Dyeyzzon Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 One positive out of all this farce is that we can use the saved transfer fee and wages to offer Simpson a really good deal to stay on next summer. Possibly 10p more or something equally lucrative. Look, I'm all for upping his wages but we really shouldn't be doubling them. I'd up it but not beyond what is unfair. If he's still earning Championship wages of 10k or less, I'd up it a bit but never up to the 30k mark like he wants. On the topic of Debuchy, I'm actually hoping this pulls through as I'm not sure how Cabs would react if we fail, especially with the rumours making the rounds lately.

Guest BooBoo Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Not signing anyone will send out a negative message to our top players that essentially last year was as good as it gets. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtype Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Wouldn't be surprised if the club think we can get him on our terms in January when he's played half a season unhappy and Lille are probably out of the Champions League. Playing the waiting game worked out with Cisse, after all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

aussiemag Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Lille's game tonight will shine a little more light on this whole saga. Lets hope the cunts lose. In all seriousness though i really like Lille. Met one of their fans in a coffee shop in Amsterdam prior to the 2010/11 season, he was a top bloke. Offered me and my friends to stay with him in Lille and get us free tickets to the match. Bloke was an absolute pot head so we kindly declined invitation. But i remember him raving about the quality of Lille's side prior to that season. He loved Debuchy, Cabaye, Sow, Hazard, Gervinho and Adil Rami. I thought he was just an over enthusiastic fan at the time, but boy did they have a good squad that season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kasper Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Yeah, agree about how the first team would feel if this one signing before the transfer window shuts doesn't happen. Well im pretty sure there would be some dissapointment. How are they different from us in that respect? Im certainly dissapointed in our business this summer if we dont sign anyone else for the first team and I'd expect the bigger players of the squad to feel the same. Dont see whats so laughable in that... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiftynotout Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Journal reckons we will not be back in for him and we are only interested in a striker - says Dekka is going to the Europa draw on Friday (presuming we get through!) and do not expect any outgoings either.

The feeling I have, and this is all conjecture, is that the club is going to make Carroll the first priority and push Liverpool hard in the remaining few days. I'm pretty sure we'll be back in for Debuchy in January and I think there's a good chance we'll succeed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BottledDog Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Lille chairman Michel Seydoux claims failure to qualify for the UEFA Champions League group stage would not force the club to part with Mathieu Debuchy. Were they to drop out of Europe's premier club competition on Wednesday, interest in Debuchy is likely to intensify. Seydoux, though, maintains that he will not be forced into a sale and remains optimistic regarding Lille's chances of turning the Copenhagen tie around. He told L'Equipe: "If we fail to qualify for the Champions League would I be forced to accept Newcastle's proposal? You know that I am not very flexible when it comes to business. "We didn't show enough fighting spirit during the first leg in Denmark but I feel we found that last Saturday against Nice (in a 2-2 draw)."

Like he knows Ashley is staying at a hotel around the corner, waiting to pounce, should Lille tumble out. You really do get the impression that he seems almost offended by our miserly, yet importune, penny-pinching offers! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledGeordie Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Lille Chairman is never going to sell to us. Simpson isn't the best (stating the obvious) but he's a decent professional and far from the worst full back around. Santon can cover right back, Anita can cover left back, Perch/Raylor can cover RB & LB, Tavernier/Ferguson maybe options.. Maybe not the greatest backups but I'd say if we're only going to bring one player in striker has probably become more important. Shola is constantly injuried and the Dembas will be off to the ACON in Jan so we definitely need another body in that department. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
