henke Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 If it was going to happen i'd have thought they'd have at least tried earlier in the window using Carroll in a swap deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasy Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I personally prefer to keep him as we know fat mike will keep most of the money rather than reinvest. Yeah we absolutely have to keep him obviously, I'd lose the plot completely if he's sold. Just the whole "we know he'll keep most of the money" thing is so ridiculous.

Tiresias Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I don't give a toss about the money I just want to watch ben arfa play for us. Yeah yeah yeah we could sell him for loads and buy 3 players, but that's still a gamble. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallace Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I would hope that Ashley's vindictive side would rise to the fore should a bid materialise. They tapped Enrique up which meant that we were compromised on the fee and they refused to deal with us when we wanted Carroll back on loan. I hope we would just refuse to sell to them although I know that is an unrealistic hope. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 TBH, I think any club would be taking a massive gamble if they stumped up the kind of money it would take to get Ashley to sell. His fitness is still unproven. Confident he'll be here next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallace Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I don't think we can risk selling Ben Arfa, Cabaye, Krul and Cisse. I would think 2 of those might go but to lose 4 would be a huge risk as they are all first team players and would need to be replaced by first team players. 3 of the 4 are offensive players and that is the area we are severely lacking in as well and we would also have to buy a quality keeper to replace Krul because Elliott is not good enough to be first choice. I don't think Kinnear could cope trying to get 4 quality players seeing he is struggling to get one over the line. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the moment I would say none of them will go, Cisse being the obvious doubt until the Wonga thing is sorted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I don't believe this story in particular but I wish we'd hurry up and get his contract sorted. If he goes, that'd genuinely be it for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think we will struggle if they all stayed tbh, but i guess Krul might go and Cabaye and thats cos Krul is young and top class and Cabaye will go to a better club than what we are now .Imho we are there for easy pickings and due to our lack of ambition agents will tout our players out unknowingly to the club Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexf Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Thought this link would rear it's ugly head again once Liverpool lost out on Mkhitaryan to Dortmund. Would officially be the last straw for me if he went. Especially if it was to Liverpool. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 All seems and sounds like an absolute load of crap to me Me too. Everything HBA says tells you he's happy here. And in his case, I don't think it's just footballer waffle. Not that he would never leave, but I don't think he'd leave now to go to Liverpool. And anyway, the bid that would force us to sell is not likely to be forthcoming, because of his limited appearances and dodgy fitness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Yeah, I dont think he'd want to go there. I know that sounds mental for most footballers on the planet, but we know Hatem is a bit of a maverick Right after appointing Kinnear, they're saying he wants to sign a new contract.
