Is the answer on our doorstep?

Moyes has quite rightly said that any foreign signings would take time to integrate. However, we are in grave danger of doing a Spurs and being miles off the pace come October so a quick fix is required.

Can I suggest that we forget about Argies, Africans and Russians for this season and instead sign up Alonso and Finnan from the RS and Johnson and Ireland from City.

Three quality signings and a better right-back than currently available.

That's assuming we've got the money!!

 

[Sharpys top lip]

Out of them 4 players mention'd. I'd only wany Johnson. But then again, what do i know!!

What would be Alonso's asking price? I can't imagine Benitez making it worth our while..

Would defo have him but can't see it happening to be honest. Benitez would try to fleece us at every turn the fat ballbag! :blink:

not so sure on ireland but the other 3 definitely, thats assuming moyes [Poor language removed] neville off and doesnt decide to play finnan in goal or somewhere else he doesnt play to accommodate him

Would be par for the course then. RS try to screw over everyone on the transfer market.

I'd take Alonso, class player who'd offer us something completely different. I'm not to fussed on Johnson at all to be honest.

Any signings are going to have to come in straight away and I hope Moyes isn't stupid enough to play the kids over the new players. If he does then we will be beaten again.

This is why I've said time and time again what where doing is very risky. Defensive midfield is a very important position and leaving it this late is stupid as the new player might need time to adapt.

Look at what they initially wanted for Scott Carson! £10 million for that [Poor language removed]! And then they have the cheek to crititise Villa for slapping a £18 million pound price tag on Gareth Barry!! Hypicritical [Poor language removed]!

Surprised we haven't even been linked with the likes of Downing and Shaun Wright Phillips.

I'm not surprised to be honest mate, look how many players we've been linked with over the summer and signed none. It's depressing

 

[SteveSC]

Do you honestly think the RS would entertain us if we bid for them?

Also do you reckon they would play for us? I doubt it very much.

Totally agree with ya mate

Why would Alonso risk the wrath of fans that love him to join us?

Alonso would play for us. [Poor language removed] fans would be irate, he's a fan favorite. However, if he gets sold the venom would be directed at Benitez not at Xabi. Even most [Poor language removed] fans aren't dumb enough to think that Barry is an upgrade.

Its rumored that Alonso hates Benitez and has been wanting out for a while. Its easy to see why. Benitez benched Xabi for the sole purpose of sticking it to the board, and when he finally came in he was the best player on the pitch.

Rafael wants Barry as a replacement for Alonso. However he wants 20M for Alonso and Barry only costs 18M. I guess that's fat waiter for ya. I think Arsenal offered 12-14M for Xabi and it was turned down. So needless to say Xabi isn't coming here. If we had that kind of money Mutinho would be here by now. That's fat waiter logic for ya.
