[Archived] Transfer Window Thread

Stop messing about Venkys - get Beckham, Ronnie & Honda signed up asap!

[Commondore]

One thing I don't understand: Didn't Milan shove Ronaldinho out the door with a severance package just a few days ago? How come we are dealing with them, isn't he able to go wherever he wants without a contract?

[hawkiiz]

Something which crossed my mind earlier was that people had been saying that Ronaldinho would not want to play under Kean, but doesn't Kean speak Portuguese(the language of Brazil) therefore Ronaldinho may be able to communicate with Kean better than most mangers in this division and vice versa which might help.

Was thinking the same.

Ronnie speaks portugese, not English

Venkys have been working with this for weeks

Kean got the job, he speaks spanish/portugese (got head-huntet by Chelsea for that feature)

I must admit it does make sense.

I'll run to the store and make some humble pie.

[True Blue & White]

These things are never quite what they seem.

It is possible - stress this is a theory - that AC Milan have to be paid and then settle up Ronaldinho out of the fee to 'sweeten' his departure.

Could be tax reasons, image right issues.

Who knows?

Or it could be that they bought Cassano

[Bobby G]

Now Honda, he would be a great signing and he would sell enough shirts in Japan to possibly cover his fee. If we work it right, the Japanese market could be penetrated. Not a bad player too either!

[Roberto Policano]

Most of the denial stuff os in the local paper who, shall we say, misread the situation.

They seem to misread most situations.Their naivety beggars belief.

[Valois]

SSN just said Blackburn are willing to increase their offer in neccessary?? Surely that leaves the door open for Milan to reject the bid and ask for more straight away. So long as its Venkys cash, and there is still cash for other players, frankly my dear, i couldnt give a dam.

[Bobby G]

They are not used to being LIED to. You wouldnt expect the club owners to straight up play you when you are the local paper do you?

[Majiball]

Further confirmation that Mrs D reads this board and gets her inspiration from the guru.

Perhaps.

Oh great not another one, we've got enough 'nose sniffers' already giving Mrs D bum advice without you getting involved as well!

Couldn't resist.

My mate says he was spotted at Nortcote Manor today... Nicko??????

He is in Brazil. FACT.

[Mattyblue]

That's what I replied, he will be buying a house up Wilpshire, Ray Wilkins style.

[Stylish kid in the Riot]

I personally think this is a great move by the club. Yes he isnt the player he was about 3 years ago but he's still a class act. The simple fact remains that he will encourage other players to come to the club who just wouldnt be interested before. Plus, it sounds like this is personal money that Venky's are willing to put forward in an attempt to strengthen the brand in India thus meaning it wont impact on other signings.

I cant see him coming here but I dont think this kind of attempt will do our chances of getting better players in during January any harm at all. I just wish Venky's would have the one voice and leave all the talk to good old Mrs D!!!

If you have the lastest 4-4-2 magazine, take a look at his interview in the 'Top 100 Players' feature. Hardly reads well.

Could not believe my eyes when I saw it on SSN, brilliant!!!!

The club probably knew nothing of this - it is our owners buying the players. Hope they don't play FM.

[roverwhelmed]

I wish Twitter wasn't part of the equation...ridiculous to put it out on there.

[Hughesy]

Adam next on twitter....

I know for a fact she is a nickoteen.

Certainly not a philipino.

[Bobby G]

I think that the twitter account is fake. Their real one is Venkys India.

[Majiball]

Adam next on twitter....

Why would we want Adam if we're getting Ronaldinho?

[G Somerset Rover]

Adams and Mr.Ronaldinho would certainly add the creativity required!

God please make the latter happen.
