"great player, but could we keep him fit? And for 20 million!?! That money could be invested in a number of talents. There are better alternatives. Mertens for example. Surely 20 million would get us Muller if he wanted to join..."
"Don't think Ben Arfa is worth £20 million of anyone's money least of all ours. It would be better spent on someone like Arda Turan or Thomas Ince, We'll have to wait and see who BR Brings in won't we? YNWA REDS."
"Scott Sinclair is a hell of a lot more consistent and has more goals in him I think.BR has an obvious track record of buying players he's previously coached.How hungry is Sinclair for game-time compared to numbing his arse on the Manc City bench? "
"Ben Arfa is world class when fit thats a big when???? 20mill a big investment for an injury prone player.We should have signed Arda Turan a couple of years back for a small fee when he wanted to join us...Still think a fast big DM and CB are most important YNWA"
"yesssssss Ben Arfa and Affaly on right n left wings both ill cost 25m max and will be stars for us they fast skillful can pass score b beat players.. Turan is good for left wing
"
"If we spend 6 or 7 mill on players we will get 12th place year in year out is that what you want??? No if we want to do well we need to spend a bit more and get VFM as well....."
"Here are players we were "priced out" on buying:
Jackson Martinez (currently in Porto)- £6m
Arda Turan- was available for £7m before moving to Atl. Mad
Tom Ince- don't recall the exact figure, but it was less than £6m
...."
"Ipd spot on 20mill well to much injury prone but if be wants him ' I'd like to think if he can squeeze 20mill out of fsg better players would be avalable"
"Only player i want for definite next window is dries mertens its a no brainer to me him and suarez on either side of sturridge in the middle and coutinho through the middle behind sturridge that would be something else gerrard and lucas in midfield. One can dream i suppose lol "
"dhjames - Couldn't agree more mate. Ince, Vorsah and Sinclair are the 3 players that are on my wishlist for the summer. I will be over the moon if we can get atleast 2 even. "
"its nice to see pacey, skillful dribblers and passers being targeted. All the best teams have plenty of attackers of this kind and we should be no different. YNWA."
"20 mil for a player that cost 7 mil less than 2 years ago and has not enhanced his reputation due to injury concerns? Seems like another pile of cash for potential trash to me."
"good player but not one we should be payin 20mil for. 7thheaven, agree a strong pacey DM and a top class CB would really improve the team. LB cover and maybe another quality attack minded player (prob right sided) and our squad really will start to look strong! "
"The risk is of course based on his injury record. He might just have been unlucky; he may be injury prone. Either way, when fit, he can play... I'd rather have a game changing winger for 20 games a season than a plodder who's available for 38 games. We've got room for him if it's true. "
"MikeyPool I had to laugh when you put 'world class CB' & 'Micah Richards' in the same sentence. I like Micah: northern lad, serious unit & decent defender, but he ain't a world class CB. Baresi, Beckenbauer, Moore, McGrath, Hansen, Adams, Stam, Lawrenson, Desailly, Lucio, Samuel, Costacurta. They're world class, it's not a throw-away phrase mate.."
"Hatem cost 20m are you kidding me plus andy....that has to be joke not serious situation...why don't you go and get leandro damiao....he'd love to come LFC or James Rodriguez...that's too expensive.... in fact, LFC Scouts really sucks...they don't know how to bargain the player and the which can succeed in LFC.."
