henke Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 There's a month left in the transfer window, anything could happen. I still fully expect Debuchy to be in our squad by the start of September. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sicko2ndbest Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Speaking of which i'm a bit confused as why our dealings are so much in the public domain this summer, not like Ashley tbh. It's the French side tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Speaking of which i'm a bit confused as why our dealings are so much in the public domain this summer, not like Ashley tbh. The same as last season and the season before. All the leaks seem to be coming from over in France and mostly do to do directly with the presidents of the clubs rather than it actually being leaks from our side.

colinmk Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Not sure why we value the French international right-back at 6m euros tbh. Must just be so confident of getting him they are taking the piss somewhat? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordie Ahmed Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 It must be bullshit when they said if player 'A' can't be bought they'll move on to player 'B' and so on... Time to give up on this fella and offer Simpson a better deal. http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lis9iaTsYC1qd3pl9.gif Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 There isn't ONE player out there with his quality and price that we could attract. Would improve us MASSIVELY! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wisdom Body Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 We might be able to play hardball over Carroll, but we have very narrow margins within which to do that in this case, since Lille don't need to sell him. If you want good Premier League-ready players - like Debuchy - you're inevitably going to pay more money. Like we did with Cissé, despite there being arguably less guarantees to his success in England. Otherwise you take a gamble on a cheaper player Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Shaun Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Ignacio Gonzalez, Xisco, Lamine Diatta, Fabrice Pancrate, Zurab Khizanishvili, Marlon Harewood, Shefki Kuqi. All panic signings made on deadline day or after as a result of leaving the squad short, and all made under Ashley. Are we dreadfully short at RB? Honest question. Simpson hasn't been sold yet. Debuchy would be an improvement, no question. But we also have another year before Simpson goes (most likely) and we have a number of players who can fill in there. I expect they realize this and so aren't going crazy throwing cash at lille trying to force this through immediately. It is a luxury signing. We have enough to cope without Debuchy, which is the basis of our lax attitude to signing him and playing the waiting game to get him cheaper, imo. Simpson "might" be sold if/when Debuchy comes in but Pardew had mentioned keeping Simpson either way. Exactly this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BooBoo Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Oh and the slightest offer for Simpson and we'll sell him. We'll not risk let him run his contract down. Perch at RB is more than likely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sifu Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 This transfer saga is really dragging on. I'm starting to get a bit worried now, really want him to come here and it probably comes as no surprise that it's the fee that's stopping this from happening. Still hoping for some good news before the start of the season... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 It was about this time 2 years ago that we thought Ben Arfa was on his way to Werder Bremen, we couldn't agree a loan fee for HBA, etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with all that is Santon would still be the only fullback who is comfortable in possession and good going forward. Which is why signing someone like Debuchy is so important. Signing a fullback is just as important as anything else this summer, when Simpson gets the ball attacks just break down immediately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasper Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Luxury signing? Improving a clear weak spot in our first team is "luxury"? Well thats an interesting way of thinking.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
