Cajun Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Once again our offer is just below what you could realistically do a deal at. "Well, at least we tried..." Sometimes you've got to pay the price. Any other club's owners you think this is just us testing the water and will eventually pay up as the deadline approaches. Won't with us. Got no problem with going in fairly low to see how they react then going back in with a more realistic bid. We're just going in deliberately low and leaving it at that. Someone else said you can only afford to play hardball when you're in a position of strength. Our lack of flexibility and compromise is canny vexing. Or possibly 7m or whatever is what we've got arranged with PSV for Pieters, so we tried our luck at Cissokho for around the same, weren't successful, so will settle on Pieters? Would do me, IF we get Pieters. It's not a bad policy tbh, just far too fucking late trying it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or possibly €7m or whatever is what we've got arranged with PSV for Pieters, so we tried our luck at Cissokho for around the same, weren't successful, so will settle on Pieters? To be honest it's getting to the stage where I don't mind which on we go for. We need a LB in asap and if the cash is there then let's get one of them in. My frustration is how laborious the whole process is over a relatively small sum of money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Can Cissokho play left-midfield? Wonder (wishful f***ing thinking of course) if we're thinking Pieters left-back, Cissokho left-midfield as we did with Domi & Bernard a fair bit, with Jonas going on the right?

EthiGeordie Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Good player but just because Lyon paid stupid money for Porto we should follow through and pay them another huge fee. 7 mil is good enough take it or leave it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcjb Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Not sure if mentioned, but the Lyon president has confirmed we've made a bid on RMC radio. http://www.sport.fr/football/ligue-1-cissokho-pose-pas-mal-de-problemes-l-ol-230385.shtm "Currently, Aly Cissokho is causing us a lot of problems because every day he's coming to us asking to leave" said President Aulas' advisor on RMC, a request which "Les Gones" aren't yet ready to give in to, particularly since an offer made by Newcastle is a long way from meeting the asking price...."That would be annoying if he left a few days before the window closed, after Newcastle had made an offer. But the problem is Newcastle have offered half of what we originally paid for him. If this remains the case. Aly will stay with us", said Lacombe. when did they do this interview? after tonight's match? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 We must be the cheapest club in football history. i think around 8M will get us him but no we'd rather waste our time trying to have them lower the price and eventually end up with Raylor and Shane Ferguson as our left-backs for the season.
