Adrian Mariappa stays at Watford


Recommended Posts

doesn't mean they won't accept our offer later on,  mariappa may hold out for us and refuse discussion with wigan.  that would force watford's hands.

Can't believe we're trying to screw them over for probably a few hundred grand.  :lol:

 

This.

 

If we got him for £2.5m, and we got into Europe, perhaps due to more defensive stability, wouldn't the £700k increase be justified in increased revenue?

 

Dear me. 700k is not exactly pocket money is it?

On the other hand, why spend another £700k if we don't need to? I can see it being £2m in the end. Possibly a summer friendly at their place agreed like we've done in past with Griffin at Stoke and Jenas at Forest.

It seems insane in the long run to risk not signing him.

 

Say we don't get him, and Coloccini takes a long-term injury (God forbid).  Then Perch is in there for long-term.  The loss of points associated with that will result in lower league places, which means we'll get less revenue and it'll probably cost us more than the £700k in the first place.  Where's the sense in that?

Llambias: 'We won't go any higher than £1.8m'

Watford: 'We want £2.5m'

Wigan: 'We'll give you £2.5m'

Watford: 'Deal. You can talk to him'

Llambias: '*Phew* Now time to tell every one we tried :yao:'

Mariappa: 'Wigan? :yao: Newcastle I want to join you!'

Llambias: ':scared: Now what do I do?'

 

:lol:

Am I right in thinking the offer accepted from Wigan was believed to be £2.5m?  Would like to think we'd be prepared to match that and get him in.  £700k increase, hardly breaking the bank for defensive cover which is essential if we're going to push for Europe.

 

Fuck that, let's get him for 1.8, they'll have no choice. :yao:

 

Blatantly Mike who changed the threat title btw.

 

:lol: My shit got shot down real goddamn fast.

 

They only need you for like 6 hours a day while they're sleeping, but they couldn't say that outright. :lol:

 

I've been told it was an Affirmative Action thing.
