well, as on bluekipper before, might the reason be he is stalling on other players like nugent, richardson, smith etc...because he is trying to get fernandes, using most of the money with him?

I said at the start of the transfer window, as long as we get a defender and a midfielder its ok, we dont need strikers...and now weve got VDM or arteta as a LM...
 

question: Fernandes or Riquelme?

Riquelmes proven to be better but at 29 only has 3 years in him, Fernandes has good skill but inconsistent, however is only yound and could turn out to be a great investment, and hes got about 10 years left in him...
 
Who says he only has 3 years in him. The great midfielders, who thrive on passing abilities go on well past 30. I reckon, Riquelme will play for a top (relatively) club until he is at least 33 or 34, either with us or somewhere else. If we got him on a 5-year deal, I would be chuffed, take him at his peak all the way to the end of his usefulness.

Fernandes, like you said, could have at least 10 years in him, barring injury. He could turn out to be a good investment, or his development could stop and he will only be remembered for his potential that was never fulfilled. At 12mill, he isn't worth that risk right now. 7 is about as high as I would go right now, but I (along with many others) would prefer another 12 months on loan with the signing option at the end. Then, after a full season with us he lives up to his hype, then we fork out the 12 LARGE for him (by then, if he does prove himself, Benfica hold out for 15-18)
 

Get them both on loan, then when weve got the fa cup, uefa cup, semi-finalists in the carling cup and 5th in the premiership, we buy both :)

It'll happen...b) :blink: :huh:

I want at least 4th with the [Poor language removed] being 5th or below. thankyou very much. ;) ;)
 
I am curious why we would win the UEFA and FA cup, but only semi-finalists in the League cup?
 

I say fernandes would be worth a 12m investment, and this is what I would see it as, a young player still developing and will get better and better.

I'm 100% someone will pay 20-30m for him in a few years time.

Not sure if I think he's worth £12M right now... but I'd love to get him for a loan deal for another year with an option to buy him for £12M next summer. Would give Moyes, and us, a whole season to valuate him and see if he can show consistency... because he does have the potential to become huge.
 
Young lad, great skill, great potential but 12 mill a little too much for us otherwise I am sure Moyes would have grabbed him.
 
I think we have one cracking deal in us, possibly a new record signing so I am still holding out hope for Fernandes. Hope springs eternal!
