Marquee signings??

Postby ENIAM NAM » Fri Jan 15, 2010 11:40 am

Will we try and get one?

Ever window so far we have had a go.

Summer 08 - Robbie
Jan 09 - Kaka
Summer 09 - Terry, Tevez
Jan 10 - ????

I think we will, someone like Torres with Liverpool's current troubles. Not saying we will get anyone, but I do think we will have a go!

no.
Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad but when we're good, at least we're much better than we used to be and when we are bad we're just as bad as we always used to be, so that's got to be good hasn't it?

I dont think we will get anybody but with Rocky still not fully recovered and Ade's head messed up I would like us to get the real Ronaldo for 6 month trial.
And he would fall into the category of a bit Marquee.

If we had to have one of the party boys until the end of the season I'd rather we got Adriano. Worked with Mancini before.

I doubt we will try to get any marquee player this window, but I agree that if we are going for a six month deal with a Brazilian striker Adriano would be a best bet, but I doubt he'd come.

I'm not at all bothered with the marquee signings now. I'd just love to see Mancini develop what he have and stick to the media that all we do is spend spend spend. Would like to see younger players like Moses etc come in.

Vieira isn't one?? lol.... I think if the scouse red lose a couple more matches in Jan then we should put a cheeky bid in for Torres.

Realistically I don't know and am not fussed either way.

Part of me wants us to go big guns for someone like Torres with a monster bid as I think we'd have a chance for several reasons at the moment.

However, the other part of me is happy if we keep the cheque book tucked away and don't give the fucking media another opportunity to slate us for every crime imaginable.

I'm happy with the squad. Roque/Ade are the only worries but even if we were deprived of both I have a sneaky feeling that Lucky Manciano could work some improbable fix and see us right

Why? Does that affect whether he actually comes or not?

Sorry everyone.
