I wouldn't be happy but at the same time what's the point of keeping an unhappy player? We'd have a contingency plan if such a thing happened. We're a club who's prepared these days.

Of course, but it's not easy for a club like Lille to replace a France international and probably their best player. I have no problem with the way Lille are doing this. It's what we have said about our club earlier. The the replacement in before selling the player. The only way to do it.

 

They're not a club that can attract great players and at the same time their best players want to leave. It sucks for them but it's reality.

The last two seasons they have brought in Roux, Payet, Kalou, and Marvin Martin. Honestly, they've replaced their outgoings quite well. It is a very well-run club.

 

Promising young players yes (except Kalou) but not great players (yet). That's about what they can expect as a club. Buy promising players and develop them.

 

A bit like us then really.

 

We certainly run the club in a similar way at the moment, though that's were the similarity ends.

 

I met the owner of Lille, Michel Seydoux, a couple of years ago. He said (then) that Newcastle were the worst club he had ever dealt with.

 

What dealing had we done with them? Rozehnal?

Nope that was PSG. Don't remember any dealings with Lille before Cabaye.

I might get this wrong Golfmag, but is that necessarily a bad thing?

Its negotiations, it can be quite rough at times. And i guess other owners, as business men, understand to a point that we have to protect our own investments.

Or was it more in the line that we was being complete belleds in general?

Can't blame them for wanting to keep him even though they know he wants away. They know the endgame is imminent and just want to be in the best position they can be. They're not daft and they're not bending over either.

 

If we want him then we're going to have to play the game.

They're no idiots. They know the situation, they know what game we're playing and are digging their heels in thusly.

 

They're basically trying to out-Newcastle, Newcastle.

They've been doing quite well recently so if they're trying to do an us they should fall apart due to a string of bad, rash and just plain stupid decisions soon.  Then we can swoop :)
