Franck Ribery

[New York Red]

I've been wracking by brains thinking about who would be the player we could sign, with our reasonable present finances, who would make the most impact for us.

 

I think it is Ribery. he would really do a job for us for the next 5-6 years.

 

Any thoughts?

[Stevie H]

yes, yes and yes. get him in.

 

he can't fail in the footsteps of cheyrou, diouf, cissé and ferri.

[McBain]

If only to see Rafa get one ahead of Wenger

[DarthVader]

He'll be signing for Real Madrid in the summer so we can forget it with or without DIC money.

[smokescreen]

An added bonus being that he is surely from the bloodline of Beardsley.

[Cunny]

can we afford £20m on present finances?

[Magic8Ball]

have we actually sold Cisse or is he on loan ?

 

The sale of Cisse could cover 1/3 -1/2 of the Ribery fee

That's a lot, would he really cost that much?

[Kahnee]

yes, yes and yes. get him in.

You forgot Diomede

[surf]

So did i. Thanks for reminding me

[Sion]

If we got som DIC money then hell yes, but there are other more pressing areas where we need improvement.

[Guest ritchie_50]

Go for him and then after losing out to Arsenal, go in for David Prutton instead.

If there's a worse player in the history of the World Cup with a winner's medal, I will be amazed. Absolute sh*te. Saw him in Wades once, he's about five foot f*ck all

 

As for Ribery, cracking player but looks like he's off to Madrid. Definitely have him though.

Gu'iv'ar'ch'?

[theredfella]

Gu'iv'ar'ch'?

 

At least he scored a few goals in France. Sh*te for Kenny and the Barcodes but still had a decent reputation.

He was absolutely rubbish

[theredfella]

He was absolutely rubbish

 

For the Geordies, granted, but I think he had a decent record for Auxerre and Rennes (?) ?

We've missed out on Prutton Beeb

[mrjunk]

can't stand prutton, he just looks like a kiddie fiddler

[theredfella]

No great loss IMO, massively overrated.

[Guest Anders Honoré]

yes, yes and yes. get him in.

Dammit. Might as well not bother now.

[Rimbeux]

He's a good player but grossly grossly overpriced. Nowhere near as good as Pires was, and for the money he's being touted for he should be at the very least his equal. This recent Sky hype thing has spread beyond our shores, first sign of talent and agents get busy myth-making.

Imo, he was better than Pires was in France. I am amazed at the leap he made after he went to Arsenal.

That's a key point, there's every chance Ribery could drop his apparant level in tougher company, more chance than kicking on perhaps? Agree on how Pires grew

[tomasjj]

yes, he would be a great buy for us

pires was jusr decent in france

ribery i more suited to the PL, and more direct
