LFEE Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Will be interesting to hear what AP says regards transfers at the talk in on the 13th as he is normally quite candid and he's bound to be asked... Anyone on here going?... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 We've missed out on a major coup here, the worst thing is Pardew probably knows this aswell, but cannot do a thing about it. Would be much better if Pards was given a set budget and just went after his targets with the help of Carr. Like in the good old days which good old days are those ?

AlanSkÃrare Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I think this one is dead. I reckon we'll go for someone else or a left back instead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sicko2ndbest Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I think AP really had to sell this one to Mike because of the age. Mike probably said you can have him but only at ... Price. This price was rejected and now it's stalemate Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Starting to believe this one is dead, but hopefully I'll be pleasantly surprised when we go back with a better bid. Don't really blame the club if it doesn't go through, it's frustrating for fans but they have to stick to their guns on transfers or we're on the road back to being a laughing stock. He would be a class signing, but if he's too expensive then c'est la vie. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I think AP really had to sell this one to Mike because of the age. Mike probably said you can have him but only at ... Price. This price was rejected and now it's stalemate He's 26 not 32 FFS, his best years are ahead of him. It doesn't matter what the age is, we've refused to budge so far on our valuation of the player and it's died on it's arse. Hopefully something gives, but it has gone very quiet.

Dinho lad Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Are people believing it's dead simply because of the thread title change? Dudes..... this deal was dead ages ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest reefatoon Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 If this deal is dead, I hope we go back to trying to sign a left back (move Santon on the right). As I think a left footed fullback is still of desperate need. We were all hoping to sign a left back when the season finished, then we were linked with Debuchy and we all seemed to forget about getting a leftback in. So again, if this one is dead, lets get back to trying to sign a left back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilson Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Seriously, where has this mentality that 26 is old cropped up from? Thinking this myself (although I thought he was 27). Joke tbh...but I think people are seeing it from ashleys point of view IE thinking of resale value. Which imo, is also a joke considering we could get a genuinely top class player for the next 4/5 years for under 10m. I actually now hope he kicks up a fuss after reading garcia's comments.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I don't think Ashley's concern is with 'resale value' as such, it's just a business decision not to spend money on assets that will depreciate too quickly. And he has shown flexibility, as in the case of Cisse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So again, if this one is dead, lets get back to trying to sign a left back. This is still possible. When Pardew moved Santon to RB in the second half against ADO I was thinking to myself that Debuchy is not as sure as I thought it was. This is close to being as sad as analyzing Jose's body language but still. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

While Debuchy would be a top class addition I always felt a left footed full back was a priority as Santon is a natural right back in any case. If we don't get Debuchy I still think we should push the boat out to get a genuine replacement for Enrique. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
