Ketsbaia Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 It'll be interesting if he had a straight choice between us and PSG. Hope we just hurry up and bid tbh, it'd be stupidity to miss out on him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrettNUFC Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Quotes from Leonardo this morning saying that PSG want to speak to Debuchy. This is like when you’re out in toon and you've had your eye on a lass all night, catching her eye, you can tell she wants you, so you go over and share a few words, bit of dance. You head to the toilet to weigh up weather to go in for the kill or not... is she really worth one?.... then you come back out to see your best mate fingering her on the dance floor. All the hard work gone in a moment, devastation instantly kicks in and you feel physically sick. Whole night has now become a shambles and a complete waste of time.

You come back from the toilet. Kick your mate in the balls, take the lass home and take her from behind while Cabaye, dressed in full NUFC kit, watches from the end of the bed and encourages you. Come on Mathieu! You know you want to be that lass. http://funny-pictures-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/LOLPics---Soon.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 @inochi I think we did have a say in when and how much we bid, but we can never really know whether it was just Lille shifting the goalposts, or us being tight. It's more that we perhaps shouldn't have allowed this kind of situation to present itself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 He's said he wants to move to a different league, preferably England. Not sure I'm too concerned about PSG being involved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If PSG bid what Lille wants, or more. We lose our bargain pole tbh. Then they will absolutely not accept a lower bid from us then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

madras Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 @madras. Read what I said about being tight/shifting goalposts. and if the goalposts had been shifted what could we have done to prevent this situation happening ? the only way would have been to offer more than they asked.

Doctor Zaius Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 The most frustrating thing about this whole saga is that Debuchy is absolutely perfect for us. Good right backs aren't easy to find and I couldnt think of a better option than this lad. Especially given he openly wants to come here and it's a position we desperately need an improvement in.

Guest firetotheworks Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Nothing could have been done. That's why I mentioned the two options. If it was us being tight/playing funny buggers with bid amounts (which I think is more likely) then we've been a bit daft to let other teams start sniffing about.

Dave Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Maybe someone can post the full quotes? http://www.lequipe.fr/Football/Actualites/Leonardo-n-est-pas-inquiet/307835 Debuchy is a very good player. His agent is the same as Bodmer. So, we can say that we have already talked about him. But we have never sent an offer. It was never discussed with Lille. Further quote from everywhere else: For right-back, we think we can do better if we look outside France. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was us being tight/playing funny buggers with bid amounts (which I think is more likely) then we've been a bit daft to let other teams start sniffing about. I don't think it is being tight. After his euro exploits it's not like he's a 'hidden gem' yet no-one else seems to want to meet lille's expectations on fee. it's down to his age imo and clubs don't really want to spend that sort of money on a full back they'll possibly get very little financial return on.

Mole_Toonfan Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Apparently he's just spoken to his agent and Seydoux has said many times he would never sell to PSG. In any case i'm not that bothered because i think he will stay at Lille tbh and we will look at alternatives before the deadline. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
