Best to not think as signing the best young players out there, think more giving them experience for the bigger clubs :good: :ilt:Quote:

It's on!

Arsenal and Fulham are eyeing American goalkeeper Jeff Caldwell.
The 17-year-old will train with both London clubs in the coming weeks after finishing a trial with Brentford.
Caldwell is currently playing for North Carolina Fusion in the US but is hoping to secure a move to England after a number of clubs expressed an interest in him.
The youngster is highly rated in the States and is first choice for the Under-17s national team.

Bernard's Watch was a good show.
An unknown Brazilian
Yay
A well thought-out, highly original, worthwhile post.
Yay.
He looked decent at the Confed Cup for the 27 seconds he played.
For some reason we were linked to him a few weeks back.
I also liked Bernard's Watch.
I've never heard of Bernard's Watch.
Could be worse. I could post like you.Quote:

Players hold all the power now. Clubs have to sell if their hand is forced. Trouble with us is we are looking for a fair price in the 1990's stupid property market or the 1920's Wall Street set up. We're right, the prices are crazy, it's not sustainable, it will absolutely, definitely, without a shadow of doubt collapse. But try telling that to property buyers in the 90s, try telling it to stock buyers in the 20s. It would be okay (well not really) if we were crusaders based on principle. But we aren't. It's a happy situation for the board. Don't spend and get spanked on the pitch - commercial inertia still keeps the profits rolling in. Do spend, more fans turn up, more shirts are sold, commercial wins out again. The sport doesn't really come into it and that's the problem. Our board doesn't need to buy respectability like a dirty Russian criminal or a dirt Arab thief (I'm calling it like it is so don't even start), our lot are "respectable" so they can get on and make their money by a variety of methods. They are already in the club (in more ways than one).
Football has been invaded and the fans keep looking in the wrong places for the reasons why it has all turned to shit.
Nah, it's gone beyond shear opportunity cost analysis of spending or not spending. We don't even have quantity let alone quality - the shear nakedness of negligence would be enough to frighten anyone into doing something, although a last minute trolley dash for bargain basement crap seems more likely.
It depends how long the player has on his contract, someone like Suarez who i believe is contracted to Anfield until 2016...Liverpool quite correctly say they don't have to sell him. Unless Suarez refuses to play for Liverpool which a) in going over to Australia he doesn't appear to show a willingness to do and b) Would probably make a club less eager to want to sign him and would be a risky gamble that could jeprodise his future.
Higuain I think the club are moving the goalposts because they are hedging their bets, they don't want to sell him unless they are guaranteed they can replace him, and two of their targets Cavani and Jovetic have already gone to other clubs....and it's fair to say they don't have the same valuation of Suarez that even we do.
When are we going to sign someone half decent? Someone like Milner will also do tbf.. :(
Getting Barry tbhQuote:

The chavs and city are the best thing that ever happened for these bastards, it gives them their wafer thin excuse.Quote:

Prepare to be sad. One transfer max. If they were serious about strengthening the squad it would have all been done by the Asian tour.Quote:
