ponsaelius Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 People need to accept that whoever we sign Nolan will start every game when fit next season if he's still here, and he will deserve his place for being a good player and a good leader. No player should be guarenteed to start every game, ever. Messi? Ronaldo? Eto'o? Pedantic little fuck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeletor Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 On KUMB (yes stupid name for a West Ham forum!) they're asking why they're not playing hard ball with us over Ba whilst we're refusing to sell them Nolan. Surely they know about his release clause? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 I don't think it's as simple as being able to sell Nolan now that we have Cabaye. Nolan's club captain, has a genuine feel for the club and has made a huge contribution in the last two seasons. Yes Cabaye is highly rated but then so was Christian Bassedas. There's no guarantee that Cabaye will settle and shine in the English league. I think it'll foolhardy to get rid of Nolan, a cornerstone of the team spirit at the club and nowhere near as bad as some of the hystericals like to make out. It all depends on if Nolan is happy to start the season on the bench and fight for his place without a contract extension. At the moment that's where he is at and he still has another two years to go on a very well paid salary. He might just sit it out and I would think the club will be ok with that, although I'm sure they'd prefer to get a decent fee. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 He'll not go to West Ham, like. Ignoring the stupidity of us actually considering a sale, they can't afford him. And from Nolan's view, why would he go there? Consider all the reasons to sell a player: he causes trouble, he's unhappy, high wages, amazing fee, contract running out, shit player etc. Nolan is none of these.

Taylor Swift Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 They've probably made that bid because they know that not a lot more will be needed to complete the deal. Clubs usually have a general idea of how much players are valued. WH wouldn't have made this bid if they knew they were very far off. The 'derisory' thing is just a negotiation tactic. I honestly wouldn't be surprised to see £3m-ish, maybe £3.5m straight be the deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexf Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 I still don't get why people think even if we were willing to sell that Nolan would drop down a league? He bossed the championship and got 12 goals last year in the prem. So even if we didnt want him they're are plenty of premiership teams that would probably still like him.

Disco Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 I still want to know where West Ham are getting this money from. Even if they sell their "stars" only Parker is liable to bring in over £5m IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 I think he'd be perfect at Stoke tbh and could easily play until 32-33 scoring 6-8 a season there just feeding off the scraps in the penalty box from set-pieces. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Nolan this year has shown that he starting to tire. However I still think he has 2 good years left in him, I'd like him to stay for the last 2 years of his contract then I would be happy to let him go for nothing. I would also be willing to listen to offers in the region of £3m next summer. As for now though he can still do a job here and I would suspect Nolan feels the same way, only then could I see him willing to drop down a level.

Dokko Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Those bothered about his goals and captaincy, would you be arsed to see him go if we replaced him with Marvin Martin while getting Barton to sign on for four years with him being offered captaincy?

It would be a gamble, what we do have to remember though is that we will have Ben Arfa and Gosling back. It all depends on how those two and Cabaye adapt.

Same on here, for the past few seasons he's been seen as a thorn in our side of sorts. I don't think we should sell, but the general willingness to let him go isn't a surprise to me.

Spot on, can't believe who desperate some people seem to be to get rid. Even before Cabaye came here it was put forward that to play they type of football to get us into the top 6 would be difficult with a player like Nolan in the side unless you favour the sort of football Stoke play. So for me I'm very happy that Cabaye has been signed. Nolan isn't a bench player so it comes down to how realistic it is to keep him as a squad player if Cabaye is a success. Yes it's a risk to sign Cabaye but would you prefer we didn't take it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
