WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I sold him to Benfica on FIFA for £23m. Even I'm better at negotiating a fee on a measly computer game. And I replaced him with Paul Pogba for £15m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0cafella Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I bet the papers get wind of us targetting players, PR bullshit will be in overdrive to palm us off.

Yorkie Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 It doesn't matter what we got. We'll not spend anywhere near £14m on his replacement nevermind £19m, £25m, etc. You keep saying this, but whatever we spend on the direct replacement the amount we get certainly does matter for future transfers. Carroll's sale saved us from having to actually invest in the squad for the next couple of years. I suspect this will have a similar outcome. This sale will take our profit on transfer fees - since Ashley took over - to something around £40m iirc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 It was £22.35m btw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 No excuses now to not fetch in a replacement. Sad to see him go, but why should he stay when the club has no ambition? Ashley wins again - more profit and the club safe from relegation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teasy Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Not sure why we'd make the fee sound higher than it is if we don't want to spend much, what would be the point? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jericho Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 It’s shame that shit club like PSG is now big club, because they have a lot of money. It's the same with Chelsea and Man City. Football is very sick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willow Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I've been expecting this for ages now and tbh, I'd be happy with either Grenier/Cabella coming in, it's all down to how much they charge though. Cabaye will be incredibly difficult to replace, we all know that, as he's been probably our star performer this season. I'm just so apathetic right now, I'd rather move on, be glad he's not joining another rival PL club and look ahead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Everyone knows we've got loads of money now, no idea why this would make it more likely that we'll spend in the next few days. It's the total opposite IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 £20m is not his value like. 10 years ago maybe, not now. Much nearer £30m for a player of his quality and versatility. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the total opposite IMO. Given the inevitability of Cabaye's sale, if we were sensible we'd have a 'gentleman's agreement' with another club, and Mr X would be through the door sharpish. "Look, we're probably gonna get ~£20m off PSG in the next few days - when that happens, we'll give you £? for him." No haggling needed. We have every means of signing a replacement this window so, if we don't, we'll know that it was never planned to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
