madras Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Perch can play at left back, as can Simpson. shola can play up front then ? Precisely. The sweet, sweet sound of money in the bank. or just not getting the deals they wanted. when i go shopping for something i need, i'll not pay more than i think i should. i'm sure if it was just money in the bank we could've sold tiote, cabaye, krul and cisse, last summer for healthy profits, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

QBG Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Haidara for 3m would be an excellent signing, one of the best young players in France without a shadow of a doubt. Sissoko for 3.5m would be great business too. Bong... meh, he's decent, but wouldn't add anything special imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I must have missed this but where have we been linked with 3.5m for Sissoko? Toulouse director trying to make some money of him whilst they can, although contradicts what they have said earlier. I don't think we'll go for him, but if somebody does it could mean he wants to leave now rather than wait for his contract to expire. Coincidentally, being linked with two left backs now I hope it means we are on the verge of selling Simpson on, rather than the talks about Santon going back to Italy being true..

Hang on a minute, people like me were raging in the summer and claiming it wasn't acceptable so little was invested in the squad. People like you were saying it wasn't a problem. Now we're struggling and you're saying it couldn't have been foreseen? Do me a favour. Pig sick of the attitude that we're no better off than a newly-promoted club and that every single penny wasted could endanger it. And somehow opinions like mine are portrayed as the negative ones. Especially the bold part. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Didn't think about this till now but maybe if we brought a LB in we could send Ferguson out on loan? Same goes for Sammy if we brought in a Wing-Forward like Remy? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Flash Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 We're probably in profit from this and the last window. Not even the most negative, Ashley hating person would have thought that on June 1st. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

madras Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 dave, i wouldn't say you held a negative view, we all know where we lack and it would be nice to get the players in. however there is a prevailing attitude as to how simple that is and a seeming desire among some to return to boumsong/luque days. i've had conversations with fans of many other clubs about how they are crying out for whatever position , spurs cover for adebayor/defoe, mackems for a laft back, liverpool forwards etc etc and it's not just us. i like the fact that since we came up i don't think any player we've shelled out significantly on has flopped, also until we know what has happened in each transfer it's difficuilt to slag off. i think it's more difficuilt than just, we need a centre half, go get one.
