Aristotle 5th Gear January 9, 2014 Share January 9, 2014 This Jan window a bit quiet for Pool. So many players linked, but none even closed to signing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osprey23 Turbocharged January 9, 2014 Author Share January 9, 2014 This Jan window a bit quiet for Pool. So many players linked, but none even closed to signing Ya tough going. Would have tied up one if not for Basel to shift goal post and demanded for more. After flirting with a couple of DMs, now is likely back to M'Vila where negotiating with Ruben would not be easy. Will drag on for this window I feel Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shorty Turbocharged January 10, 2014 Share January 10, 2014 they should go after mvila more than salah. if i remember correctly, mvila wont cost a lot right? n since zenit wanna pay more, let them see if salah wants to join. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need reinforcement in centre mid more than attacking player, since Sturridge will be back soon. Of course get both more ideal lah Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardball Ruben want £22m for M'Vila. Salah holding out for LFC. £9m was our offer and we usually quite firm. If we really pay more to match Zenit's offer, only shows how much BR wants him. agree. We need reinforcement in centre mid more than attacking player, since Sturridge will be back soon. Of course get both more ideal lah Salah will take some weight off Sterling. Also, with him and Sterling together, can bring Coutinho to the middle in his favourite N10 role. So tactically, Salah gives BR options. We could have this option if Moses doesn't suck this much. Shocking from him really. DM is a priority I strongly believe. Options running out. mvila just joined. Rubin wont let him go cheaply. They buying M'Vila then is to flip for profit. So you are right.

Shorty Turbocharged January 10, 2014 Share January 10, 2014 oh ok...wrong info. tot mvila is cheaper. then in that case..boh pian. dont think fsg has that much money. anyway...no matter they buy winger or DM, hope that gerrard will b dropped to make way for a new lineup. seperately, read in soccernet that PSG willing to pay 50-60m euros for pogba?? is he THAT gd?

I wont be surprised that BR will walk away. max 15m for me. DM is a problematic position as we only have Lucas who is a natural DM. In crunch games, esp away fixtures, whereby we need to sit tight behind the ball, we need to play 2 natural DMs... Sterling has the potential but can be inconsistent in games, esp crunch games. Therefore, he does need competition to keep his socks up. If Salah can come around these prices, I think it might not be a bad idea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shorty Turbocharged January 10, 2014 Share January 10, 2014 if pool is to buy another winger, i feel that someone as young n good as sterling will b ok. on current form, sterling deserves a first team spot. but, pool must not play him too much at risk of burning out. so, if there is someone similiar to him, they can replace each other. both will get enough play time to develop, but also will b happy enough to b a sub. if pool is to buy an established expensive winger, sterling's progress will b halted n pool will waste another quality youngster.

Osprey23 Turbocharged January 10, 2014 Author Share January 10, 2014 errr, Lucas is not even a natural DM He's effective but not imposing enough IMO Too many definition liao. If we just go strictly on the role which they play, Lucas is a DM. Natural or not, I reserve my comment since he was converted to that role by Rafa. Imo, Lucas can do the job for BR as the recycler as his technical skill is there and decent passing. What he lacks, that I feel is his physical presence and thus like what you say, not imposing enough. To further improve BR's 1-2 midfield triangle, a more mobile and imposing DM is needed. Someone like M'Vila will be good sterling still only 19 you know?? pool is setting them young and could be another "arsenal" in a few years time should the right talent be spotted and given chances... FSG like the Arsenal model anyway. That's why they chosed BR who had extensively worked with youth team setup previously. I am not worry about BR not giving chance to youngsters. I am more worried that he gives them chances too hastily. Eg, Smith vs Chelsea. He is clearly not ready for that match. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osprey23 Turbocharged January 10, 2014 Author Share January 10, 2014 Real Madrid open to loan offers for Morata whos in search of more regular football. They will accept a loan fee of around £1.7m. Reported that Pool and Arsenal interested. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamburger Hypersonic January 10, 2014 Share January 10, 2014 i would say Lucas at many times saved the arse of the CD, chasing back and defended timely for shots or assists in goals Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osprey23 Turbocharged January 10, 2014 Author Share January 10, 2014 (edited) Rubin Kazan newly appointed manager Rinat will meet with M'vila next week to discuss his future but player still wants a move to Pool. Hopefully things will start moving next week. Apparently, M'Vila under their new executive structure & manager is £10m. 50% discount.
