NUFC transfer rumours in the press

The Montpellier owner is just one of them characters man, he's always running his mouth off about anything and everything. He's been there 35+ years.

 

Best bits from Nicollin's latest interview, with L'Equipe, published last Saturday:

 

"Montpellier champions? Impossible. All I'm worried about is that we might qualify for the Europa League. That'd really p*ss me off. What a rubbish competition!"

 

"If I were at PSG, Lyon, Lille or Rennes, and Montpellier finished as champions, I'd want to stab myself in the backside with a sausage. What a disgrace that would be!"

 

"If Gignac joins us, he'll be back in the France team within six months. But it's impossible because of his salary. He drives a Maserati; if he comes here we'd give him a hatchback."

 

"I wouldn't refuse Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa a transfer because we'd find another stopper. He can go to Bayern. But he's not going to Lille or some middle-ranking English club."

 

"Last year, I thought René Girard wanted to join Bordeaux. I would have signed Raymond Domenech (to replace him). Domenech's got balls - although he doesn't always put them in the right place."

 

"I'm fat and ugly. But look at the France players: they're not exactly good looking."

 

"Like three-quarters of the country I don't like this (France) team. I only watched the France-US game because Olivier Giroud was playing. I didn't watch the Belgium match - there was a Western on at the same time."

 

Some past Nicollin classics:

 

"I'd rather my sons got involved in sport than classical music. That bores me senseless. I've got nothing against it, but I'd rather watch curling than listen to Mozart."

- fatherly career advice (February 2007)

 

"I couldn't care less, so long as he gets me in to the top division. If he'd been selling drugs or raping young girls, I wouldn't accept that. But I don't worry about such silly things…"

- on his coach Rolland Courbis being implicated in irregular transfer dealings (October 2007)

 

"I pay my players more than I pay my mistresses. And my mistresses actually give me some pleasure."

- on not getting value for money (April 2007)

 

"Well done Bastia. They have bigger balls than us. We have shriveled olives."

- after Montpellier lost to Bastia (March 2009)

 

"Pedretti ran the game in midfield. But that guy, when he comes to Montpellier, we'll look after him. He's a little poof."

- an ill-advised attack on Benoît Pedretti for which he later apologised (November 2009).

 

Does this look a man who cares what people think?

Dutch media reporting we are interested in Andy Johnson. Can't see it at all, but there you go.

didn't Douglas claim we were interested in a well regarded prem striker playing for a club that need to sell? would be gutted if we ended up with Johnson. so one dimensional and not good enough for our first team. on the way down as well.

Not sure he is. Shola has a bit more to his game in terms of physicality and making himself awkward, and can sometimes be a passable target man. Also, though his good games are very rare, he is capable of better one-off performances than Johnson.

 

Johnson went 26 league games without scoring not that long ago, and has only scored in one game this season. totally one dimensional also - nothing to his game but making predictable runs in behind to poach goals like a shit michael owen and he's not as fast as he was when he played for Palace (and he was average back then as well).

Quotes from Swansea director in the article saying that we have enquired about Vorm.

 

Worrying.

But if tottenham have enquired over krul, its good to know where we would stand.

 

I'd be devastated if we sold Krul for anything less than 20m. Seeing as it could be slackjaw 'arry, price should go up to 35m. In fact we should go with the 35m mantra for all our big players.
