biggs Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Seriously, if we sign Bendter you're allowed to ban me for a month! I'll be so p*ssed that I should not be allowed to post on this forum Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Geordie Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Promising news if the report that we tried to get Gervinho last minute is true. How? Up there with the 'moves' for Kieran Richardson and N'Zogbia. Ashley/Llambias will have fed a line to the media to try and curry favour with fans.

Ah yes, the Mike Ashley PR machine whirring away again. Somehow simultaneously manipulates the media to a never-before-seen degree and ends up looking incredibly bad with the public in the process. It's a whole new approach to public relations. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't around these boards back then so I don't know what the situation was. Nevertheless I maintain that the idea that the Arshavin/Modric/Richardson()/N'Zogbia/Gameiro/Gervinho bids were "fake bids" to appease the public is mind-numbingly ridiculous.

sugoinufc Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Bendtner would be good for us, but £12m feels like slightly too much for him given his recent lack of form. Regardless of how much that is to do with a lack of regular football and Wenger insisting on sticking him out on the wing. He will come good as soon as he becomes the main man for a team. looks like he will go to Fulham or Villa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayson Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Theyd tell tell the English media anyway, not the french if that was their aim. Gone to Arsenal for around 11m reportedly. If we were up for competing with that it would indicate that we may still be willing to spend a decent sum of money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Geordie Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 As Madras said - it's not the first time we have been used as a stalking horse when it comes to another transfer. And also - do you believe those deadline day moves of Richardson and Charlie were genuine and if not, what was their purpose? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not some sort of Anti-Ashley doom monger, but the Richardson, Michael Johnson and N'Zogbia bids we're all highly suspicious, and in my opinion clear PR moves. Especialy when you watched Sky Sports News all day. So glad the former 2 did not come off for the reported £8m each. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
