Guest Roger Kint Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 If Sky are correct and Lille want near £6m then our next bid will probably come close to their valuations. I cannot really see what's so laughably bad about this bid. Same here, when it comes to a club offering £6m over three installments or £4m cash up front then its not bad at all. Decent starting offer imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenham Mag Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 75% hopeful that we'll get him. I think the £4 Million is them trying to lose no money for an upgrade on Simpson (a tad optimistic). I think they'll up their bid soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

themanupstairs Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 It all depends on him really. If he wants to come here, he will force his club's hand to accept the closest valuation. Player power these days dictates this type of transfer. As someone said just above, Lille should expect a transfer request soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_69 Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 If Sky are correct and Lille want near £6m then our next bid will probably come close to their valuations. I cannot really see what's so laughably bad about this bid. Was thinking exactly the same. If they value him at £12m and we bid £4m that's laughable. Bidding £2m below the valuation is not. Maybe he just likes to laugh at unfunny shit? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrisjraby Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Why is it we have to try and jeopardise the position we're in by sending in a shitty offer like that?! Just cough up the extra 2 bloody million for christ's sake. how does it jeopardise the position ? if anything it unsettles the player and we may get him cheaper. also seems interesting that we make a bid when it's unlikely we'd be able to immediatly negotiate with the player, wink wink. It's more the fact that, if the papers can be believed, other clubs (for example Inter) are readying offers, so we could steal a march on them and perhaps scare other clubs off. It seems silly to quibble over an extra 2 million when, at that price, we'd still be getting a fantastic player for almost a pittance (how much was Hutton again?)! Don't get me wrong, if we REALLY think we could get him cheaper then that's obviously worth a shot, but thus far it seems Lille have been quoting the same figure for a long time and it's not that far over what we've offered. If someone came in and offered 2 million more than us and signed him, would you not be annoyed? Obviously it's all hypothetical but you know what I mean.

Mole_Toonfan Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 4m? i dont blame for laughing at it tbf, i would too..... i'm confident we can agree a fee with them the only issue is a bigger and richer club comes in and turns his head. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 If the reports are correct then they value him at £6m, we came in a £4m. That's how negotiations work, you go in low and hopefully can meet in the middle (depending on how stubborn they are and/or how much they really value the player). What would have been laughable is if we immediately faxed their 'valuation', which probably would have achieved little more than change the title of this thread to "£6m bid made for Mathieu Debuchy, laughed at by Lille coach".

bowlingcrofty Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Why do people react this way every time? You bid low, and work your way up. Or you bid low, wait and play brinkmanship. Either way you don't start with a massive bid - some of you must be shit at haggling. Never go to a Moroccan market! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Get £2m in for Simpson pretty much in the bag, offer £5m ish. If we could manage that, it would be a superb bit of business. A massive upgrade on Simpson for around 3.5 million quid. Perhaps they are waiting on someone to actually show interest in Simpson? WOuld guess we'll up our offer either way. Come on QPR, make a bid FFS! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 £4m bid for Debuchy, the max we will pay for Clyne would be £5m, I could see Ashley reaching a point where he's not prepared to pay anymore and play the games that will come with his club and his agent.
