Yep. We're getting dragged into this. We have to if we want to challenge.

I wouldn't say dragged, it's not like they forced us to pay £35 Million for Carroll. We could have waited. I think they would have accepted around £20 Million.
 
I was generally speaking.
We wanted him badly to replace Torres. They did not want to sell. Time was running with the transfer window closing. We forced them to sell with this crazy offer.

£15m Would be my highest offer. Take it or leave it I say
[/quote]Why are you gowannin on like a chief?
Is this some kind of fucked up way of them making the signing of Stewart cunting Downing seem palatable?
'12m'
'NO' - Fans say pheeeeew

'We want 30m'
'NO' - Fans say what the fuck!!

'We'll give you 15m'
'Ok' - Fans say what a bargain that is!!

Its fucking not! He's shite and i wouldnt pay 1.5m for him.

Fifteen million!!? Wind yer neck in wabmeister!
 
We just paid 20 for a foetus with a shit haircut and we've stated a policy of buying young English players. Of course they're going to want fuckloads for him. It's not City or Chelsea's fault.

Yeah, I heard that interview. It's quite promising but I'd rather we skip to phase 2 instead and get Mata etc.
 
Re: Re: Downing

Who says were not going to buy mata as well? I think Henderson will play through the middle when Gerrard /ming gets broken again

There Is no way they would let us walk away having offered 12m for his services. 15m my arse. Move on Kenny
 
If we sign the most talked up signings of the window so far:
Dann
Mata
Henderson
Adam
Downing
Clichy

Our best team next year will have improved in one position
Reina
Flanagan
Skrtel
Carragher
Johnson
Lucas
Meireles
Gerrard
Suarez
Mata
Kuyt/Carroll

That lot is going to cost us about 60 to 70m to improve ONE position.
Maybe you could argue that Clichy is better than Flanagan or Dann better than Skrtel but its inches not miles.
70m to replace Maxi with Mata.
I hope there be more smokescreens than a motherfucker going up.
What a bunch of uninspiring gash.
 
Henderson will do well oncy, he'll play more as the season progresses and Gerrard/ming/anyone in the midfield picks up an injury. Which they will

*glares at gerrard*

I'm quite happy with his purchase
 
On the other hand, when injuries bite, or when we're deep into games and need a sub or two to spark something, that 60m - 70m will not just be improving one position, but every position, while maintaining closer to the standard of the first team.

Arguable if Johnson is better than Clichy at LB and better at Kelly at RB; let's just go with Johnson and Clichy to start, though I think Kelly ought to be a starter - but let's go with experience for now. I've no idea about Skrtel v Dann.

Now look at this:

Reina, Johnson, Carra, Skrtel, Clichy, Lucas, Gerrard, Ming, Mata, Suarez, Kuyt (solid first 11)
subs: <GK>, Dann, Kelly, Adam, Henderson, Downing, Carroll (solid bench)
subs of the subs: Flanagan, Robinson, Shelvey, Spearing, Maxi

Assuming Henderson pans out, then that bench is miles better than what we've had in the last 2 seasons, and actually has players at every position who isn't there to make up the numbers.

Most of the names aren't edge of the seat types but I think they'll improve a couple of starting spots, actually help the team off the bench, and offer capable back-ups over a season.

edit: Having said all that, we shouldn't spend more than 18m on Adam and Downing (edit: down from 20m originally; failed my maths there)

15 quid would be mine for the fucker.
 
He's marginally better than Jermaine 'I'm a statistically boss crosser' Pennant and we wasted £7 million on him. £15 million on Downing would be a massive waste of money. Fuck that.
 
You can't polish a turd.... i fucking hate Downing even though he has personally done nothing wrong at all and doesn't deserve it.... shat all day long, all day every day shat.

Just cack.

Cacky shat.

Shatty cack.

Cack.

Solid bench! The most expensive bench in history would be another way of putting it.
