dan99 Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Well that's not exactly true is it...It's a friendly, both teams are tryin to have a run out, get some fitness and raise their PR. Bale is well past the mongo and Adam wants to stop him. Rather than trip him or pull his shirt he steps into him, studs first and gets him perfectly on his achilles. It's a shocker and in pre season it's simply unnaceptable. If that was done to Gerrard or Suarez in any match and potentially ruled them out for a few months you'd be baying for blood. How else are you supposed to step with studs on? He probably did goto trip him, as he loves he cynical fouls, but it didn't look malicious and it's nowhere near shocking. Despite that, the quicker we sell him the better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dustygator Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 I know the rumors with Gaitan were almost certainly rubbish but he's exactly what we need, a dynamic, left-footed winger/playmaker. Quick, loves to run at defenders, can definitely slot into the pass-and-move/one-twos system Rodgers plays. Spending £15M on Joe Allen would be a big misuse of resources. Even with Aquilani apparently leaving, we still have much more depth in midfield than out wide. I don't see Carroll starting so we still need a third player to form the trident with Borini and Suarez and right now our choices are what, Cole and Downing?

LRJ Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Can't believe anybody is mocking City's attempts to sign Agger.

the_cote_kid Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Hmmm, not sure how that works. Even if he reluctantly agrees to the loan now surely he gets the final say before its made permanent? And would west ham have to buy if they stay up? Just get it done permanently. Don't think this really helps us at all, can envisage him coming back next season which won't be much use to us.

Don't think this really helps us at all, can envisage him coming back next season which won't be much use to us. If it's a loan with an agreed transfer, he'll have to agree terms now. If it's a loan with an option, he probably won't.

HUFC Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 BBC reporting it too - you'd have to assume that Rodgers has a couple of players lined up - losing Aqua and Carroll and not replacing them would be poor business, especially when Carroll's is just a 2m loan move. Can't accuse the guy of not having the balls to implement exactly the kind of style he wants, and not compromising on the players that can do it though I guess Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not, no but why agree to a loan, why not £19m straight up or good bye, especially as BR has just come out and said he can fit into the system? Plus it's the culmination of us paying ridiculous fees for average players then taking a 50%+ loss on them. Joe Allen for £15m (if that's what it is) is disgusting too.

If it's a forced transfer, you very much don't as the loan>sale is in your favour I think it's probably set up as loan + conditional future transfer because West Ham just got promoted. If they were to go back down, it would not be good for their finances to have just spent £21M on a striker to now play in the Championship. If they stay up though, the league revenues will cover it fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
