100% Saint Posted 2 July, 2013 Share Posted 2 July, 2013 I haven't trawled through all of the pages but 10 people have probably said this before but I think we can afford Michu at a £12m release clause I believe, he would go well with Rickie and I would love for him to join the Saints. We need another goal scorer and Michu seems a very good choice. Only problem with him is that he screams like a girl when he scores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toon Saint Posted 2 July, 2013 Share Posted 2 July, 2013 Do you really expect him to start throwing money around like a man with six arms? ? No, I'd be disappointed with his use of four extra limbs. One could at least be used to tickle agents while negotiating with players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Le God Posted 2 July, 2013 Share Posted 2 July, 2013 Think Stoke have snapped up a bargain in Muniesa!!!! Great piece of work there Time will tell I guess, from what I have seen, bags of potential! We must be next with a WOW signing I wouldn't call a player on a free from Barcelona B a "WOW signing". He may well be a good player (I don't know), but it isn't an awe inspiring signing. Yeah, totally. Only rubbish like xavi, iniesta, puyol, valdes, messi, Pedro, busquets, bojan, thiago motta, thiago alcantra, giovani and tello have turned out for that crap. If you go back far enough, they've got a history of producing ineffectual, boring footballers... Guardiola, de la Pena, Sanchez, Amor, carrassco. And were any of them released from Barcelona B on free transfers? My point was a player released from Barcelona B is not a "WOW signing". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither of those are relevant examples, they weren't released on free because the weren't good enough. I was also saying such a transfer doesn't have the "wow" factor, not that by default being released makes him a bad player. He may well be a good signing for Stoke but that wasn't my point.

Muniesa hasnt been released as he isnt good enough, unfortunately you cant explain everything within the constraints of game programing. All i am saying is at times players move on, some want game time over mobey etc He is a good player and a great free signing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebel Posted 2 July, 2013 Share Posted 2 July, 2013 Marc Muniesa and Erik Pieters are great signings by Stoke - although one is a centre back who can play left back and the others a left back who can play centre back I'd have been very happy with either of those signings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super_Saint Posted 3 July, 2013 Share Posted 3 July, 2013 Good signing for Stoke, I've heard good things about him. Strange seeing a player going from Barca to Stoke though. Here's a picture of him on the way to the airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNSUN Posted 3 July, 2013 Share Posted 3 July, 2013 Another substitute appearance today (13 mins) against Nigeria, Uruguay won 2-1. Nothing, if anything, will happen until his tournament finishes. Bloody tournaments. I can see him joining us, young, seemingly gifted, same nationality as Ramirez which might help and all in a position we need more quality in. However even if he does sign after the tournament, he'll need time off before he can pre-season train. Still would be a good acquisition from what I've heard. On here. Which admittedly isn't the be all and end all of knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niceandfriendly Posted 3 July, 2013 Share Posted 3 July, 2013 Man Utd released Pique, and Barca may lose Thiago cheaply, it happens, I know you love the pedantry but sometimes I feel like your frothing at the gash to prove someone wrong. MLG can be very annoying at times, but at others it's clear that people have a go at him for the sake of having a go at him, as above. He said it's not a wow signing, which is isn't. Not every player who has played for Barca B is a genius, so Crab Lungs listing great players who have played for them doesn't mean anything. Pick up on MLG when he's being a pedantic c*nt or dull b*stard, but when he is just making a point (and a decent one at that) don't have a go, as it makes you look more stupid than he.

Yep, He's very much correct Muniesa is not a 'wow' signing. Maybe if he was 17/18 but he's 21 now and hasn't progressed as much as Barca wanted or needed. He may become a good player in the future given some games but I doubt he'd make our first team and I doubt he'll make Stokes to be honest. Most of his experience is from Spanish second division football. I doubt any centre-back we signed from the championship would be a wow signing. Jordi Amat, who is the same age and also Spanish is a much better signing IMO for Swansea, they've already got De Guzman back on loan if they get Bony as well they will have a very decent squad next year.

Spaceman Spiff Posted 3 July, 2013 Share Posted 3 July, 2013 I'm in serious Rip Van Winckel territory here. Following the demise of saintschat I've not looked at any Saints boards in years. It's not changed a bit! Same people trotting out same lines, same trolls, same wind ups, same hysteria as soon as we don't sign anyone for two weeks. It's leading me to question my perception of reality. Have the past 8 years actually happened? Or are my memories all a fictitious? Am I still a bored student about to get banned for the 100th time by Legg for trolling about how Lowe is god? Anyway, all good stuff. I like how the "I've PMd a few people who are ITK" still serves to add credence to wind ups. I also like how the plastic fan issue has resurfaced with promotion.
