Matt Posted June 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 Jordan Henderson to Liverpool for £20m apparently. Sounds a lot . http://news.bbc.co.u...ll/13685517.stm just saw that! Ive only seen him play a few times but hes not 20m worth. In fact the times that i saw him play I was wondering what all the fuss was about!

Lowensda Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 (edited) Jordan Henderson to Liverpool for £20m apparently. Sounds a lot . http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/13685517.stm Ok that does sound alot, and he didn't exactly impress vs. us this season? I didn't feel he was anything spectacular and never saw anything when he played for England. I think it would have been better for him to have stayed at least another year and then moved?? On a side note (Ihate to admitt it) but Dogleash is starting to build foundations for a young, english side... Arsenal sign Carl Jenkinson from Charlton. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/13695799.stm Another established player who can take Arsenal onto the next level. Wenger is a stubborn nob.

SimonButtle Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 have to say i lol at the shite signing Henderson for £20m thats such a rip off, not even worth £10m if you ask me, but it won't look like anything if the rumours about Carrol being out for the whole of next season are true, he was £35m lol, i do so hope it is true, its going to be so funny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, how ridiculous is the fee Man U are set to pay for Phil Jones? The transfer market is fucking nuts, it's no wonder we can't even compete for shite players when this is what you pay for average.

The Beard Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 From Matt's post (*7)onwards I just totally agree. Our squad will be worth Billions if this carries on, lunacy, and before the inflated transfer deadline deals. Recession, what fuc*ing recession !!

Lowensda Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 (edited) Seems like the transfer window spending is gonna be SMASHED this year! The most negative thing about this though, is that Blackburn are about to get an extra £16m for reinforcements and Sunderland have just been given an extra £20m to add to their war-chest. I'm afraid at this rate we're gonna be seriously left in the dust if we don't sell someone like Rodwell. We know its a sell to buy policy and at this rate, it doesn't seem like DM wants to sell (understandably). And the only players he does want to sell or feel the need to sell, have no great value (Yak,Yobo,Vaughn). Our most sellable unwanted asset is Bily, who's only gonna go for £6/7m, which means 80% of that will be spent on a player who needs; not only to replace him, but better him. Oh lord. All in all, teams who have some money to spend are not only going to spend more than us from a starting point but now have extra due to their selling policy. Another team who could get some pennies in their purse is Wigan; who are looking to sell N'zogbia for £10m. Looks like Arsehole Young at the Villa will be off in the summer, for a reported £25m, another team competing for our position who're about to get a windfall. I realise people don't want us to be a selling club and i agree with them but this market looks like one crazy agent-orgy and if we can get big-money for some of our players, i think we'll have to take it This summer is gonna look very bleak indeed.

The absolute knob jockey. I'd cry if we signed just 1 of them, nevermind all fucking three. LOL that's cheered me right up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn balor Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 Fucking Sunderland buying them three? fuck me! The Shite buying Henderson for £20? Even if Liverpool buy Downing, Dann, Adam etc would you be worried about them after spending £60 odd million? I fucking wont. If we get a few good loans a couple of freebies and spend the money wisely we get for the sold players i'd be happyish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont get this. We have been skint for the last 10 year, teams around us spend buckets yet we finish higher than most of them. Im not starting my defence again because im tired of doing it every year, I will just say this - we dont need money, we need the right players and the right players dont always cost a fortune.

The whole thing about Wigan playing good football under him is the biggest pile of shite I have ever heard. Wigan are still a pub style side. And he his signings are bollocks. Everything Moyes has built would be destroyed in the space of half a season under Martinez. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there nothing else that tops it? Nothing like bringing up the potential law-suit against an incident that happened over 25 years ago? Is that statement really the biggest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
