NG32 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Wonder who will be the first dickhead to claim £10m was an exceptional offer that was too good to turn down. I though tit was 8 rising to 12? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ste Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 So frustrating. Two players we've had leave in the last 6 and a bit months, and both for similar reasons. And both the best we have seen in their position for years. We have to remember that we support a football club. That £10m goes in the bank and it'll stay there until the next cheap player comes along, and the money that isn't used on the transfer fee will be set aside as wages across the whole contract. So a £3m player quickly becomes a £10m one to these clowns, with their 6 year contracts to protect their investment first and foremost. The World Cup has been class as a distraction, but all too soon it's back to the same Pardew tactics, the same gaps in the team that won't be filled until any one of our targets from option A to Z finds themselves almost out of contract or out of favour. Cabella, Grenier or Siem De Jong? We got the cheapest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Santon will go to right back before Ryan Taylor. I doubt Ryan Taylor will see any league action outside of the cup surrenders. Considering our lack of a set piece specialist after the departure of Cabaye, we might see Raylor more often than you think. Ryan Taylor from two years ago, sure. He is recovering from two consecutive serious knee injuries. I think this season will be entirely about career-rehabilitation in the hope of getting another contract in the lower leagues somehwere.

toontownman Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Think that any people still upset by this type of sale need to realise that part of our stategy in attracting players here is telling them this can be your "stepping stone club". This isn't new.. Right or wrong is how we have attracted players here. Hopefully they perform well and push the team higher or reclaim big fees when they move. Not that we couldn't attract similar or the same player with a different manager and selling angle but this is and has been for years our chosen selling angle. Always going to be someone leaving, probably even if we scale champions league fringes. This was the chosen outcome when Debuchy signed up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always going to be someone leaving, probably even if we scale champions league fringes. This was the chosen outcome when Debuchy signed up. Yeah, I think certainly when we signed Cabaye and Debuchy it was with the promise that we would let them leave if a Champions League club came in for them and offered a decent fee. In which case, it's important that we keep our word. Realistically, a lot of the players that could improve us would also attract the interest of CL clubs, so I daresay in some cases the club either makes that undertaking or loses the signing. I don't think this is a policy that goes back a long way though. Fearless Fred seemed to overcome a player's reluctance by throwing money at them.

Fuzzy Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Dunno if posted, but: http://www.getfootballnewsfrance.com/2014/total-agreement-reached-for-transfer-of-mathieu-debuchy/ total agreement for the transfer of Mathieu Debuchy has now been reached between all three parties involved. Arsenal have agreed a £10m fee for the player plus bonuses thought to be in the region of £2.5m. The player had already agreed a 4 year contract with the club earlier this week and will now seek to go on holiday. The signing and announcement of the transfer is imminent.

Mattoon Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 It wouldn't be such a problem if we were casting our net with the transfer money. Everyone understands we're a selling club now and a stepping stone for potential talent, it's just that Fatshit keeps shoving the money down his elasticated waste band instead of reinvesting to keep us ticking along, the fat sweaty mess. The idea should be to cash in, reinvest and slowly turn the team around, there's no need to "do a Leeds" if we just reinvest the inflated transfer fees we get for the likes of Cabaye and Debuchy. Instead the money keeps disappearing up the horizontally challenged ones black hole. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
