mrmojorisin75 Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 voted for the septics, whoever they may be, as i'd like to believe a yank businessman would have enough about him to not sabotage his own investment to the brink of oblivion malaysians reminds me of dodgy betting on games, rather steer well clear of them - that'd just take the fucking cake that wouldn't it? to be a vehicle for illegal asian betting Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Because we knew City would reject the bid. We had been negotiating with them concerning Given. Newcastle knew they had no chance of landing Johnson and it was only a smokescreen to show they were trying to do something. Just as the Richardson bid was. They knew Sunderland would never accept, but at least they were trying eh? That last day of the transfer window was a joke and the club tried to pull the wool over our eyes that they were making an effort to get players in. When in reality they didn't want to do anything other than make a profit, then prey that it would be enough to keep us up. Kinnear knew this as well. Yes man though. saved me the effort, nail on head all clubs bid what they think for players and if the selling clubs want too much they pull out........however from the time of the rooney bid, if we don't actually sign the player then it was all just to con the supporters. the Rooney bid was genuine, and he would have been a Newcastle player had Man U not bid higher, Rooney himself alludes to this. The fact we sold Given the day before to Man city, the fact that Man city were never going to sell him, or anyone for that matter. Earlier that day they'd basically said that they weren't going to sell any of their squad. It was all nonsense, surely Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Spaceman Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Even though two bids over the magic £100m have been made, is this still going to take months to complete? I predict we'll sign Brett Emerton before any takeover is finalised. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ujpest doza Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 MOst places (ie) Talkshite are reporting that these bids are meeting the asking price and away we go. Are we being TOO negative here? They're all working on the assumption that Llambias is telling the truth, does anybody actually believe the lying bastard? My take on it is there have been no bids made, and there are unlikely to be at the price the fat idiot is asking. Yip, which is why FFS is supremely confident of taking over with a bid of £60M plus the OD. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Wally_McFool Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Just as well we didn't sign Michael Johnson.

Weren't we making noises about signing M'bia and Veloso all through the window before finally ringing City and the Mackems with those last minute panic bids? The whole exercise was a joke which was only made worse by Kinnear shouting for months beforehand how he was going to hit the January window with mike's backing. it was bollocks from start to finish and the sooner these clowns are out of here the better.
