  1. I wouldn't want us to sign Ince. I don't like his attitude and he seems to think that he is a lot better than he actually is. He is a okayish player but I think he would be better off at a top 10 team, not a team challenging for top 4.
  2. Rodwell knew when he signed for City that he wouldn't be playing week in week out. That was his decision though not Moyes, we decided to sell him, I still think it was a good decision. 12 million for a player who kept getting injured. I also agree he had loads of potential to become a good player but injuries have hampered that progress and I don't think he will ever be a player that he was destined to be now. Unfortunately it is like that in football though, look at Owen Hargreaves, Jonathan Woodgate. Great players but kept getting injured. Woodgate moved to Madrid and got injured, it was a year until he started playing regularly. I just think if we got Rodwell it would be a mistake, I do think he is a good player no doubt in my eyes about that, just he is plagued with injuries. Which is a shame.
  3. So they bought him for 8 million and then sent him back to St Etienne? He hasn't kicked a ball for Athletico then? Doubt they would sell him for a cut price but I would take him on loan and see how he gets on. Gibson might not be fit next season and would be good backup if we got Barry.
  4. Anyway, I like Lukaku and I think he isn't a player who will let his head drop and lose confidence. He will consistently score 15+ goals a season and that to me is good.
  5. I would take Bony in a heartbeat but if I had a choice between Lukaku and Bony and they were worth the same price I would pick Lukaku every day of the week. Lukaku is only going to get better and scoring 65 goals in competitive leagues is something really impressive. 19 - WBA. 16 - Everton and the how ever many he scored for Chelsea and Anderlecht.
  6. You can't beat Ant & Decs England song though! ;-)
  7. I would love to see him an Everton but can't see it happening myself. Spurs wouldn't sell a player like that to a rival. Besides I can see him fitting into Pochettino's plans.
  8. I can't see there being any truth in the rumor. I would be absolutely gutted if we got rid of him. Such a workhorse in midfield and gets the team going. You can tell when he isn't in the team thats for sure.
  9. Lukaku is a decent footballer but he does lack some attributes. Pros: Strong - can hold a ball up and wait for support. Quick - runs like hell and with his strength defenses struggle. Finish - his finish is good and he knows where the net is to shoot. Cons: Passing - the amount of times we were on the counter and he gave it to the opposition. Touch - when he does get the ball most of the time his touch is terrible it will go 2-3 feet in front of him. Jumping - for a big fella I don't see him jump much.
  10. What a joke! Toure is loved by City fans and that should be enough but instead he is wanting more money and has 3 years left on his contract! If I was City and he was being like this I would have a word and if he doesn't listen then let his contract run down on the bench/reserves. I do think he is a brilliant player and to be on the bench/reserves would be a waste but at the end of the day if he is being like this then why not!? He disrupted the Barcelona camp and got sold and now he is doing the same at City. I used to like the player even as a person but gone off him completely.
  11. I will always remember the flick on he did for Jelavic in the Spurs game though! ;-)
  12. I think he could have been something at Everton if he tried harder. He just didn't seem bothered that he was on the bench and not playing. When Lukaku was out injured he put Mirallas up front and Vellios on the bench. What does that say!? To me he didn't try hard enough for the team.
  13. He will sign a new 2 year contract and he will probably know that he is surplus to requirements. He is good backup if Coleman, Stones get injured. I do like Hibbert though always have and have always thought he is a class defender.
  14. Never seen him play for Woking so can't comment. You can only think Martinez did that to give Robles and the young goalkeeper a go instead.
  15. Good player but is hit with injuries. I don't think Spurs would sell him to a rival either. Especially as we finished above them this season.
  16. In a heartbeat. I think we should say loan deal and give an option after that of 10-15 million to buy and see what Chelsea say
  17. I know which one I would trust more in defense. Distin has been solid this season and Sakho.....WTF!?
  18. John Stones on the stand by list as well. Liverpool have 5 players in the England squad. What would your England squad be against Italy? ---Hart---- Johnson---Jags---Cahill--Baines Gerrard Lallana Sterling Barkley Rooney Sturridge
  19. I can only say what I know about him from watching MOTD but he looks a okay player and if we could get him for 4-8mil I would take it. I doubt Villa would take that anyway! Will probably be in 8.5 - 13.5 mil. If N'Zogbia is worth 9.5mil then Weimann has to be worth in that region too.
  20. I never seen him play but if Moyes believed in him that much do you not think we would have bought him!? Didn't we send him back in the end as well or was he recalled?
  21. The new crest has grown on me a bit now. I didn't know what was wrong with the one we had for years! I agree a change sometimes needs to be made but the badge this season was cr@p!
  22. I would like us to go for Lukaku to be honest. I think he is only going to get better! 15 goals and 6 assists isn't a bad return. It would be a lot of money though that is the only problem. He has proven himself each year. If I had a choice between Remy or Lukaku and they were valued at the same price I would take Lukaku. Remy is going to be about 15 mil. Why not pay the extra 5-7mil for a player who gets along with the team as well.
  23. Isn't it rumored that clubs are getting massive payouts this year....Supposedly with all the TV money, place we finish etc we are going to get 90mil. Is that right?
