Denied or what?

Harry Redknapp has dismissed reports he has bid 10mil for Sebastian Bassong

 

NUFC Officials

 

We have rejected a bid of 10mil from spurs

Battle of the liars.

 

They've probably bid £5m and we've accepted it.

I'm sure it went:

 

Harry Redknapp: I can not talk about players I'd like to sign as that would be wrong, but I'd really like to sign Bassong and I know he's desperate to join us.

"It is not true. Not since I have been here today," he said.

 

"He is a player that I was interested in. I like Bassong, he is a young player with a good future and a good central defender.

 

"I don't think we have made an offer as far as I know. I am sure the chairman has not made an offer."

HAH. Get some new lines droopy.

I'd want £15m at the very minimum, with clauses inserted to bring the deal up to £20m or more if he does well.

 

He's not worth that, but this is a young centreback (22 compared with e.g. Lescott who's 26, or Haageland who's 28) with everything in his locker to be an excellent defender at the higher levels, having just had a good debut season in the Premiership. The two positions that all good teams are always reluctant to sell their players in are the goalkeeping positions and centreback positions, and the price needs to reflect this, as opposed to reflecting our bitterness at being relegated. We know first hand how difficult it can be to find a good, Premiership calibre centreback with intelligence, composure and physique in his game, at a good age with suitable top flight experience, and a reliable fitness record. So take the suitors to the cleaners if they want him.

 

£15m. :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

Come off it.

It's insanity. He's not even worth ten. 22 year old who's been relegated three times. While perofrmed really well, there were still very obvious flaws in his game. He made alot of mistakes on is own as well. How many central defenders have gone for 20 million pounds in the history of football? Can't be many.

That must go down as denial of the century.

Of course he's not worth that much. But neither are plenty of players going for ridiculous fees nowadays.

 

Point is that we should be asking for a ridiculous fee, because given his age, physique and performance levels in the Premiership, that would be the going rate for someone of that calibre/potential. How much did Curtis Davis go for when he was with West Brom? £8m? £10m? I know he's English and hence there's an inflated price, but he never at any staged looked anywhere near as good as Bassong imo.

I wouldn't accept any less than £12m plus a player in todays market

 

NUFC are not in position to hold out for an inflated fee for him.  If there has been a bid £10m it should of been accepted..

This owner, no. We don't know what's going on behind the scenes though.

So its true then. About 2 days before he signed Crouch he was telling the world that because of the high salary and lack of chance of a sell on fee, it was highly unlikely that they would be signing him.

He really is a predictable and detestable cunt at times  :harry:

I hate Redknapp with a passion.

 

Although I have no doubt that had we appointed him that January 08 we'd be nowhere near this position.

Why's that then?, because we have to get his £5,000 a week off the wage bill ???  There's no reason for us to be desperate to sell a player like Bassong.

I wonder which club will he relegate next..

 

Eh?

 

I think he's being daft referring to how Metz & Newcastle have went down with him in the side.

Agreed, attitudes like this are quite unbelievable. Here we are with the whole country marvelling at the factthat Lescott is "worth" 20mill and someone wants the same for Bassong. :frantic:

If Bassong ever demonstrates that he is a "Premiership calibre centreback with intelligence, composure and physique in his game, at a good age with suitable top flight experience" then I'm quite sure ManU, Chelsea, Liverpool will be offering 30mill for his services .

I sometimes wonder if some posters here have ever actually watched the game?
