Lescott Calm On Transfers

EFCNIK · July 18, 2008

I want Joaquin.
I want Fernandes.
I want Moutinho.
I want Arshavin.
I want Milito.
I want MBia.

I will not be happy if even a single one of these deals doesnt go through :dodgy:

Yawn. This really is getting boring. There is really two transfers of note in that whole list.

And yes, other clubs aren't signing players. They typical off season is a flurry of signings and we have had a couple hit the news so far.

Personally I don't give a flying what other clubs are doing. Just because money is being spent doesn't mean it will be spent well. Come on, almost 20 mill for Jo!!???!?!?! Ridiculous.

And for the guy who said the [Poor language removed] are buying squad fillers like we should be doing, no. No, no, no, no, no. We should be buying players who improve the team. Not to make up numbers.

Top post Dylan, the rest are all buying to catch up with us, i wouldnt get to excited about who anyone else has signed, the only one i am disapointed we missed out on is Ramsey.

I'm quite confident Moyes will get the players he needs. I think we'll get around 5 players in. Two to go into the first team, one to be around the first team and two as backup.

Backup Goalkeeper: Loan
Backup centre half: Loan
Midfielder: Manuel Fernandes: 6 million
Midfielder: Stephane M'Bia: 4 million
Striker: Darren Bent: 12 million

Something like that maybe. I do think we need one big signing in the range of 8-12 million. Someone proven who will produce the goods and get the fans excited.

Mate ive devleoped an awfull habit lately of agreeing with almost everything you write! I would be made up come Sep the first if the above came to pass. I would love if the Budget would streach to a good young centre half as well.

We need atleast 4 signings i think,

Striker
3 Midfielders (DM, CM L/RW)
Maybe a reserve goalie, although im happy with Ruddy...

...so if i was manager, id probably:

Sell johnson

buy:

M'Bia,
Fernandes
Joaquin
Bent

...and some keeper...

I think we wont get Bent though, as Keane and Berbatov are on their way out...

I'd prefer another midfielder onstead of Bent.

'Other clubs aren't signing players'

Is he sure about that? Club's around us:

Spurs (Modric, Dos Santos, Mpoku, Ranieri,); Villa (Davies, Sidwell); Liverpool (Degen, Dossena, Bushtman, Saric, Poloskei, Cavalieri); Man City (Trotta, Jo); Portsmouth (Little, Sahar, Crouch).

We are getting left standing at the starting blocks.

Davies they already had in effect, and who would you want from the other four? The general concessus around here seems to be that they're not good enough for us. I don't understand why you're so worried about other teams buying lots of players that we're not interested in?
