alexf Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 There's obviously no money been made available from Ashley. We could easily have got any of ; Gomis: £4-7m? Remy: £6-8m? Bent: £5-8m? Sinclair: £5m? (rumoured price today) http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2377141/Scott-Sinclair-wanted-West-Brom-Everton.html None of those fees are extortionate considering our stature as a club and our desperation for a striker.

pedro111 Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I very much prefer him not talking to the media, thank you. I wish he would talk to them more tbh as it would speed up the process of getting rid of him as he would eventually say something to a) get himself sacked b) get himself arrested or c) get himself so worked up that he has another heart attack. Any of the three options and I'm happy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fucking hell that's the last thing we want I wish players could just ignore him. But yeah getting players in before the first game should be one of the priorities.

nufc4eva Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Not happening, won't sign anyone and likely to lose a player or 2 (Wouldn't be surprised to see Cisse and Cabaye go with sub standard or no replacement) Can't believe how hard we find it to get players in, we are the most unprofessional team in the league and completely shit at what we do. I would have took quite a few players that have recently moved for reasonable fees. We don't seem to have a very geared up approach to transfers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 and yet a year ago we were envied for our approach to transfers. Big Mike had to go fuck with that as well just like he fucks up every other decision he makes at this club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Mike had to go f*** with that as well just like he f***s up every other decision he makes at this club. Over a year ago really now. Although we were quite good in January, we fucked up massively last summer and seem to be making same mistakes this summer. The summer when we got Cabaye and Ba was best for a long time. I would settle for selling a player or 2 if we can just get a winger and striker over the line, convinced if we can get a couple of dynamic players up there that it would transform us. Maybe we have to lose Cisse and Cabaye and use that money to bring in 4 players Winger, Striker, Striker, Centre Mid - more dynamic than Cabaye Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree we are running out of time fast. Logical solution would have been to dump Cabaye and Cisse for good fees (Prob 30 mil for the pair) and shake things up a little, bring in a couple of british players if we could or more direct attacking players. The club needed a good shake up following last season something that cunt down the road seems to be trying to do for them lot, may not work out for them but fair play. We just seem to be happy to retain all of the players that underachieved last season and aren't english. Need to be ruthless Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallace Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 We definitely need a striker at the very least even moreso if we are prepared not to play Cisse if there is no resolution to the Wonga thing. If we don't buy a striker, we will almost certainly be relegated as there is no way we can rely on Gouffran, Shola and Campbell to provide sufficient goals and anyway Shola is unlikely to stay fit for more than a game or two at a time. Despite how incompetent we appear to be at the moment, I just cannot believe Ashley would ultimately be willing to take that risk. The problem is how long will our supposed targets hang around for. If other clubs come in for then, I don't expect them to hang around for Newcastle to decide when they are going to actually put in a bid. With regards to selling players, if any other club came in for Cabaye, I would expect they would be confident of getting the player so they know they can take their time. If we are waiting to sell before we buy then we could run out of time. I just don't see why we can't afford to spend some of the TV money like every other club is doing so. No-one is asking them to spend a fortune but just buy the players we desperately need and anyway, they keep telling us (when it suits) that we are financially strong and don't need to sell any of our players.
