Unbelievable Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 After seeing that snippet from Douglas about replacing Cisse with Carroll i'm not even going to bother to read that as it's absolute utter w***. It's not a bad article really. He's correct about Cisse going if the price offered is right too, just not about "right" being 20 million. The part about Carroll may well be correct for all we know, i.e. we might only move for him if we lose Ba (unlikely now) or Cisse before the end of the window. With the likes of Chelsea, Spurs and Liverpool still looking light up top, there are no guarantees no one will come in for Cisse at the eleventh hour unfortunately.

Guest BooBoo Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Standard drivel by Douglas in the Journal - http://www.journallive.co.uk/nufc/newcastle-united-news/2012/08/25/crunch-time-for-contenders-newcastle-united-61634-31694270/ What an absolute bullshit article.

Says absolutely nothing. Some of it worryingly arrogant... Without a couple of signings this window we will do well to finish top 7... As it stands we've stood still...

alpal78 Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 We didn't get Anita in then? No need for the sarcasm, Anita does not strengthen the first team like what our rivals have done. He is useful but more as a backup to Tiote and Cabaye Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 If we play 4-4-2 he's backup, if we play 4-3-3 he's first team Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpal78 Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 If we play 4-4-2 he's backup, if we play 4-3-3 he's first team You're right, but if we go 4-3-3 with Anita, Tiote and Cabaye, then that presumably means sacrificing Jonas and I'm not sure that makes the first team stronger because I think Jonas plays a specific role which though unspectacular is essential to the way we play Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 I know what you mean but can see then Jonas replacing ba in front 3 against teams with a threatening right wing. My point being I'm not sure there's going to be a fixed first team anymore, there's going to be rotation, so thinking there's 11 players and they have to be displaced for someone to be considered in our first string seems inaccurate Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is useful but more as a backup to Tiote and Cabaye Oh yeah. I'm <i>really sorry</i> for the sarcasm, I really am. Don't think he'll be back-up personally.

Optimistic Nut Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Journos on Sunday Supplement doing their best to get Tiote & Cabaye to Arsenal. c***s. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 yeah they're basically admitting that the "stories" they wrote in the paper are bullshit and basically just who they think arsenal should by. Demonstrated by the fact one of them thinks tiote and the other thinks cabaye. Wankers, pure wankers the lot of them. Easiest job in the world.

Wilson Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 aye me mates just text me saying he's heard a few people saying tiote to arsenal on the radio as well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Yeah, the one whose article was the Tiote one was clueless. One of the other journos asked him what his contract status was like and if it'd involve a big fee, and he went, "erm, erm....well I don't think it's his last year". Didn't have the foggiest.

NG32 Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 How much do we reckon they'd ask for Tiote? If the librarians want Tiote, then we want 25 million or 20 million plus a player. Lets not fuck about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Flash Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I'd have said £25million but it's pointless if we'll still be penny pinching on our incoming transfers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 If they bid £12m I don't think we'd accept but the writing would be on the wall. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 If they bid £12m I don't think we'd accept but the writing would be on the wall. For £12m? Really? I think they won't go higher than about £15m and we can hold on, he's got plenty of time on his contract and his value won't go down. The only worry is if his head it turned for that kind of amount imo, which could happen I suppose Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 £25m normally, but there should be extra for doing it so late in the window. Not that a bid will come in though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I assumed you meant we'd then go on to sell him for a little more, which I'm not sure about Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyeyzzon Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 The Tiote thing may drag on to be like Carroll's if we get an irresistible offer but have to ponder whether it's worth the gamble to leave our squad lightweight and gutted till the next transfer window.
