Why do folks get so antsy when these idiot clubs start throwing money around so foolishly? Be cool. We will be fine. It will definitely come together for us. I was more upset when City managed to land Kompany for £6 million. Now that had me pissed off, because that was a good signing and one we should have been in on. This £30 million for Berbatov business is just embarrassing in my eyes. Poor way to go about things. 28 yr old striker who has an attitude problem? Rubbish. I would have been more startled had they signed Benzema/Villa/Aguero for £30 million tbh. Now that would have been scary. Again i'm on the same wavelength. The likes of Kompany, SWP etc were more astute signings.

have they not brought in more than they have spent? not sure as they signed corluka but 20m for keane and 30m+ for berba isnt bad business It's good business financially but poor in football terms. Those two were their two best performers last year and they have sold them. As of yet, they have not replaced them. Spurs problem this year is that they have had far too big a turnover in players. same with us and milner apart from the fact that he wasnt in the same class More like apart from Milner is only rated by other fans.

Very true. If wasn't for other clubs announcing departures we would know nothing. Hopefully, there are more coming in and the clubs are keeping tight lipped.

I think Bassong may have been the back up for left back.

I reckon one more. However, i'd be a brave man to guess who it is. I will though.... malouda.

As KK says everyone has their price. We are in the driving seat, lets hold out for 12m+. We aren't really in the driving seat as his contract runs out next summer and he can negotiate with other clubs from January, whcih is right in the middle of our season when he should be focused on playing for us you see. Still have a feeling flashy pants Man City will bid for him to play with Berbs. I meant in the driving seat, in terms of today. We don't have to sell him because even for a season he is still valuable. However, for the right price he could be sold and by the looks of it there are some desperate clubs to be had.

As KK says everyone has their price. We are in the driving seat, lets hold out for 12m+. Or better yet why not keep our top scorer? That's what i would like too but just exploring the possibilities.

Actually rob lee was far from an unknown when we signed him. Here we go again on this forum . it's the same old s***, anyone that does follow the party line is mocked and ridiculed, instead of people just respecting other peoples opinions, because that's all they bloody are opinions and the "party line" is no way more correct then any others. Aye but you just said how you didn't understand why us or valencia would want this deal, then i explained it to you but you just ignored it.

£28m was the bid, so £31m + is Citeh's bid. No doubt we'll see the return of Dr Spec (if he's not dead) very soon if this comes off. Bastard!! You would have to prise him form the ceiling first

Man Utd reportedly only bid around 24m the last i heard.

Absolutely, i'd be very suprised if they remain quiet.

We need a little from column A and column B. I too like the way we go about our business. Quiet, good deals and well thought out. HOWEVER, when push comes to shove, the club needs to be able to break the bank for quality additions. I think doing the first, allows for the second. I also believe the club will, the fact we were looking at the likes of Nasri and Modric suggests this.

How the hell did SAHA pass a medical? everton made him touch his toes for the medical He nearly did aswell.

I'm starting to get irritated, we haven't signed anyone in two hours. Xisco deal has blatently fallen through.

ACM apparently. Could be exactly what we need.

I'd be very suprised if he is not. Who offers a player 120k a week and sells him the next day? As well as that KK was asked directly about Owen to which he replied "Arsenal will not be Owens last game for us". However, things do change. Unless we made the offer ages ago, and only yesterday found out he has no intention of signing it - so announced the offer to let the fans know it's him who wants to go if he does. That makes worrying sense. Very similar to the Milner situation.

Where's that Owen shite from? He won't go anywhere.

Totally agree, this is a baffling one for me, i just can't work it out for either valencia or ourselves. Have you not read this thread like? It's very simple. The guy was part owned by Danubio and Valencia. Valencia are in financial s***. They decided to buy the other half of him in order to send him out on loan, so that when he returns he may command a fee, as they need the money. We have decided to be the side that loan's him out as he ticks alot of the boxes. In order to protect their investment they have made him sign a four year deal, before going out on loan. Next year if he impresses, Valencia can get a healthy figure and we may be able to get a good player that we have had a chance to look at. I guarantee you it will come up again very shortly. I'm going to go with halfway down the next page, before another nervous wreck starts lamenting on the fact the great and mighty Newcastle dared to loan a player from another club, therefore severely damaging their big club status. People are getting it mixed up with the Rossi style loan signing. Where we are effectively getting used by another club to develop their youngster.

Valencia have tied down his contract for insurance reasons, we did the same with Viana and Krul before sending him out on loan. This means that they are in the driving seat should anyone bid for him. Happens all the time. If they REALLY wanted to keep him long term, they would not have sent him out on loan. It's not like he's a teenager, who's learning his trade.

I don't think he is. No. He is a top talent but he's two years too old to command that sort of fee. Still class mind.

Watch Man Utd equal it and sign him in the final hour. Blatantly going to happen.
