Well that have to be hard for Maiga to swallow. PS: We're a disgrace.

 

A disgrace! :lol:

 

 

How very f***ing dare we sound out a player. :troll:

 

We're a disgrace for not having a striker yet. And now we've seemingly given up on the latest target. Howay man.

All clubs do it and i doubt Sochaux will be able to prove we have tapped him up.

Don't be Sochaux................

New article but it looks like old Maiga quotes

Sochaux have contacted Fifa stating there has been an illegal approach for the 23-year-old, who has reportedly gone AWOL since interest emerged from St James' Park.

 

Pardew, who also wants to sign PSV Eindhoven's£7million-rated left-back, Erik Pieters, has suggested clubs are performing 'brinkmanship' in an attempt to earn more money.

 

But Maiga's intentions appear clear, as he told L'Equipe: "I want it to be done with Newcastle. I want to leave - it is necessary that the president agrees to negotiate.

 

"If clubs are resigned to losing a player, they want the best possible price."

Quotes of the week

"I met everybody, they want me and it is not any club. England is a dream. I want to go."

 

Price

 

It remains to be seen whether Newcastle continue their interest in Maiga, but they are expected to pursue an attempt to sign Pieters.

 

Pardew said in the Daily Star: "I think there is a little bit of brinkmanship going on, which is understandable.

 

"If clubs are resigned to losing a player, they want the best possible price.

 

"So, when a transfer gets close, suddenly other clubs and the media get to know about it and all sorts of accusations fly around.

 

"But when you cut through everything, I want two positions filled before the end of the window and I think we will do that."

"Modibo Maiga, he talked a lot and hope to see him on the ground to help his buddies + +, said assistant coach Stéphane Gili. We understood that he wanted to leave but it would be nice to see him on the ground respect for the club and the supporters. "
