Transfer Speculation / Gossip

[hilts_coolerking]

No-one's asking for hundreds of millions.  10-15 would help.  That must be a fraction of his wealth.  I mean, we're one of the world's forty richest clubs for fuck's sake.

Haven't we put this one to bed yet.

Try putting it to bed then.  Explain to me why the reports are wrong.

Paul Lambert is going down the Brian Clough road of rounding up unwanted has beens and nobodies ready to mould them into a team that will conquer Europe. Senderos could be our Larry Lloyd, Richardson our Frank Clark, Cole our Ian Bowyer and we will actually pay a transfer fee of something like £30,000 to bring the new Garry Birtles from non league.

Or it might not quite work out that well.

I get the derision of Senderos, but this one not so much. Left back we have been awful at for the last 2 years. Player for practically nothing comes available with good experience, pace which as a side we badly lack and an ability to create from wide areas that again, we have badly lacked. Better than Bennett and Luna by miles and miles. If the choice is Richardson on a free and then spend good money on 2 midfielders, or Bertrand for 5 million and 1 midfielder, I would take Richardson for example, as I don't think there is miles between the 2, and we can't be choosy.

In a 3-5-2, with Vlaar Clark and Okore at the back, Bacuna and Richardson going on from wide I think we will have a pretty mid table level back line. Just need to get a couple of midfield players and a centre forward. With Hutton, Bent and NZogbia back in too, we are significantly stronger than on the final day.

Still no better than about 15th, but then with Lerner opting out, I would take that right now.

RL is simply doing a holding job whilst he sells. Bring in some relatively reliable players to add a bit of backbone to the callow youths ew have and hope that the sale will happen early enough for money to be spent on the future players in August / January.

Lerner is our new midfielder?

Really good in spells, but disappears too much for my liking. Championship level at best.

According to the Daily Mail article, we beat West Ham, Palace and Albion to his signature.  This is the new normal for us.

Let's get Jon Harley in while we're at it.

That was a bit good.

[SoccerHQ]

I don't mind Richardson actually.

Decent going forward, he'll be better than Bennett.

[paulcomben]

PSG just spent £50 million on David Luiz, who is a lot worse than Ron Vlaar. Money is not everything. You can also go far with a good coach. Uh oh.

[Steve67]

If he signs, I am more than willing to give Richardson a chance. Would prefer Ashley Cole or Philip Lahm but it ain't happening is it

[Ron Manager]

I like Richardson. He will do a good job for us at very little cost. Keane obviously rates him.

Foot like a traction engine.
