GHarvey 1 Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Keep All Suggestions In Here.First Suggestion:Ricky Van WolfswinkelLiked the look of this boy when I watched the Eredivisie highlights on ESPN before he got injured. Showed what he could do against the beggars aswell.Small and very quick, great finisher ... could be the perfect partner for Jelavic? The lad is only 22 and although we are much more stable cash wise, he could command a decent sell on fee too.However not too sure how much Utrecht would want for him. Anyone any ideas? Wages I doubt would be a problem but he could be out of our reach budget wise.Thoughts? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thommo 708 Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Great player but I think there will be a host of top clubs interested in him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilliamMunny 3,216 Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 He'd cost between 4-6m I reckon. But the likes of Liverpool and Newcastle are meant to be interested.Looks a good talent though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DamienM855 413 Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Van Wolfswinkel and Jelavic We'd be fucking awesome in europe with those two.I saw he was rated 4M a while ago, but then Spurs and Liverpool were interested... so that drove up the asking price...But then he got a shoulder injury.. and they weren't interested any more...So his price could be anything from £3-8M about now unfortunately.If we could get him for £4M though... In a heartbeat!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be dreamingIt is a great option to lure players with but sadly nowadays players would rather pick up a bigger wage with a mediocre English team than play in Europe.

TheBoyDave 123 Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 He is a cracking player would be a brilliant signing who would enhance us and make us good profit not likely signing in my opinion it would capture fans imagination and would be some statement of intent from Craig Whyte.

Players from countries like the Netherlands usually tend to go for Europe in hope that they'll get a transfer to a bigger club. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GHarvey 1 Posted May 18, 2011 Author Share Posted May 18, 2011 It is a great option to lure players with but sadly nowadays players would rather pick up a bigger wage with a mediocre English team than play in Europe.In most cases I think you're right mate but then we know that for European players we are most likely a stepping stone to the EPL. A season or so winning trophies and playing European football like Jelavic for example, then not standing in their way when an offer comes in could be win win for both parties Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jafrfc 614 Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Heard rumours that Ajax fancy taking him on. They'll turn him into a top class player and make a fortune on him if they do.Best we could do with him is tempt him with good wages and a possible premiership transfer. Good sell on value, but can't see it happening. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players from countries like the Netherlands usually tend to go for Europe in hope that they'll get a transfer to a bigger club.I see your points mate but it depends if the player is only after money or playing at the highest level. There are many who will happily pick up £40k+ a week and be fighting relegation in the EPL rather than picking up £20k a week and playing Champions League football and winning trophies. But as you said, it applies mostly with British players. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuck it, I'm milking this while it lasts, pay me in!" Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DamienM855 413 Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Great suggestion.Depending on the level of interest in him, we might even be able to pick him up quite cheaply.Kayal would be an example of taking advantage of Israeli economics Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
