Be careful what you wish for. We could have a Vincent Tan just as easily as we could get a Sheikh Mansour. I know, but would rather at this stage roll those dice, things at this football club are just so meh right now, we need someone capable of creating a bit of excitement once again,. I totally envy the PSG fan and before him the Man Shitty and Chelsea fans, these owners have taken their dreams for their clubs and made them reality, and we have are far bigger base than all these sides had prior to their takeovers, why can't it happen to us ? And the example with Tan, is kind of two edged, yeah the bloke is mad and I wouldn't want him near our club, but he's taken Cardiff and made them relevant got them into the PL. It's relative success. Unfortunately it's a money oriented business and it's just our sodding luck to have one the the riches people in the UK own us but runs us in the most financially prudent way imaginable because that';s what he gets his kicks from. Unlike other Billionaires that are in this for the fun and prestige. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Really hope that £16m fee isn't true. Be an insult if he leaves for that little. Not because I think for one second it would get spent on a replacement but just thinking about some of the dross that has gone for more in this league alone makes a fee that low for someone of Cabaye's quality a joke.

I know for us it's irrelevant as they won't reinvest and we don't get to watch him play for us anymore. But if it was a crazy offer you could sort of understand them letting him go. But to take our possible best and most influential player out of the team for a measly £16m feels a bit like, why? I mean surely if they aren't offering silly money then you hold on to him and if he has a good end to the season/world cup then surely a Man U or someone would stump up far more than that.

My own gut feeling is that the £16.5m figure is being put about to try and convince the likes of Lyon and Montpelier that we haven't received silly money. It does seem rather bizarre it was being reported as substantially more than £14m last night and now it's done to 20m Euros. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ujpest doza Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 What would we have thought if we hadn't been part of the Keegan generation? ERRR to be fair mind KK sold Andy Cole for a song. £6M + Keith Gillespie (when he could have had his pick of Fergies Fledglings) was a steal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Do you think Cabaye got the skill to play with Motta and Verratti ? and Ibrahimovic/Cavani want some good balls in their feet or when they moving. Cabaye in France isn't considered as "a top player", a good player but not a top one.... that's why i ask. Fuck off PSG founded in the 70s. Shit club. Worst fans in Ligue 1. Allez l'OM.

I know for us it's irrelevant as they won't reinvest and we don't get to watch him play for us anymore. Of course it matters what we get for transfers, since we got back into the Premier League we've sold players for around £59m and spent around £60m (considering not all fees are exact its likely we've spent basically exactly whats come in for transfers). I'm not saying that's good, but it tells a very obvious story about how much the transfer fees we bring in effect what we're prepared to spend.
