eliassenfredrik Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Just get Mbiwa in already, we'd be semi-covered on the backline, just missing Belhanda and a striker like Guidetti! Obviously already lost out on Verthongen, time to get them knickers on FATTY! http://verydemotivational.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/demotivational-posters-imagination.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TherealnorthernTOON Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Starting to let it sink in that we ain't going to have any new faces for the Spurs game. Wanted us to make a statement that we were willing to fight for those top spots with a quality signing improving our first XI. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BooBoo Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Yep, I for one am very disappointed that we've not strengthened. Still, "loads of time" left...... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Cissokho eager to leave Lyon News Date: 8th August 2012 View Comments: (0) Aly Cissokho wants to move to Italy or England Aly Cissokho would be open to a move from Lyon this summer, with England or Italy his preferred destination, his agent has said. France international Cissokho has been linked with number of clubs in England, including Manchester United, Tottenham, Sunderland and Newcastle, as well as Inter Milan and Napoli in Serie A - but the €11 million being demanded by his club could be a stumbling block. Speaking to France Football, his brother and agent Mamadou Cissokho said: "The preference would be to depart. Aly wishes to discover a new challenge. If he has to stay he will, and he will do his job - but if there is an opportunity, he will seize it." Cissokho joined Lyon from FC Porto for a reported €15 million in July 2009 after a potential transfer to AC Milan fell through. Now deemed surplus to requirements at the Stade Gerland, and having been criticised publicly by the Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas, the full-back is hoping the club will lower their asking price. "The priority is England or Italy. However, there have been no concrete offers as yet, even though Lyon are keen to sell," Mamadou Cissokho added. "Aulas made a show in the press and now he has to take his words into consideration and be sensible about a fee. If he doesn't want the player, he has to let him leave for the right price. €11 million for a full-back is impossible nowadays." http://www.businessghana.com/portal/sports/news.php?op=getNews&id=31339&news_cat_id=3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghandis Flip-Flop Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 I agree it's not so much the lack of numbers coming in, it's the message that signing no one for the first team sends out to the fans and the existing players. The whole situation has parallels to the Bowyer signing window and we know how that worked out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Its very frusraiting when we are being linked with some real quality players, ones we know we need and who will really strengthen our squad. Yet the club seem willing to let it rumble on and on in the hope of getting these players as cheap as possible, I get it yeah but that is all fine and dandy when there are months left to play thee games. However now so much time passes and that tactic has not worked then its time to pay up and get these players signed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley would rather miss out on a filling a priority position than pay over the odds, as we've seen with the striker search last summer and the centre back search last January. He will not change his MO now, especially as he's gambled and came out trumps before. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are spot on and its just more fuel to the frustration, as in some cases the fee wanted is not over the odds, its just he won't buy unless he see's it as him winning, a little victory to give himself a semi.

Unbelievable Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Also I genuinely believe we don't operate based on a budget set beforehand, but we try to make a killing at every individual deal we make, be it incoming or outgoing. That's where Mike gets his kicks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Come off it, whenever he played, in the main it was like playing with 10 men. He is a coward as well. Shying out of tackles and 50-50s. I say he is one of the worst because he came from Man Utd, cost us 3m, comes with a bit of a reputation and hails from a country that is renowned for producing quality players. That and physically he has all the attributes, especially his pace. I consider his technique to be very good too, but his brain.... jesus wept. It really is like he is a mong when on the ball. Waste of a shirt. Peddle him and replace him with youth in terms of the squad. Routledge was never good enough but a much better performer for us.
