arithmetic Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 OK I'll ask again Why would I still prefer Ross McCormack, Nicky Maynard or even Billy Sharp to this guy. Its illogical, he's a far better player than any of those, and yet I still feel our promotion prospects would be better were we to sign one of those three. They're all relatively proven at this level, and young enough to build a squad around. That's always going to be more exciting than an old, out of contract player from a relegated squad. Don't think I'd take Maynard over Klasnić even if he was available, no chance at all of signing Sharp, and only the slightest of chances that McCormack would come to us even if he turns Colin down, so it's academic really.

Plonk Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 We created shed loads last season and had no one who could finish them. Always really impresses when I've seen this lad on tv and would be ecstatic IF we could get him. Only reason bolton are getting shut is they are skint and can't afford him. Go on milan you know you want to! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest foreverSWFC Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 But all 2 or 3 million out of our price range Oh of course! We'd never be able to sign them, Klasnic would be good business IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warner Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 how old was klinsman when he signed for spurs?, how old is kevin phillips?, theres plenty of great players over 30 is scholes over 30 now? and beckham of course, we'd still have no chance of signing any of these players as they are right now(excluding klinsman because of retirement) because prem teams still value them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkeye Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I'll tell you what. I hope Wednesday never get taken over by the fans, if Owlstalk is a wide selection of fan opinions. For weeks ppl have been posting the usual "can he do a job" threads and all we get is never heard of him, he can't be that good, we need someone with more experience. Them ppl turn their noses up when players like Owen and Klasnic get mentioned. Lets face it they'd both be up there with the best strikers in the division. C'mon owlstalkers what do we want. We can't have a young, hungry striker with bags of experience. Theres a difference between experienced strikers who can do a job, and an injury prone, wage sapping former talent like own, and an ageing striker who hardly ever gets into double figures. Cant see why we should potentially blow the budget on these two, when there are far safer gambles on less money available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3mps Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Klasnic is Quality... can't see him coming to us surely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bobs Brain Tonic Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Would be a REYT signing. Really couldn't understand how N'gog was playing instead of him every week in the prem. Big Ivan would bag 20+ in champ, we're probably looking at signing 2 maybe even 3 strikers this summer so no worries about his lack of pace.

gurujuan Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Not really turning my nose up at the possibility of signing him, just trying to understand why I was feeling like that. It seemed illogical that I might want players unproven at the level Klasnic's played ahead of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arithmetic Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 is scholes over 30 now? Er, a little bit, yeah. He's nearer 40 than 30. Bit of a freak though, not even going blind could slow him down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jockolad Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Would the money not be better spent trying to get a couple of season long loans for younger, hungrier prem players? ( I admit this is a gamble but...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latemodelchild Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Can we all just step back a second and take stock of the fact that we are being linked with players of this quality? Regardless of whether its bullcrap or not, it's made me grin this morning. The Wednesday are coming back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
