L'Equipe: Modibo Maiga fails medical; transfer 'abandoned'

Absolute farce like. Can guarantee we won't get a striker now.

 

Defenders are priority anyway.

 

 

 

Indeed. Guess we can use the quoted £6/7 million that would have been used to sign Maiga to sign a canny defender (maybe even another one as well who would purely be signed as cover, ie. in the Ridgewell category).

Considering our signings of Marveaux, Gosling and Ba, a question mark coming up in the medical doesn't seem like all that. Other reasons? Character maybe?

 

Couldn't give a shit personally. Defender is priority. Striker can wait.

 

They were all free transfers. Sochaux want £7m for Maiga. Much bigger risk if there is an injury concern.

Jesus we dont know anything yet, it could be a monor issue that will get sorted out, it could be nothing and the story is not true, it could be true...

 

All COULD and not definite, no need to panic yet.

 

There are direct quotes from his agent tbf.

See, this is what will happen now. We've waited a year and a half for a new striker but now they've got a ready made excuse not to get once since we're even more desperate elsewhere.

 

We should be buying a striker and defenders, ffs.

Its not that big an issue, our current strikeforce is solid tbh & people want Ben Arfa given a chance as it is.

 

Need defenders

 

Is it really solid though?

Good point aye.

 

Hopefully we can move on to Giroud or whoever. Badly need someone in. The fact Lovenkrands is still getting game time is hideous.

:thup:

 

Hopefully we have alternatives, but I'm doubtful considering how long we've apparently been trying to get Maiga. Plus we now don't have the benefit of signing a player who went on strike to join us etc, nor a price agreed.

The possibility that Andy Carroll has been made available has made us have a rethink?

 

Torres back to Liverpool for £20m and Carroll back to us for £10m?

 

 

Its all good, Chelsea paid for everything.

True, excuse me for being cynical about this though. It's not like we've already spent one entire transfer window floundering about and ending up with nowt. This one seemed to be in the pipeline for months and was likely because the player was forcing it through, if we don't already have a backup in motion then do you have faith in us opening up negotiations for somebody else and getting it done?

I'd be very surprised if we didn't move for someone else but the fact it's January and we're going to have to pay more than the going rate is going to turn any deal into a painful bloody experience.
