madras Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Random - BBC says Bendtner is in talk with an unnamed club. NUFC? Douglas - No The same Douglas who said that we wouldn't bring in Demba Ba? To be fair to him, I would imagine it's much easier to get answers to direct questions like 'are you in talks with Bendtner?' than stuff like 'who are you going to sign next?'. Is that not his point though? That he said we wouldn't sign someone we inevitably did. Of course depending how you read the Cabaye transfer he may be 'ITK' or such like. could be he wasn't told the whole truth, cabaye agreed so he was told, ba hadn't been agreed so the club cooled the info.

Dave Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Random - BBC says Bendtner is in talk with an unnamed club. NUFC? Douglas - No The same Douglas who said that we wouldn't bring in Demba Ba? To be fair to him, I would imagine it's much easier to get answers to direct questions like 'are you in talks with Bendtner?' than stuff like 'who are you going to sign next?'. "Are you looking at Demba Ba?" Not very difficult that either. It's known Bendtner is in talks with someone, if us it would be a fact. I can imagine whoever his source(s) is/are would be much more comfortable giving facts out about something happening in the current time than potential targets. It's the difference between revealing something out in the open and something they've only spoke about within the club. In any case I think all he said about Ba was 'Not a target from what I'm told.' and IIRC it was some time before we signed him. His information isn't flawless by any stretch of the imagination but it's certainly interesting to see what he says IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Mark Douglas will not give out any info that will affect our potential signings, especially for those in crucial stage. So if we did have talks with Bendtner, probably we are very closed to agreeing both the fees and the contract and the deal will wrap up very soon.

stlouismag Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 He's on holiday. Gotta say, I'm utterly mystified at football journos, and even more so at agents and club execs, who take vacation during the transfer window! It's not like it's a fucking secret when it is.

stlouismag Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Kids? School? Wife? Not so fucking difficult to understand tbh. My job pays the bills - if I have work commitments, I don't go on vacation regardless of what my wife and kids might think. If my livelihood was based on 10% of someone's contract, putting together a winning (or at least not-to-be-relegated) squad, or even breaking transfer stories to sell papers/generate web hits, I'd be on the clock 24/7 during the window. Maybe I'm just greedy or conscientious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 I'm guessing it's just better off for him to go on holiday now, wether it be financial or family related. I'd imagine he'd have been on holiday sooner if he could/would have been better off doing so etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the grand scheme of things, just how many solid stories are there to report during the transfer window - especially in early July? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
