Dave Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I hope the club continue to stay quiet and ignore the speculation. Press are desperate to stir things up. Have to disagree, the fans are obviously getting unsettled by all this talk. If Ba hasn't got a ridiculous clause the club should put the fans mind at rest and tell Harry/the press to go spend a night at Bramble's house. The fans are unsettled because of what the club has done in the past. When have we put in stupidly low release clauses? I thought this ownership was all about selling our players for as much as we could, not letting everyone else have a bargain at our expense? When have we previously signed a player on a free who has failed two medicals with a known knee problem? The club want to minimise financial risk if at all possible, in order to get Ba here (and therefore not need to spend any money up front) I've absolutely no doubt they accepted a number of compromises.

Ishmael Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I've just realized that Redknapp has never won a major domestic cup. So much hype for someone who will always end-up several yards short of the finish line. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 We didn't seem to have a great deal of competition. Not sure how a low release clause would benefit Ba more than wages he would get signing for someone on a free Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexf Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Why does this s*** keep happening to us . Why can't we just keep a good inform striker for once. Remember that chap we managed to keep hold of for long enough to become our record goalscorer? Big Al was abit of an exception like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dinotheprehistoricgeordie Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 This is the thing with modern football, you can't get too attached to any player because the majority of them don't want to be at their respective clubs. Wouldn't be surprised to see Ba, Tiote and Colo gone by the end of this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 If there's a release clause and the player is interested in leaving, then his agent will have circulatated the news anyway. Redknapp is out of order in making a drama out of the situation, but I don't think anything has changed from the practical point of view. With Ba at the African Nations Cup, I can't see him leaving in January. A departure in the summer looks quite possible though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
80 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Just got hilarious images in my head of Llambias stumbling around a busy Bata city centre in shorts and t-shirt, sweating his balls off, clutching a map trying to find the Senegal team hotel, proper Englishman abroad. Cockney yid in a canoe, paddling up the Limpopo. Wait till he finds out he's several thousand miles in the wrong direction, oy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sifu Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Surely NUFC have reported him by now. I'm not one wishing for bad things to happen to other people, but if he happened to accidentally trip in the kitchen and cheese grate hiss face off, I wouldn't shed a tear. Hopefully.

Dave Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 We didn't seem to have a great deal of competition. Not sure how a low release clause would benefit Ba more than wages he would get signing for someone on a free Look how much we demanded for Carroll. A clause like this gives him all the power if he does the business, which he has. Gives him pick of the best clubs, without having to hope one of them stumps up what we're asking. Oh, and irrespective of his fitness and form up to now I still don't think we'd be willing to give him an enhanced, 'normal' contract as we did with Tiote. Too much risk. Meh, I'm not bothered. Think he'll stay this month and be gone in the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
