[Glen C]

[Modo]

I think we should leave this thread open so every YouTube clip over the next five years can be added to show what we missed out on.

Fuck him I say he will be pissed when we finish higher than spurs that's if he didnt go there for the money if he did he won't care lol.(spurs the small time club with fuck all history compared to us and that's how it will remain always).

 

[OLD_Lewy]

id rather have a future than a history*



*im actually not that pessimist about our season i just thought someone should make the point

 

[the_khl]

Bad news that we didn't get Gylfi, I believe he can become a top player.

[Mamma Mia]

Er.....? Just because the meat and 2 veg have been removed, it doesn't equate to your second sentence. Or have I missed something?

I think you will find that you missed two things.

They might be an unemployed eunoch with anorexia

 

[Mamma Mia]

Insulting and embarrassing? Grow up.

Yep. I didn't think it was insulting at all.

 

[Shadey]

We've got bigger fish to fry than this icecube Mo Fo..

 

[Y1]

At long last it was decided.

 

[Squiggles]

I'm frustrated we missed out him; he looked a decent player and all reports indicated that he was a dedicated professional who has the right attitude to continue to develop as a footballer. Spurs might have got a bargain, but we'll wait and see.

Also, I don't think any less of him for joining Spurs. They finished ahead of us, have a more attacking orientated squad and as Ross rightly points out, they offered more money. Fair enough. Let's move on and sign some even better players.

 

[gkmacca]

I bet he'd do one of those elaborate 'I'm fishing' goal celebrations, and that would be tiresome after a while. If he scored many goals. Which I doubt he will.

 

[localny]

Unfortunately, although it is hard for us all to accept, money is the main driver for players and agents. Not being in the CL means we have to pay a decent wage for any decent prospects. It's great not wanting to be taken for a ride, but what kind of player does that leave you with? A not very good one?

So what's the strategy then? Get unknown prospects in, and pay them little? Short term, we don't have attacking midfielders From the academy ready for the first team ready to slot in.

 

[gkmacca]

I think that's harsh. If the money's not there, Rodgers can't do much about it.

 

[Sunny]

Pfffft. Glad it's done. Time to move on. He's a tidy player but he's no Messi is he ?

 

[Hansern]

Messi Gylfisson

 

[Jack D Rips]

Happy 4th July localny

 

[jan]

He'll join the Mancs in 2-3 years time

 

[SummerOnions]

From what i've heard (not an ITK, just papers etc) we've found several players in the AM mould all just as if not more capable than Sigurdsson. No need to panic anyway, it's the start of fucking July.

 

[dmishra]

And that's absolutely right. No position is as rich as the AM slot for good young players in Europe. There's better than Sigurdsson to be had - I've said that from the start of this transfer saga.

 

[Sunny]

We're still heavily linked with Gaston Ramirez but that's a discussion for another thread for fear of Ross thrashing me to within an inch of my life with his verbal dissatisfaction.

 

[dmishra]

I really don't want Ramirez. He'll flop in England, IMO.

 

[mark1975]

I think that's harsh. If the money's not there, Rodgers can't do much about it.

Quite. Then there's the brackets of wages. He's a young player with potential, if we do finally have a decent structure in place, by giving someone like Gylfi more than we consider he's worthy of at present, then that has a knock on effect on the potential wages for another target.

It's not Football Manager, and of course there has to be some flexibility, but saying no shouldn't automatically mean we've got no flexibility. For all our over paying on Downing last season, we didn't go all out on the lad that joined Sunderland, we made an offer, refused to meet the counter valuation and moved on. The only reason this would piss me off is if we go and do the same now and pay over the odds for some no-mark. Putting everything in perspective, I don't think we've done alot wrong, he's a talented lad who's had a decent season at the top end of the English game, there's a way to go before he's worthy of the hype.

 

[redhorizon2]

NOW CAN WE CLOSE THIS THREAD????

 

[Sunny]

May as well

 

[LeTallecWiz]

May as well

We need to ensure Ross agrees with this before doing it mate - Opened up until Ross confirms.

 

[Oncy]

What?

 

[Rosco]

Burn it !

 

[LeTallecWiz]

No - I'm an anti-burnite. Can we do something more diplomatic?
