Summer 2010 Transfer Thread: B*llsh*t, Rumours & Wishes

[ozzjim]

We have scouts, and they go abroad. They just don't get listened to. Martin knows best... cough,... harewood..... cough.

I see Yakubu is likely to go to West Ham. If cheap there are few with as good an eye for goal than the Yak. Would be worth a look surely. Lazy yes, scores a lot, yes.

[PaulTheVillan]

I wonder what MONs search filter on FM is set to?

[ozzjim]

Ah that is a good question. UK only, 19-31, workrate 18 plus, stamina 18 plus as they will need it the way we play,  the rest.... well, as long as they work hard and can run the rest we will see when they get here.

He'd be a better option than others we've been linked with, Carlton Cole, Kevin Doyle, Robbie Keane etc.

[PaulTheVillan]

Yakubu is lazy and needs chances on a plate.

Saying that, he spends most of his game in the box, unlike our other strikers.

He's a better option than others being talked about. He'd bag goals but contribute little else whereas some of the others are either past it, simply not good enough or over priced.

Yeah, Brad Friedel was a terrible buy.
Dunce.

[/i].

I said that ?

Where ?

I'd look in the mirror, no not the Daily, before I'd go calling names too

It didn't work out too well last time.

As to Foster being 27 so what compared to Friedel he's a kid, derr

[Mazrim]

Sorry, what didn't work out well last time?

[eamonn]

If I remember correctly, in Aug 2005 Maz was itching for Yakubu to come and Ozzjim was fairly sure it was going to happen.

Were you in 'The 39 Steps'?

I can't remember 12 months ago, let alone 5!!

I think he's suggesting he actually put forth a reasoned arguement and....wait for it.....won.

I'd like to see that, too.

In an entire lifetime of watching Villa I can't recall ever being envious of anything the b lose have done. Sfx don't worry, the weight of history will tell.

The time to get worried/angry/frustrated is when our rivals like Spurs, everton and to a far lesser degree citeh are spending and we aren't.

what it shows is that foreign  players are willing to come to  Birmingham (not the club the city ) however we have a Muppet of a manager who does not like flair or technically good players. that's what pisses me off and that's why we will never get into the top four .

You lot might be happy with the our style of play but i am not , MON has turned our club into a hostel for English / British  players and it sickens me.

Sickens you? Why are so may people so over the top these days?

I know what you mean about the Noses persuading foreign players to come to Brum, if only we could get a Bulgarian, or a Spaniard, or an American or perhaps even a Norwegian to sign for us.

[Bent Neilsens Screamer]

I cannot believe you forgot about Salifou!
