defoe and Keane are the two to leave, well Keane was always going to be nailed on pretty much.

Chelsea's tactics make no sense to me. They've accomplished the possiblity of him leaving, but after these low ball offers, to an overseas club.

But isn't this the kind of tactics Levy is famous for. I'm not knocking Levy, just saying, he's renowned for this drip drip negotiating and has been accused of making derisory offers for players previously.

Harry said even if he were for sale...22 million would be a joke.

Nothing wrong with that whatsoever.

What he said was "If they are going to make an improved offer, I would think they need to. Twenty-two million pounds for Luka Modric would be a joke if he was for sale.
"He is the most fantastic footballer, so the offer is a joke in terms of how much money they have offered and"

Can you not see the problem with that. He qualifies it afterwards with

"most importantly of all, obviously we need to keep him."

But there is a very strange mixed message in there. Why stop and talk about at all, and then why not just tow a party line "he's not for sale and no bids are welcome as he's a fantastic footballer and we want to keep him" or something along those lines.


Leandro still a possibility but in January. Inter didnt want to sell him in this transfer window even before he signed the contract so it doesnt make much difference on the situation. Leandro not a priority at the moment as Levy knows we are desperate for a top striker. People need to just be patient and remember this is not Football Manager... Palacios is in talks with 2 different clubs right now and should be sold by the end of next week latest...Shame to see him go but he was never the same since the unfortunate incident with his Brother..Diarra bid went in today

Diarra would be an acceptable swap for Palacios.

Lassie not the only one

Nets
Devils


Have we figured this out ?

Anyone know if the new Barca kid fitted the 4 goat cryptic's ?

As already said, nets and devils is clearly Rossi...

NJ Nets and NJ Devils.

I like Original 10's chat, is he relatively new ? Always posts very briefly, and never replies, very mysterious

Oh yeah, what happened to Mystery ?

Gomes
Kaboul Dawson Gallas

Sandro

Huddlestone Diarra

Lennon VDV Bale

New Striker

Yes it would be a radical new formation but it could be very good

Could you clarify something for me please.

Do you actually know something and just haven't got round to verifying your credentials with the people that run this site so that it can be taken seriously?

Or are you just prone to making enigmatic statements that don't necessarily mean anything at all?

Not saying I think one or the other..it's just that with so many try-hard ITKs about that really know nothing, it would be nice to clear this up once and for all.

New Jersey Nets / New Jersey Devils has to be Rossi, anything else would have to have been intentionally disingenuous.

Ceballos is a free youth signing and I think the goat's cryptic all referred to possible serious strikers we were looking at.

Good that were starting to move, although Diarra and Rossi wouldn't be my first choices, they would be decent signings of players who would/might come to us, and paying a net £15M or so to replace Palacios (Diarra a small upgrade) and Defoe (Rossi a big upgrade) with them wouldn't be bad. I'd still like a #9 and a creative and/or fast winger...and another creative midfielder if Modric leaves :(

No thanks on Samba, we already have two CBs that fill that role (Dawson and Kaboul) and both are better.
