mosstef Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I questioned him this time last season on his constant scaremongering over Tiote, I was told that I 'didn't know the sources that he gets his information from'. It beggars belief that he's employed full time, I've got half a mind to walk down to the chronicle office and apply for his job there and then. I seriously believe that this thread is his number 1 source for NUFC-related transfer news. I imagine him sitting at his desk constantly pressing F5 in the hope that Optimistic Nut or someone else has found (and translated) som french or Dutch newspaper article on a possible transfer of a player he have never heard of.

Cajun Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I'm pretty sure in the old days Shepherd and Alan Oliver had a decent understanding in that the club would toss the Chronicle bones re transfer news and the paper wouldn't hammer their running of the club. Even in the desperate Souness/ Roeder eras, the paper never called out Shepherd's running of things. All ties are cut now and basically Ryder and co don't have a clue until something concrete happens, or they read it on here first. Pretty much. Basically O-Nut seems to be on the ball more than them and as far as I am aware he isn't a full time (or even part time) journalist Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parky Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 M'Villa would be massive. Cost too much? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BooBoo Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 The Nut is simply the best go to man on NUFC transfer news. I'm quick to criticise people on here, but Nut is a real asset to the forum. Another great summer of transfer updates. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 If one of our big names do go this week without top quality coming in i'll be fuming. Ashley's real intent for the club will be evident this week. We'll see. Good point. I think we're about to find out if Ashley is the real deal or just not that arsed. This is said in every transfer window, we know exactly what the policy is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 How much are they looking at for M'Villa? Probably nowt in the Tiote/Cabaye rumours, but if one goes for £25 million and we could get this lad for say half, then i think Ashley would be all over it.

Ketsbaia Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Surely M'Vila would be too good for us? He's better than Tiote and apparantly cheaper. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Surely M'Vila would be too good for us? He's better than Tiote and apparantly cheaper. A host of big clubs were linked, but l'equipe seem to think ut is Us and Everton in for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 The only way we will go for M'Vila is if Cabaye or Tiote leave, probably just letting our interest known if the worst comes to the worst. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difference this time should be that we have someone lined up to replace them within the given time limit. Not go in weakened because we have a policy of accepting high enough bids.

Ghandis Flip-Flop Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 It's been mentioned before that Ashley is following the Lyon transfer model of accepting everyone has their price and accepting that 'Big Fish' will come along and poach their best players. However the big difference is they have their replacements lined up and sorted before their crown jewels are sold. We really shouldn't find ourselves in a similar position to the Carrol January window as the masses of cash in the bank can't play for us during the following 6 months.

Guest bimpy474 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Luckily today i can get away from the transfer wonderment, I'm taking the kids and Mrs Bimpy to see "Brave". Have to pay a bit more though, only the luxury seats fit Mrs Bimpy's arse. Last time we went standard i had to put both feet on the arms of her chair to hoy her out of it. Like playing tug of war with more a hairy Geoff Capes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a Lyon model though, it's a model used by everyone bar Barca, Real Madrid, City, Chelsea and now PSG. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
