Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 The thing now with both Ben Arfa and cabaye, is they have more value to us than solely players and players we can sell on for profit... they are both big recruitment tools. if France is the market we have identified as having the best pool of potential buys for the best value, we are in a better position to persuade those potentials to come here with one or both of those players. I think Barfa being here will have the same effect on Cabaye's willingness to stay and vice versa, which will have a knock on effect on transfers again. So it's not all about buy cheap, sell high, use that money to buy cheap again... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Roger Kint Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 it is soooo boring reading about peoples paranoia on here. of coz all players have a price like the players at man u , city, barca etc have. nothing new. If a big/acceptable offer comes in and the player wants to leave...what can you do? keep him and let him unsettle half the squad? Nothing have shown us that ashley/pardew are willing to let our best players leave cheaply. They are trying to build a team which takes 2-4 years...after that them you have to rebuild in several postions probably. i have full confident that our best players will be here next season. After that it is difficult to say....maybe things can influence that....playing time, league position etc. this season we will see the strongest Nufc team since the late 90´s. GET EXCITED!!! Dont want to be a downer .. but the year we got relegated I genuinely thought we were going to finish top 4 at the start of the season. Keegan was our manager, we were making moves for Pablo Aimar for some creative spark, talk of Schweinsteiger coming. Coloccini came in. We had a strike force of Martins, Owen and Viduka. One of the best right backs in the league, in Beye. You just never know what can happen in football. Top 4 :lol: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Tbf i thought we were gonna be in a great shout for the top 6 at the start of that season. Probably should've been, wasn't beyond the realms of possibility had it not all kicked off. We were destined for relegation as soon as Keegan and Wise got chucked into the same melting pot (being stirred by Mike Ashley and Derek Llambias), but purely from an 'on paper' perspective - we should've been at the top end of the table.
