We don't actually play another top 4 contender (unless you count West Ham and Southampton) until mid-March when we play Tottenham. Hopefully by then, we'll be comfortably in 3rd.

Ya, pity they are not more active. Rumours of a world tour at the end of 2015...but it will probably clash with a CL night!

They have gone through some band turmoil, members leaving, returning etc but they are still excellent, and Smooth was a Santana song featuring the incredible vocals of Mr Rob Thomas

Yes, I love him.

Thanks Mum!

There's a serious lack of Tony V in that poster

The Cantona one stands out.

Well isn't this a great start prior to the transfer window

Cantona's Collars · 30-12-2014 02:32PM

We can scratch Perez off our list,Benfica knocked a few million off their price and a deal has been done with Valencia.

The Star is claiming Miranda is available from Atleti for £19.5 million.

PhlegmyMoses · 30-12-2014 02:39PM

Miranda is 30. 20m isn't a whole lot but I'd be hoping for somebody a bit younger. It really is a golden age for attackers and the bronze age for defenders

I'd be happy enough with him. Rock solid and dependable, could easily get four seasons out of him, he would be a good influence on the younger defenders.

pmasterson95 · 30-12-2014 02:47PM

No. Not a 30 year old at that price....only good for maybe 2 - 3 years?

Yeah the last 30 year we signed was just the worst.

Well I meant I'd prefer to sign someone a bit younger than 30 and a longer term solution sure older players can work to but it means position will just need adressing again short term.

He is very good, there's just a lot of risks with older players. They need to hit the ground running. If they need a bedding in period, they'll be a year older. Within 2 years, you're already looking for replacements. I wouldn't be averse to signing him, I would just prefer somebody a bit younger.

It all nice and romantic that we get an 18 year old and he never leaves, but that rarely happens. It's not the modern game.

Would be worth getting a good 28/29/30 year for 3 years or whatever and replace him rather than doing a Liverpool and buying potential. Especially now at this point in the clubs history.

Miranda... is no Robin van Persie. Unless you were referring to someone else, given that we signed van Persie about a week after his 29th birthday?

The post above this explains it more.

In an ideal world we would be signing 24/25 year olds who have proved themselves. Right now, we don't really have that.
If there is one out there, then by all means let's go buy him and forget about Miranda.
Right now, we don't have that option, but if we were to buy a 30 year old for 20 million, I wouldn't mind, if Welbeck is worth 16, who was undervalued , I do not mind spending that on Miranda. This is the the modern transfer market where fees have doubled in the last few years.

Bring Miranda in fr 2/3 seasons. Not too bad, we have experience there now, rather than 2 young lads who wouldn't have got near the team if it wasn't for injuries.

To be pedantic, rvp was in his 30th year. But I get ya.

Edit: Miranda would be a meh signing, not awe inspiring. a transfer done as a result of injuries, not a transfer for the future, but a transfer for the now.
