KaKa Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 I believe we were never in for him. It's been a ghost chase and nout more to placate the supporters. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStar Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Look, we can't afford to pretend to bid for marquee signings any more. You forget we have to pretend we're going to have to pay agent fees and wages as well, it all has to be factored in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Bit of a shit placating tool, based on the reaction from here at least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Was going to say. Guessing the Gameiro & Gervinho bids were too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingxlnc Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 I think they've spent the money on machines that spit out fines. Like Demolition Man. 'Joey Barton, you are fined five credits for repeated violations of the verbal morality statute.' Imagine if Barton really did confront one of those machines, there'd just be a constant ream of paper At least he wouldn't have to use the 3 seashells Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 I believe we were never in for him. It's been a ghost chase and nout more to placate the supporters. It's a bit like Ashley's mythical PR machine and control of the media. All he does is use this power and control to make everyone hate him - not the traditional approach to public relations.

Unbelievable Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Supposedly talks ongoing between PSG & Rennes about an €8m transfer. Guess we'll see if we were really in for him.. We'd certainly try again now he is prepared to leave? Hope it's not Zog MkII Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Maybe he's one of those players who's happy at the level he's at and would prefer staying in France? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Maybe he's one of those players who's happy at the level he's at and would prefer staying in France? You mean, some players don't want to swap Paris for Newcastle They might even want to stay in continental Europe where they're used to the language and culture instead of re-starting their life in the North East Blasphemer.

UV Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Thank goodness we do our homework now and don't spend months chasing players like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Thank goodness we do our homework now and don't spend months chasing players like that. If the rules state that you can't discuss terms with a player until you've got permission from his club, how do you suggest we negate that hurdle?

Dr Venkman Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Maybe he's one of those players who's happy at the level he's at and would prefer staying in France? with the exception of staying in France he sounds absolutely perfect for NUFC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 How do you guys know he wants to stay in France so certainly? Working on the basis that he was offered the chance to come to the North East and play in the Premiership ("World's Best League"-TM) and is still at PSG.
