Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Yeah well lets look at the bright side, we might not bring in any strikers and we'll fall badly behind the rest of the PL but at least Ashley saves some coin, that makes it all worthwhile for me at the end of the day.

Dave Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 If Lyon have accepted bigger bids than ours earlier this summer then fair play to them for insisting we meet the same. We seem to think the same rules don't apply to us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 We need to publicly state we will be back on January 1st to offer him a great free contract, just don't strain yourself on the pitch till then Gomis, minimum effort required. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skirge Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Be interesting to see who folds first, I think there is a good chance it will be Gomis. We wan't him to hold out and hope OL say ok fk it and accept our offer, but if there are bids already accepted then I can see Gomis just going to one of them rather than hope OL back down.

TRon Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 If Lyon have accepted bigger bids than ours earlier this summer then fair play to them for insisting we meet the same. We seem to think the same rules don't apply to us. Yes, if they are willing to hold out for the full price and are prepared to lose him for free next year then fair play to them. But I still expect them to come back and accept a compromise fee before the window closes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeletor Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 OL want £8.6m We offer £6.9m I wonder if they have any intention at all of meeting us half way or if they are just gong to be ridged as fk over the fee. If we up our offer to £8m and they reject it then fair enough we should walk away, they are taking the p*ss but right now we are well short and they were never going to drop that low. Why would they be taking the p*ss. Three clubs have reportedly offered what they want in the past few weeks... They seem to be refusing to negotiate as they are well aware of our situation and if three clubs have offered the £8.6m why are we even bothering ? Surely Gomis woud be in talks with the other clubs. He rejected them, which is part of the reason why their president is unhappy with him. If it would be us, and we had received 3 20 million offers for say Cabaye, would you be happy for us to accept an offer of 15 million from Man U because that's where he wants to go himself? I know I wouldn't! If he had one year left on his contract I think we'd have to grin and bear that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDT Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 They have a CL qualifier soon so may not need to sell if they qualify for the group stages. If they lose though they may well be forced to accept the lower bid for Gomis. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't sound right. He'd cash in like he did with the derisory fee we got for Enrique. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
