[Archived] Summer Transfer Topic

[Hughesy]

Kalinic was £28k, and I see what your saying....but why throw mega more at him??

15k a week to play in the SPL or 16k a week to play in the Premier league?? Who would win?

Depends how much he values Champions League football.

[SamTheShrew]

Depends how much he values Champions League football.

all six games of the group stage, neway.

then its back to the big four games a season against the celts

[Hughesy]

Depends how much he values Champions League football.

More like depends on how much he values his career n wants to progress further.....nothing doing up at Rangers unless you want to win Scottish titles every year and play teams 4 times!

Any player worth their salt would choose prem football over it anyday.

[herbergeehh]

Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet claims we are looking at Moa, who has scored fifteen goals already this season. Moa is 24, Oslo born and bred, and is a hard-working striker with decent pace, touch and a very good shot. Will probably command a fee around 2,5m, at a guess.. any news on this, Nicko? His full name is Mohammed Abdellaoue.

[92er]

The Guardian's rumour mill has us in for Robert Pires today ....

We watched the first 3 weeks of the World Cup in France. I thought he was good-not as good as Petit, but I thought he had retired.

My wife wasn't impressed with his dress sense.

What about the accent?

[Majiball]

But if he scores say 3-4 goals in those six games against decent opposition he'll be off again quickly and to a good club. The other advantage is that Rangers won't demand the kind of fee for him that we would.

We're the desperate ones here. He can probably wait 3 weeks or 5 months for that matter, we can't. If Jelavic was to come, I would be very surprised if he wouldn't be on atleast very near what Kalinic is on.

[Iceman]

Several Premier League clubs will have Moa

Dagbladet): Mohammed Abdellaoue (25) is the domestic league hottest selling item for Monday's three goals against Start.

Asked Tuesday VIF striker at the Norway Cup, and explained that he did not know anything about the speculation. At the same time revealed the ex-coach Uwe Rösler that he personally recommended the tip of the German clubs.

The interest is even greater from England.

Blackburn and West Ham

After that experience Dagbladet Blackburn has now thrown into the battle for VIF-tip.

Previously, West Ham have been mentioned, while Ole Gunnar Solskjaer yesterday dismissed the possibility of Manchester United.

Moa-agent Stig Lillejord do not want to go out with the names of the English clubs who sniffs at tippeligatoppscoreren.

- We know that there is any specific interest from clubs in the Premier League, in addition to those from Germany.

Rovers launch 1.4mill bid for Moa

Blackburn launch £1.4m bid for Norway star

Blackburn have made a £1.4m bid for Valerenga striker Mohammed Abdellaoue.

Sam Allardyce is looking to improve his strike-force after his side scored just 41 goals in 38 Premier League games last season.

And the Ewood Park boss lodged the bid for the Norwegian international after scouts saw him score a hat-trick in Valerenga's 8-1 victory over Start on Monday night.

West Ham, Stoke and Sunderland have all made enquiries for the 24-year-oldover the summer, but Blackburn are the first Premier League side to make a concrete offer.

And although German side Hoffenheim have had a bid accepted, Abdellaoue is holding out for a dream move to England.

[alexanders]

The more I think aboout it, the happier I would be with Moa.

[Lars-Erik]

Agreed! Possibly great resale value too, in contrast to Beattie, Benjani etc..

[Iceman]

what did Beattie and Benjani ever do to you Lars Erik, why are you being so nasty?

[SergioPeter89]

As I have said many times now, Moa would be great for us. Young, not that expensive, wouldnt demand high wage, and he is a very talented player.

[Iceman]

thats good news if we can get Moa for 1.4mill. Sell Grella say for 2mill, bring in Faty and still have about 3mill left for say another striker or creative midfielder. Moa and perhaps Jo on loan would be good.

i would be happy with the following as our strikers

Moa

Jo

Kalinic

and maybe one of Vaughn or Diouf if Roberts goes.

so potential in

Jo

Moa

Vaughn/Diouf

Faty

Out

Grella

Roberts

Rigters

Zurab

Jacobsen

Dated but: "Moa Abdellouae Valerenga to Sunderland - The Insider says: 2/5 The 23-year-old Norwegian striker of Moroccan descent has been attracting interest from most Premier League clubs and the likes of Feyenoord in Holland. Scouts watched him score againsy Bodo Glimt last week and talk has been rife of an imminent £5m bid. A Norwegian international, the one concern is his ability to perform against better class opposition with plenty of goals domestically but none at international level so far"

Can he step up? Seems an exciting player though!

[Exiled_Rover]

Allardyce has just been quoted on BBC Radio 5 as saying the new tax laws are putting off the best foreign footballers from playing in the Prem.

[philipl]

For what it is worth but from reading transfer reports on other clubs it seems that there is a chess game going on over the new squads- smaller clubs not wanted to be caught short so not letting players go out until replacements in and delaying taking loan players in case some real gems are coughed out of the squads of the big boys whilst the big boys are weighing up their options over who is in and out dependent on pre-season form and the risks of injuries disrupting plans.

At the same time there are deals that are not happening because of player demands (Boletelli at City) and ostensibly chains of possible deals forming around non-completing deals particularly surrounding Milner and Robbie Keane. City and Villa appear to be no closer to bridging the £24m to £30m transfer fee gap but it seems City transferring players in the opposite direction might close some of the difference. If that happens, a number of deals which had been anticipated on Milner's transfer become a lot less likely.

Sounds like the last few days of the window could be manic.

[Hughesy]

It seems that alot of clubs seem to be waiting for City to get on with the Milner move, and Spurs with a move for Young....

If those moves happen then several players could start moving (Bentley, Jenas, Keane, Bellamy, Ireland, Onouha)

Then their are clubs waiting for City to start making the likes of RSC (Fulham), Jo (Us), Hart (Sunderland/ Arsenal) available

[SergioPeter89]

Scouts watched him score againsy Bodo Glimt last week and talk has been rife of an imminent £5m bid.

5m bid is wrong.

Vålerenga admitted in a interview this week that they might sell him for 10m norwegian kroner.. Thats about 950k£ or something..

mmmm.........makes you wonder whether city realise that too, knowing their closest rivals i.e villa and spurs are both waiting for city's money , they could delay until 31st aug and bid 30m for Milner and cock the whole league up!!

I bet City don´t think those two are their closest rivals. With all that spending they should already challenge Chelsea and United. But your logic could be correct. Villa must want the deal teke place asap.

[Blue n White Rover]

Well we lost Reid who was on around £30k a week....so if we bring in someone on 15k a week - we would be saving £2.34m over the course of say a 3 year deal.

£3.5m to buy him.....with £15k a week (say a 3 year deal) = £5.84m total package

Someone like Jo - who would comand at least a £35k a week deal (based on 3 year contract) = £5.46m before we pay a fee.

Which would you choose?!

LT reports the Lecce interest in Jacob, it also suggests quite a few teams in Holland & Germany are monitoring him too

He's back!!!! :D:D:D:D

sorry i meant in terms of getting in top 4

For that amount, I really don't see any reason to sign him up. C'mon JW, bring out the penny jar
