ddidiodion Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 If Fabio can't break in ahead of Taiwo and Traore then he has problems, the guys played in a Champions League final. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

roseboy64 Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 True but Macheda was Warnock's signing. Highly doubt we'd shift him from Benfica to QPR only for Hughes to shaft us and sign Baines or somebody who'd be first choice. 90% sure Fabio's going there to be a starter. Plus Onuoha can play CB as well so Fabio could get games at RB too rotating with Luke Young. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnhughthom Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 That point usually works well when the discussion is about a player that isn't very good. Nope, it works when pointing out that playing in a Champion's League final is not a guarantee of quality. And Traore actually won in the final...

Icondacarver Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 I would rather Fabio stays in England and played in the Premier League. If he goes to Benfica, he might play more but also be away from our influence allowing a sweet talking snake to get his heart wandering towards a permanent move to Portugal / Spain. If Hughes signs him, then Hughes will play him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Gonzo Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 If you're going to post articles in here can you translate them (or run them through google translate anyway) first haha, it's a bit difficult as not many of us are German speakers. I only wanted to correct Pangaea and I assumed he is able to understand German. As compensation I give you the link to the best up to date Kagawa vid. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4Ol-1huJL4&feature=relmfu Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pangaea Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 I actually just reported what was written on the Scandinavian United supporters' website, so I'll blame whoever it was there who made the mistake. I understand some German, but not good enough to read articles and understand it all. In any case, what it shows is that he won't be terribly expensive and that we're hopefully not far off their demands. The sooner we stop fantasizing about Hazard the better, and if we can get Kagawa that will be a definite improvement to our midfield options. If it was somehow possible to get Kagawa and Javi.... muppet mode rather than sense, but that would be a nigh on perfect summer. Also, referring to the video above, is there some kind of conspiracy somewhere that entails every bloody video uploaded to YouTube has to have the most horribly garbage and vomit inducing music known to man???

Jamos5000 Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 He came on as a substitute with 15 minutes to go, Fabio was our first choice right back against Barcelona. Traore? He started the 2005 final Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddidiodion Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Traore? He started the 2005 final So he did, my memory of Champions League finals involving Liverpool is poor at best. All academic as Traore would walk into this QPR side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said that quite a few journalists/agents on twitter are still saying he is going to United as of 1 hour ago. If he wanted 200k pw then we would have backed out of negoiations.

Icondacarver Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Anyway i hope he confirms his move to Chelsea today so i can see what frenzy we get swept up in next. I think it will be Kagawa although he is a more realistic option for us tbh. In other news, was chatting to a friend who works for JPM and he said that our IPO is no longer in the pipeline for them. He said it either means we are using someone else and something is about to happen (most likely) or we have shelved it completely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
