hakka Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Do worry that he is planning to sell a few come the Summer. I hope we do get rid of a fair few, tbh. We do have ones worth selling/releasing, I'm more concerned about our better ones actually fetching a bigger fee or wanting out. If Jonas, Willamson, Simpson, Shola etc. were moved on/released I'd be pretty happy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

garth Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 He's probably going to sell the club. Buys up big, gets his money back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cp40 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Anybody else suspect that the Remy shenanigans have got the ownership more pro-active- in that they have told thier targets- heres the offer take it or leave it now, today, and not given them the chance to go away and think about it ( look for better deal) - hence they all jumped aboard.

Well if that's true, then hats of Mike and company. Something has definitely changed as we have been astute since last week and pushed through the signings with no hitches, unheard of with our lot. This must give our current lads a big boost and shows ambition to improve. If we can get over this rough patch we must be stronger for it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 For all his faults, Ashley is a shrewd businessman. And he's done a downright fantastic bit of business this week. Getting as many players as we have for that price. Unfortunate as it is, Ashley's looking at a big fat cheque when he inevitably decides to flip some of these guys. Unless they completely shit the bed in the PL, Sissoko and Yanga-Mbiwa especially are sure to be in hot demand in the next few years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chicken little Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Unfortunate as it is, Ashley's looking at a big fat cheque when he inevitably decides to flip some of these guys. as long as the model holds, i'm not even that arsed. we'll punt ben arfa and cabaye down the line for massive cash. but it doesn't matter, because somewhere in paris there's a lad whose balls haven't even dropped who is going to be even better, and who graham carr knows all about. in about five years time, after said lad has earned his second cap, fat mike and dekka will somehow convince his club to swap him for a fucking handful of magic beans. things are literally never, ever going to go wrong from here on in. trust me.

Aye, seems that way to me. And we are one step ahead of Wenger the whole way it looks like, all these transfer articles seem to mention that Wenger was in touch but didnt have his bid together in time.

colinmk Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Big money TV deal next season and the very real possibility of relegation has resulted in this I think, survive relegation and bring in a decent manager and it could work out very well for us next season. Long way to go yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanji Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Not thanking him or giving him praise until the window is closed and we have a clear picture of ins and outs full stop. He's gone up in my estimation so far by sanctioning these outlays. I'll give DL's deal team and Carr's scouting team (whoever they are in both areas) huge praise for the job they are doing so far.
