Dokko Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Problem is with Graham is that Swansea want too much for him (not that they wouldn't get it) at £6m he's a huge amount of money for us, and of course in France we'd get a much better player for that knowing us. I like him, he's everything Cisse isn't, therefore would make a good backup to him, and maybe even a partner. He makes it had for defenders, always working hard, a threat in the air, brave and puts himself about and willing to work for the team. Cisses qualities lie elsewhere that's for sure. You'd know he'd bust a gut for us, wouldn't be looking for his next move and be happy to be part of the squad. His wages wouldn't be daft while being light years ahead of anything else we've got upfront bar Cisse. But that asking price, it's a massive sticking point and why we won't be going anywhere near him. The £3.5m they paid is about right for us. If we could do a deal round that neck of the woods I reckon we'd be in for him. As it stands, totally priced out of this one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I don't even think the price tag is in the region of 6 million, probably closer to 4. Still, he would be on significant wages, and turns 28 this upcoming summer. I would much rather spend that sort of money on a young, promising forward if we can't get that first team player in now, if we really feel we need cover in case Cisse gets injured.

hoppaz Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Francois Piraux @F8Piraux I know very well William Vainqueur because he is a ex-FC Nantes player. Very good player, fast and technical. Perfect for EPL. #NUFC My only logic thought process to this is NUFC are actually going to use Sissoko as a number 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoppaz Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 There are so many more players that need moving on before Mav. Our squad is balanced more in most areas other than attacking options. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Hopefully Marv plays himself into a role where he stays here. He's a very skillful player who could really shine even more with these new signings around him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have got Yohan coming back, and he's like a new player; Debuchy has come into the building and settled quickly, [sylvain] Marveaux is playing well, and then the new boys on top of that.

I find this link completely mystifying btw, as he doesn't seem to be highly rated, and we aren't exactly short on (defensive) central midfield players.

Aye honestly any link that isn't with a winger or striker going forward will confuse me, unless of course its a kid. We are utterly stacked in midfield and in defense we don't need anything unless Colo leaves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLK Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I'm not worried just when Cisse is injured, I'm actually worried that Cisse continues to misfire and we don't have anyone else to swap him with at the 60th min in the match. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
