Yohan Cabaye retires


Optimistic Nut

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.

 

Exactly why our policy of not getting a replacement in first is fucking mental. And why the thick cunts running the club cant see it is beyond logic.

because the club isn't run on football terms but business terms its as simple as that.

 

How does that work when the price of player we want to buy is pushed up because they know we have lots of money.

 

Of course, we just dont bother with the buying bit :lol:

We just have to target the right club, I joked about him earlier but Derby are pretty fucked right and Hughes is fairly highly rated in the game?

 

Some clubs can be fussy when it comes to money when they know you have just got a load of cash but if a starving man sees you have a bag full of burgers he would still accept one rather than moan you could give him three :dontknow:

 

Derby are fine, my outside bet to get promotion via the play-offs.  They'll only sell if they don't get promoted in the summer.

We have no excuses for not bringing anyone in, we have the money and while 4 days doesn't seem long. In a transfer window it fucking ages.

 

This will simply be down to whether we want to buy, or even bother to try.

Tbh, it's utterly pointless talking about what we 'should' be doing, regarding transfers in. Our recruitment policy has its moments but it's also immovably rigid and, on top of that, the important people don't actually give a shit about the fortunes of the team. Ashley would laugh at us hypothesising about ideas and strategy; "maybe we could do this, we should be doing that, etc".

We should have some surplus TV money as well.

 

The fact we are selling before we buy is a joke

imagine if we got something insane like £40m

 

Imagine if Adriana Lima knocked on my door and wanted to play Gran Turismo.

 

If she did, would you let her win?

 

Nah i would close the door as i don't have that game.

If its anything under £20m and they haven't got significant addons in their they've totally lost the plot.  Well over two years on his contract and a world cup coming up, don't see why £25m is unreasonable.

 

 

Anything close to £20m is a pretty good deal really. Another season in a Pardew team and he would have been worth less than £10m. We should thank our lucky stars PSG have suddenly come into money because no English club would have spent anywhere close to that because he's not really built for English football.

£19m. Fucking brilliant business with 4 days left.

It's fucking pathetic. Nowhere near an offer that's "simply too good to turn down". None of the other clubs in the top ten would have sold Cabaye for that amount.

Shay Given aside, we've generally done well at holding out for hefty prices. With a business hat on; selling Cabaye for £20m means we've made back five times what we paid. That's why we'll have accepted at this point, instead of holding out for more.

Something of an understatement there, seeing as we've spent precisely nil.
