[Archived] Summer 2011 Transfer Window Part One

[Tim Southampton Rover]

A Brazilian defender sounds better than a defender representing the Congo.

Samba didn't turn out too bad though!

[brfcshabba]

Surely he is already signed for Atletico

[leerovers1980]

According to mirror it's a centre back called Miranda??

never heard of him lol, is that the best we can do, but hey if he's free who cant complain, but it starting to feel like every transfer window with looking at freebies and loans

[JW11]

On FM Miranda is decent :/ hmm

[Poita]

Never really seen Miranda play. What's he like as a player? Any good?

queue the FM'ers.....

[J*B]

Mirianda is quite good in my Brazilian only, fifa11 ultimate team. Naldo is better though.

So, I think we're relatively safe. Honest.

[modes98]

This is true, but who do we replace him with?

Roger Johnson is a tough and assured CB. £10m and I think we get him, he would be worth it imo.

[Hekla]

If Atletico are trying to buy him then he must have some quality. He is at a good age and played for the Brazilian champions. I think he will choose Madrid but we will see.

[Poita]

On FM Miranda is decent :/ hmm

Haha enough said

[Tom]

I knew it would be him. Obvious really.

[chaddyrovers]

That ends that signing then.

Should go for Collins or Bassong or Marcelo for Jones replacement.

[Torgeir]

Two different Mirror reporters have linked us with two different CB's. Much discussion between you boys Nicko???

We need two remember.

[rogerjonesgloves]

Perhaps saying Miranda and Brazilian in the same sentence is just too frightening. Just haven't got the Hart.....or the imagination.

[Mc Love]

Nicko have you any inside scoop on the Roberts transfer to the tractor boys?

[T.J.Newton]

most have somat about him

[LeChuck]

We need two remember.

Not if we move Givet to centre back and buy a proper left back instead.

[roversfan99]

Theoretical question:

Would people be happy with our centre backs for next season being:

Miranda, Johnson, Nelsen, Givet, Hanley

With more money to strengthen other areas?

[my_name_is_Earl]

I know of him, in no great detail to be honest, but I am told by others that he is very comfortable on the ball, fairly tall and athletic without being overtly aggressive.

Sounds like a decent option if we get him on a free, could turn out to be another Samba regarding the low fee (nothing , in this case!). Anybody who has turned out for Brazil on six occasions must have something about them and he has re-sell value as well, if he turns out to be a corker.

[Poita]

I used to date a girl called Miranda... She had south american heritage.

Great defender, no matter how hard i tried i could never get my balls to go in...

Sorry, seems more relavant than the majority of tosh been posted on here atm

Yes. Very.

Bloomin' Heck! Tottenham waved away with a £7m bid as recently as last year.. interesting

I would be extremely happy with that situation. Johnson is very solid and reliable and Hanley is coming through nicely. As for Nelsen and Givet, they'll be as solid as ever no doubt.

[EwoodGlory]

Now Kean is facing a fight to hold on to defender Chris Samba and winger Junior Hoilett.

Has there been any offers for Junior?

[LeChuck]

Roque Junior got over 40 caps! I'm afraid the rule doesn't really work for centre backs.

[hi-jaq]

I've never heard of Miranda but the thought of a Brazilian centre back immediately fills me with fear. Without wishing to be stereotypical, being physical and hard to beat has always been one of our qualities.

Not sure he'd make it as a centre back in this league, seems to have the skill to play full back though.

Whatever he does at about 1:03 into the video is amazing... I'd sign him just for that!!!

Just imagine him doing that against someone like Rooney or Torres?!?!?!

He looks to me like he could play as as defensive midfielder, he certainly looks to have technical ability to play further up the pitch anyway!!!
