matta Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gdm Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 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?

Mole_Toonfan Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Unbelievable Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Bony sounds great.. Comes across as a bit of a big time Charlie. Unfortunately for that reason I fear he thinks he is better than us and would only consider a so-called big club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
