Steve_E Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 Steve he's not considering Ajax, they offered and he wants more so he's looking elsewhere. Ajax is a fallback plan if nothing else pans out. That's not what Frank de Boer thinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest blueboy122 Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 I would take him definitely but not on stupid wages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjazzbassist Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 That's not what Frank de Boer thinks. Of course! You think frank is going to say "we've made an offer and if better offers from bigger clubs fall through then he will be our player" .

Paddock Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 I'd be made up if he comes. I'm sitting here watching the premier league years from last season and he's most defo still got it. I'm serious when I say, if we got him in we will win a cup or finish top 4 . I think he'd be the final piece of the jigsaw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no way in the world that Ajax will be able to afford his wages. They're well poorer than Everton.

You think De Boer is going to say he's optimistic about getting him and getting their fans all excited (cause they are) if he thinks they have absolutely no chance of getting him?

Guest Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 I'm a bit torn on this one. 70% of me thinks merecenary,past his best etc but the other 30% thinks it would be a valuable signing for us. The experience he has and the experiences and knowledge he could share to the younger players could be invaluable. He could potentially become a cult hero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tristagi Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 Sign him up just cause his FIFA stats will still be good and playing with him and Lukaku up front will be boss. Sibdane 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hafnia Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 After watching Rom on saturday I actually think he will be a good signing - Rom needs a kick up the backside. A player who has more medals than Rom could imagine may give him that kick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Etoo may have more medals but I'm pretty sure he wouldve produced a similar performance considering the lack of chances created. nutmegwolf203, Lowensda and markjazzbassist 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the thing for me with the performance on Saturday is that he was dropping deep - we already had Naismith operating there. What I wanted to see from Rom was more activity in his movement along the front line - extremely pedestrian and easily picked up by Wes Morgan and Moore all game.

JoeQuince Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 I think the thing for me with the performance on Saturday is that he was dropping deep - we already had Naismith operating there. What I wanted to see from Rom was more activity in his movement along the front line - extremely pedestrian and easily picked up by Wes Morgan and Moore all game. Rom didn't have anybody to force them to make a play on anyone but him. Naismith was coming too deep, not running with the ball and passing it backwards 90% of the time. Baines, Pienaar and McGeady weren't getting to the byline to put in crosses either. We played with the wings but were very narrow with our approach to getting the ball in the box. And, with no central creative player or someone to run with the ball and bring players out of position, Rom was kind of on his own with only long balls and scraps to feed off of. I saw him make a lot of runs. But, I also saw Naismith get the ball at his feet, never once look up ahead, and pass it off immediately backwards. The two of them can't play in that system, if we expect goals to come from Rom. He occupies defenders and allows others to score. But, he was never going to get much of the ball, the way we were set up. That said, Rom still should've won at least one of the long ball headers he was up for. It really is pitiful to watch that game in, game out. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, the dropping deep was out of frustration because he was never given a chance. All strikers do it which is why I dont think Etoo is the answer. Despite all that though, he didn't do himself any favours and I hope Martinez says whatever he needs to say to get the lad going. He was terrible.

Hafnia Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 He really does look heavy legged, he stands underneath where the ball is falling and jumps late and not very high. Dunc needs to work on him. The problem we are seeing is what I stated before signing him, teams know how to counter him - stick tight to him, don't allow him to turn. He can create space and opportunities by making dummy runs, to allow Naismith space for example, Nais did this very well on saturday - peeling off and running between centre half and full back. whatever RM needs to do with Rom to get him going, he needs to do it quick. I'm giving the lad a chance, albit with a fair amount of trepidation after last year and the world cup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddock Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 I'm convinced if we get him he'll get us goals enough to push us for top 4 and he will be good for Lukaku to learn from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowensda Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 The more I thought about it. The more it makes sense. I don't really want him eating up wages (which must be huge) but he was Chelsea's best striker last year and got them a fair few goals. I wouldn't like it but could see it happening.

His experience would be invaluable and he will most definitely get us goals. Having him on the bench will make me really confident that we have a player to get us a goal from the bench if we need one. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevO Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 I would hope Roberto has a good chat with him first to see what he's like. He always talks about character and attitude of players, if he still wants him after talking to him, then I can only really trust his judgement. Two year contract maximum!

Paddock Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 I'd love him here as I've already said but I can't see it happening. Firstly doubt we'll math his wages but more importantly, if the Shite and especially Spurs are really interested they'll offer more and Liverpool have champions league footy.

Guest Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 He has always been a quality player, I don't understand the comments about his character. Has been a gobshite? I don't recall him being like that. One of the best performances of a player who helps his team rather than be a big time Charlie was the Inter/Barca champs league semi. Somebody got sent off for Inter and Mourininho changed him to play as a right sided forward and he worked his balls off and for me was the reason Inter won the game.

I know he has been payed stupid amounts of money in his career. But whats wrong with his attitude??... Especially when people are banging on about bringing in ben arfa ect?? He has the real attitude probelm. Would i want one of the most decorated strikers in world football in our team? Yes i would. His experience would be vital in our young squad and he can still play abit aswell. Edited August 19, 2014 by Jackelz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
