Transfer Thread

Gillett and Hicks told us we would be dining at the top table in the transfer market.

 

We can trust them

 

Honest.

 

That was based on the spend of Newcastle and Forrest and Yeovil.....

f*** me - I'd forgotten that....we're dining in the c***ing soup kitchen now

[Conrad]

I always thought it was an odd buy to be honest. Especially at the price

I have a theory Carra and Gerrard had a big say over transfer targets that summer, but its only a hunch.

 

possibly

 

The Keane-Barry thing at the expense of Alonso and the Torres-Gerrard system was a strange way whichever way you look at it

 

Though I thought Keane might work out playing in a Dalglish role. Of course, he simply wasn't anywhere good enough to do that. Nor really the sort of player who comes in and leads the line when Torres is out

As someone else put it, we're serving at the top table.

The lads who made that banner, I wonder if they have kept it. I wonder what they think of Tom and George now.

I assumed it was a sarky dig at the pair of goons

[Frosty Jack]

No it was in the first few months, when we were going to be dining at the top table, totally serious.

[Gunga Din]

why is Michael Ryan in the bottom right of that picture

I think it was early days when everyone believed their cowboy boots, waving wads of dollars, amazing stadium design schtick. I remember it as genuine support for them, bragging about their spending power.

looking at the cost, it might be from early to mid 2007, before the redesign

[Maldini]

Something weird goin on with this Babel transfer, he's clearly not wanted but we've turned down two bids in th region of £10m for him? Doesn't make sense.

I have a feeling that things are going to change for this team as soon as the window is shut.

No point taking the money if there's no replacement available/possible/allowed, contractually it will probably be Rafa's decision

[Kite]

Even weirder...

 

How come sean and Maldini said the exact same thing, right down to the typographical errors...

[sean]

:-D

You and Earl Hafler, holding hands sewing banners together ?

Maybe the owners will sell @ deadline and put the money in bank..so Rafa can't spent the money!!

In hindsight that 'Where's Wally' seems a bit misjudged now.

in what way?

I posted the same thing twice, I think he was making it a charm.
