I say we offer £2 million and a pound

Apparently Stellios has a clause in his contract that allows him to leave if anyone offers above £1m.

That's reported in the Bolton Evening News tonight.

No need to offer £2m

For £1m I'd sign him. We have no cover at all on the right side. He proved last year he can score goals at this level, and £1m is peanuts in the scheme of things.

Everyone seems to be waiting for us to sign some wonderboy striker without looking at the direction that the team is being steered.
Raffa is obviously happy with the style he used at Valencia only now he's got a better budget and a board he can control, to an extent.
He is picking up players to fit into the final plan and midfielders/wingers whop can run the line are perefect, Zorba will fit in perfectly.
TRUST IN RAFFA

Stelios scored for Bolton today and he played well.

Take a leaf out of the Gerrard Houllier school of transfer dealings...if the selling club is holding out for £2 million and his contract allows for him to take-up any offers above £1 million, we should bid someting in excess of £2 million.

Take Baros' case. Liverpool wants £7 million, Villa have made a firm offer of £6.5 million. What does the head coach og Lyon, a certain Gerard Houllier do? Offer £8.5 million!

You're allowed to slag houllier. He had a heart problem. Rule 6 I think?

if baros isn't good enuff for us.........then surely stelios isn't :angry:

by **A.B.** » Thu Aug 25, 2005 2:17 am

Stupid comparison imo. Baros isn't good enough because despite playing more games than any other stiker he only managed to score 13 goals. Stelios is a winger and he's job is different than that from a striker.

If Baros could had produced what he does for the Czech Republic for this club then he wouldn't had been sold. I've seen Stelios play and he can play on either wing. Can cross the ball with either foot, he's disciplined and does not cut in a lot like Garcia does. Fights for the ball, can link up well with team-mates, can score goals whether they be crackers,headers or scrap goals. For 2 million pounds he provides a lot. I'd like to see Joaquin like anyone else would but he'd cost 10 times more, never has played in the Premiership and more likely could turn out to be a faillure.

Thats 20 million down the drain. Stelios would be a temporary solution until we find a permanet solution whether it be in January or next summer. I rather we have some sort of solution on the right then Garcia,Potter or Cisse on the right wing.

He isn't the only target and I'm sure Benitez has his eyes on others. I would like to see Salihamidzic here.

Maybe the place you got this qoute from (SSN you say, but dont know if off tv or web etc;) said it was about Liverpool, but actually those comments were in regard to Man City's offer for Stelios!!

They came out on the day of the match and announced they had lodged an official offer I believe!!

They made the comments when City made a bid, and today after we made our interest public.

Fair enough, gonna go check it now, if it is the case then f.uck BW!!!!

by **Siddy454** » Thu Aug 25, 2005 12:02 pm

Would be a good addition to the squad and scors plenty

i see the reasoning behind this, but we had a lot of time to sign somebody decent, but we left everything to the last week and now we need a band-aid solution. I wish we could have forked out 10m for a world class right winger.

I dont really think we chose to leave it all to the last minute.
There hasnt been that much available this summer, not sure why.
Just because he doesnt come from some club i never heard of that is based in a country that i never go to.
Doesnt mean he wont be a success if we do buy him

by **rash** » Thu Aug 25, 2005 1:02 pm

yeah he might do the job, but surely we all know the boundaries of stelios's capabilities
