scouse

looks good based on clips, never really heard of him but reading his name excites me :-)

 

In other words, we have rejected his proposal.

100% this

cant see the pens posted on here, if anyone else cant here is a link:

Cheap wages, free transfer, we could use another half decent (which I think he is a top player) central midfielder.

 

Fair enough I agree I think hes a bit of a C***! However, he wants to play for the passion of his team now, lets give him a season and see how he gets on!

i agree with this, whilst he is not cheap he is on par with most of the midfielders we have been linked with both salary and ability wise just less the fee. if we take him i would be with clauses around behaviour etc as people would be out to goad him and try and bring the old joey barton out, and as much as he mellowed out we are all human !

Gibson was not the fittest most played bloke in the world and he looks like a potential captain now.

 

Theres obviously something there, man u payed 20 mil for him 6 years ago. He is only 25, if he gets regular matches he will still be worth more than 7 mil in a couple of years time. Sell him on then, get the money back.

Agree with this logic, he has shown glimpses for being a good player but is very injury prone.

with Barkley pushing this season think Green may be behind in the queue

was it not 5 mill for a 29 year old?

least with teh player(s) we have signed Kone and linked with Moses, Diame Martinez seems to be targeting are real lack of pace going forward.

 

Ah you lead me nicely into a justification here Dunc.

 

The reality is that we could compete at a level higher than what Moyes wanted us to believe. The knife to a gunfight analogy angered me. Moyes in reality had built himself a homemade pistol that could do a job (fair play) - he had the bullets - he just lacked the bottle to fire the thing in case he got shot.

 

Martinez at Wigan on the other hand did take a knife to a gunfight, he sharpened that knife, learned how to use it and took a few gun toting cowboys out with it. Yeah, he got shot in the end whilst Moyesy was busy hiding behind a wagon. He didn't get shot but he didn't shoot anyone.

 

Martinez has now been reincarnated as gun toting cowboy, and he's gonna learn how to get the best out of his new gun. Meanwhile Moyesy is in charge of a gattling gun, my guess is he will spend his time trying not to get shot rather than turning the handle and shoooting away.

 

Moyes made more of his financial limitations than he should have done, he dealt with those limitations well in terms of acquiring talent. What he didn't do was utilise that talent well enough. Martinez was ridiculously financially limited compared to Moyes.

Belgium are the Red Devils I believe?

Correct had it for yonks

Folk talking like we've signed Martinez ? :dont know:

Yep hence my Malaga comment too, but sequence of events elude to it.

Yes sadly if a team bids higher than the clause other teams do not need to follow . as said if Fellaini is the only player we lose and thats for 24 Mill i would be content, bring in McCarthy from Wigan, more game time for Barkley wouldnt be too bad.

 

There are loads of forren players who can't hack it in the English game.....

Probably not going to be Neville then. And we might need to start looking for a new chief scout as well.

Would we get compo for these leaving then?

If he uses similar tactics we could see something on the lines of this. Don't know if it would work, but going forward we'll be a force, would need Felli to dip back and allow Baines/Coleman forward and Barkley to do Maloney's role, but on the opposite side.

 

------------------Howard

------Coleman Heitinga Baines

-------------Gibson Fellaini

Pienaar-----------------------Oviedo

-----Barkley Jelavic Mirallas

No Jags?

lets not forget the Malaga job is available too, that said i think its stonewall that he will be with us next season, i am with haf on this one of my top 3 and will be happy with any of them (same as his).

 

Im hoping that there is truth in both the Man Utd and Chelsea rumours. Creates a bidding war which might up the price for Fellaini. Could see him go for 30 mil if both clubs are interested.

Doesnt he have a 24 mill release fee if a club is playing Champions League?

Gibbo - the club is paying you to play football, They are NOT paying you to have opinions.

He did (kind of) redeem himself at the end with someone with more experience!

However DK does not speak for everyone here. (thank the lord)

Does he speak for anyone Bar himself?

This is the one player i can see leaving this summer :-( and i would say Utd to be the likely place, wonder moves for our players will turn the relationship we hold with Moyes? bit like its starting too now with him paid by us and working for Utd.

 

 

How about we keep hold him and build a team around him... crazy, I know.

build a team what does that mean? we sell and buy Utd reserves dont we?

Seems legit.

 

how close is that to the new proposed badge its a great effort.

how are we linked with players incoming when we have no manager?

bit cynical mate! but I wouldnt worry, if this is the type of rumour coming out, hes not going anywhere. Like previously mentioned - no quotes and a bullshit pricetag.

 

There was a rumour a few years ago that when Utd were apparently chasing Rodwell, they were actually after Barkely.

 

Id swap him for Rooney if Moyes is really interested

Me to :-), hopefully new gaffer will give him game time next year so we can sell him for 20+ mill then :-)

he has been linked with Swans hasnt he? he is better than Ba imo and better than Torres in current form also, not sure what they will do when new man comes in.
