LucaAltieri Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 If we are still looking at a loan deal it will be a deadline day thing I reckon OM will drag it out hoping we buy him. It's gone far too quiet, I think something has been said which has calmed everything down. Our club's "shut the fuck up" transfer policy? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeordieDazzler Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Quite a few of the French sites carrying the Huntelaar swap story, but most of them are just regurgitating the story from the Corriere dello Sport. I remember earlier in this whole saga when AC were linked I checked a Milan forum and they treated Corriere dello Sport with about as much respect as we would tribal football, so hopefully its a load of shit. Hopefully. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest taps01 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 French press now running with the Beb Arfa - Hunteraar swap deal. I think they are just reporting what was in the italian press yesterday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Would not shock me if OM did the swap, I think they would be very happy to fl us over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest taps01 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Would not shock me if OM did the swap, I think they would be very happy to fl us over. Agreed. Also im sure they were heavily linked with Huntelaar last summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 You'd think with Milan getting Prince Boateng it'd decrease their need for King Arfa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 but i thought HBA was only interested in coming to us? they'd still not be able to force him to go to milan, unless he's so desperate to go he now doesn't really care where Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Just had a look at L'Equipe's front page, and although my French is pretty bad, I think it says that OM are going to go for Gignac instead of Fabiano. Not that it really matters Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 I think if they say you can leave yes but not to Newcastle we will let you go to Milan he won't argue with that. I guess its a case of if Milan really want him and what money will be involved cannot see a straight swap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mistle17 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 I just can't believe how utterly slow we are with this. Its snails speed. If we wanted him badly, surely we would look to meet OM officials ASAP and look to come to some sort of an agreement with 24 hours. It can't be that hard- despite Marsaille being pricks about it.

Wullie Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 To put our penny pinching further into perspective, Liverpool, in vast debt that far exceeds ours, just paid nearly 3m for a keeper that couldn't cut it in the Championship. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieDazzler Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Apparently (according to the OM forums) this was in L'Equipe this morning: The second attacker waited by OM happen it probably until next week . Yesterday , 18 hours, Marseille have started preparations for the reception of Lorient on Saturday . A game where "the three points are very important , " said Deschamps. For the third straight time , Hatem Ben Arfa dried training. The striker did not reappear at the training center Robert Louis - Dreyfus since his quarrel with Dassier last Thursday . It is more than ever decided to join Newcastle. Within forty- eight hours, his English dream could take shape . The OM has resumed contact with the leaders of the Magpies to ask them to reconsider their offer. This cons -proposal focuses on several details , including how the purchase option . Nothing insurmountable , then . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
