[Archived] Big Fat Sam's Shopping List

[ihtd]

Olsson is Swedish as far as i remember and wasn't a product of our academy as TSR pointed out.

[Majiball]

As long as they spend 3 years at the club prior to becoming 21 they count. At least thats how I understood it.

FIFA home grown rules

Didn't he join in Jan 06, so as its now Jan 09 and he's not 21 till may, surely he will count for next years foray into Europe?

Think Sam should take a look at this guy, Sasha Kljestan.

Saw him yesterday when USA played a friendly against Sweden. He was man of the match and scored all 3 goals when they beat us with 3-2.

An attacking midfielder who also can be played as a Winger.

He has been on trial for a week with Celtic and they haven't offered him a contract yet.

Reported cost about £3m.

[American Rover12]

He's going to be class in a few more years. He gets better every game he runs out.

Can play quite comfortably on the wing or in the center. He would be a great asset imo.

Right sided player?

All hypothetical because spending 3m on anyone seems to be way out of our price range these days.

Might be a goer if he'd be prepared to come for a trial with a view to a loan, with an option to let him go without making the deal permanent!.

He plays a majority of his games for Chivas there, but floats toward the attack center much like Bentley did. Has a wicked free kick on him also.

If he went on loan to Celtic he would come here.

Must add he is one of those US players that never stops running and chases back when he looses possession. A much more mobile more skillful version of Clint Dempsy in that regard.

Here is the goals from US Sweden.

Big Sam wants to sign some players and has had his scouts all over the place, but its up to the board to come up with the money. Oh by the way Waggy you must admit that Sam has done a very fine job at Rovers up to now and thats with no money as well.!!!!!!

[Majiball]

Worth a Punt for next year???

Sam knew the score or should have when he took the job on, fact is, as a manager 1,000,000 times better than Ince, his managerial and organisation skills allow him to do a pretty good job without money, however, he is looking for the right player, what do we want more average players or a bit of quality??

Unfortunately, there aint that much quality available in this window!!

Saw the word 'Traore' in title bar as the page was loading and assumed Armand, I was going to agree with that.

It didn't cross my mind that someone would seriously suggesting Djimi. You were joking, right?

I'm going to have to stop skim reading I thought It was the young Gooner, not the pool reject.

I saw the word Traore in your post and assumed YOU were talking about Armand.

Very poor suggestion Maj. Maybe you like him because you both have the letter J in the middle of your name.

[T4E]

That would also explain why you like Young boys.

Board 'ain't for spending guys - it's causing friction. Who do we get if Sam goes?

[dave birch]

Sam's going now?

First clause is fact, second is opinion, third part is speculation.

Careful about speculation, it's against the rules don't you know.

Well if you think they have no intention of spending, they are spending enough money sending their scouts all over Europe - sometime more than once to the same location

[BuckyRover]

See post above yours.

I was quoting LeChuck's post because I read LeChucks post, but interpreted it in the same way as LeChuck had interpreted Majiball's post.

Was that too hard to understand??

The point I was going to make and not just in Europe and Sam travelling as well.

Not helped by City dithering over RSC forcing two shopping lists.

That's going to slow them down.

[Blue n White Rover]

Anyone for Peter Crouch if Roque goes? Not as quick as Roque but has good hold up play and will be an ideal replacement if he goes. Pompey may sell as they need the money, and Crouchy may well want to leave as Defoe has just gone.

He has also been in a relegation battle before with Southampton and would be a good buy in my opinion. Big Sam may want a target man like him up front aswell.

Your Thoughts?

I asked a couple of weeks ago. I still firmly believe Crouchy would be the ideal replacement for Roque if he goes.
