This shocking and unacceptable lack of activity

[Reds08]

Who is going to sell us one of their better players and if they do decide to sell how much for? Not ****in cheap I bet.

Pedersen or Richardson left side for starters.

Owen up front.

Reo Coker.

I hope you're joking

I hope you're joking

Owen yes, the other three no.

Exactly the point I was making on my very successful Forlan thread. If we signed 3 or 4 Spanish based players we will have yet another SHAMBOLIC start to the season. But don't try and tell this to the masses, we are getting torres, villa, silva, tevez, eto'o, malouda, mancini etc etc. The delusion on this board knows no bounds.

Wow - you're ****ing great.

All hail the successful Forlan thread

Richardson? Kieran Richardson? Seriously?

[fah-q]

Charley Richardson would be better than Keiran

Not to mention Reo-Coker

If we sign Reo-coker we should also sign veteran german stopper Jurgen Kohler too.

Richardson? Kieran Richardson? Seriously?

In the long run I think Richardson will go to somewhere like Newcastle and become a late developer. His movement and positioning is excellent, his decision making on the ball is actually the worst I have ever seen in a player. You would hope with a bit of experience he would aquire at least one skill.

It is also the only logic I can make work for why Fergie keeps him on.

I admire your optimism.

I think he's absolutely wank. All he's got in his locker is a decent free-kick and a bit of pace. That, as far as I can see, is it.

Three questions

1. From which league does Rafa make most of his signings?

2. When does that league season finish?

3. How many major signings have been announced from that league so far?

So you can look elsewhere (ie don't pursue your first choice signings) or you can secure the long term futures of your main players, work behind the scenes and look to finalise your deals after the season is over.

Shocking and unacceptable or simply a bad case of knee jerk disease?

We signed Kuyt last year on the 18/8/6 - after the 3rd round of the CL Qualifiers. It doesnt currently doesnt look like we are signing a 1st term player immimently (but neither does anyone). I think the earliest we will hear anything at this rate will be early July.

Seriously the first U21 match at the new Wembley was hilarious. He got himself in brilliant positions but wasted possesion so often. By the end of the first half the other England players were visibly avoiding passing to him.

When I say a late developer I'm thinking more Kevin Phillips than Zidane.
