As usual, everyone will rush to blame the Lyon chairman when the common denominator in all of these deals that go pear shaped is us acting the cunt in an attempt to shave a couple of percent off.

being a regular on here I thought the default position was to blame our lot ?

 

maybe using the evidence to hand on each occasion may make things more even.

[LFEE]

We should forget about this and move onto the next person on the hit list

 

If he's our number one target which we're lead to believe he is then just keep plugging away... Still plenty of time left in the window...

Or you could follow trends in our transfer behaviour which include targeting unsettled players which can lead to protracted negotiations if we're pinching pennies as we always do, and as a result quite often leaving ourselves short and sacrificing points until we get the deal done.

transfer window behaviour ?  like agreeing a fee for remy last january and (rumour has it) aubameyang a few weeks back ?

 

admittedly we do take advantage of contract stuff (bloody well ope we would) but it's not the be all and end all.

No... Was thinking more the last week rather than last hour...

[Pilko]

Or, of course, it could simply be one pack of stubborn cunts against another. But why let that get in the way of some slightly clearer cut regime bashing?

 

There's every chance we'll go into the Man City game with no new players available for selection, trivialise that idea all you like but it's not acceptable.

 

I wasn't trivialising that idea at all. I think if you can criticise our lot for anything on this deal it's not moving on to another one sooner. That interview with Kinnear made it sound like we're doing one deal at a time.

he didn't, and left for a biggish fee.

Remy's club wanted rid and we've only got him now that his club needed to get rid. Fuck knows what awful offer we made for Gervinho.

We bid and he chose to go elsewhere, dont see what's funny. Mind you, you would have just complained he was foreign anyway. Probably best we didn't sign him.

Pretty sure we were 'priced out'?

 

But yeah dirty foreigners n all that - good point, well made. Needs more gifs though. Preferably Pardew ones.

[Mole_Toonfan]

St Etienne said we made a bigger offer than Dortmund did for Aubameyang but the player wanted Dortmund and they in their words " respected his wishes".

I was only joking mate it was something you said recently that made me chuckle. With Luuk De Jong, i thought we bid enough but he went because the team he went to had Champions Leauge footy. Could be wrong but i thought that was it.

Fair do's RE: the foreigner thing I grew up watching players I knew cared for the club; Kelly, Clark, Beardsley, Sir Les, Shearer, Speed, etc. Krul aside (& maybe a misguided Taylor but given his regular Pards/JFK comments not so sure) I don't see that in our first team.

 

Anyhoo, speaking for myself I just wish we a little more diverse when it came to recruitment (nationality not an issue). I know we've all been made more than aware value is king but I think a few have bought in to this a little too much, even more so when we're pretty much chasing fuck all but being solvent as a football club these days. It's fucking boring IMO.

I must admit it was good seeing us with the players you mentioned, but i'm definitely a "couldn't care less where he's from if he's good enough type". I certainly agree with you about broadening our searches, now i know this goes against what i just said but i really think we've raided France a little too much now. But while Ashley runs us, it's about the best value for money market, wherever that may be.
