Dan_Boro_Till_I_Die 1,181 Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 I think if the club feel the move is right they will sanction it just like stewey as you say km Link to post Share on other sites
Will 2,958 Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 I've watched that clip on the Gazette and you're right Dan, they don't deny our interest in Falcao. They just mention his wages, they did the same prior to Downing's homecoming. But they do deny any interest in Ziyech. I was going to post exactly this earlier, it is exactly what Vickers said about Downing last summer. All he ever mentioned was that if it was going to happen Gibbo would have to do some magic.

His only choices were us & Gijon I believe. Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,283 Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Away from the Boro, hearing that Neymar could agree a move to PSG for next summer by them paying his £153m release clause. Incredible if true. Absolutely smashing the transfer record and the reports seem to say he would agree to it so he could be the main man and help him win the Ballon D'or.

I think he'd struggle to win it playing in France unless PSG became the best team in Europe of course. Perhaps but I think he's got to move from Barca to do it as well. He's in Messi's shadow at the moment. He's got a lot of belief in his own ability but he probably sees himself as being as good if not better than the players around him but nobody looks beyond Messi and Ronaldo right now. If a club from the Premier League came in for him and also coughed up the money, I think he'd take that as it'd be better exposure. But if he was the one to make PSG a dominant European side by himself, it could do him just as good. Link to post Share on other sites

CFPri25 12 Posted June 11, 2016 Author Share Posted June 11, 2016 For anyone watching the Wales v Slovakia game, everything's Squirtle has done so far sums up why I am so happy we [apparently] passed on him. Just a brute, nothing technical to his game at all. Link to post Share on other sites

Just a brute, nothing technical to his game at all. I don't think it's fair to say there is nothing technical - anyone could play like a brute. Plus, that bullish attitude can be invaluable in a relegation scrap IMO. That penalty shout for Wales was disgraceful though... Link to post Share on other sites

Just a brute, nothing technical to his game at all. I don't think it's fair to say there is nothing technical - anyone could play like a brute. Plus, that bullish attitude can be invaluable in a relegation scrap IMO. That penalty shout for Wales was disgraceful though... Ok, obviously nothing technical at all was an exaggeration and he can actually kick a football. I'm referring more to his lack of reading of the game and positioning, instead using strength and aggression to partly make up for his mental shortcomings. Against better opposition, he gets found out. Why is this brutish attitude a good thing? There is a big difference between confidently competitive and what Squirtle portrays. We play, under AK, a very technical style of defence. Every player has a distinct role and position to play. Squirtle charging into a player 'because that's a great thing and shows he cares' is just detrimental and opens up space elsewhere as everyone else has to cover. It's why Lovren couldn't play with him at Liverpool and it wouldn't have worked for us. In a relegation battle, I'd much prefer everyone to be organised and technically gifted. It goes without saying that they should put the effort in, that should not and is not the be all and end all of winning games. One of the first things Klopp did at Liverpool was to replace Squirtle with a 35 ish year old Toure who actually could position himself. Link to post Share on other sites
