Guest Tyson Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 If we cash-in our chips anytime soon, by offloading either (or both) Tiote or HBA at the peak of their powers (to pay for incoming & cheaper replacements, including 1st year wages), the club will be cementing the warranted suspicion that we're a feeder club at a boutique address . Just as were in the eighties, when we shipped out crown jewels, or teams spine to meet upfront & basic/everyday running costs. No doubt that plenty of the young-uns are planning on having HBA pressed on to their next round of replica shirts. A decent contingency plan (to have ironed on to the strip, as a DIY job) would be to wait for the release of the next lot of financial reports, and press a copy of the spreadsheet on.

Guest magpie99 Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 I wouldnt worry too much about our better players leaving unless it was a Carrollesque offer which the club have already said. Basically, they are not telling clubs we are willing to sell but saying keep away unless you want to pay way over their valuations. I can see Ben Arfa leaving in 2 to 3 years though bhy which time he will be 28 and still a saleable asset and replaced by a player probably 5 or 6 years younger, found by Carr.

Guest magpie99 Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 This might sound strange and hyperthetical but what if Cisse, who is 28 next season, scored a hatful of goals next year, in the PL and europe and was sold to someone like Real Madrid or Barca for 50 million quid and then we went and signed someone like Luuk De Jong from Twente who is 22 and he proved just as good at 10 million. Good busoness sense really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 With Ben Arfa and Krul, I would tend to think that whatever offer we might get now, we'd probably get more in a year's time. Potentially, they can also be a big part in a good future for us, but just from the financial point of view it would make sense to hold out. With Tiote, I think it's a different matter. I suspect his reputation has peaked and a £20m offer would be a very good one (ie Carroll scenario again) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tyson Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 If Ben Arfa does make the Euros, I'm sure he'll big us up a bit to the other players in the French squad Under-the-table player recruiting (ie. tapping-up) goes on in the dressing rooms of the international squads imo. It's the first port of call, and the most accessible way to unsettle a possible recuit. A refocused & better performing French team, under the spotlight of the Euros, will attract plaudits & greater interest in the clubs' assets. Particularly the next generation of potential stars, even those on the fringe of the 1st team too. The asking price will reflect this (if there are no exploitable clauses etc) and whether or not Ashley is prepared to cough-up an undiscounted rate is another matter.

Didn't N'Zogbia big us up to Cabaye? I'm certain they had an international match just after it was announced he was moving to us and Zog tweeted he'd been talking us up to him.

1964 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Benny's goal was class and anyone who says differently is a retard. Running at pace with the ball under control is the most difficult skill in football and he has the knack of letting the defenders think they can get the ball and use a second touch to take it past them. Sheer class! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
