If we lose out on Debuchy for the sake of £1 million :lol:

 

For one thing, the reaction on here would be something to behold (admittedly, my reaction could very well be amongst the more "wild"/"OTT" ones). Still, there's 17 days for us to do something.

If Lille have shifted the goalposts by demanding more money after agreeing transger fee we should just pull out of the deal.  There is always a better player waiting on the background

It would fit in with Debuchy's comments. I think he is worth that money but if they are playing the twat I wouldn't want us to pander to them. If they have already moved the goalposts who is to say they won't do it again?

The club are taking the right approach, cave in and you start paying £15m for Fletcher.  :lol:

 

You know full well it isn't the same lol, we would be "caving in " to sign a international RB for 6m hardly being ripped off tbh and it's still a great deal.

 

I'm still confident that at some point between now and when the window closes that either Lille will accept what we give them or we give them a improved offer which they will accept.

 

None the less going from 5m to 6m is hardly "caving in".

Us being frugal isn't a terrible way to go in the financial climate of the game, and Pardew all but confirmed that at the talk-in last night. But it'd be absolutely fucking scandalous if we missed out on this player over the sake of £1m, regardless of the success we've had with this policy so far. You've got to find a medium somewhere; we can't forget that Cabaye and Ben Arfa were two of the bargains of the century at less than £5m each. You can throw Ba in with that, too. Surely we can afford to relinquish our stubbornness just a bit.

 

He's a fantastic player who would improve us immeasurably, and he wants to come here. There should be no excuses if we miss out on him.

 

I don't think it's about being frugal as we agreed a price for him. If his value's gone up since then they have the option to sell elsewhere, but not many clubs want to pay £6m for a 27 yr old full back with no resale value otherwise he'd have been signed already.

Agree with this.

 

The longer this goes on, the less interested I am in seeing him here. It might be a good idea to see how young Tavernier goes in the position before shelling out shitloads on a 27 year old.

How's it going James? I'm sure you'll get to play in the League cup.
