Adrien Silva

[formerly manx toffee]

so it turns out we were after Eder instead and the deal fell through? That's shame, I was actually kind of excited about Adrien.

Always preferred Zico. Had number 10 on my brazil shirt, not number 11. I didn't appreciate those silky blue shorts like I should have.

Excited at this prospect. Lots of potential and someone who can put their foot on the ball and play. Could be our next Arteta...

Would actually prefer a player like this than a striker right now!

What sort of price we looking at?

 

[Christiffa25]

We already have are next Arteta.... Barkley!

 

[Blitzer2011]

barkely is the next Pele!

Its on talksport now, that means its not happening...

I know very little about Adrien Silva but I feel better about this rumour than say the ones linking us with Weir , Campbell , Fuller , Owen or Buddle .

For all of talksport's ills, they actually were the first ones to mention Drenthe as a possibility in August, so not all of their stuff is garbage.

Fee of between £3m- £5m they reckon- really want done creativity in the middle. Create and the goals will come!

Sauce por favor?

I've said for a while I'd prefer a creative playmaker over a striker. Just look at Senegal -- they've got about 6 or 7 top draw forwards that would walk into our side, but they've bombed at the ACON losing to tiny nations because they have no service.

micknick may be a tit. But he's spot on there lids.

 

[Christiffa25]

If we sign this guy I can only imagine Rodwell or Fellani are off.

Otherwise we'd have Fellani Rodwell Gibson ossie Barkley Cahill and silva.

7 into 3 just doesn't work. And we'd still be short on a wing and up top.

 

[micknick]

Decent prospect- pretty young and out of contract in June. Could be just a couple of million or less because of the contract thing...
