Nuri Sahin

awesome signing! really happy with this signing. thats our midfield sorted out. now get another forward in!

[RedReet]

Such a shame we missed out on Diame.

Sahin will link play better and as such we'll create more & better chances. That's where the goals will come from.

Stupendous signing right out the top drawer. I'd still like to see a top goalscorer sign, but even if we had one I'd be wanting another signing somewhere else.

If we do flog Carroll though and sign someone like Daniel Sturridge or Klass-Jan Huntelaar, I'll be fooking delighted

We haven't made a signing that's over 25 years old yet. Assaidi, Borini, Sahin and Allen all under 25 Very good. We are following the model that FSG wants but even better than that all of our signings are relatively experienced at a high level.

Fixed for you.

Henderson was the worst player we had last season for challenging for the ball despite being the midfield who played most often, he is not a good CM, he doesn't cover the back line and he doesn't create or score enough.

Glad to intervene.

Don't at all understand what people see in him.

Just because we didn't get option to buy doesn't mean we can't at the end of the season anyway. An option to buy just carries an agreed upon future purchase price. Apparently we have first refusal on him too if he does leave Real permanently...

Madrid official statement

http://www.realmadrid.com/cs/Satelli...2012-08-25.htm

El Real Madrid C. F. and Liverpool FC have reached an agreement for the transfer of the player Nuri Sahin.

Have they hired Ian Cotton for that statement?

[RichC]

it doesn't say much does it! You'd read it as we've signed him on a perm deal rather than on loan!
