David28 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 @PeteGravesSky #cfc will have discovered what many knew already. The 7.5m buyout clause is merely the tip of the iceBArg. #nufc @CaulkinTheTimes: Ba isn't bargain he appears: £7.5m fee + agent fees + 80k weekly + 4yr deal (what he has asked from #Nufc) & unlikely to pass medical. :lol: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki679 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Jesus, why are his representatives being utter c***s about the whole thing? http://revivalofislam.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/istockphoto_1166269_money_grabber.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStar Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Well if Chelsea aren't willing to pay what he wants and QPR are beneath him it looks like he may have to start lowering his expectations. And with us not needing to pay 7.5m and agents fees, we could probably afford a better deal for him than most mid table clubs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Maybe he wanted a guarantee that he'd be playing down the middle instead of Torres. That might not be a joke. Hmm... If even Chelsea can't strike a deal, we're lumbered with him. And that's the way I feel now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sima Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 This is like on FM where the agent asks for the deal to be put together before talks can commence First Team (lock) 80K a week (lock) 3 year contract (lock) £2.5m agent fees (lock) £2m loyalty bonus (lock) "We are way off in our negotiations and I see no reason for talks to proceed" :yao: :yao: :yao: :yao: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 This is what I was telling people would happen all summer. A 7.5 million transfer will cost the buyer at least 20 million because of agent and insurance fees. A bargain suddenly looks a serious risky punt. This is why he has clauses in his contract, but ultimately is only good value on a free. He is a great player, but a mercenary one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStar Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 @CaulkinTheTimes To repeat, as of y'day no club had met £7.5m get-out clause, but same happened in summer: Ba touted everywhere without #nufc knowledge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Confirmed my suspicions about Ba. Remember this time two years ago? Walking the streets of london and stoke looking for a job. Sooner this is over, the better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest andrew Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Can't imagine our lot reacting well to him at Everton or the foreseeable future! Although I think he's great he does appear to be a poison on the club- constant speculation, mercenary goals and agents/reps who will stop at nothing to get another pay day. Might be a shame if he doesnt end up leaving. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ste Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Surely if he's being touted around and talking to other clubs without our permission, we have reason to make a complaint against his agents? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JS Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 As long as he's scoring goals for us I'm not arsed what he or his agents do, to be honest Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
binnsy Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Greedy f***ing whore Don't want him back Bridges burned eh nothing has changed since the summer, his agents have been whoring all over Europe but he's still performing and scoring on the pitch. If he's still a NUFC player then play him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

merlin Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Frankly disappointing and a worry....if Chelsea won't do the deal, who will ? Hard to see this being resolved to anyone's satisfaction if his agents etc don't trim their cut drastically because the insurance is always going to be high in his case. Main problem for NUFC is if he starts sulking because nothing happens and then we have an unhappy and unproductive player on our hands. So far,he has not let his wish to move affect his game too much but that could change. In any event we would have to wait until his contract ends to replace him because we have more pressing needs in defence and Ashley won't spend on forwards unless they are priced competitively if he isn't getting money from the Ba transfer.

Stottie Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 It sounds like our marriage of convenience is set to continue. I just hope he's not been picking the team or formation, or has some last chance suitor lined up in China or Turkey or somewhere to be revealed at 9pm on Jan 31st. Fwiw, I think he's a more useful player than Sturridge, who won't be cheap either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troll Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 I doubt he's even had talks with Chelsea, this is just his agents throwing out names to drum up interest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
