Skrtel

[urban genie]

the guys a thug at times and no better than what we have, would rather if we were looking at there players we buy agger as he is much better than him, personally buy niether as liverpools defenders are crap

 

[Lomas has a lob on]

20 mil is probably around what we've been quoted! Thats not to say he's worth it!

Like another poster mentioned, I have also heard he wants out of Liverpool, and even put in a transfer request on the eve of their last game of the season, to Swansea, hence why he never featured in the squad!

For what it's worth, I think he'd be a great signing, he would really add proper competition to the CB position, he's a good age, proven in our league, and I think I'm right in saying he has won Liverpools player of the year, 2 years running, Plus he's only missed I think 3 games in the last 2 Premier league seasons.

I've been told by a good source a while back that we are after Skrtel, Supposedly he wants out of Liverpool too.
Hope we sign him he's a good player.

£20 MILLION?!?!?!?!??!
You've got to be having a laugh, much better CB's out there for that! Chelsea got Cahill for like £8M!

Because Cahill was out of contract at the end of the season.
He was being rated at 18m with 18months on his contract

Yeah and Cahill is far better than Skrtel (imo), £20M would be daylight robbery. £13M tops.

 

[waspish]

12m max

 

[adrianr]

Should go for Agger instead. Don't know why we're interested in Skrtel. Put him in a City shirt and that lads going to make Balotelli's disciplinary record look blinding!

 

[glossop is blue]

I hope we don't get him. Better c/h in the league than him.

 

[Davs 19]

£20million would be highway robbery, I don't believe we're paying that for him.

I struggle to beleive we're paying anything for him. Uncultured thug.

THIS

rather we went for Agger or Coloccini, who have both been quoted at lower prices

Post on RAWK saying that the club shop refused to seel a shirt with Skirtel on the back

Might be total bollocks as the guy that posted it on has 40 posts in total but no body has called him / her a lying bastard

Watch this space i guess

 

[Heart.net]

Daniel agger is the better player.

 

[MCRJON]

Was on a stag do this weekend for a scouser - half the attendees were scousers and they all seemed adament that he was coming to City. Some well known Liverpool source has been on about.

I dont know the source or if its true but they were already talking about who should replace him.

Agger is made of glass.
Skrtel is a much, much better centre half than Collocini or Cahill. He is a leader.
£20m seems over the top but don't doubt he is a very good defender

He's a very tenacious defender, good in the air, male bravado personified with his aggression, but we already have a good CB partnership in Kompany and Lescott. If your going to pay 20 million which is 5 million more than his worth imo, why would you buy someone whose limitations are the same as what we already have.

Skrtel has limited passing range, is prone to the odd brainfade moment which is likely to be magnified on our team and is a pretty average tackler.

A CB that has good passing range and accuracy is what we need.

Nobody has said a serious no yet.

Seriously. No, thanks.

Limited passing range? I take it you didn't watch Blackburn vs Liverpool.

 

[Daz_Blue]

Swap for AJ ?

 

[fatbloke]

We usually suffer against teams who try to rough us up and it would definitely help us and give us the option to go 5 at the back as Mancini has done several times this season to hold onto a lead. He does seem to have matured this last 12-18 months and doesn't dive into stupid tackles as much although he is prone to the odd rash one. With Vinny or Jolene next to him I'm sure he'll up his game again and become a more cultured defender without King Kenny telling him to launch it at Andy Carroll's napper every 5 minutes.

I Agree. Skrtel is a very good CB, big, strong, powerful and very commanding. He doesn't just launch a ball out when he has possession just simple effective defending and he lets others do the fancy passing.

As a defensive pool of players that City have, Skrtel will be a very good additiion. I doubt he is being aquired for a starting birth week in week out, but as we experianced last year, we were caught short for strength in depth in the CB role.

 

[LHarper]

I think he'd be a good addition to the squad, won Liverpool's player of the season last year (not overly difficult I suppose), and Liverpool did have a good defensive record last season. He would be good back-up for Lescott and Kompany. £20 million sounds a bit excessive though, and I doubt we will end up paying that much for him.

As long as he's happy to be a squad player I think he would be a good buy.

just wanted to point about that. It's one of favorites for the pass of the season.
