haha, clubs a fucking mess.

His program notes are embarrassing, not for him but for the fans. What the fuck is he doing here?

Personally think he's a very shakey full back who positionally is all over the place quite frequently. I think he can burst forward well but his end product is pretty limited. Dont mind him, but doesnt look as good as we'd hoped he would be, although that could be the Pardew effect.

Depends on how much money we would get for him... If we got our money back, then we be mad not to sell him.. Well considering that would leave us with Shola and two strikers which we'll never cough up the money to get permanently here, i'd say it is pretty mad. But then again, that's football logic. Not our greatest trait.

Utterly pointless selling Cisse. They're taking the piss if they do.

Cabaye has gone for Champions League and you can't blame him for that. But this regime spouts on as if we're the size of Norwich or Hull. Their stewardship saw us relegated and we've been made to think small ever since. Even after we got 5th, points away from a Championsleague spot, our transfer activity represented that of a newly promoted club. If we acted like the club we all know we're meant to be, then maybe the likes of Cabaye won't be so desperate to leave.

Which is it then? The first part says everything. If you're truly serious and determined to bring a player in, you go with an offer than represents the selling clubs valuation, unless of course its preposterous. We don't though, we f*** about with lower offers or haggle over agent fee's. It's not because we don't want to be ripped off, its because we're adverse to spending full stop. There is always something that prevents the deal going through, whereas every other club on planet earth seems to get most of their deals done with no fuss whatsoever.

You can translate however you want but the fact is that yet again, we haven't done enough to bring the player in. As a club it's becoming idiosyncratic.

might it not have been prudent to source alternatives before hand? rather than one player? A bid under the valuation and wages half of what cabaye was getting? He said this 2 days ago, man: Bloke doesn't know where he's at. polemic viewpoints "we won't spend anything!!" / "lol at you fake bid crew!" So we bid £10 million and it didn't work, either because the fee was too low, or possibly because the player was never that interested. I reckon it was more the second one. Low bids tend to work when the player actively wants the move no? I'd have liked to see a few alternatives yeah. But replacing Cabaye is not an easy job. Personally I don't know who those alternatives would be. I trust in Carr's judgement. I'd rather hang on and get the right player. There's little left to play for this season. I don't love our transfer policy but you'd have to admit, we've brought in some superb transfers. Not enough obviously, but the days of spunking £6m on the likes of Bramble are over. This is the only username I've ever had. Now that I'm done talking, you may bring the rage. What's the point if we're not actively looking to purchase his recommendations anymore. He's on the clubs payroll to watch games, thats it. The proof is staring us in the face, in the last year we've borrowed 2 players.

We could easily afford to pay 15mil for him. No confidence we'll do that though. We had money prior to the Cabaye deal, just never spent any of it.

Just pay the required ffs. He's blatantly open to coming here.

Grenier only has to say no.

He gives dating advice..

I liked a few. The one after we got done 0-6 off liverpool he was fairly spot on imo. Now he's all over the place and the things gotten to his head

True Geordie is drunk on his youtube fame now. His one when the mackems got to the final was utter cringe stuff. Just came across as totally bitter. He used to make really good vids i thought but he could dee with packing it in for a while.

lol

If we can play like we did v Norwich and convert our chances then who knows. Can't say im confident though.

The lad looks fed up

Four of the first team squad out at the moment to be fair, no doubt people will say well one isn't coming back (Cabaye) but one will soon be in the door who would have started today. True, but that's still the point im trying to make. Squad depth is the solution to players being out and we dont have any. Imagine if HBA got crocked tonight.

16 year old on the bench basically says a lot about the quality of the squad. A few injuries and soon looks weak.

He said we would be wise to cash in now due to his 'stability clause'. He then got a torrent of abuse similar to above actually. He did an interview with Cabaye and Debuchy a few weeks ago on BT, seemed very palsy with them. Made me wonder if the comments regarding Cabaye showed they were in cahoots and something had been said to him. Still seems hugely unlikely though, purely because of the fuck on it would going through court and that.

Julian Laurens started that stuff off, and he's gone down in my estimation since. Seems a right little attention seeker. You would have to be pretty desperate to buy out 2 years of your deal to get away. And like mentioned before, it hardly seems a simple affair to carry it out.

It seems like they aren't jumping around at him joining them. The only man who really desired to see him there seems to be Blanc. I know it means little to players these days but he wont get anywhere near the adulation at PSG that he got here. They have gone terribly arrogant since they became rich.

f*** off PSG founded in the 70s. s*** club. Worst fans in Ligue 1. Allez l'OM. 2nd worse after Monaco imo.

Lets not have a go at Ashley. He's doing all he can to keep up with them footballing behemoths ... Hull, Everton, Sunderland.
