Skirge Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 As much as I understand him wanting top flight football I still think even if we escape he will go, Ashley will cash in and Vassong won't complain about being sold. There is not much loyalty left in the game anymore.. We gave him him chance he was not even getting a kick before we took him in, are we really turning into a Wigan? players using us as a platform to get to bigger clubs.

matta Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 He got a pretty long way to go before he can get anything better than Newcastle. He has way to many errors, and he just cant keep his hands off other players. Not bothered if he leaves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NG32 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Bit of loyalty Seb, you were all set to play in Ligue 2 last year. Couple of half decent games and suddenly they think they are established prem stars. They need to stop reading player reviews off forums. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I seem to remember us being the only club sniffing around him. He's 23/24 would one season kill him, just pisses me off we aren't even relegated and he's talking about buggering off.

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Wenger will make a move. That's the rumour but have the media purely based it on the usual I.e. He's young and French? They said exactly the same about N'Zogbia and when the time came it was Wigan and not Wenger who were interested. I read that we'd be wanting £8m for Bassong. How often does Wenger ever pay that sort of money for young players? Hopefully we stay up and he won't leave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Mongo Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Ideally he'd stay, yeah. But it's pretty unrealistic to expect it though should an established Prem team come in for him. We should make a point of not getting relegated this Sunday, he'll probably stay then. why is it suddenly unrealistic to reject a bid? tell arsenal to beat it, he's not for sale? or whoever else it's how you work the player that matters, man-management - again people are acting like he's an established international for whom it would be unthinkable to play a division down, bollocks Reject a bid? Ashley? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put yourself in his position, could be a once in a lifetime thing. If he stays with us and we go down.....next season our squads still crap so overall we do average...he does alright but is let down by the rest of the defence etc you think Arsenal would still be after him ? Unlikely when you're only playing at that standard. Ofcourse hes gonna choose the likes of Arsenal over Newcastle, nothing to do with Loyalty. Its likely even Shearer would have done similar if we'd gone down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayson Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Yeah lets expect the guy to risk possibly the entire outcome of his career on us because we bought him.

madras Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 cant blame the lad. we nabbed him from metz cause they went down, so fully expect him to move on if we go down he's a fucking jonah. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowen Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 No surprise...but why even conduct that interview this week? What relevance does it have? Wait until what's happened has happened.

afar Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Athough I think he's had a good season and easily our player of the year. I'm not convinced yet that he is a great player as people on this thread have been suggesting. He's a promising youngster atm that still needs to work on his game. Being our best player this season is not exactly the most coverted honour considering how bad we've been. He gets too close too often, relies heavily on illegal contact with the player and has been fortunate this season to get away with a lot. I don't really see a team willing to part with the money we'll want for him 10m or so. The max I think anyone will pay is 5m, of course the Shay Given deal shows the club can easily get fleeced but if they hold out for their asking fee, he could well be playing championship football next season, whether he likes it or not.

SteveMc Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 All he says is that he'd have a talk with the club at the end of the season about his future (We already new this), that he doesn't fancy the Championship much (a given) and that he thinks Big Al is great. I can't see the big eal about this to be honest. He's said next to nowt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
