Aye lets not play Hatem to prevent a January transfer so when we go down as a result of it we have to sell him in June. Superb logic that.

Yeah i'm not saying it generates instant revenue, but it does help and their revenue over there has sky rocketed since signing Park. Obviously they had a platform to build from anyway but if you are to buy a future Asian star or one who already is its likely you can make a lot of money on them.

my theory seems to be quite realistic then. Based on approximately two minutes of youtubing mind you Well yeah but i had heard that he was a CB with skills while being a physical specimen not to mention his age. A lot of things that would appeal to us, not to mention he would be cheap

I don't have the numbers on me but it's no coincidence how big they got in Asia since they signed Park. You can make a shit load on shirt sales alone by getting Asian players.

Would be a nice idea as i feel Santon needs some competition anyway and if he can play both flanks even better. I agree on the Asian market btw the added bonus being how much money you can make of them, look how much Man Yoo made off Park for example There's a lot of untapped potential in areas we don't look at.

my theory seems to be quite realistic then.

From what you have seen what is he like technically? i have a feeling that the club are targeting him not only as someone to come in and do a job now but as a long term replacement for Colo.

Tbf i would rather that than Williamson's no confidence and i doubt he could make as many mistakes as Williamson does It's not just possible.

Me too. Now his ultimatum that Debuchy join otherwise he wouldn't play, has been met.

Probably and if this does happen we need to move to back up plans quickly, if we go into rest of season with the possibility of Shola.

Nothing like buying players to stop other teams from getting them

I like that if only Williamson wasn't there

God that would be amazing Fiorentina have been great to watch with him at the helm.

Tiote is at the ACN mate. b******! Forgot about that. Erm, no idea who to stick in the CDM role then. Apparently Jonas is back so i think he will be the one who comes in, especially if Cabaye doesn't start.

Yes because i'm convinced a decent manager would gets required out of the players to make sure we stay up and then go again in the summer. I have lost all confidence in Pardew to do anything without the purples on the pitch so he needs the likes of Cabaye, Taylor etc etc back and also Remy and a CB brought in That wouldn't be the case with any one decent as these players should not be anywhere near relegation.

I'd break the bank for him personally if that's what it took but will Ashley do it? will he f*ck

Have we actually been linked with him or is it just us lot and who we'd like? Yeah we have, quite a few times actually most journos seem to think he's our 2nd choice after Remy. Anyway not sure if its been posted but L'Equipe are expecting a formal offer from us in the next 24 hrs.

Yeah that is how i saw it too, as depressing as it maybe.

Well he still does most likely as we are not going to get someone of Ba's quality for under 10m but yeah the majority if this is true has been paid for by Ba's sale. They'll have been hoping we believed the "club only get half the fee" stuff. £7.5 million can buy you a very good striker if you're willing to spend it (on a striker). Yeah i know i was just saying regardless of what they say he's still going to have to get some cash out because in this month especially its very difficult to replace that quality for even 7.5m. Whether we got 5m or 7.5m it's irrelevant really as he would still have to get off his arse and spend some cash especially with our supposed targets.

Well you couldn't do any worse.....

Well he still does most likely as we are not going to get someone of Ba's quality for under 10m but yeah the majority if this is true has been paid for by Ba's sale. That was always my understanding too.

Ah right that makes more sense.
