Red or Dead Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 5 Dec 2014 - 2:30pm Forlan slams team-mates and wants out of Cerezo Osaka! http://theworldgame.sbs.com.au/article/2014/12/05/forlan-slams-team-mates-and-wants-out-cerezo-osaka He is a striker, he is quality and I'd take him in a heart-beat, even if he's 35! Let's hope we offload Williams in January and pick up this legend "under the cap"...if our new owners can look past him having played for the red side of Manchester over 10 years ago...

Deviant Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 If he slams those guys, what's doing him from cracking it at our players? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeartFc Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 5 minutes of training with Ramsey, Hoffman and Williams and he'd be as useful as krusty the clown. He is old though so he fits the clubs "old cunt" policy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenSeater Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 Earns waaaay too much to fit under the salary cap. Plus I'd imagine CFG are forking out a fair bit per week to Kennedy after January so no way they're gonna bring in another striker to keep him on the bench.

strider Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 Forlan could be half asleep and hungover and still outperform any striker in this league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewConvert Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 Forlan could be half asleep and hungover and still outperform any striker in this league We said that about Villa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silva10 Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 After his stint at United he joined Villlarreal where he was managed by a certain Manuel Pellegrini I have actually always liked Forlan as a player, just a pity it is defence that we need to strengthen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeartinHobart Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 I'm sick of big name 30 something's being thrown around. We need a core bunch of quality players mid to late 20's that we can build a successful club on for the years to come. Not these former stars as a papered over quick fix. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrot Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 I'm sick of big name 30 something's being thrown around. We need a core bunch of quality players mid to late 20's that we can build a successful club on for the years to come. Not these former stars as a papered over quick fix. That's what this year's version of Perth Glory appears to be - a physically strong side with plenty of players in their mid to late 20s. They even managed to sign 28 years old Irish international Andy Keogh under the salary cap! There is no comparison between his quality and work rate with our current strikers. If he was Australian there'd be plenty of calls for him to be in our Asian Cup squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n i k o Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 There's no comparison to their whole squad. They've done unbelievably well during the off season recruitment wise. It's no coincidence they're on top of the ladder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnno cpfc Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 Do any of you people listen to anybody, we DO NOT need a striker we Desperately need a left back , Diego Forlan is TOO OLD full stop. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shahanga Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 Do any of you people listen to anybody, we DO NOT need a striker we Desperately need a left back , Diego Forlan is TOO OLD full stop and that is why we will no doubt sign him to a 3 year deal. The club will later explain how it happened - "well we knew we needed a player and he came up so we grabbed him. i guess we should have looked at it closer, but we got confused and as we were too busy working on a CFG wide social media fan platform and some new caps for fashion victims we didn't have time to check the details. Anyway, we just won a prize for community work, so our season was a success" 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnno cpfc Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 Why not both. Well just for starters we CANNOT AFFORD BOTH, but we may just be able to afford a GOOD left back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
