SCIAG Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Ashley Williams?Ben Turner would have been easily the best defender in the league if he hadn't got injured in November. Still out with that injury fgs No, Adie Williams Replace "Ben Turner" with "Alex Pearce" and remove the last sentence, and you're closer to the truth.

G-Man11 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Just checking! I've never seen Alex Pearce so can't comment on him but Ben Turner is a really good player. Luckily Turner is playing a few friendlies this week so he might be fit enough to finally return post international break. Optimistic that with Turner back we can start winning some games.

Matthew Le God Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 £2m for a player who has never even played above League One. Crazy stuff £12m upfront rising to £15m for Alex Chamberlain (which I think will prove to be a bargain for Arsenal, as he will soon be worth a great deal more than that, just like Bale and Walcott) Far more than just the level a player is playing determine the price he is sold for. You always seem to overlook a players quality (which itself is just one of many factors), and continually suggest that a player at a lower league club by default isn't any good. Both West Ham and Saints bidding for Baldock suggests he is considered to be of a decent quality and also boosts the price. Supply and demand.

johnwalker Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 As much as of a dick MLG is I remember when we signed a left sided player from Luton who helped us get out of this league, despite the fact he had only played 3 seasons, two in League 1 and one in League 2. But fgs shut the **** up about beating Stockport to the signing of Benjani, Blackburn did offer him a contract so I don't think he suddenly thought he would drop down to the BSP.

Sheer Class Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Pompey have signed Hungarian 6ft 5 in striker Marko Futacs on a one-year deal with the option of a further two years.The 21-year-old was at Werder Bremen last season, but spent much of the year on loan at Bavaria-based club FC Ingolstadt 04. And now he is looking forward to showing what he can do with the Blues. “It’s very exciting and I’m very happy to be here,” said Futacs. “It’s fantastic to come to England and I will work very hard to impress the fans. “I’ve trained with the team and it’s different from how things were in France and Germany, but I think this is the best place for me – the English game suits me and the way I play. “My first job is to get into the team and get used to the style of play here, but I am a striker so obviously I am also looking to score goals. “I’ve heard the Pompey fans are fantastic supporters and I can’t wait to play in front of them.” Futacs began his career in his homeland with Keruleti and Ferencvarosi TC, before moving to Nancy in 2006. Hescored 18 goals in 21 games for the French club’s second team and moved to Germany to sign for Werder Bremen in 2009. Futacs has played at various age groups for his national side, helping Hungary to a third-place finish in the 2009 FIFA under-20 World Cup in Egypt.

Matthew Le God Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 What you meant has no bearing on what you wrote not when it doesn't suit me ffs Even if I had said "Walcott is worth more than £15m", I would still stand by that. He is a 22 year old Arsenal and England squad regular, given the current state of the transfer market I don't think it is unreasonable to say Walcott would cost someone a lot more than £15m. Remember, English player prices are crazy, Andy Carroll is apparently worth £35m and Jordan Henderson £20m! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icelander83 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I would argue that what clubs demand for their players is not their actual value in the grand scheme of things, just what they are worth to the two clubs involved. Put it this way: would you have ever paid that amount of money for Carroll/Henderson? Hell no, that's nowhere near their actual value. I would say Walcott at around 15m is at the top of his range tbf, he's never done anything consistent to merit any more money than that. All he has for him is his age and the hope that he might actually reach his potential at some point. Would Arsenal sell at 15m? Not a chance in hell, probably somewhere around 25m at least. Of course the obvious reasoning would be that a player is worth whatever was paid for him but I don't think that holds up in all cases, especially with transfers of young English players between English clubs.
