I'd rather have Moreno.

Inexperienced youngster, new league, would take time to settle in, and a high price tag. Would much rather prefer an experienced, and thereby a consistent and a finished product in Coentrão.

by Mr Nick09 Fri May 09, 2014 7:15 pm

moreno is all offense, no defense. i think he has played as much at left midfield than he has at left back. that's where he is at right now, he cant even get games vs valencia in europa league semis.

would be real dumb to let go of coentrao now that he is overcoming whatever was holding him back, and proving more valuable than marcelo in clutch moments.

I have an irrational dislike for Coentrao. I'd rather have Cissokho for another season than him.

I'd say if you prefer Cissokho to him, you probably despise Coentrao Laughing

Red, explain your dislike for Coentrao, please.

And Caulker? Really?!?!?

by Onyx Fri May 09, 2014 7:56 pm

Coentrao's one of the best LB's in the World and more reliable than Marcelo, hopefully we don't sell him.

by Tomwin Lannister Fri May 09, 2014 7:56 pm

Give us Marcelo for 5M pls

Stoke City goalkeeper Asmir Begovic is regularly linked with a move away from the club, but he insists he is happy at the Britannia Stadium.

I have two years left on my contract and I am committed to the cause and am very settled where I am. It's very flattering to hear big clubs and great names in the game talk and say nice things about you. I just try to focus and work hard every day, show respect to my club, my employer and do my best for Stoke.

Every time I've seen him he's reminded me of a left sided Glen Johnson, except more inconsistent and less reliable when performing well.

And his hair. It reminds me of the days when boy bands and Aaron Carter roamed the Earth and makes me slowly destroys any lingering faith in humanity.

As for Caulker, he's basically a younger English version of Skrtel, with more goal product so far. I don't see why LFC fans are that upset with being linked with him honestly. If we sell a CB this summer having Sakho, Agger/Skrtel, Kolo, and Caulker (Ilori one more season's loan) would not be a bad collection at all. He's not a top bill signing and wouldn't walk directly into our first team, but he fits the club's transfer strategy to a T and "knows the league."

Coentrao does have an...interesting sense of style yet the Coentrao for Madrid and the Coentrao for Portugal are two different specimen. Yet even Coentrao for Madrid has turned into one who does not offer much in attack yet remains defensively reliable and consistent, in my opinion.

Apologies as I researched Caulker and was thinking of Livermore instead, given the mass exodus of Tottenham youth products this year. What's positive is that he is only 22 though I cannot form an opinion of him, clearly.

To others, what is your opinion of Caulker?

by Onyx Fri May 09, 2014 8:22 pm

Doubt the Caulker rumour is true since it's the Mirror reporting it.

by Mr Nick09 Fri May 09, 2014 8:23 pm

Coentrao has long suffered of not being liked by fans, he was treated quite harshly by the madrid public tbf. more than anyother player, he reminds everyone of mourinho, which isnt a great feeling for many.
