January Transfer Rumours

Gattuso linked with Man Utd again, possible Swap deal for RvN.

Personally I'd take it, as I've said for years, I feel RvN is a disruptive influence on the team and I know he's not too well liked by some people. His latest bust up with Ronaldo doesn't help.

Wont happen.
AFAIK, he's just signed a new contract. And we already have 4 good strikers.

We shall see.
At 18 Dyer was tearing up teams in the first division , mainly because he is one of the quickest players I have ever seen - with or without the ball , his awareness of other players and finishing however were poor.

8 year later and he is no better.

Dyer has never really scored many goals, he has always been a pacey midfield player/winger. He has been *very* unlucky with his injuries, if you remember back in the day he was awesome for Newcastle too. He's even played well for England on a few occasions. :)

That said, whilst Walcott might be small, good at dribbling and pacey, he seems slightly different in that he is more creative than Dyer.

Paul Scholes has scored more goals at St James Park than Dyer has.

I dont like him personally , but on his day he is great for us.
Sadly those days seem to tie in with every solar eclipse. :rolleyes:
 
hey vandle mate, seen the news on sheppard buying more shares? he now has to make an offer to buy the club whole.

looks like hes done a bob murray sunderland special. float on the stock exchange make multimillions from shares, turn a half decent team to poo, watch the shares plummet, rip the fans off who bought shares, buy back club for fraction of original cost. job done!

ive heard whispers today, that i personally cant see happening. But liverpool have supposed to have put in a 13.8 million bid for swp and chelsea are considering it.

Certainly is interesting, but unlikely as it would be such a huge loss for Chelsea (finacially) and would also not tie in with their policy of buying players so other teams cant have them.

Also, dont Man city have first option on him?
 
A lot of people saying it is a done deal and he is expecting to have his medical tomorrow. £5mill upfront rising to £12.5mill is the figure being thrown about.

Difference is, Nistelrooy is a GREAT striker. The best finisher I've seen in the last decade. We all know that contracts don't mean much either.
 
I'm sorry but IN MY OPINION (before i get much abuse) Nistelroy is great positionaly but thats it. He scores goals because he's in the right place. I'm not saying thats not a good quality, and he is composed in front of goal, but good finishing is crespo/morientes/gerrard/lampard/need I go on.....15 - 25 yards out one look up bang. theres a long list and RVN is not on it! Yes I'm a Liverpool fan, yes I hate Man U, but I can recognise a good player (Rooney, silveste,van der sar). Thats my 2p on him anyway!

Oh and how much do I want to see SWP at liverpool, that would be great(wont happen tho)

Implication being that RvN is a better player than Shevchenko who is merely 'good'? I don't think so.
 
I agree. And silvestre is a good full back very athletic and not much gets past him. I stuck him in because I was struggleing to think of good man u players. :p
There aint as many as there used to be. scholes is alright but past his prime. Ronaldo is a pansy and cant do anything against a good defense. giggs is and always will be a hero! and rooney is fantastic.
Putting RVN in the same breath as shevchenco is blasfomy tbh. he scores a lot of goals but is nowhere near being a complete striker. no pace, little stregth, ok fininshing(not great) ok movement, good composure and good positioning. no passing no vision. that is not a great player in my opinion, which I am entitled to!
 
Arsenal set to seal Walcott deal

Source www.bbc.co.uk

Arsenal are close to completing their swoop for Southampton's highly-rated youngster Theo Walcott.

Walcott has chosen Arsenal over Chelsea and BBC Sport understands the clubs are now working on the small print of a £12.5m deal.

Lawyers from both clubs are believed to be working on the contracts and Walcott could travel to Highbury for a medical on Thursday.

If Walcott, 16, passes his medical, his moved could be completed on Friday.

Walcott cannot technically sign a professional contract with Gunners until his 17th birthday on 16 March.

As Southampton are a plc, they are obliged to inform the Stock Exchange when the deal has been completed.

BBC Sport also understands that once Walcott's transfer is complete, it is unlikely he will be loaned back to Southampton for the rest of the season.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is concerned the 16-year-old would play too many games for Saints in the Championship.

But with Southampton's play-off hopes fading, boss George Burley is believed to favour making a clean break and not including Walcott in his re-building plans.

Walcott and his family have decided he can best achieve his potential at Arsenal, despite Chelsea being prepared to outbid the Gunners for the precocious teenager.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is a big admirer and let slip at the weekend that a deal was almost done.

Referring to new arrivals Emmanuel Abedayor and Abo Diaby, he said Arsenal had signed "three players" but then changed that to "two-and-a-half".

Asked if he was referring to Walcott, the Arsenal manager said: "I would like to tell you."

BBC Sport revealed on Friday that Arsenal would be coming in with a big bid for Walcott, prompting Wenger to admit later that day that he was an admirer of the teenager's precocious talent.

What chelsea have done to SWP and scott parker is unforgiveable, I just hope he realises his mistake and moves on, he is one of the best young talets for a while alon with rooney and a few others. But you can bet he wont be going anywhere. There is no wonder no-one is buying british, chelsea inflate the price by a mile writing off everyone but them. Liverpool and arsenal dont spend mega big bucks, neither do arsenal.

Chelsea didn't do anything to them they both chose to go there for the large sums of money and the outcome was fiarly predictable. I don't think City and Charlton would have objected to them staying? If players a stupid enough to go to Chelsea knowing the situation then quite honestly they get what they deserve.
