Didn't we already distance ourselves from Gardner or was that just Douglas saying it on Twitter? Edit - just noticed it's 2 days old, forget it!

I do seem to remember him ruling out Ba as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Barnetta looks pretty quick and direct and he's got a decent strike on him by the looks of it. With either foot as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Was wondering who the fuck Goosen is because the last 3 or 4 headlines on Google News France are "Newcastle sign Goosen", but he's just an egg-chaser. Bastard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gdm Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 It's possible that Ba wasn't in the list of striker targets and when he became available we saw him as an upgrade to best for free while still getting £4m in for Best? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Depends on how highly we rate him. If we rate him that well we'll pay it, if not, we won't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggio Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Just because he's got a buy out clause doesn't mean that's what we'll end up paying for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colocho Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Their President also said they wouldn't listen to offers under £13.2m. No chance of us paying that much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Their President also said they wouldn't listen to offers under £13.2m. No chance of us paying that much. You reckon? One of the reasons he's probably been earmarked is down to this clause. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BottledDog Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 What's with the Chronicle today? One non story on Nile to Millwall but they have no intention of actually paying for him, and a piece on our game v Rantwerp. I'm sure they must be holding back on an enormous and explosive transfer story today. Suuuuurely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Wonder if we'll make an old-fashioned, outright purchase this summer. For a player we want in a position we need, that isn't in the last year of his contract or available on the cheap for some reason. Before all the 'yeah but who cares as long as they're good enough' merchants pile in, I agree. Just wondering, and if it will restrict our choices despite the funds we have available.

So you agree it doesn't matter but you wanted to make a big deal about it anyway? This is on par with you not rating Best but having a moan about him being sold.
