    That's really code for 'we don't want to sell. Piss off.' though.

    Would suit Pulis' style of football you'd imagine. Hopefully he gets a decent amount of gametime.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    100%. The owners want the clubs to remain in the Premier league and the Deeney Ighalo partnership is central to that.

    There's a career that went out like a light.

    City and Chelsea looking at Alex Song,he qualifies as homegrown so that's probably the only reason they are tracking him.

    Already signed Young's replacement, and clearly working on Vals

    Crazy as it sounds i would rate both of them better then Nani .....

    Young as bad as he is does make a effort on the pitch same witch Valencia both do there job ok there not great but i think there better then Nani. Who hasn't cared for a long long time in a Utd shirt. Yes Nani had a good run of games there a few years ago but since then he has done notting what so ever for the team.

    I would rather Young as a Squad player witch the extra games this season then Nani at lest he works hard out on the pitch.

    While remainder Valencia isn't a winger anymore for utd he is a right back now.

    If we get over 8 mil for him where doing extremely well.

    Liverpool 'eye deal for Juventus striker Fernando Llorente as Christian Benteke move stalls'


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,548 ✭✭✭✭CSF


    I do not rate Llorente very highly. When was he last good?

    He's not terrible, but he's a very limited player.

    If they have wingers who can whip in a cross and plan on playing very direct he might do a job but to be honest, he's the wrong side of 30, was never particularly fast and has been out of form since he left Spain.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,316 ✭✭✭✭extra gravy


    Is Llorente not more of a target man? Can't see how he would suit Pool's style of play.

    Big olde fashioned battering ram type.

    What's up with Liverpool looking for a target man? That's just not their style

    He's better than West ham in fairness.

    Rodgers seems to have a thing for them though... Lambert at 'Pool, Graham at Swansea...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,503 ✭✭✭brianregan09


    He's the spanish Andy Carroll go on Liverpool sign him :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,860 ✭✭✭✭inforfun


    23 goals in 65 appearances for Juve. Subbed a lot though so better take the minutes he played in account > 4400 which is about 49 full matches.

    Scored enough goals for Bilbao under Bielsa who doesnt exactly play hoofball.

    All depends on the money you spent on him. Juve had him on a free.

    Geoffrey Kondogbia has signed for Inter Milan for 40 million euro

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,428 ✭✭✭Talib Fiasco


    Kind of a sideways move for Kondogbia although he'll probably leave within a year or two again. Fantastic talent.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,554 ✭✭✭✭cson


    €40m =~£28m - I'd be a bit annoyed as an Arsenal fan if we haven't gone in for him at that price if we are in the market for a player in his position.

    I'd imagine we just aren't looking in that position as AW would have seen two very good games from him in the CL against us, so I doubt that its because he doesn't fancy him.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,363 ✭✭✭JohnDaniels


    I thought Inter Milan were kind of broke?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,678 ✭✭✭TrustedApple

    Not any more they got bought well 70% of it about a year and 1/2 ago by some lad from Indonesia and he is worth quite a bit.

    So they now have the money to invest in players again.

    The same is AC 49% of it was sold there a few months ago and they also have new money to spend as well.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,561 ✭✭✭Winston Payne


    They were in a bit of bother with FFP on their last accounts. But sure that looks like it's coming to the end of the road anyway.

    You'd want to be pretty sure about him at that price
