Guest YANKEEBLEEDSMAGPIE Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I don't think Andy was considering leaving until his agent tells him this morning that NUFC look to be serious about weighing offers for him from Liverpool and Tottenham and that he may have to put in a transfer request in order to get the 2x-3x salary increase that he'd probably get. I firmly believe he was happy at our club and willing to stay, but when the club looked so eager to shop him around, I think he realized he had to do what was best for himself in an uncertain situation, and in order to guarantee his payday, was willing to submit the transfer request to make sure he got it.

JH Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 If I were a Liverpool fan, I'd be livid with this. That they're leaving the transfer window far, far stronger than they were on Jan 1st? Yeah, livid. Clueless. Whereas we are leaving it far weaker - currently 3 players down an dour best player gone. And virtually all of the lower half teams have strengthened. It's Jan 09 all over again, but worse. And some are actually defending Ashley. Laughable. There's a big difference between defending someone, and not blaming them for something that isn't their fault. You don't think we could have easily kept him? He wanted the money, man. He also rejected Liverpool's bid. If he wanted it that badly, he wouldn't have rejected it. Nonsense. It's called getting the best deal. Sorry.

Thespence Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I bet he was tapped up during his England call-up btw. Nailed on. More likely when he was staying at Nolans gaff & Nolan is banging on about Liverpool in the 80's, Liverpool winning the champions league, how great Cream was in the 90s, how great the bars are in Liverpool, how Liverpool became the capital of culture.

Teasy Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Got to love the delusion of people thinking this money will be reinvested in the squad to a decent degree. I'll be stunned if we make any signing over £8m for the foreseeable future. A fee of £10m+ means big wages and then the rest of the squad want increases etc etc. Not going to happen. Yeah going on past trends is delusional. Where as pulling opinions out of your arse is sound logic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Begbie Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I just love this shit about NUFC. We needed a winger and a striker before this transfer window. Now we are a Winger and most likely a striker short after it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 So are we getting this paid in cash upfront or is it by dripeed over the next 5 years? We buy up front and sell in installments. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackie Broon Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Going on about how great the money is reminds me of people who were thrilled about the housing market going crazy five years ago "My house is worth three times what I paid for it!" Yeah, that's cos house prices have gone up, dickhead, unless you're planning on selling your house and not buying another one this doesn't really help you. The fact is that we now need a striker in a market where a 22 year old who's had half a good season costs £35m, we're not the most attractive prospect and no-one's going to give us a deal because they know we've got money in the bank. Spot on. The point a lot of people seem to be missing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GM Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 If I were a Liverpool fan, I'd be livid with this. I'd think they're most likely a bit wary of having spent £35M on a relatively unproven player rather than actually livid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
