BottledDog Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Goddamnit, we're juggling shitloads of potential transfers at the moment. One final push lads, one final push. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sifu Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Sooo, we're getting both Cissokho and Pieters? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Aye just seen the article there. He's having talks with the Lyon President on Monday to discuss his departure. Surely we're not getting him AND Pieters? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely we're not getting him AND Pieters? Either that or we'll still be deciding between them after the window SLAMS shut. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frazzle Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 No way we'll get both. Would be mental anyway having Cissokho and Pieters as left backs and Simpson and Perch on the other side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasper Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 This is how its going to happen: "We showed great ambition by going after, not one, but two great left backs. Sadly neither of them wanted to be second choice so we ended up with neither." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest palnese Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Pardew has said that we can't afford to have two "first team" left backs at the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Could we play one of them on the wing or something? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Could we play one of them on the wing or something? I was thinking a couple of days ago maybe he's thinking Cissokho for the left-midfield spot similar to how Robson used Domi and occasionally Bernard.

taxfree Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Can one of them play RB? No. That's where Santon comes in the picture Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

taxfree Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Pieters is the cheaper safe option. Cissokho is the more expensive, better one we're haggling over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Geordiesned Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 We probably could tie up either of them no problem but probably will fuck it up and end up with neither! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_F Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 For what it's worth, Caulkin says the left back situation is confusing... As of last night we were hopeful of having Pieters in by Sunday, but NUFC representatives have been talking to Cissokho's people today. Knowing this lot they've probably shook hands on a deal with Pieters but gone back to Lyon with one last try to get Cissokho before sealing it.

jdckelly Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 or Ashleys going to spite Barton and go on a spending spree now that he's left and we get both of them as well as a Barton replacement and a top class striker............. yeah not likely is it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallace Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Both players want to come here and have probably been unsettled by our interest. We seem to be playing them off against each other rather than concentrating on the one we want and making discrete enquiries on the other as a back up plan. The way we have been conducting my transfer business lately is baffling. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest H09 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 We seem to be playing them off against each other rather than concentrating on the one we want and making discrete enquiries on the other as a back up plan. This is what I think too. We could and should have had someone in by now, it's dragging to try and get the cheapest. I just hope it doesn't back fire.

James Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 It will get to the point where they are sat next to each other at the contract signing table and Llambias does eeny meeny miny mo, handing the winner a contract, and the loser a picture of Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Ashley not realise that £2 million is what we'll get for finishing 2 places higher in the league?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
