IrbyJFC Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 (edited) Good defender would be a crackin replacement for Lescott in my opinion have to move fast though can see him costing 10mill plus too http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11661_5513277,00.html ((Dont know why the link wont complete but if u copy paste it it works)) Edited August 25, 2009 by MikeO Link works now....something not working properly...if you want to link something just stick it between bracketed url/url's for now.

c1982 Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 Why don't the links to sky sports work?! - anyway just go on the website - very much a rumour! Just noticed irby has started this same thread - these will be merged obviously - not being superstisious (or know how to spell it) but I opened the Billy Russian thread and look what happened there!!!

jofanon Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 Hope so think he's quality. Expect the rumours and random names linked with us to increase a trillion percent in the next week though! Already half the Lescott money has done...!

saw Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 cant see us signing him, especially with arsenal being linked too and if moyes want 3 more players were not gonna have enough money for hangeland he 10mil plus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicagoblue Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 I can't see Fulham selling him for anything less than 12M and unless we really do have some money apart from the Lescott funds then I don't see how we can spend that much on one player when we clearly need to bring in at least 2 more besides. I'd certainly take him, but I'd still wonder if it wouldn't be better business to get Taylor and Senderos who I think we could have for the same money.

Barryh Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 This fella for me fits the bill more than any of them.......but my concern now is all these clubs who we are tryin to get CB`s from will be using the Lescott fee as a yardstick, so expect us to pay over the odds ourselves no matter who we buy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bily was £9M, Banega is only on loan, say £10M for Hangeland that still leaves £3M to £5M plus whatever money we had for transfers before we sold Lescott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly one that in my book wont be more then paper talk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt BK would try and pilfer any of the dosh to go towards the clubs debts plus any signings we make in the UK market are unlikely to be paid upfront anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think hangeland would be a solid start to improving the back line. him a RW and RB and we could be really really strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we probably had the 5M for Naughton, but I think the Defour bid, if it occurred, was a ruse. No way we had 14M before the Lescott sale and made no moves.

Anto-EFC Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 I dont want to rock the boat but I don't hink Hangeland is the best option, if the 10mil being touted is his actual valuation, i would much prefer us to get Taylor and Senderos or Wheater. For a 28 year old, 10mil is a lot considering the others are younger and have the potential to get better! Id prefer Taylor to be honest.

For a 28 year old, 10mil is a lot considering the others are younger and have the potential to get better! Id prefer Taylor to be honest. We need someone who is going to go straight in. Hangeland is at the peak of his career now. I'm all for signing potential but at this stage we need quality that is ready to push us on now! One way to look at it is Rodwell is being touted as the next Rio Ferdinand, hand on heart who would you want in your team now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Blue Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 Have to agree with the above for the money I would prefer Taylor and or shawcross to be honest, both are younger and have more potential to be honest. Taylor as he would be a great right back imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulcat1988 Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 Hangeland would be a great signing, but i would prefer steven taylor as he is a lot younger and passionate about his footy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor as he would be a great right back imo. You wouldnt get Taylor and Shawcross for that kind of money. Must admit I would probably prefer Taylor but not as a right back. He can play there but its definitely not his position there are plenty of better options at RB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can play there but its definitely not his position there are plenty of better options at RB I know it would be an or, to be honest I would prefer Taylor as I he can play RB quite well, I remember the game he had against us last season, he played at RB and was a right pain in the ass. He is strong has pace, and is a good crosser of the ball. He would then fit in with Yobo and Jags by being RB, I think that would be a strong defence.

flaminfox Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 If i could choose i would either have senderos or shawcross for some reason i dont like taylor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Boy Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 If i could choose i would either have senderos or shawcross for some reason i dont like taylor Taylor all the way... Senderos is too mistake prone, and all the Arse fans I know are desperate to get rid. Shawcross has had one season, yes looks good, but still has some proving and for £12m, needs to be more experienced. Taylor is proven quality, Newcastle fans would hate to lose him, and he can cover two positions. Hangeland would be an excellent signing though, but def get Taylor before him.... younger, two positions and quicker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calico Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Uh, which Taylor are we talking about, Ryan or Steven? lol I reckon Hangeland would be just right for the defence. Yes, both he and Yobo are on the older side of things when it comes to Premiership footballers these days but the kind of experience they have is what we're going to need if Moyes' ambitions for trophies is to be fulfilled IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainFerguson10 Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 As I've commented on before, I think Hangerland is a better player than Lescott and if Everton could get him for 12 million then that would be excellent business.

jofanon Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Trouble is that could be all the money spent then. I think he's an excellent player but do we want to blow the rest of the budget on one player? We need two or three players still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamiemaher85 Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 I'd like him here but it wont happen. In my opinion we should be looking at a centre back who is better than Yobo as i still have doubts over having Yobo full time at centre back as he makes silly mistakes.
