Guest BooBoo Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 At least we have Good. Seriously though, how bad's this summer been? Nothing of any great interest has happened. We've seen before what a bullshit summer can do to a team's progression. This could be the summer of 2003 all over again. Not good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Missed out on arguably one of the best right backs in Europe right now over a million or euros, what an absolute clanger. Stuck for another season with that cunt Simpson at RB I would expect. Cant grumble too much the way things were last season etc.... but we've really missed a trick here. Full international right back... French... desperate to join... and we still miss out. Ridiculous. The transfer window isn't closed yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

madras Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Can't fault Lille at all here. We're taking the p*ss with that offer and expecting Lille to cave beause the player wants to come here. If Tiote came out and said he wanted to join Man United and they offered 8m or so I'd expect Ashley to do the exact same. hes 27 6 million plus add ons should be more than enough. hes only a right back Go to bed. its a good offer why should they want more? How is it a good offer for an attacking international RB who not only is good in defence but provides an attacking outlet too.... only a RB mentality is one of the most short sighted posts i have read on here. fullbacks are one of the most important positions in the modern game because if they are good at going forward they can act as an extra player in attack. 8m euros is cheap for a player of Debuchy's quality, also 27? 27 is young players don't just suddenly decline when they go past 25. but their values do decline, hence why a Zlatan Ibrahimovic has moved for less on his last two moves despite having very good seasons.

True, but 8m euro's is still a very good deal for us even though he's 27 and he's just turned 27. He's still got at least 5 years at the top level. Anyway, hope we come back but if not move on.

Guest BooBoo Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Said weeks ago that I had a bad feeling about this deal. We've spent far too long fanning about and the season's a fortnight away. Shambles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Tiote came out and said he wanted to join Man United and they offered 8m or so I'd expect Ashley to do the exact same. Eh. what has the club done wrong, Lille are changing the goalposts. We eventually bid the 6m Euro's they want, they then want 8m Euro's. did they originally want 6mill euros ? 6m pounds, 8m euros I thought. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 If we do miss out it is basically over the sake of somewhere between £750k and 1.5 million. I get the whole driving a hard bargain thing, but it seems daft not to just cough up. Or meet them half way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUFC_Chris Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 We need to forget Debuchy & move on to other targets. We aren't offering what the player is worth & we can't expect teams to hand over their players for peanuts just because they want to leave. We've been quite cuntish about this whole transfer imo.

Bullshit imo. Look for other targets is pointless, we aren't going to find one who's better than Simpson for less than the price Lille want for Debuchy. He's very good, he wants to come and the price is reasonable. What's the problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
