Stevosevic Posted 21 July 2015 Posted 21 July 2015 People say Pato will have big wages, but he can only command those if someone else is willing to pay him big wages and they're not.
AjcW Posted 22 July 2015 Posted 22 July 2015 If we are not involved in a chase for this lad i'd be annoyed! http://www.stokesentinel.co.uk/Stoke-City-transfer-rumours-Potters-maintain/story-27462654-detail/story.html If Stoke and Everton are competing for Traore I don't see why we can't.... that £10.5 mill release clause is crazy too!

Stoke and everton are top 10 teams aiming for Europe next season, Leicester will not be able to compete with them if all parties are interested. He'd be a cracking signing for any team in the league imo
Thracian Posted 23 July 2015 Posted 23 July 2015 Reading about all our prospective signings it seems we'll also need language coaches. I'm all for an international outlook but there's hardly an Englishman mentioned. Either it's a big condemnation of the coaching set-up from infant school upwards or the natives are being shit on again. Sadly I think it's the former. If health and safety gets any more influence here, we won't be able to fart without being charged with violent conduct and that's no way to compete in sport or war. And there'll be plenty of both in the years to come.
Dan Posted 23 July 2015 Posted 23 July 2015 Adama Traore is sensational. We'd do incredibly well to get him.

Wymsey Posted 23 July 2015 Posted 23 July 2015 Borja Valero, people might be surprised but he seems a reliable and tidy player.
LexicalChoice Posted 23 July 2015 Posted 23 July 2015 Borja Valero, people might be surprised but he seems a reliable and tidy player. nah, Decent spread on him but don't think he does enough defensively. Next.
AjcW Posted 24 July 2015 Posted 24 July 2015 Completely with you all on the fact he's brilliant and probably out of our league. Would just be nice to know if we are trying for deals like this, Barca B and teams like that are gold mines!

And there'll be plenty of both in the years to come. 2 players of the same standard. Both capable Premiership level with experience of playing in the best leagues in Europe. One is English, one isn't. You'll pay a hell of a lot more for the English guy.
Guest Col city fan Posted 24 July 2015 Posted 24 July 2015 Tom Huddlestone. Christ no.... Totally immobile and one goal all season last term I think. Only get Tommy in IF we compliment him with a real DM to do the running.
Molson Canadian Posted 25 July 2015 Posted 25 July 2015 Eder Alvarez Balanta https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SnucTbV8Fas https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAGufDd2tAM Get him in.
Gerard Posted 25 July 2015 Posted 25 July 2015 Eder Alvarez Balanta https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SnucTbV8Fas https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAGufDd2tAM Get him in. It would be an incredible signing and the exact profile of player I would like us to sign. Sampdoria who aren't as rich as us and finished 7th last year in the Serie A and they are interested. http://www.vavel.com/en/international-football/italy-calcio/500678-sampdoria-tracking-down-eder-alvarez-balanta.html Surely we could compete with them? After our MF fiasco when we've had more knock backs than a sausage roll at a Bar Mitzvah I wouldn't count on it though.

Gerard Posted 25 July 2015 Posted 25 July 2015 If we made a bid i'm sure we would have a great chance of getting him. I think we're not going to get these players and would need to offer them something spectacular. What I would do is offer them good wages that are based to a loyalty bonus and a minimum release clause in their contracts. For example if we signed Balanta or Charles Aranguiz for £10m: 4 year deal £50k a week A minimum release fee of £15,000,000 that kicks in after 12 months And a big loyalty bonus after 24 months That way if they are a success then they have their choice of bigger clubs for a relative small fee. We get the player we want and improve our profile and position and at least make a profit if they're a success. We're unlikely to get these players if they are contracted for four years when they believe they are top class players. This way they can get into the shop window of Europe.

Dan Posted 25 July 2015 Posted 25 July 2015 I wouldn't be disappointed if we signed Valero. Boateng I wouldn't go near with a 100 mile long bargepole. He's everything we need to avoid.
lgfualol Posted 26 July 2015 Posted 26 July 2015 It angers me how perfect Kante and Mendy would fit into our squad. Why god why.
