Guest Roger Kint Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 All i'm saying is that, i wouldn't be surprised to see a handful of the regulars not give half a s*** about staying after the events of the last day or two. We've made our money back on the captain, talisman and (you would assume) friend of a lot of the players at the first chance we've got. Contracts aside. I'm entering doom-mongering territory there, and i still think there's a chance that at least Barton and Jonas would stick around, but if Nolan can leave - then no departure can surprise me. Were you banking on Barton staying here beyond his contract and playing for free as i cant see another being offered now? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you live under a stone you would know Barton has said plenty of times he will see it out, even today he said the only way he will leave early is for a Champions League team. Any talk of him 'staying' would therefore mean after his contract would you not agree? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElDiablo Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I swear Pardew made comments about wanting Tiote to get forward a bit more when possible? Matuidi could be used to sit and allow Tiote and Cabaye to push further forward. Regardless, Matuidi and Tiote in midfield would be like a fucking iron curtain.

Matuidi could be used to sit and allow Tiote and Cabaye to push further forward. Regardless, Matuidi and Tiote in midfield would be like a f***ing iron curtain. From what i've seen of Matuidi I think he has more potential to play more offensive than Tiote. Some accounts I have received have said he has even played left wing before. A midfield 3 of Matuidi, Tiote and Cabaye with Barton and Gosling as back ups is sooo fapworthy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a different person, but Alan Pardew went on how he wanted Carroll to stay for all of Jan, he went on and on, and then boom, he went. It's still Ashley/Llambias in charge, and just like Yorkie said, no departure can surprise anyone, not with this board anyway and especially regarding players on high wages. But aye, i agree.

johnnypd Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 we should be going for the likes of Shaqiri, or someone like Sigurdsson to replace Nolan - i thought we'd be making bids for, or at the least linked with, the best young players in europe this summer, but it's not happened as yet.

No matter what anyone tells you you cant force a player to sign a contract at another club. If Barton wants to see it out he will, he wont move just because Ashley accepts an offer.

Sigurdsson is good but not one of the best in Europe, Shaqiri will cost upwards of £15 million and will go to a top club. We're going for talented players at the right age, I don't understand your complaints. We tried for Gameiro and Gervinho? Are these players not good enough either? Edit: Are you forgetting Cabaye too? I'd rather him than Sigurdsson, especially considering their respective prices. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Swift Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 we should be going for the likes of Shaqiri, or someone like Sigurdsson to replace Nolan - i thought we'd be making bids for, or at the least linked with, the best young players in europe this summer, but it's not happened as yet. I think that will be next summer if we're able to get into the top 8. I reckon the club will make a profit this year way in excess of £35m (the Carroll money will be bonus) and we should be profitable again next year if we end up in the top 10 because our wage bill will be lower than this year's + expected increase in attendance if we have a reasonably fun team to watch. And hopefully that profit will be used to invest in young players next summer to increase squad depth and push us on to Spurs/Liverpool/Everton level.

I don't think there is going to be a "next summer" where we spend big again. this is it. get it right. i dont have a problem with opportunity signings like Ba on a free as long as it lets us use the money saved attracting better players.

taxfree Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Regarding Stephen Warnock - "Surely he can't be the possible replacement for Enrique?" Douglas - He's a long standing target. Jose hasn't gone yet.... Urgh, seriously... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jose hasn't gone yet.... Urgh, seriously... awful, awful player these days. thankfully i don't think the club would sanction the wages that these kinds of washed up non-entities - warnock, joe cole, matthew upson, robbie keane, stephen ireland - would command.

Attract how? Most of them will be chased by CL clubs and the only way o attract them is to pay more than they would get at those clubs. We've been down that route before.

Parsley Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Not sure whether you can class two French internationals and a starter for a Champions League team in Leverkusen as mid-table quality like. IMO they're exactly the sort of player we should be looking at - a significant improvement on what we have as well as being attainable and realistic at the same time.

Villa is a strange club for full-backs. 3 years later and he looked finished. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
