Fat Sam has downing it again - Super Stu signs for West Ham

[gkmacca]

I'm not worried about Suarez' exit but rather his replacement as its proving a difficult task to bring in really top talent.

But we have people who aren't crap at identifying and bringing in players, so relax.

Feels kinda empty now.

Gotta love Big Sam.

He loves us as well. £5m for Downing is a bargain, if Downing was playing for another club he would of gone for £7- £8m. He got more than a 25% discount for carroll from the once agreed £19m.

Carragher and Downing.......are YOU John Henry?

If I was I'd sign Eriksen by the end of this week.

 

[LeTallecWiz]

He finally delivered on the goals and assists we expected when he was bought

I would have rather we got 5-7 goals, 10 assists PER season at minimum from a 20 million purchase. How about you?

You throw enough darts then you're bound to hit the fucking board eventually.

Yep but when the 1 dart is the jackpot prize then you won't be as fussed bout the rest plus your Maths are shit

 

[Piedro]

LOL

 

[Gary25]

Good move for all parties. Big Sam might just get the best of Downing.

Got a feeling we could go back in for Tom Ince with the Downing money.

Ooof...
"@MrBoywunder: Andy Carroll & Stewart Downing have cost the club £70.2m (wages + fee)."

They've recouped us £24 million as well, but the point remains.

The identification is not the issue dear Sir, its the actual acquisition which seems rather problematic at this point.

 

[gkmacca]

I thought the 'bringing in' bit covered acquisition.

Ambiguity is put to bed then. 😀

I can only presume we're letting Downing go if we've lined up a replacement. Costa? Erikson?

Or Ibe.

 

[gkmacca]

Ever since Kewell we've been obsessed with having players down the right who cut in to cross or shoot on the left, but I hope Ibe isn't forced into that role. He's much, much, more dangerous when he plays on the left.

But Ibe is right footed, so isn't he effectively playing that role only on the left??

 

[peekay]

Has he written a farewell letter to fans yet

 

[gkmacca]

He's two-footed but has always said he prefers his left. He's just much more direct and aggressive on the left.

 

[BlitzAce]

Will be glad to see the back of him, let's hope there's a video of Eriksen kicking a ball into dust bins so Ayre will sign him as quick as he signed this cunt!

Ayre doesn't sign players, it's a transfer comm...

Sorry, almost fell asleep there.

Dear LFC fans, sorry I was pretty much shit the whole time I was at Liverpool. I won't forget you while I'm at Barca.

 

[keniget]

What's the fee?

 

[LeTallecWiz]

What's the fee?

5

[gkmacca]

Sky said about 8m.
