2013/2014 Midfielders Rumours Thread

[pencilpal]

Just wanted to point out that I was talking about Roberto Firmino last year, and he currently has 18 goals and 13 assists in Germany.

:work:

Call me superstitious, but Stop talking about him, then our chance of signing him might actually increase.

Let's face it and pull out he facts here, who was the last guy we signed also happened to be the one you strongly advocated?

Just wanted to point out that you talk about 3234234 different players per year, and just because on turned out to be good doesn't make you the scout whisperer.

Who have I actually brought up (rather than described)?

Berardi, Jorginho, Firmino, Obiang/Allan last season… not many tbh

Want a cookie?

Jesus fucking Christ

I'm not trying to patronize myself

All I wanted was to simply point out how well he's been doing at the moment.

 

[ScottishInterista]

Jesus christ, stop with all the pencipal bashing already.

 

[nurko]

Liked it or not, having pencilpal to provide information about players [in whichever manner he sees fit] is more valuable than bashing-trashing and trolling entire time.
He made a nice point there and that's it.

Yes, he sometimes "overstylizes" his reports but that's up to him. Some of us can't even write proper English so it's a matter of perspective.

 

[thatdude]

Unnecessary boasting is equally as annoying as unnecessary bashing, IMO.

And just for the record I've never been one to call Pencipal out on this ability to scout 10,000 talents.

 

[nurko]

No worries, I was not pointing fingers, it was more of a "post for broader audience"

Well yeah, pencipal is writing perfect english I can say...
But hey am not even know how to write proper english... How could I know pencipal is actually writing a perfect english?
But yeah, we have to respect him, is not easy to be him, scouting every unknown player from many leagues...
So stop bashing him...

When was I boasting?

I simply wanted to point out how well Firmino has been doing atm (considering I mentioned him a lot last year).

 

[Doffy]

lol once he even claimed he was already watching kova regulary, back before we signed him when he still played in the croatian league.
he is probably suffering from the 'to much football manager syndrome', like many others among these parts. just add in a pinch of salt before taking him seriously, thats what i do.

Well I watched a number of Dinamo Zagreb's UCL matches, not to mention some of the bigger games in the Croatian league (Hajduk vs Zagreb).

Anyways, less off topic on this thread.

Hoffenheim scored a lot of goals for mid table club. after all, they also have kevin volland running in the wings. Firmino is of interest from english based club thus i don't think he will be cheap.

btw, he still need a lot of development especially in term of tactics (he likes to roam freely) and he play similar role to hernanes. interesting talent but not what inter need.

 

[A.l.i]

I liked Fernando more than Behrami in their match. I know we'll end up with Obi Mikel next season though. :wallbang2:

 

[Wallace]

What's wrong with Obi Mikel?

 

[Bluenine]

What's wrong with Obi Mikel?

He is shite. Like a subdued Muntari.

 

[pencilpal]

Iirc Alexandru Maxim has the most assists in the Bundesliga, but Stuttgart are destined for relegation this season

He'll probably be available for a fee in the region of 5-7 million.

 

[Ronaldo]

Maybe Chivu could put a good word for us.

But honestly I don't see the point of discussing midfielders except maybe for a DM to replace Cambiasso. Although I hope Taider could step up and fill that role.
