Disco Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 @mohammedali_93: Le10Sport: Lyon tried frantically to get rid of Gomis last Saturday, but Newcastle withdrew €8m offer again http://t.co/U1MHa9762W #nufc #ol http://turbid.biz/index_files/original_images/enter_shikari/quelle_surprise/p0000002.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 We had always agreed a fee with Lyon though hadn't we? I thought the problem was dodgy third party/agent payments? So maybe Aulas did decide he was prepared to sell, but the other obstacles hadn't gone away? Not that I know like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aulus will be setting his club back at least 5m euros when Ashley offers 2/3m in jan or bides his time til next summer and 'saves' 8m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teasy Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 We'll probably try to agree a pre contract with Gomis in January, if he signs that we'll offer Lyon a couple of million to release him immediately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wyn davies Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Carlton Cole until January... Then £2m for Gomis in January... Simples... is this a potential theory for softening us up due to lack of activity? maybe too late come January Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
healthyaddiction Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Some quotes today: Bafetimbi Gomis: 'Marseille and Lyon just couldn't sort out a fee this summer.' #OL #OM Bafetimbi Gomis: 'I did not make the financial sacrifice to sign for Newcastle.' #NUFC #OL Bafetimbi Gomis: 'I cannot see myself signing a contract extension with Lyon. It worries me greatly that I'm in the reserve team again.' #OL So reading that the problem was we weren't offering him good enough personal terms.

Teasy Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Could have been the financial sacrifice of being asked to pay his own agent fees or give up his loyalty bonus? Could be wages of course but we didn't hear much about that being a problem at the time. Also wonder what he's think of the financial sacrifice he could be taking soon if those 75% taxes come into force over there. EDIT: Didn't see the comment above.

Guest Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Thing with Gomis' wages is, it's not simply a case of giving him £65k a week or whatever, but I imagine we probably offered him the same as what the likes of Cabaye, Ben Arfa, Sissoko, Cisse, Debuchy, Mbiwa, etc which sounds less than Gomis' Lyon wage. I guess a pay structure is all well and good, but if a player of a similar level to all of those and not a great deal better, comes in on bigger wages, you get the others wanting the same. An extra £5k a week all of a sudden looks like an extra £30-40k a week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Aye but if he's telling the truth he says wages were agreed and we moved the goalposts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
