NUFC transfer rumours in the press


Recommended Posts

We rarely sign players when we have competition for their signature. I think only Ben Arfa and Ba have been signed in recent times when there were other teams in for them.

 

Yohan Cabaye - We were very clever and found out about his clause before other teams did and got it sewn up early

Demba Ba - Everton were supposedly in for him but I think they're maybe one of the few teams that we can (or at least be wllling to) offer better terms than

Sylvain Marveaux - Something unknown happened causing Liverpool to pass up on him and we re-ignited our interest after the agent contacted us

Gabriel Obertan - No-one else wanted him

Davide Santon - No other serious offers

Brian Ruiz - We lost out to Fulham

Shane Long - Lost out to West Brom

Kevin Gameiro - Lost out to PSG

Gervinho - Lost out to Arsenal

Charles N'Zogbia - Lost out to Aston Villa

 

Papiss Cisse - Some teams had an interest in him but we were the only ones who put in an offer when we found out he was within our price range

 

Luuk De Jong - We lost out to Borussia Monchengladbach

Junior Hoilett - Lost out to QPR

Andy Carroll - Lost out to West Ham

Vurnon Anita - We were the only real offer. Supposed interest from Sunderland but no proof of bid

Nathaniel Clyne - Lost out to Southampton

 

Loic Remy - Lost out to QPR on wages

Moussa Sissoko* - This is another player we have real competition for and whilst it's yet to be seen where he ends up it's not looking promising at the moment.

 

It's not even as though we're missing out to Man Utd, Chelsea, Liverpool etc... We're missing out to West Ham, QPR and Southampton etc... Newly promoted or bottom half Premiership teams.

 

That makes you wonder who exactly we can compete with?

 

That list is depressing :(

 

 

Sad but true.

That is a real eye opener

Did we lose out to half of them? I dont think we were seriously in for Long, N'zogbia, hoilett or clyne and I'm sure Pardew more or less said we didn't get Carroll coz of politics (Liverpool not wanting to sell him back to us) and the Ruiz bid was a lot of bollocks was it not?

Much do you think Mbiwa & Bony would cost us ?

 

12-16m i reckon.

 

 

 

So £8m we were gona spend on Remy + say another £6-8m HAS to be worth the spend surely? worth it even if we weren't desperate.

 

Well most french journos seem to think Mbiwa's release clause is around 8m and Bony i heard was about the same but considering the club he plays for and potential theres probably a bit of lee way for negotiation so the Bony part is a bit of guess work on my part.

 

I'll be gob smacked if we spend over 5m on a defender and a forward, whats more likely is a budget priced CB and 6m+ on a forward.

Vitesse is Holland's Man City since they have been taken over by Georgian business man Zjordania, so don't expect them to sell cheap as they don't have to. Also, his wages will be huge compared to other players in the Dutch league.

What French journalists if you don't mind me asking? Everywhere else I've read said it's higher than that.

Crossan and that ( ok its not a journo perse) French breaking news account which is followed by Crossan and Francois Piraux so they must have some legit info.

Fair enough, i heard his going rate was around 8m and sort of guessed based on that.

 

:lol: :facepalm:

 

Talking about Bony btw as i have no idea on Dutch football but its been reported that its price range, not Mbiwa theres people with actual contacts that say his clause is around 8m that isn't guesswork.
