Hardly triumphant when they got relegated was it
Don't get the bid either (if it was true which I doubt), 8m for a (now) 2nd division player is a lot of money and you're buying him for the potential for him to turn into a player worth 20m+ if we were to sell him in the future, so why would we give so much cash and then 20% of any future money we got. It's a no from me.
Been hanging around reading the forums for a few weeks and decided to sign up before the game last night but didn't get approved to post til this morning. Good runout yesterday versus a Juve team who is still solid without the players they were missing. Stones showed his potential well and Howard came up with some big saves. Osman had a terrible night to say the least. Now onto transfers, out of all these midfield options being tossed around : McCarthy, Barton, Anderson, Jorginho, Sissoko, etc, I think Jorginho seems to be the better option (haven't seen much of him tbf) due to his age, price and doesn't seem to have any of the drawbacks the other lot seem to have. He's also been called up to the Italy U-21's so he has to have a fair bit of ability. McCarthy isn't a bad player but he's not worth 15 mil and would have the stigma of being yet another Wigan singing ( the other 3 were decent signings to improve the squad as a whole). Barton while being a Evertonian has all the * we'd have to deal with and i'm not sure its worth but being on a free and 35k a week is somewhat tempting when we need cover in the midfield badly. Anderson never seems to be fit nor have the right motivation and would cost a few mil more than Jorginho. Sissoko isn't terrible but turned us down for the history channel team so I wouldn't want him here.
