Guest Bilo Posted 11 December 2011 Posted 11 December 2011 Koren and Kebe would be two very good signings.
Lineker's Left Foot Posted 11 December 2011 Posted 11 December 2011 I'll tell you what you lot should do. Forget about signing anyone in January it would just be throwing good money after bad. You've signed just about every big name outside the Prem already no doubt with huge wages. Your manager has already gone on record as saying you have a very talented squad.........try working with them and build success rather than trying to buy it or steal someone elses. Afraid Nigel has gone get over it. However, you're probably right to a certain extent. If I was going to steal players it would be Robert Koren, Cameron Stewart and James Chester - yep that would do.
JadeFalcon Posted 11 December 2011 Posted 11 December 2011 Good example..... if we were aiming for the champions league. What makes me laugh is when people say we will never survive with these players in the prem bla bla bla. What division are we in? How much did teams like blackpool, Norwich, Swansea, Hull etc etc etc spend to get them up? Not much, they bought players with passion, determination and hunger t succeed rather than spending 10 mil "peanuts" on one big name player who is past his best and has no desire to work hard to get to the prem the way i see it is, its only kasper thats kept us where we are in the table... and imho him alone... the rest of the team isn't producing and its only him thats stopped so many goals against us.. your really trying to tell me we would survive with the players we have now ? ffs
RizLCFC Posted 11 December 2011 Posted 11 December 2011 James Henry from Millwall anyone? Personally I think he'd be a better signing than Kebe for us!

If I was going to steal players it would be Robert Koren, Cameron Stewart and James Chester - yep that would do. Ha! Ha! Ha! We are 5th in the league, 6 points ahead of you, since he left we've taken 12 from 16 points and the players look like a weight has been taken off their shoulders and we have a manager who has amber and black running through his veins. Koren is at last being played in his favoured position (something Pearson refused to do) and has just signed an extra year option on his contract. Our United kids, who worship Nick Barmby, had little if anything to do with Pearson or Walsh. They came to us because of our Club's special relationship with Manchester United. Believe me, we are so over him!!

blue army 1988 Posted 12 December 2011 Posted 12 December 2011 Strovolos tiger its not your club that has the relationship with manchester united, its pearson and his back room staf.
Dan Posted 12 December 2011 Posted 12 December 2011 Your club's special relationship with Man Utd. What, a relationship being you had a good sing song about Newcastle going down? Small-time fvcking beauts ever since I can remember, it appears based on their recent antics, nothing's changed.
The Doctor Posted 12 December 2011 Posted 12 December 2011 Ha! Ha! Ha! We are 5th in the league, 6 points ahead of you, since he left we've taken 12 from 16 points and the players look like a weight has been taken off their shoulders and we have a manager who has amber and black running through his veins.

