Rubber bullets 1,183 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 I'm surprised about the number of people who have become doom merchants from this transfer. Its the Winter sales, we were not exactly going to spend £200 million on players that are over valued and would see their asking prices and wages drive up dramaticly.

ZanSnake 1,211 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 If we did get him, at least the chances of Tommy's report more accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted January 17, 2011 Author Share Posted January 17, 2011 I can quite safely say Pienaar is going to Spurs. Sky Sports are reporting Spurs have had their bid for the player accepted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laylabelle 9,536 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Yeh thats what I heard and he hasnt agreed personal terms with us and he doesnt see that he can develop with us and Spurs his prefered choice so wouldnt be surprised at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spuz 143 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 I can quite safely say Pienaar is going to Spurs. Sky Sports are reporting Spurs have had their bid for the player accepted.As soon as Harry opened his gob saying "I fink he's a triffick little player but i fink he's off to Chelsea" then it was almost nailed on he was off to spurs.You can read Redknapp like a book.Thank god anyway. Have we honestly been that short of midfielders this season that we've had to field non midfielders there? No. We have sufficient cover,especially if Carlo starts to play Josh a bit more. Not to mention we've now got Lamps back.Save that £3m for the summer and put it towards a player we need and rate. For now get Ivanovic's contract sorted.

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted January 17, 2011 Author Share Posted January 17, 2011 I see your point, but seeing Essien, Mikel and Ramires ALL in the same midfield makes me feel physically sick. So whilst we don't have a shortage of midfielders per se, we have a shortage of specialist midfielders, since we sold two attacking midfielders in Deco and Joe Cole, a holding player in Belletti, and a box-to-box player in Ballack and only replaced two of them.

Essien,Mikel and Ramires are all class.(most of the time).I remember when we got Ballack and Jose started to use a horrible, narrow, tight midfield of Ballack,Cole,Lamps and Makelele. I think this is sort of how we're playing at the moment. Not good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 4,400 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Yeh thats what I heard and he hasnt agreed personal terms with us and he doesnt see that he can develop with us and Spurs his prefered choice so wouldnt be surprised at allHe has more chance playing for us lol what a tard. He wont develop there, no way. So even Tottenham now are prefered more than us to go to. Times are bad lol. Another one gets away. Hope we do yids 5-0 n Pienaar plays, piece of shit.

spuz 143 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 If it's over wages - Good on Chelsea for staying strong.Agreed. If it was a decent player and we got gazumped on wages by Spurs or any team for that matter,i'd be seriously pissed off. But seeing as it's only Pienaar,then Harry you're more than welcome to him. Especially seeing as they won't have CL football next year. Good luck paying all those wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDN Blue 7,903 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 I'd urge Chelsea to ask Tottenham about a loan deal for him, till the end of the season. Would be perfect for us really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
