Guest Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 I still think we'll have a "sensational £20m bid for Andrew Carroll rejected" with about 2 hours to go... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wil Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 It is the Mail, but... Newcastle closing in on £10m Cisse deal as Maiga deal hits a snag By Sportsmail Reporter Last updated at 11:34 PM on 30th August 2011 Newcastle are trying to tie up a £10million move for Freiburg's Papiss Cisse. Manager Alan Pardew switched his attention to the Senegal striker after being held up in his bid to sign Sochaux's Modibo Maiga, with the French club insisting on finding a replacement before they allow the Mali international to leave. Cisse, 26, had been a target for Sunderland until they concentrated their efforts on Spurs' Peter Crouch. Newcastle fans are desperate to see a top striker in their No 9 shirt and Cisse seems the ideal candidate with 31 goals in 52 games in Germany. Should the deal hit problems, Pardew has lined up a £5m move for Marvin Ogunjimi. The Genk forward has also interested Fulham, but they were last night closing on a loan deal for Marseille's Andre Pierre Gignac and a £12.5m deal for FC Twente's Bryan Ruiz.

Cajun Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 That article is already out of date, Sochaux have signed a replacement and the "£10m bid" has already been rejected Good effort. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Wasn't our earlier bid 10 million euros? Therefore, a bid of £10m would be about 12-13 million euros i.e. the mooted asking price? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 £10m is just over 11m Euros these days, I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Brest claimed there had been "no proposal" and it slowly died a death. A few of the local journalists and such later claimed that we felt it was "too soon" for him to make the move here. Not sure if it's even a contingency plan now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 £10m is just over 11m Euros these days, I think. I was basing my calculations on Santon being 6 million euros, or £5m - doubling both amounts. Either way, we're seemingly very close to hitting the asking price.

Pardew said later on that we were quoted a price and said we wouldn't pay it, so a bid was never even put in. It was SSN that claimed we bid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Snrub Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Would so much rather Cisse than any of the Ligue 1 lads we're supposedly interested in. What a signing that would be. Not that I'm even 1% confident it could happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
