Olallana Posted 14 August, 2013 Share Posted 14 August, 2013 Didn´t Adkins have some cheeky smiles on presses when he was asked about Forren the week before he signed and Adkins got fired...?? To me that suggested that he knew about the signing..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pingwing Posted 14 August, 2013 Share Posted 14 August, 2013 Huddlestone signs for Hull. Decent signing for them. Decent in the sense he will be good in le champ next year but a bit average this year in the prem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smirking_Saint Posted 14 August, 2013 Share Posted 14 August, 2013 Huddlestone is so underrated, I'm really surprised Spurs have sold him. His problem is he has no real legs but he is a great ball player, with the right midfield around him they will be ok. Ive always liked him, he will have to watch his fitness though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verbal Posted 15 August, 2013 Share Posted 15 August, 2013 The Times, which is pretty cautious mostly, is reporting our and Norwich's interest in Bologna defender Frederik Sorensen. (No link - damned paywall.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNSUN Posted 15 August, 2013 Share Posted 15 August, 2013 The Times, which is pretty cautious mostly, is reporting our and Norwich's interest in Bologna defender Frederik Sorensen. (No link - damned paywall.) Two top centre backs would make for an excellent summer of transfer activity defensively (depending on whether Fox stays or goes - if he goes we need a new LB) but it would mean that either Jos or Jose would be out the door.

Olallana Posted 15 August, 2013 Share Posted 15 August, 2013 In a worst case scenario....Dejan Lovren has actually played LB in the national team, but obviously not ideal since we need him at CB... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lighthouse Posted 15 August, 2013 Share Posted 15 August, 2013 Lovren's international team mate Ivan Strinic looked a decent LB at the Euros last summer, caused a lot of problems for Italy and Ireland. Haven't seen any more of him than that, think he plays for Dnipro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
positivepete Posted 15 August, 2013 Share Posted 15 August, 2013 Is Sorensen really a top defender though? Either way if it means Jos never playing again I'm all for it. It is true that the most effective way for a team to improve is to continue to identify and replace the weakest link, but that does not mean the over the top slagging off of those identified as such. There are a number of posters on here who by the nature of some of their remarks makes others wonder who you actually support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monk Posted 15 August, 2013 Share Posted 15 August, 2013 He is an agent I met at a UEFA conference, seemed to know a lot about the Juve wingers move to Sunderland, Napoli and I believe his partner is involved in the Fulham- Darren Bent deal. Seemed legit, he had a FIFA licence with him plus an A8 with Italian plates. Think I may of jumped the gun abit, maybe it was Osvaldo nto Damiao but does our Pablo have any third party issues?

Lighthouse Posted 15 August, 2013 Share Posted 15 August, 2013 I think Bent and Berbatov might win the award for least movement in a strike partnership. Both probably score a few though. I think Hasselbaink and Fowler at Cardiff a few years ago might have given them a run for their money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastor Patrón Posted 15 August, 2013 Share Posted 15 August, 2013 Wages? Age? He's on £2.6mill a year according to google, isn't that half of what Osvaldo would be?

A subtle difference that Del Piero would still need to be at full tilt in his own homeland. In Australia any decline in ability will mean nothing, just like with Ronaldinho in his native Brazil. can't compare Serie A with the A league.

A colleague of mine in Brazil supports Mineiro and he loves him, yet, he is loving life back in Brazil... to move away again would be totally bizarre. He has reinvigorated himself by going home. He can earn millions there and be a hero. It makes no sense for him to leave, especially when he has essentially nothing to prove. And yes: I also would be happy to 'cope' with Osvaldo! haha.

Smirking_Saint Posted 16 August, 2013 Share Posted 16 August, 2013 I imagine Harry still think QPR aren't favourites despite adding another premier league player. Never known a manager need so much quality to achieve so little. So if you were in his position and TF was agreeing to spend money you wouldnt be taking him up on the offer and filling the team with players who personally I think are going to do v well in the NPC ?

Never known a manager need so much quality to achieve so little. He is looking for the Pompey equivalent of Paul Merson - Parker is a very good signing for QPR. However with that team even I could get QPR promoted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
