Locked: Summer 2007 ins and outs

Is Sanchez going to sell Liam Rosenior?

 

Is Liam Rosenior being sold?

 

2 more on the way?

Just saw Sanchez on Sky stating that he'd like to bring in two more players.

 

Re: 2 more on the way?

Two more would definitely be nice. As good as Zat and Boca have been, I still think we need a solid center back.

As for goings, I would not be shocked to see someone like Papa or Liam go. Quite frankly I have had it with Papa. He was good in his first season with us, but since then he has been bad. He does not pass well. He has not scored a goal in forever. He lacks discipline and puts in ridiculous tackles and in turn gets too many cards. Additionally, he is 29. If we can get a few million pounds for him, let's offload him.

Also, remember this, when Bullard comes back healthy in October or November he will be just as good, if not better, than a new signing. Let's just hope he can come back and play as he did before he was hurt.

He is for sale. Just a question of buyers now I guess.

 

RE: 2 more on the way?

After today's match, I think we might need another keeper, another striker and despite playing okay defensively, we need another central defender.

Getting all three is highly unlikely, but with McBride and Bouazza out with long term injuries and Warner costing us points with howlers like today's and Wednesday's, we need some more players to soldify the squad.

Lawrie has 13 days to convince Al Fayed to give him more money and find more players. Time is ticking. Sanchez has done a nice job finding players already and I hope he can do the same thing now in late August.

 

Re: RE: 2 more on the way?

I agree that we probably need another goalie but it is sort of funny in today's society how a player (Warner) can go from hero (vs. Arsenal) to a goat (today) in a matter of a week.

 

RE: Re: RE: 2 more on the way?

To be honest, I thought some of Warner's saves vs Arsenal were a bit lucky, one in particular in the first half where he dove the wrong way but still managed to clear with his foot. Still had a great game though.

Kasey Keller and Fabien Barthez are still without a club. They're older, but I think they have enough left for one more season, especially if they share time with Niemi.

 

Aston Villa is looking at Liam Rosenior.

Diop on his way out?

it will be sad to see the wardrobe close his career at Fulham, how much do you think we will get for him?

here's sky's report.

 

Good one, Lyle!

 

As I have said, I have no problem seeing Diop leave. I hope we are able to get some good money and/or a good player in return.

 

Keller may be American, but you don't get 100 caps by being a bad soccer player. I continue to believe he'd be a great pickup if he's willing to be a backup.

I'm not a huge fan of letting Diop go, but as has been said already with regard to other players, if he doesn't want to be here then we don't want him here either. Perhaps this will open up space for Deuce to get some playing time in the middle, as well.

I think selling Liam would be a mistake.

 

Lawrie has said on numerous occasions that he is not done bringing players in this transfer players. He has mentioned that there are one or two more players coming in. Any clue on who they may be?

Not to worried about selling Diop as long as the price is right, but am a bit worried about losing Liam.

 

i have an idea....a CB!!!!! make that two CB's!!!!! a goalkeeper that doesn't "flip the ball into the net" when it comes right to him!!!...and someone that can finish point blank unmarked chances!!!!
