Tooj Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Bunch of nowt IMO. Based purely on the above, he clearly admires Arsenal (who wouldn't, exactly? every one of our players would go there) but says it's speculation based on the press knowing they need a striker and he's got a buyout clause, and that nothing is ongoing. Exactly. There's also no chance we'd replace him in this window either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cp40 Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 does he even fit the profile of an arsenal target? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parky Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 The buyout clause is a real pain. Street value is £20m Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenham Mag Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Sorry like but I don't appreciate our players talking about other clubs like that. He's now said stuff about PSG and Arsenal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Will wait for some context before I jump down his throat. Has he been asked about Arsenal specifically, or has he brought it up? Presumably a fuller interview to follow at some point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably a fuller interview to follow at some point. And this is the correct way to approach this. Press over here will have a field day about this tomorrow mind.

Guest hatem garrincha Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Saw the interview. He hasn't dismissed the possibility of a departure. Sound like his wish is to leave the club. Has also criticised Nufc long balls style of play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Sorry like but I don't appreciate our players talking about other clubs like that. He's now said stuff about PSG and Arsenal. And that's before you even look at it in context. Obviously playing in his favourite position at the expense of Cisse isn't enough. We'll most likely lose him on the last day of the window leaving us with no chance to replace him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Icke - Son of God Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 I literally couldn't give a shit. If he leaves, he leaves but I'm convinced we'll be a better side with Cisse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minhosa Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Sooner we move past him the better. Totally agree. If I was MA, I'd buy a top fwd this window and then knock his bargaining power right down. Either he stays or he goes, at this stage, I'd just wish he'd make his fucking mind up.

alexthegreat Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 He's 27 now and has never been on the really big money. He's also probably not going to be able to play on well into his 30s. He was one of the top scorers in the league last year and is up there again this year. He has come from Africa to play in Europe, and the next contract he signs could well be his last. If he is asking for £80k+ then that is understandable at this stage of his career IMO. He has shown himself to be a proven scorer at the top level, and when someone like Welbeck is on £70k-£80k then he is justified to ask why he shouldn't be as well. Someone will probably give him that, and I wouldn't particularly begrudge him it - for a free transfer you wouldn't be able to say he hadn't done well for us.

bowlingcrofty Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 If he goes its imperative he's replaced with a player who can play in 433. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
