TRon Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 So hypothetically we spend: 15m on Gervinho 12m on Gameiro 5m on Cabaye That's the 35m already spent, and the forward line seriously strengthened. With Abeid already signed it seems, I don't mind that being the cash outlay, with more coming in after some player sales (and a couple of freebies) provided they are not counter-productive sales. I doubt we'll be signing all three. If one of the bids comes off we'll probably reassess what we need. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 My worry with bringing in so many French is with grit and team spirit, 2 things which were crucial to our season and 2 things the French very much lack Aye, that'll be why the same French team won the World Cup and European Cup one after the other.

Zero Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 FM proof is a basic requirement for acceptable players. When you see a player is shit in FM, 99% he is shit in real life as well. Not the other way round though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our posters sure do get around. I live and play sport in France, so I think I am in quite a good position to be commenting tbh. Not particularly. It's dodgy inductive reasoning wherever you happen to be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baggio Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Btw it's amazing how emotions flip flop in the space of 48 hours. We've gone from selling Barton, Enrique and Nolan and replacing them with Darren Pratley, to the French press seeming confident we've put in offers for Cabaye, Gervinho, Gameiro and M'Bengue.

JH Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 The optimist in me says that if we can secure the first two/three, then we can convince Barton and Enrique to sign. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 The optimist in me says that if we can secure the first two/three, then we can convince Barton and Enrique to sign. Very much so. Get some quality early signings in, Cabaye and Gameiro are certainly in the right direction, and it's looking good again for their futures. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crumpy Gunt Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 I reckon a daft bid for Zamora would be the order of the day. I reckon £10/£12m could do the trick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
