Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 It's all just mind-numbingly speculative at the end of the day though, I've almost had it and there are two and a half months left. Â Voice of reason Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jagten Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Apparently the times are running with Chelsea to make an 18m bid for Hatem. Anyone a subscriber? I can't view it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxfree Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 From the Guardian: A right-back will also join [Chelsea], with Lille's Mathieu Debuchy – impressing with France at Euro 2012 – and César Azpilicueta of Marseille under consideration. There is tentative interest, too, in the Newcastle winger Hatem Ben Arfa. The playing staff are due to start returning for pre-season training at Cobham from 4 July, with the squad travelling to Seattle for a two-week tour on 14 July, by which time Di Matteo would hope to have his new recruits integrated into the club. Urgh.

Guest MrSundlofer Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 If I was a professional footballer and one of my best friends played for, lets say Lazio (qualified for the Europa League) and they had shown strong interest in me I would be interested in joining them... But if, lets say Bayern München, Manchester United and Valencia (all qualified for the Champions League) wanted to sign me and offered me the chance to play against some of the best teams in Europe and in the Champions League I would be very interested. Basically, I wouldn't rule out Debuchy signing for another club  However, our strong interest, Cabaye, our other French players, our current league position and some media reports like Mathieu Debuchy keen on a move to Newcastle United - is a mix of why he could sign for us.

bowlingcrofty Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 £18 million??? Double it and we'll talk. Would be gutted if we lost Hatem, especially to a side who finished below us last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Tbf the same article said we want a "minimum" of 26m.... who says we wont hold out for more if its a minimum of 26m? In any case i cant think of anyone of the top of my head as like for like goes.... we would probably have to get a different type of player who could do a similar job ( as far as effectiveness goes) but not as talented. Belhanda is a playmaker, a #10 etc etc i dont think he could do a job outwide.