Believe me, we are so over him!! Probably ought to see a doctor, not a good sign. What special relationship with Manure? That one ex-player works for them? Can we then claim to have a special relationship with Man City (Mancini) amongst others? 'Cause if that's all it takes then great. The only club that will get Manure's youngsters due to a special relationship will be the one that has Darren Ferguson is in charge at the time of signing.
crafty fox Posted 12 December 2011 Posted 12 December 2011 snodgrass would fit in nicely down here, plus master bates would be willing to evaluate the cost involved about £500k id say!! bargain.
thejfox Posted 13 December 2011 Posted 13 December 2011 Do you mean 'has-been'? What has-beens play for us? Arguably Nugent and Konchesky, buuuuuuut they've been two of our best players. Fernandes (25), Johnson (23), Beckford (28), Mills (25), St Ledger (26), Schmeichel (25), Peltier (24) or Paintsil (30)....who exactly do you mean? i mean konchesky been at top level (liverpool) didnt make it i mean beckford been at top level (everton) didnt make it i mean nugent been at top level portsmouth/england didnt make it what i mean is we seem to take players who reached the top but are now on the way down. sorry but they are has beens
Nickfosse Posted 13 December 2011 Posted 13 December 2011 The over-riding problem is that we seem to have money, but if players really are top drawer, they're not intereseted in coming to us in the Championship. Competitor teams are ony interested if we offer silly money and, even then, they would rather sell to a PL team. Mills is an example of silly money, Long an example of wanting to sell to a PL team not a competitor, and Maynard an example of a team not be willing to sell at all to a team in the Championship. The money being invested does not give us the competitive edge some of us hoped and imagined. Throw in the quality players other teams have on loan e.g. Stewart at Hull and Wood at Birmingham and we have a highly competitive league in which high investment does not guaruntee success. If we then consider that the teams we have annoyed by being so aggressive in the transfer market can't wait to try and put one over us, and others who want to prove high wages and fees doesn't make you better, it starts to become apparrent we are not in the place we thought we would be in August, casting all asunder with our expensively assembled squad.
Weller in Tights Posted 13 December 2011 Posted 13 December 2011 Would like Snodgrass, not sure if we would get him. A couple of more creative midfielders and a forward please. I feel our defence and goalie are sound (hope no premiership teams come sniffing for cher-michael). Oh and a set of supporters that get all behind the players and manager and create an atmosphere to be envied by the other teams in the division. BLUE ARMY BLUE ARMY
Ashley Posted 13 December 2011 Posted 13 December 2011 i mean konchesky been at top level (liverpool) didnt make it i mean beckford been at top level (everton) didnt make it i mean nugent been at top level portsmouth/england didnt make it what i mean is we seem to take players who reached the top but are now on the way down. sorry but they are has beens Why didn't Beckford make it at Everton? You do realise Everton sold because they are in the shit like... BIG TIME?
Fox 4 Life Posted 13 December 2011 Posted 13 December 2011 i mean konchesky been at top level (liverpool) didnt make it i mean beckford been at top level (everton) didnt make it i mean nugent been at top level portsmouth/england didnt make it what i mean is we seem to take players who reached the top but are now on the way down. sorry but they are has beens Are you forgetting we play in the CHAMPIONSHIP?!
Thracian Posted 13 December 2011 Posted 13 December 2011 If we've got millions to spend the first thing we should do is have Barbars piped to our seats. It's about 8% proof and two or three pints of the Belgian honey-beer before each match would show all our players in a glowing (amber) light. Even the street lamps look good after that stuff though they've only been known to win 1-0 - or was that the dustbins? Either way the thing about lamp-posts is that they're reliable - very solid defensively and they never bend no matter how much pressure is put on them. With Barbars to hand - or even both hands - all the Leicester players should look positively frothy by comparison and no-matter what the tactics of the opposition, we'll be at their throats like they're the next waiting pint. That's really what's wrong at the Knot-Pissed-Stadium. We sit there in our cramped seats listening to birthday greetings and mundane announcements about football in the commuity and we're effectively lulled to sleep. By the time the 15 minute interval is over and all the substitutions have eaten into more time any sense of excitement has disappeared. Charged with Barbars the atmosphere would change dramatically. Any empty seats would be filled with blow-up representations of our favourite players which we could wave in the air when they scored. And if they missed we could blow em up again with a drawing pin and send them squivering through the air farting like friars after a feast of baked beans. Perhaps Lee Jobber could be persuaded to fill his big bass drum with Barbars..and empty it over the crowd whenever we got a goal.. Hell, by the time we'd finished, the Thais could pursuade us we'd won a holiday on Venus - and how many football fans have ever had it off with an armless date! Forget spending millions on players. Invest in Barbars and we'd soon see whatever we wanted too.

Corky Posted 13 December 2011 Posted 13 December 2011 It's great to see the owners showing ambition, we do however need to get rid of plenty of the squad because many aren't good enough or fitting in at the moment. And I see we have another Hull fan on here. Why? You lot are banging on about how glad you are that Pearson has gone so why don't you do as you proclaim and just not bother with him? They are up there with Forest in terms of doing the exact opposite to what they say. Prats.

Molson Canadian Posted 13 December 2011 Posted 13 December 2011 Aye Aye... Looks like Thrac could be pissed tonight! Hahhahahaha I think so as well! Have a good one Thracian!
Stay Positive Posted 13 December 2011 Posted 13 December 2011 Ha! Ha! Ha! We are 5th in the league, 6 points ahead of you, since he left we've taken 12 from 16 points with Manchester United. Believe me, we are so over him!! Peter Taylor had us top of the premiership after about 8 games in charge. I rest my case.

Believe me, we are so over him!! To be fair your teams doing well considering you've not spent vast amounts of money. I do fail to see the 'special' relationship but you do have a steady squad a few standout players and some being man u Loans as you say. I think hull fans pride has been damaged with nigel leaving to a lower position club, but we can offer him alot more than you in terms of wages and potential to make it to the prem with the money available. clearly money does not buy the league as many of us thought would happen this season
Thracian Posted 13 December 2011 Posted 13 December 2011 Hahhahahaha I think so as well! Have a good one Thracian! Thanks --- and good health! hic!
