James Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Realistically we should be happy with either as both are international level players. It's now just a case of where Ashley wants to put his investment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 The offers were accepted. The players turned us down. (Gameiro/Gervinho, at least). You'd have thought we'd have checked that bit out first. Who says we didnt like? Seems pretty reasonable to assume we were told that while we werent those players first choice they would sign for us if certain other clubs didnt come in. But those clubs did come in (Arsenal and PSG). I mean are you saying that we should only have made bids for players that we're absolutely sure we could get? Why throw big money bids at players you know you've got no hope of signing?? Who would do a thing like that? But that's the point your repeatedly missing, theres nothing to say we didnt have a chance of signing them. Nothing to say we did either. We could do this all night tbh. I think we only bid for them after finding out that the chances of signing them was pretty low. I think we did it as a faux show of 'ambition' to appease fans and players. If you disagree with that then that's absolutely fine with me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Heneage Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Bloody forum errors. I must admit with all this fanfare and etc a LB is a must now, if we don't get one this place will explode for one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TherealnorthernTOON Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Bet we bid 7.5 Euro as price from journous has been 8. They probably want something like 10, but abit negotiation and player pushing for it it will go down to 8.5 or 9.5 with addons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Those quotes from them seem to make the deal more likely to me. If they're talking openly about bids and him leaving then we might still pull this off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I can't believe we've got a player of Cissokho's quality desperate to sign and we're pussyfooting about paying an extra couple of million (it's not as if we've just recieved this fee for our left back anyway...). If you didn't laugh you'd fucking cry. Spot on. Its unbelievable that he's interested and yet you know we'll mess this up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razor Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I think they knew fine well this would be rejected, it was done because of Barton, need to look active in the market because we're going to end up with some shite left back on the last day and no striker.

Ikon Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 f*** all on the right though. But we have Simpson's amazing footballing ability, that'll compensate for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 http://www.rmcsport.fr/editorial/176450/b-lacombe-cissokho-nous-pose-pas-mal-de-problemes/ I love the top comment on this article. "It's not Newcastle who are offering just half of his price, but Lyon who paid double his value in the first place! "lol" mister Lacombe, Cissokho is worth €6m max".
