talk up your club's signings topic

ok, i want to start this up for you people to voice your opinion as to who is the best signing of this summers transfer period.  im also thinking best value for money as well, try to justify your choice as best as you can. Chelsea-Kiwi2008-08-19 19:56:38

Geovanni, will do for me,

Samir Nasri for 12m or so.

Deco not a bad buy either.

And I think Keane will prove to be one of the more average purchases in terms of return on investment.

Well as a United fan I can hardly be biased as we havn't made any signings. But Robbie Keane is certainly not up there, I just can't pick him leading Liverpool to glory. Deco... Maybe. I think Bosingwa is a really good player, though he is very ugly and has the mother of all monobrows. After careful consideration I'm going to plump for Coloccini-I think he will definitely solidify Newcastle's always useless defence and after watching Monday mornings game, he can handle half decent players.

i do agree that his price was a bit much, i still think he will get results later in the season however. but with liverpools budget maybe another player would be more suitable.

giovanni was a good buy, cant beat the value for money

Gutirrez 

Nasri.

after 1 game? no-one!

Daniel Parejo, got him on loan from Real Madrid and he chose us instead of Arsenal! Sorry uber, even Wenger rates him highly!

Deco for 8 mill looks like good business to me, as does Amr Zaki (on loan at Wigan) looks like he has all the components to be a successful prem striker. Guitterez looks good, and Coloccini is a fantastic defender, just the man Newcastle have needed for ages. Southgate has also done well, bringing in Digard and Emnes, both quality youngsters. Nasri and Modric are also exciting arrivals at Arsenal and Spurs respectively.

Spurs getting Dos Santos for such a cheap amount could also be a fantastic deal (in the long run anyway, might be a season or two before we see the best from him).

Worst bit of business in my mind is Keane to Liverpool for 20 million quid (especially if they end up playing him on the wing... Why they didn't go looking for somebody like Guitterez is beyond me).

Nasri by a long shot!

Hang on a minute. So a Chelski fan picks Deco, a Hull fan picks Geovanni, yet Arsenal fans can't pick Nasri, why?

Deco.

Did Jam scare you into picking Deco Surge?

All of the players that Everton signed.

Pmsl... not quite Buffy, only just saw what he said... I just know I was pissed off when I saw that they'd signed him, and more so when I saw what he cost! He could be lethal for them... that first goal he got wasn't too shabby either

Tho looks like we may now have the bargain of the season at least lol

His first goal should of been saved by a Premiership quality keeper. You watch though, if he goes off the boil for a couple games he'll be dropped from the starting 11 and probably find it hard to get back in.

Nasri on the other hand....

Calm down turbo!!!

This thread is descriminatory against Everton.

We're basing our decision for best signing of the season on one game, a game in which Nasri played brilliantly and scored on debut in the 4th minute. He didn't cost a great deal (compared with recent attacking midfield purchases of other clubs). Not to mention the fact that a fan of a club is more likely to place emphasis on their own club's signings as it's more likely they've seen the games of their own club versus other games (recalling that ONE league game has been played so far). On top of that, I gave credit to Deco, who I think was a good buy at that rate - even though he's old, he's clearly still got form, as his recent goal demonstrated. And I've been a fan of his for some time.

So settle down.

And as Uber said - if I thought there was a better signing out there, I'd gladly say so.

OK, fair enough. The title of the thread's been changed anyway and now I look like a twat. Which I am.

Can you imagine the damage when the fighting starts

Unfortunately I didn't get to see the Tottenham game as I would have liked to have seen Modric and Geovanni, both of whom look like excellent players, I will look forward to see how they deal with the rough and tumble of the premiership.
I'll disagree with the lad who said Boswinga, I've seen him play for a few times now and although he poses a real threat going forward, I reckon he's a dodgy defender. When Chelsea plays the big boys in the Champions League I'll either be proven right or shown that i don't know my ass from my elbow.

For me Nasri had an excellent game for Arsenal and he looks a typical Wenger buy, fast with great vision and passing. It will be interesting to see how he manages the english winter....

I'm a Liverpool fan so I have to mention Robbie Keane, its early days and our first league game was awful really, but I'm hoping he gels with Torres and Gerard, only time will tell.

As for the Newcastle defender Coloccini, yep he looked good but to be honest Man Utd looked completely toothless without Ronaldo, let see how he goes against some good strikers.

For me though Jonas Guiterrez was superb for Newcastle, not sure what they paid but on that game I reckon he's worth it, calm under pressure, not afraid to have a run and he completely embarrassed several of Man Utd's midfielders.
I'm know he's a roughie, but he's my pick after one round.

Sorry that was a typo, not Geovanni, Giovanni as in Dos Santos Giovanni (Ex barca I think), he scored a few goals for spurs pre-season and a few mates on mine in the UK reckon he's the business.

Speaking of picking your own players.... Silvestre could well be the bargain of the season...

dos santos will rip the prem i reckon, loves running at players and taking them on. saw him play for barca a few times on espn and he looked good.

Check out the bottom of the first page Paul lol

My God Cisse was frustrating when he was at Liverpool. Yep he's fast, its just every other aspect of his game he needs to work on. I reckon he might fit in better at a lower half team (no offence sunderland but you are), teams will push there back four up and it'll give him more space to run in to.

to be fair he was played out of position a bit, pushed onto the wing where he would blaze up the sideline only to cut in and shoot rather than ever passing or crossing ha. was a starting french striker before he broke his leg (twice) so a really top class player.

well given how pissed off I am that Barca let chel$ki take Deco that move is the one that catches my eye the most. Nasri will get much more game time then Deco and will probably show his worth a bit more.

villanueva will be big
