Transfer discussion thread.

Is this bloke a full back or a center half? Winston Reid replacement?

1.88m centre back according to BBC.

Looks like the Kalas loan to Middlesbrough is done.

Hope this works out and he can get some solid minutes. Looked like a future starter for us last season and I hope that this year won't be a total disaster for the kid.

We've made a bid for Shaun Maloney.

He'd be handy right now.

How do you figure he's been rubbish? Maybe for a club like Chelsea but he's still good enough for the bottom end teams.

I watched him 'keep' at Fulham how about?
Even the later years at Boro he wasn't that good.

Sorry for not having a biased opinion. I'll try better next time.

Are you kidding? He was great for Fulham, great for Australia, and played well for Chelsea last season.

Any truth you think with Bony being linked to City?

He certainly did.

No sympathy for him after wasting how many ever years of his career sitting on the bench with your mob.

Really odd move for Juve?

Cup tied as well.

I'm not sure you did watch him keep at Fulham.

Why would I be biased?

When you're the only one with that opinion, it normally means you're wrong. But you carry on sticking your head in the sand.

He's probably set himself up for life though. Pretty smart financially haha.

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

Schwarzer kept Fulham in the PL. Dutch boy couldn't.

Probably not explicitly true but better than the garbage already said.

 

[kane249]

He certainly did.

Including that f'ing game at Anfield!

*shakes fist*

No way has he done that. People over estimate just how long a footballer's wages last. David James declared bankruptcy the other day.

Maybe David James lived beyond his means?

Smart footballers are setting themselves up for a comfy life.

If you're smart, you should be setting yourself up for life.

Even 30k a week, there's no reason he shouldn't be. That's 120k a month.

What was Sinclair on?

Read your first sentence again, and remember what subset of humanity we're discussing.

 

[Bojan KantKick]

Footballers often get bad financial advice or no advice at all.
Sven lost 10m in the gfc which is the only reason he's still working.

They aren't all David James. For all the footballers, there's only a small number that report being bankrupt.

Yep, Robbie Fowler owns over 80 properties and has a net worth of over 31 million pounds

Bit under £50k by all accounts. If he hasn't set himself up for life he needs to get some new advisers. His mrs does strike me as a bit of a spender, although she's got her own money.
