NG32 Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Fantastic logic to offer less than they paid just after he's had a great season. Good job it's total bollocks or that would be really embarrassing... Just the kind of thing the people running OUR club at the minute would do.

Doctor Zaius Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 It's looking [retty obvious that we've lodged a bid then. However the intentions behind the bid remain to be seen. Until I see him in a Newcastle shirt, I think i'll assume this is none other than attempt to drive up a few season ticket sales. After all, if we were serious we wouldn't be bidding for their player of the season for less than what they paid for him. If this was a serious bid, it doesnt make sense, bidding 4.8M for a player that was signed for 8M. Fuck off man, as if that was ever going to be taken seriously. Looks like he doesn't want to move anyway http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11820_6239891,00.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably thought they could get a player they'd looked at on the cheap due to the clubs position and got told where to go. If this story isn't complete crap that is...

Sorry I was more referring to their league position last year and possible financial position. It's all guesswork at the end of the day, but I just personally would have thought if they were going to underbid for players as a smokescreen it would be for a player the majority of fans would have heard of (Michael Johnson etc).

quayside Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 It wouldn't surprise me if we are seriously bidding for players - it just probably means that a player or some players in our current squad are going to be sold. Even if the club really does mean the "no capital outlay" statement then, to me, that means a net spend of zero on buying/selling, it does not not mean that we won't buy anyone.

Teasy Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 There's little doubt any bid would be serious. Or can someone tell me the point of publicly playing down spending on players and then making fake bids to make it look like we will spend? (especially on players most fans have never heard of), that's schizophrenic behaviour. Or have I just identified Ashley's secret problem? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest je85 Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 I asked my French mate from uni who's a Monaco fan and keeps up to date with Ligue 1 about Erdinc, he replied "He's awesome! Can newcastle afford him? He is the reason Monaco are not in europe next year... (paris beat us in the french cup final).Definitely would be a great asset to Newcastle."

To me, that's even more sad. some things will always be the same though And then you have the likes of Skirge, who was angry that we didn't spend £3m on Beckford and roughly the same on Moses. Evidently, a club with a limited budget clearly needs to be spending a combined £6m on two attackers who are not/only proven at Championship level. If only we had such realistic and calculating fans in Ashley's seat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
