You wouldnt want them if Carroll stays? Implying Carroll can do as good as them?
Also, are you implying Carroll is in the same category as the strikers you mentioned?

I'm quite surprised he's moving upwards this fast. I never expected him to leave, even though he had like 25 goals last season.

Some Arsenal news before the press..
Arsenal became the 1st team to put in an offical bid for Clint Dempsey and they put in a bid of £7m yesterday. Liverpool yet to put an official bid yet but it is understood they have a deal agreed in principle with Fulham for a few weeks. Liverpool are currently in talks with Fulham. Could go either way this one..
Juventus have put in a bid of £20m for Robin Van Persie.
And the club does not want to sell Theo Walcott (boo) - they will offer him a a new contract with improved wages and yearly % increases based on performances.

They are all better than Carroll. That's why if we sell him, I only want to see an upgrade. And I'd take any of them even if we keep Carroll.
But it doesn't really matter because we can't get those players this season. And I think Carroll will leave.
Not liking what I read about Barca being interested in Agger. Please God, don't let him go.
Interesting way to throw that in to the mix. Is the NESN owned by the group then or something? Cos that's the 'source'.
"The football club will be partaking in a three game North American tour, which includes a stop in Boston for a game at Fenway Park. The team has added Fabio Borini and Clint Dempsey to a team that game within a game of winning the FA Cup."
What an odd way to announce a signing.
I'll let the boffins at RAWK figure it all out.
It's not announcing the signing, I don't believe. If you watch the video, at the very end the announcer says "published reports say Liverpool are on the verge of signing American forward Clint Dempsey. The deal could be completed by the end of the week."
But it being on Fenway Sports Groups' main page is certainly interesting, isnt it? I think it's just poor wording in the article.

Marotta (2012) “Jovetic? He’s a player at Fiorentina that we like, whose profile responds to what we are looking out for"
Marotta (2011) "Aguero, Tevez or Benzema? The profile of the player we are looking for is similar to these players."
Just shut the fuck up Marotta.
I want Frodo.
While a poacher might be preferable in theory, not all our scoring problems were related to shooting inaccuracy / bad finishing last year. In certain matches, which inevitably ended in a draw, we had huge problems moving our forwards into the penalty box. With someone like Jovetic you're all but guaranteed to breach. He can be pretty unstopabble with the ball at his feet. And he's actually a pretty great finisher too. He netted it 14 times in 27 matches last year, which was one of the worst seasons in Fiorentina's history. Imagine what he could do in a decent club ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mGtrhW2yfY
UN SOLO GRIDO PARTE A RAZZO, VOGLIAMO JOVETIC DAI CAZZOOOOO!!!

I think I saw on RAWK that the video that accompanies it says "reports say Liverpool are close to a deal" or something like that.

Am I crazy to think Ronaldinho at his best was better than Messi? He really squandered his career. What happened? And what happened to Riquelme?!!
Didn't Ronaldinho get fat and lazy? Standard fare for Brazilians in their twilight years it seems. Ronaldo, Adriano, etc.
20m for RVP? With the salary he's demanding, that's a huge financial risk.
Jovetic pls
I want Frodo.

Pecho frío.
For a little while I thought we were going to grab Riquelme, and I was delighted by the idea.

Can you at least quote the meltdown reactions by people there?
Yeah, saw two of them, could've guessed one anyway. From the trailers even.

Please please please update us with a stream of reaction quotes from members in that thread.
That's not Dave, Bla.
You think that's funny? I was spoiled and I'm not fucking laughing like you intent to be.
20m for RVP is not exactly a HUGE but yes the salary he would ask would be huge but I believe RVP might, might, accept a slightly less salary if Conte/Marotta really does manage to convince him of the new Juve project (Given he is leaving Arsenal because he doesnt believe in them and not just for money)

Hahaha haven't you noticed that there a lot more SmokeyDaves around?just opened a new tab for the batman thread. thank god i went here first
btw, am i the only one who thinks that smokey dave looks like a grown up messi?
I was thinking about this and I just realized that I don't really give a shit how much we pay for RVP or how huge his salary is going to be. Why should I care? It's not my money (I'll be giving Juve my moneyz regardless, so ...) and we already signed some pretty great players, so it's not like overpaying for someone like RVP is gonna cripple our summer mercato.
Marotta, brah - RVP, Jovetic, Dzeko, Tevez, Destro, Jesus Christ ... whatever. Just buy one, anyone. You have my sword and my axe.
