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.  :clap:

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.

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...

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.

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.

Some right drama queens. :lol:

 

To put it lightly. :lol: This place without football is very :anguish:

 

Still confident we'll get him eventually, probably near the end of August, both sides are waiting to see who'll blink first.
