briansol Posted August 23, 2009 Posted August 23, 2009 Butt's not what we want, he's just another Grella. We could do with an attacking midfielder not another defensive one. We want a Paul Scholes type player. Spot on. If Williams do read this board we should look at Makhtar Thioune at Molde in Norway. By far the best player in Norwegian League this year and has supplied United bound Diouf with assists. A robust midfielder with a lot of drive and physically robust (similar to Mikel at Chelsea). I rarely advocate players from the Norwegian league, but this guy is far to good for this level.

T4E Posted August 23, 2009 Posted August 23, 2009 Correct. And imo he'd have been mighty shocked and undergone a reallity check when SA told him he was dropped. SW would have thought himself irreplaceable but to any good manager the team always comes before an individual. Given the result at Sunderland he might find one or two of his teammates a trifle frosty on Monday. Not sure I agree on your last point Gord. The boys seemed OK with Roque right to the end. Similar to the point about Moyes, I doubt any of the players would be silly enough to make a stand like that, knowing full well they'd do the same.
Hughesy Posted August 23, 2009 Posted August 23, 2009 BBC Gossip: "Portsmouth are willing to sell midfielder Niko Kranjcar should any other club match their £8m valuation of the Croatia international." Yes please... Id rather we signed Tuncay if we are going to spend that sort of money. Kranjcar has had alot of injuries so £8m would be a mssive price to pay...... Butt's not what we want, he's just another Grella. We could do with an attacking midfielder not another defensive one. We want a Paul Scholes type player. Agree with that one - box to box midfielder who can score a few a season.

Would be over the moon with Tuncay. I'd even change my username to Tuncay4England. Wonder if his wage expectations are dropping as he gets closer to half a season in the Champ.
Bobby G Posted August 23, 2009 Posted August 23, 2009 Hughesy, do you have any info on Tuncay being linked with us?
Lathund Posted August 23, 2009 Posted August 23, 2009 BBC Gossip: "Portsmouth are willing to sell midfielder Niko Kranjcar should any other club match their £8m valuation of the Croatia international." Yes please... £8m Warnock out, £8m Kranjcar in. Yes please. I guess Kranjcar is on higher wages than Warnock though so might be a tough one to pull off. Tuncay would be great too, although he can't play CM in a 4-4-2. Would still be an improvement on the right or as a second striker, but I would rather improve the weakest area of our team (i.e CM) for that kind of money.

Similar to the point about Moyes, I doubt any of the players would be silly enough to make a stand like that, knowing full well they'd do the same. Team spirit is history then Toogs? But 'frosty' doesn't mean pinning him to the wall in the showers and giving him a good paggering, more like avoiding eye contact and being less than jovial in his direction. It won't change much but it will surprise him and take him down a peg or two. One thing it will have done is re-inforce the position of the manager.
T4E Posted August 23, 2009 Posted August 23, 2009 Team spirit is history then Toogs? In my opinion, in this context, yes. These are multi-millionaires thrown together by other people, not a group of mates playing together because they enjoy it on a Sunday morning.
Stuart Posted August 23, 2009 Posted August 23, 2009 Nicko did say that he didnt think Warnock had refused to play. Ok but Sam has said "his head wasn't right" so he's effectively unavailable for selection. The original point was that our hand is being forced. I still think that it is and if Villa hadn't bid Warnock would have been one of the first names down on the team sheet yesterday. Do you think we are willing sellers in this one? Because I don't, and I think he will probably be sold.

Not sure if we're willing, I doubt we're actively looking to move him on, but the board are obviously happy enough with the deal to allow it to happen. I suspect Sam knows where he wants the money to go and is happy to sanction it too. Time will tell, but its hardly a Roque/Lucash situation.

I suspect Sam knows where he wants the money to go and is happy to sanction it too. Let's hope so, and that it doesn't turn out like the striker situation - otherwise the window will be slamming shut on us.

clint Posted August 23, 2009 Posted August 23, 2009 Spot on. If Williams do read this board we should look at Makhtar Thioune at Molde in Norway. By far the best player in Norwegian League this year and has supplied United bound Diouf with assists. A robust midfielder with a lot of drive and physically robust (similar to Mikel at Chelsea). I rarely advocate players from the Norwegian league, but this guy is far to good for this level. I agree, by far the best player in Norway right now. See we are linked with Erik Huseklepp too. I really like him as a player, but think he might be to lightweight for premier league.
Rainmaker Posted August 23, 2009 Posted August 23, 2009 Whatever happened to Alanzinho? He moved to turkish football. Galatasaray I think
ffan Posted August 23, 2009 Posted August 23, 2009 He moved to turkish football. Galatasaray I think I thought that was a nickname that he gave to Alan Nixon. You've taken another couple of Irish lads on trial for your youth academy.
Guest ErinBrown Posted August 23, 2009 Posted August 23, 2009 Bentley marooned on the bench again today for Spurs. We realy should try and get him back, he is exactly what we need in terms of player at the moment.

I rarely advocate players from the Norwegian league, but this guy is far to good for this level. I'll second that. He would (probably) cost a bit less than Diouf as well (his transfer fee is rumoured to be in the £5 m region). As a bonus we would have two El Hadji's in the squad (his full name is El Hadji Mahktar Thioune)
donis1410 Posted August 23, 2009 Posted August 23, 2009 I personally think we should bring in Gareth Bale if we sell warnock and try bring in either kranjar or bentley for the midfield!!!!
The Prof. Posted August 23, 2009 Posted August 23, 2009 I personally think we should bring in Gareth Bale if we sell warnock and try bring in either kranjar or bentley for the midfield!!!! Another wide player? He was a full back anyway and Rednapp wont sell him.
tony gale's mic Posted August 23, 2009 Posted August 23, 2009 I personally think we should bring in Gareth Bale if we sell warnock and try bring in either kranjar or bentley for the midfield!!!! That's far, far more money than we'll have available.
Big Fat Sam Posted August 23, 2009 Posted August 23, 2009 That's far, far more money than we'll have available. Maybe we could get them on HP??
donis1410 Posted August 23, 2009 Posted August 23, 2009 bentley would be available on loan and bale I reckon we could get for 5 mil
Iceman Posted August 23, 2009 Posted August 23, 2009 I personally think we should bring in Gareth Bale if we sell warnock and try bring in either kranjar or bentley for the midfield!!!! Are you serious? We dont even have money for pies
niggit Posted August 23, 2009 Posted August 23, 2009 Think we could get Benley back, but if we get the money from them, and not the bank. But also depends on where Salgado will play
