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


Optimistic Nut

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

 

Need defenders

 

Solid? Only Ba who's scoring goals, aye, very solid!

 

Best can obviously score goals & Benny will improve. Dont see the point tbh. Ben Arfa wont get another game at this rate if we get another in.

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.

 

I know but in a French report, could be any kind of mis-report or inaccurate story.

 

And as we see with our papers and news channels, they quote all sorts that turn out to be made up rubbish, i just think its too soon to over react.

L'Equipe are absolutely nothing like our papers from what I've seen.

You don't see the point? No offense, but im glad you're not making the decisions, well almost the same as Ashley's thinking probably ;)

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.

 

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.

 

We still might be, man. Calm down, it's not even January yet :lol:

 

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?

 

Yes and no. I don't think the club will sit on their hands but we wont pay over the odds. I don't know, but maybe the fact he was over here getting a medical so early was an indication the club new he had an issue and wanted to check it so they could move for other targets if he failed his medical? After all we have been watching Olivier Giroud since early in the season despite the fact the Maiga deal has apparently been done and dusted for months.

 

Then again maybe this is just us playing funny buggers trying to knock a few million off the price.

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

 

Howay man, you can't expect us to sign someone in January. Prices are too high. It's not like we've had nearly a year to think of alternatives or owt.

How on earth were we to know his medical would bring up an issue? It's the first time we've had a chance to conduct one.

The French press have a cracking success rate when talking about our transfer dealings.

Do you read them everyday and how much of a percentage of their stories are true ?

 

Same as many of ours i would suspect.

It's very well respected across Europe, not just France.

Have to admit, brilliantly as Ba is doing for us at the moment, I'm worried about when he goes to the ACoN. Not only because of us not having him for those weeks, but regarding how well his fitness will be monitored over there by their staff, and playing several games on hard pitches.

Ermmm not really, if we had signed every player that has been linked with us by their papers/news outlets we would have signed dozens by now.

I'd certainly trust L'Equipe more than our press.
