2013/14 - Transfer rumours and squad discussions

[isrodger]

Few mentions on a few other forums about this guy. Alledgedly Cellino told him he's coming to England this summer.Cagliari midfielder. Watch this-looks like Rudy Austin on speed,WITH an eye for goal. He's almost Yeboah-esque.

Having watched that again, I'd say he's far too good for us............

Ah, yes, Ibarbo, he's the player I most wanted from Cagliari.

It will be interesting to see if we pay a fee. Another way aronf FPP?

He's a starter at Cagliari, will he really want to go from Serie A to the Championship, from a top division club to a second division club? Could only see him wanting to come here if we were promoted. He's a Colombian international - trying to compete with Falcao, Martinez and Muriel is hard enough, without dropping to a second tier club.

It will be really intersting how this pans out - theoretically Cellino could transfer calgari's top 4 players for £100,000. Would they come, if all four were sold the same dream, maybe, probably not. A couple of youngsters from south America plus tommy Rowe!

Italians are notoriously rare in English football, I would love us to get some Italians in our team, please Mr Cellino, make this happen.

He looks a bit slow and weak on the ball for my liking

I'm not really sure Tommy Rowe is the right player for us, unless we continue with this 5-3-2/3-5-2 formation - even then, is he really any better than Aidy White?

Yes, he is.

And Ibarbo? Absolutely no chance, transfer fee would be £10,000,000+.

[Wilfred Martin]

It was reported by Cellino in January that Ibarbo was on Barcelona's radar. Can't imagine that he would be too enthralled about playing for a Championship club.

Well okay then.

Cellino says Gianfranco Matteoli = incredible academy director and 5/6 academy products in Cagliari 1st team. Interesting he could involve him at #lufc

That's the kind of news I love to hear, academy products, fantastic academy director etc. It's the Leeds way and apparently Cellino's way too. Does require patience though and an acceptance that Brown may be over the hill.

I don't know about that, Cagliari's captain is a 36/37 year old central midfielder, Conti, so clearly Cellino values a midfield general leading the kids.

Conti's 35 and worried about a new contract. Brown's 37 and leaves Colin to do his worrying for him
