Summer Transfers 2011
- Thread starter Bobby Sands
- Start date
Liverpool probably didn't want to pay £13m for an unproven teenager, I don't blame them either. Though Pittsey probably has seen more of him, how good is he?
Also i thought Sunderland had financial difficulties? but they're spending money quite freely, £8m for Gardener also. Plus the £12m in total for Gibson, O'Shea, Brown - if they're still interested that is?

I haven't seen too much of him to be honest. But I am sure we've all seen his wonder goal for Ipswich. I have seen him a few times since his debut though, and I know his goal record was poor last year, but he was playing wider than he would have liked.
Millwall had some fantastic teenagers a few years back. Cherno Samba and Moses Ashikodi. Both made debuts at 15 or 16, and played pretty regular at 17.... Liverpool and Man Utd were monitoring Samba. Askikodi got sacked for threatening to stab another player in the canteen.... All downhill from there.

They should have excelled but didn't due to attitude. Not saying that I think Connor Wickham will, because he may become the next Alan Shearer.... But... It's a big risk for Sunderland...!

i remember Samba from football manager lol
not sure about Wickham though, i havent seen him play at all but Dalglish has more often than not been a good judge of a player. You mentioned Shearer. It was Dalglish that brought a young Alan Shearer from Southampton to Blackburn so i feel that if Wickham was that good, we would have got him. If we genuinely lost out to Sunderland to get his signature, then its not good.
I think that Juventus have offered Felipe Melo and some cash for Guiseppe Rossi.
Shay Given looks likely to join Aston Villa according to today's irish independent.
i keep reading in that newspaper that Arsenal will bid for Kevin Doyle. the guy who says that also said that liverpool will move for John O Shea and Bayern Munich are after Shane Long. The article about Given joining Aston Villa is a good source though.
Man City withdraw from race to sign Alexis Sanchez saying that he was open to a move to them. so if he was open to a move, why did they withdraw? more like he wasnt interested i reckon.

most people recognise that he is a good playerthough. which he is. for example, i know alot of people on the liverpool forums rate him. he has a lot of good qualities. ofc im not saying he is up there with those players you mentioned and i dont believe that Arsenal will want to buy him.
and ofc im not saying this because he is irish. there are plenty of shit irish players there. like our midfield for example. However, Doyle is one of one of the better irish players around.
