STM Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 I cant see this management ever agreeing to buy someone back for more than they sold him for. Exactly, can't see it happening. On the other hand didn't we bid for him in January? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Actually funny that when that "bid" was made, I think the first few pages were people saying not what we need when we've sold a striker, yet I reckon we'd have finished 8th if we'd had him.

Nope, but that was because we extracted a stupid fee from Villa for him. This transfer was different. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Geordiesned Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Luke Edwards (Journal reporter): For those asking abt N'Zogbia both #safc & #nufc reluctant to match £60,000-a-week wage demands let alone fee of between £12-9m #stalemate Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest taps01 Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 With all our links to wingers I still believe that we are going to sign one but it doesnt look like it will be Charles or Barnetta. Who else have we been linked to who plays this position? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's this thread. The first few pages are people laughing at our sheer stupidity. Yep. Plus.... Jesus, 10m. Glad it got rejected tbh. No, just f***ing no. nah, no thanks. he's a good player but with all his issues and attitude and history him and nufc are not compatible. Are we collecting left-sided midfielders like? What a farce. FUUUUUCCCKKKK, we've sold our big f***er of a forward who was our main goal outlet. Let's buy a little moody French winger ...etc. with the odd one hoping he came.

STM Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 I'm sure alot of that was said in anger after Carroll's sale. Hardly news that this forum is knee-jerk at times (most of the time). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 My problem at the time was that it seemed a desperate random panic buy, also I was pissed off at Carroll going. If we're still interested in him and we can get him at a decent price I would be happy to have him here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggio Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Actually funny that when that "bid" was made, I think the first few pages were people saying not what we need when we've sold a striker, yet I reckon we'd have finished 8th if we'd had him. It's this thread. The first few pages are people laughing at our sheer stupidity. In what way? He left because he wanted too and went from being the talented but inconsistent kid into one of the best wingers in the division. Do you think Man Utd would be stupid if they attempted to sign Pique back for a few million more than they sold him for? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 when villa make a bid, hopefully thatll force us to make a move. if we fail to buy zoggy, we've fucked it up big time! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Maybe he's not keen on Sunderland so £65k is what he'd want to play for them? Maybe he would come into our wage structure of £50-55k if we wanted him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 when villa make a bid, hopefully thatll force us to make a move. if we fail to buy zoggy, we've f***ed it up big time! Even if the reported £12million fee and 65k wages are true? I'd be tempted to look elsewhere for that price like. It won't be that price though. I doubt it will even be as high as the £9m that they are asking from CL clubs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisjraby Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 It's all well and good saying that we're put off by the fee and wages, but if we WERE in for Gervinho, he would've probably cost the same if not more. For me, N'Zogbia would always have been a better choice than Gervinho, and if we were interested in him for that money then there's no reason we shouldn't spend the same on N'Zogbia. I agree with keeping the salary cap in place for some first teamers and the squad players, but to get the players that are going to take your team to the next level, you're going to have to be willing to break that cap (Ben Arfa, Tiote, Coloccini)! I don't necessarily agree that N'Zogbia deserves that sort of money, but even negotiating him down a little bit puts him on par with salaries we've just cut like Nolan, Campbell and other potential departures (Smith, fingers crossed), surely it's not beyond us to work out a deal if we are genuinely interested?

Even if the reported £12million fee and 65k wages are true? I'd be tempted to look elsewhere for that price like. Why? We already offered £12m in January and if he signed I always expected him to be on about £55k-£60k. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
