Eddie Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 IMO this guy would be perfect as our creative midfielder. There are reports that Sunderland are interested and the price is around ?4m which for me seems very cheap. I know there is the arguement of coming up North, but if he is willing to go to Sunderland (which he might not be for all I know) then he is willing to go anywhere. There are a lot of if's and but's, but for me I would be very dissapointed if he ended up going to somewhere like Sunderland and we hadn't tried to sign him.

We tried for him a couple of years back. Apparently three of the four Spurs palyers Sunderland were after have told them to stick it. We should defo have a go for him.

Mounts Kipper Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Malbranque not interested in going to sunderland if reports today are to be believed, at that price we should at least give it a whirl, also I like Tanio, he is a work horse with plenty of experience and would be a valuable squad player, chimbonda is a willie mackay mercenary so would not be interested in him, not sure about kaboul.

Tainio is extremely underrated. Just a shame he's a bit injury prone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traf Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 SSN yesterday Fair enough, seen it myself now. Good player, but a bit lightweight IMO. Perhaps the deal is: if you take Malbranque, you have to have the cheating mard-arse French tw?t Chimbonda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Durden Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 40,000 fans every week and an incredibly wealthy consortium behind the club More money than we can pay that's why he's going there, same as Diouf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Zico Posted July 30, 2008 Moderators Share Posted July 30, 2008 (edited) 40,000 fans every week and an incredibly wealthy consortium behind the club More money than we can pay that's why he's going there, same as Diouf and a manager who seems to be allowed to throw good money after bad and one who seems to think all he needs to do is just buys players, shout at them in the dressing room, and they'll play (i.e. not trying to build a team, just buying "good" players and sticking them in together and see what happens) it won't last I hope Edited July 30, 2008 by ZicoKelly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweep Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 The kind of money that Keane is spending on transfer fees and also no doubt on wages, I they must be gearing up for european qualification on a regular basis. If they just avoide relegation again as they did last year, then I would expect questions will be asked. As Zico says, he seems to be buying good players, as opposed to building a good team, he's also signed a couple of potential sulky grumpy b'stards as well in Diouf and Chimonda. I doubt that Keane can keep spenind at the rate he is doing year in, year our with at least an FA Cup to show for it. If you take the top 4 clubs out of the equation, I'll bet he's spent double what anybody else has in the last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boltimore Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 We are getting left behind in the transfer market - Fulham have signed another today. Ful and Sund are buying alot but at least if they get injuries they will be ok but we will be in a mess. We missed the boat when we were in the top 8 and should have pushed on. We now have to accept that we will struggle to compete in the transfer market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
