Guest The Libertine Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 So we offered £5m for a player his club rate at £15m. The best bit is loads of people on this forum knew we'd not get close to him for £5m, so you have to wonder what Kinnear/Wise were thinking about. what was wise's role in this?

Liam Liam Liam O Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Speaking of negotiation... De Jong's contract contains a clause that would allow him to leave in the summer for £1.8m, but City have reportedly bid £13.3m to buy him now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's not breaking the financial structure of football, I don't know what is. (12m for Milner comes close, though) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ishmael Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Actually shaking my head at the Wise talk in this thread. Should just pass this off as a cheeky bid, which shouldn't have been made public. Moving on... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Someone just wants to gaffer tape Kinnear's mouth shut. Let the man with the charisma bypass do all the press conferences. That way he won't splurge so much shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc4eva Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Kinnear really is a right cock nose and we get to watch the twat make a fool of himself for a while yet woooooooooooooooooooo thank god I invested in the future and get the chance to watch our "brand" of football with a geriatric nicky fucking butt for the next three years.

The best bit is loads of people on this forum knew we'd not get close to him for £5m, so you have to wonder what Kinnear/Wise were thinking about. You never know. How many on this forum would have expected us to get £12m for Milner. I reckon most would have shipped him out for less than half. Very true. That's all I thought he was worth, I'd have snapped Villa's hands off for £8m. I still don't take the M'bia bid seriously though, if it was I don't think it would have been made public. PR stunt in my book. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spider Jerusalem Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 “We’ve made two serious efforts for decent money on players – two £4m offers. We made the bids yesterday, they’re considering it now. We’ll probably end up spending at the moment, unless anything else happens, £10m.” “I said to Mike I’d identified the two players and told him the price. Whatever there is from outgoing players will add to them. We’re hoping to find out on Thursday on the two players coming in. What price was that then Joe, as both of your serious offers were flat out rejected. Possibly made up (as well as your contract offer). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's true and if Joe really rates M'bia that highly I would expect us to make a serious effort to sign him, which will mean going back in putting in a higher offer than £5m.

On the transfer front, although Newcastle’s £5million bid for Cameroon midfielder Stephane Mbia hasbeen rebuffed by French club Rennes, Ashley continues to plan significant investment.
