Re: The Official Winter Transfer Thread

[Kick]

Salah is close to Liverpool, may sign by tomorrow. Hopefully he does and we look elsewhere. (Rues)

excuse my forgetfulness, but which striker did we sell last Jan?

[Shed]

Too bad we can't recall Piazon.

[Shed]

Studge.

Studge.

Yep. Been repressing that memory

[Kick]

It's Vitesse, surely we can negotiate something to get Piazon back here.

[Shed]

Actually, the situations are ominously similar. Sell Studge, sign Ba. Sell Mata, sign...Salah.


God what are we doing

[Kick]

But we won't be considering Salah as anywhere near a starting spot. He'd be 5th choice at best!

[fatman123]

We've become a feeder club

[Kick]

We've become a feeder club

Bullshit, our subs are just complaining.

Studge wasn't a starter, Mata isn't either at present, neither was KDB.

If we keep improving the starting XI, we'll be ok.

Who cares. He's not good enough for us. Would sooner see us promote Piazon.

I totally agree, or Rues

Thing is though Sturidge was way better then any other alternative we had at CF, but rather then even giving him a go, we sold him and replaced him with Ba and later Eto'o neither of which are as good as him.

Same story here, if we sell Mata, unless we pay out the ass for someone like David Silva, we're going to end up replacing him with someone of lower quality too.

Thats not it, we've got quality to replace Mata, Willian, Schurrle, Oscar and Hazard are all great, they all fit our system and play well. When we sold Sturridge we have Torres as our best player. Big difference!

[fatman123]

Torres as our best player Prior to this season (and its still open for debate really), when has Torres ever been our best CF?

[Kick]

Selling Sturridge meant that Torres was our only CF until we got Ba. Therefore, he was, at a time, our best.

[fatman123]

So for a few days then?

Those players /aren't/ replacements for him though. Oscar gets injured and who comes in in the hole? Hmmm?

[Kick]

Willian, Hazard or we switch to the 4-3-3.

[Shed]

Willian central.

[fatman123]

Willian can't play #10 and playing Hazard there is a waste of his skill

[Kick]

Then switch to 4-3-3.

[Kick]

inb4 we sign Guarin as Mata's 'replacement'

[Shed]

So change the entire formation because one player is injured. How many club actually do that?

[Kick]

Hey Shed, when was Oscar last injured?

[Shed]

So a player's good fitness history means we should only keep one in his position in their entire squad?
