jdckelly Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Is he on strike or is he being told he can't play? Never underestimate the utter twattishness of this regime. if he's not on strike he's not terribly upset at being portrayed as though he's on strike given his silence over the accusation Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest reefatoon Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Is he on strike or is he being told he can't play? Never underestimate the utter twattishness of this regime. If he was being told not to play, his agent would be out telling everyone. Why would he sit quiet and let the club say he is refusing to play if he isn't? He is just being a little huffy c*** as usual. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
henke Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Every car i've ever bought, the haggling over the price has taken no longer than 5 minutes. How come a footballer can take weeks to sell? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How come a footballer can take weeks to sell? well we are talking about millions here, for example a 10m gap between our asking price and arsenals bid, you might be there for a while if you opened your haggling at half the price on display Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
henke Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 If a car is marked up and £20,000 and you offer £10,000 you'll be laughed at and told to jog on. So one of two things happens, you find a different car for £10,000 or you come back with a serious offer. But it takes minutes, not weeks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is just being a little huffy c*** as usual. Club have asked him the sale will go through smoother if he keeps shtum? Could be a mutual agreement, between player and club - we don't know. Soon to be ex-players get called all sorts. Colo is no longer being called every name under the sun any more, I note. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest reefatoon Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 It's a game of brinksmanship. Arsenal let the deal lie for a while to see if the player kicks up a fuss and we agree to sell, we wlet the offer lie/refuse it, to see if they either up their offer or someone else comes in with more money. With being so close to the door absolutely slamming shut, it's a case of who holds their nerve the longest. (which will be us as we don't want to spend it anyway).

Worst analogy ever. Not really. You know before you enquire what you think the thing is worth, and what you're prepared to pay, which is exactly the same as the situation Arsenal are in.

I'd go along with that to an extent. But you'll also risk a bidding war and the price could rocket like it did with Carroll. If Arsenal had started at £10mil last sunday they could have thrashed a deal out and probably got Cabaye last sunday evening for £14mil. As it stands now they're quite likely to pay more or possibly lose him to PSG for an even higher fee. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parky Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 I honestly don't think they are that interested anymore...Won't pay anywhere near 20m. Deal is dead in the water. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikejaxer Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Fuck sake. Show some authority, fine him and make him play. He still has a contract, we're still paying him. Boo hoo if his head isn't in the right place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Do people honestly still give a shit? I'm almost relieved that I don't have the energy. Not really. If we sell him we'll get decent money and that might get spent on areas in more urgent need of strengthening. If we keep him, he'll sulk for a bit then get back to playing, if only for his world cup place in the summer. Really couldn't give a flying fuck about this one.

Geordie Ahmed Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 If he has refused to play why haven't we fined him? I think the article that said it's a mutual agreement between the club and player is spot on. He wants to join Arsenal BUT equally the club want to cash in on him so it suits both parties for him to remain unavailable Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
