Transfer discussion thread.

well since leaving liverpool he's won 2 european cups and a euro's, along with the golden boot in the euro's, and still getting paid a truckload of cash.

there's been far worse falls of grace.

 

[LukasTheGreat]

I could go to Chelsea and win European cups too, from an individual perspective it was a massive fall from grace.

 

[BlueBen]

Well yes, he's been successful from a team achievement standpoint and has definitely been well remunerated. I don't think anyone is denying that.

But in terms of an individual declining in status from one of the best players in the world to just an ordinary player in almost the click of a finger, I think it's one of the biggest falls from grace.

Still has another 18 months as well with good money.

He'll then likely go to the US or something on good money.

Good money.

 

[FAITH]

Can you?

how is that funny and my comment isn't?

seems a little bias

Because you're not funny. Your comment was stupid.

Good money.

so its all about money?

Why wouldn't it be when he can't actually perform at the highest level anymore?

 

[FAITH]

he hasnt performed at the top level for the past 5yrs, maybe he shouldve trained harder

 

[pantskyle]

Why would that matter? He still gets paid.

You know what though he does actually train hard. I bet he trains super hard and gives his all but after that injury he can't use what was his best asset, speed.

Yep, his body is shot.

 

[pantskyle]

Yep, his body is shot.

Without a doubt but he won't retire and he also wants to prove he can still play. (nor should he retire with the money he is on).

could you win 2 international tournament golden shoes and make the confeds cup team of the tournament?

it's clearly been a fall in ability but not even close to the biggest. that's just overkill. he's had an injury, lost his pace and most importantly lost his confidence. right now he's either at one of the biggest clubs in italy or he goes back to one of the biggest clubs in england. people have had it far worse.

Paul McShane retweeted about ten City supporters begging for him not to be sold then tweeted something along the lines of "Overwhelmed by the support and could keep tweeting all night, but have to be up early for U21 Training!"

Seems to have been frozen out and definitely off in January, which is a shame, as he's been at the club about 6 years, and was with us the first time we were up.

I'm guessing if you asked Torres whether he gives a s**t about his 'biggest fall from grace', he'd have a similar response like this:

Just asking. Yeesh.

 

[Nallad]

Real Madrid have ruled out signing Reus.

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

Lol at the paper reports saying Delph will be liverpools next gerrard

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

Us and city battling it out for rakitic apparently didn't be just move to barca probably more s**t

 

[Sub_Zero]

Lolwut

 

[typeclub]

Rakitic did just move to Barca but they may wanna play hot potato since he hasn't done too well. I don't know why City or United would want him though

 

[Jatz]

Would Torres be the greatest player to play at Leicester since Savage?

Esteban says hello.

 

[jod23]

Lol at the paper reports saying Delph will be liverpools next gerrard

Did find that funny. Delph isnt a bad player but next Gerrard? Haha. Yeah I dont think there will be any next Gerrard.

West Ham are signing Doniel Henry from Toronto FC for about $1.5M pounds if a Work Permit gets the green light on Monday.

He's a raw 21 year old Central Defender who's played 14 times for the Canadians already.

Very similar signing to when we got Winston Reid after the 2010 World Cup, raw but with a lot of potential and ability.

Fat Sam's always been pretty good when it comes to training up quality defenders, so he might end up being pretty good 2-3 years from now...

Lucas Silva dreams of joining Real Madrid and is happy to go now or in June.
