Zat Knight would be great if we want to ensure relegation.

Interesting point. Maybe there's truth to this whole French/Spanish-speaking thing Macdonald got a lot of abuse on here for and Colo feels that he's not valued any more. When you look at the Debuchy transfer it makes you wonder about the influence Cabaye now has at the club. Sorry like I don't buy the 'not valued' thing at all. They valued him by making him the highest paid player at the club, the manager compared him to Bobby Moore. Even Cabaye has mentioned in interviews in the past that he sees Colo as out best player. The players all seem to admire and respect him, for me this is either something in his personal life or something directly related to the manager. The fact he ONLY wants to go to San Lorenzo suggests it's not a problem with any one at the club otherwise he'd just want to leave and go anywhere decent that would bid for him.

Did he say why?

Shocking...

Probably not given what he said about Remy and us before.

He's a time waster.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO

Starting to?

Was actually my first thought when I read those quotes

Depends. If cheap enough it would be good to have two players for left back. Especially if he's a left footed left back. Would think though that we're after Isimat Mirin though.

Same club as Isimat Mirin. Would have thought he was our target.

Lots of things to consider tbf... money, playing time, preference of league etc etc. Maybe the terms we are offering... i.e. a starting place in a stronger league than Ligue 1 is enticing him? All assumptions of course as it could be a load of BS but it isn't really as simple as all that. No I can well believe we're pushing the boat out for him given what's been said before.

How exactly do you edge ahead on a pre-contract? He either signs or he doesn't.

Wishful thinking.

Our manager is the complete opposite, in the press anyway. Biggest thing for me is he always calls things fairly like the quote Dave pointed out above. Unlike our manager who has an excuse for every thing.

Laudrup just oozes positivity when he speaks. So jealous of Swansea right now.

Seeing him today made me think just what we might have had if we'd had an attacking minded manager.

Don't think Tomkins would add much to our defence beyond being another body. We need someone better.

5/6 days? Too slow. Useless kernts.
