Boab 73 Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 At least we're looking at good players, arguably how good but at least good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamdaman 0 Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Klasnic - Yes, Skillful and has a bit of speed Nugent - No, Basically for his price Piquionne - Yes, same as Klasnic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cloudstrife3139 0 Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Folk stealing ma threads eh? heheh Anyways, i'm not sure about Klasnic sounds a risk, and i'm undecided on Nugent, and i know very little about piquonne(sp). Hopefully we'll sign someone of quality, whether its these guys or not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trueblue1872 2 Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Klasnic would be ace. Nugent was ace for preston. Dont have a clue why he didnt do well at pompy? Piquionne i'm not to sure on tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
garytaylor 4 Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Nugent, in my opinion, is a mouth-watering prospect. So much potential with Preston but unfortunately he did not settle well at Pompey. Stories like these give me a lovely feeling inside that the club is actualy trying to sign big players - for big money! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schotte 0 Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 I watch the bundesliga weekin weekout.Klasnic ist since he has came back a better player.Yes the kindey op's where a set back for him, but i think if we get him he would be an asset for us.Hear in Germany he has had tests after tests to prove that there is no problem with his health, as you can think the DFB would have problems if anything would happen to him.PLUS i think Big Dado has his hands in this one IF we would get him.NOT a bad BOSMAN if we were to get him tho.

Danny 9 Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Klasnic would be ace. Nugent was ace for preston. Dont have a clue why he didnt do well at pompy? Because he wasn't that good at PNE? Scored 33 in about 95 appearances which is good for the EPL, but not for the Championship. That's 1 in 3 for a striker. Which isn't exactly setting my heather on fire. He came to people's attention after 'that' goal in the cup. When he went to Pompy he was out of his depth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rfc72 0 Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 I'm not too sure on Nugent especially at that price. I wouldnt take Nugent hes just another overhyped English footballer hes a Championship striker and has been found out at Portsmouth and at £4m we should stay clear Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueben_d 40 Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 even the preston fans couldn't understand the praise nugent was getting, they took the money and ran. He did score some crackers but was inconsistant to say the least Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamdaman 0 Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 So whats the general thoughts on klasnic then? Yes/No I would take him and Piquionne as they are both better thn our current strikers(All Round) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueben_d 40 Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 klasnic seems like a quality player, his injury situation is a big worry though - but then we didn't take hartson for that reason and he turned out ok. It's a risk - but for a freebie then why not Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoltonLoyal 2 Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 I'd have Nugent tomorrow, he's another one who's fell out of favour with 'Arry and it doesn't matter what he does, Redknapp won't play him. Once he makes his mind up you're finished with him, Matt Taylor leaving proved that. He was outstanding for pompey the season before and this season was left out in the cold. Dunno anything about the Frenchie, so can't comment. Klasnic would be a risk imo, i think the guys who mentioned Jonah Lomu have got it right, he was never the same. I think they have to take steroids and immuno-suppressant drugs which cause weight gain. I think Charlie Adam has been on them tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rohan 23 Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Nugent, wouldn't pay anything unless he could play on loan first, because I don't think he's up to much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del 667 Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 What Piquionne is it we are looking at? The one that used to play at St Ettiene(sp), and now Monaco? If it is then he is a great player and his agent is old maklies! Klasnic is a fantastic player and on a bosman would be a great signing! Dont want nugent, good championship player and i think we can get better for the 4-5m asking price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del 667 Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Jonah Lomu returned to rugby after having a kidney transplant and theres a lot more chance of damage in rugby than football. However whether its a risk worth taking is another matter, given our past history with injuries I would be loathe to take a risk on any player with even the most slightly dubious injury record. Jonah Lomu was an idiot. He damaged HIS kidneys after playing contact sport for a sustained period of time. His body accepted the donor kidney, but he COULDNT continue to play rugby. His new kidney is situated up in his rib cage for extra protection. Exaclty mate, Theres a big difference between football and Rugby, and if the doctors allowed him to play Rugby again then Klasnic will be fine to play football!! If Klasnic wasnt OOC you would have to pay 4-7m for him and i think if we get him on a 1-2 year deal then see what happens we could probably make a nice profit as well. We can all read and post things from google but no-one on here really knows then ins and outs of Klasnics situation. If the doctors and Werder Bremen are allowing him to play then thats good enough for me! He might have to take tablets/get check ups/dialysis but there are lots of other conditions that require the same attention as this. Ian Murray has to take over 20 tablets a day and go to the hospitial every couple of months to check up on his bones and he still plays. The big thing to realise is, doctors allowed a professional rugby player to play a rough contact sport where he is going to get some big hits. The way football is these days its not far from a non contact sport and if the doctors allow him to play then that should be good enough for us! Hes a great player who we can get on a bosman! THe positives outweigh the negatives IMO! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muff 245 Posted March 21, 2008 Author Share Posted March 21, 2008 What Piquionne is it we are looking at? The one that used to play at St Ettiene(sp), and now Monaco? If it is then he is a great player and his agent is old maklies! That's the one, unfortunatley his game is not suited to the SPL. He's terrible in the air and his positioning is like Sebo's. And yet again, another Willie McLies player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is actually quite good in the air man and is very quick! Is he a bosman? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muff 245 Posted March 21, 2008 Author Share Posted March 21, 2008 Don't know but he's flopped at Monaco and he kicked up a fuss to get his move from St. Etienne. Piquionne doesnt score goals and I don't think he'd fit in, in Scottish football. He's terrible in the air and at almost 30 isn't going to improve. Don't think he's on a bosman either? He's like a Daniel Cousin or Jean Claude Darcheville in terms of scoring record, only thing is he's worse than both of them! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amac9 2,060 Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 IMO good, quality strikers do not become bosman signings or free agents. If they are so good then why has their club not pulled out all the stops to keep them at the club. Nugent IMO should not come near Ibrox as I don't rate him at all. Don't know too much about the other dude but then again we didn't know much about Daniel Cousin or JCD and they have turned out to be shrewd signings.

Cloudstrife3139 0 Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Piquionne seems to take his goals well, anyone seen some of them on youtube? There is this quality one where he rounds the keeper in one dip of the shoulder. He seems pretty quick as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
