Unbelievable

Shame, sounded like a ready made replacement for Guthrie.

Really? In that case I'd fully expect him to be miffed.

Why would he be miffed about representing his country and participating in the Olympics? I'd say it's quite an honour.

The buying club in question has nothing to do with it. Do you expect us to have sympathy if it was somebody like Everton just because they're not made of money? We'd still only sell on our terms. In addition to that you have to consider that for a club like FC Twente we are like Man City compared to them in terms of financial power due to the outrageous TV deals in the Premiership. It's bad enough English clubs beying able to poach all the best talent from other leagues (from their perspective), but now you're esseantially saying they should just roll over and accept whatever we offer them?

We'd still want to maximize the transfer fee wouldn't we? It has to be a reasonable price though So if Man City come in for Cisse, and his agent declares he would like to move as it's a step up in his career you'd expect NUFC to be reasonable in setting a transfer fee? Rightio. I'd expect us to say 50 million or you can bugger off, and rightfully so.

Agreed. I thought you were implying they should let him leave for less than they're asking because he wants away. It appears FC Twente really don't want to and need to sell unless they get an offer they can't refuse, which is pretty much how we operate as well. Seeing as we've proven in the past we'd rather get nobody in than pay more than we believe a player is worth for it to be an excellent deal it now definitely looks like this will not happen. I sincerely hope and actually trust the club now that we've got some more strings to ouw bow and we won't gamble like we've done in the past season (succesfully it has to be said) with the striker, full back and centre back positions.

Promising..

New quotes from Steve McLaren and Louis Laros, his agent, in Voetbal International: and

Nah man, he's their talisman.

You know who on Pardew saying he admires Spain:

He'd go. Probably bollocks of course. If rumours are to be believed the clause doesn't even apply to them. Would be hilarious if they came in and said: "Right, so we've heard about this clause in Ba's contract. Here's the 7 million required to get him in", only for us to turn around and reply: "the clause only applies to the top clubs. We'll be having another 35 million if you want to talk to him thank you very much. Now kindly piss off".

Probably that Express article that nobody has been able to confirm. God knows how they got 8 million euros though..

He's just done it. AJ.

A more pertinent question is who the fuck is that lass in your sig?

No other source for this. Most probably BS

Crap source..

That and the fact they have shit eyesight.

For me the best part is how he conveniently ignores some of them have actually played in the Champions League before.

I miss Paxton..

That the third time in a few hours I've been unable to resist this question: "You do realise the transfer window is still open do you?"

We have 3 strikers left now. One is physically incapable of playing more than 20 minutes and another is capable of 70 minutes at best. You realise the transfer window is still open yes?

Think? Why don't we get in contact with his agent to see what he wants if it's true that we're interested in him?
