madras Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 @inochi I think we did have a say in when and how much we bid, but we can never really know whether it was just Lille shifting the goalposts, or us being tight. It's more that we perhaps shouldn't have allowed this kind of situation to present itself. by offering more than they wanted in the first place ?

High Five o Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 He's said he wants to move to a different league, preferably England. Not sure I'm too concerned about PSG being involved. If PSG bid what Lille wants, or more. We lose our bargain pole tbh. Then they will absolutely not accept a lower bid from us then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

madras Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 @madras. Read what I said about being tight/shifting goalposts. and if the goalposts had been shifted what could we have done to prevent this situation happening ? the only way would have been to offer more than they asked.

Doctor Zaius Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 The most frustrating thing about this whole saga is that Debuchy is absolutely perfect for us. Good right backs aren't easy to find and I couldnt think of a better option than this lad. Especially given he openly wants to come here and it's a position we desperately need an improvement in.

Guest firetotheworks Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Nothing could have been done. That's why I mentioned the two options. If it was us being tight/playing funny buggers with bid amounts (which I think is more likely) then we've been a bit daft to let other teams start sniffing about.

Dave Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Maybe someone can post the full quotes? http://www.lequipe.fr/Football/Actualites/Leonardo-n-est-pas-inquiet/307835 Debuchy is a very good player. His agent is the same as Bodmer. So, we can say that we have already talked about him. But we have never sent an offer. It was never discussed with Lille. Further quote from everywhere else: For right-back, we think we can do better if we look outside France. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

After his euro exploits it's not like he's a 'hidden gem' yet no-one else seems to want to meet lille's expectations on fee. it's down to his age imo and clubs don't really want to spend that sort of money on a full back they'll possibly get very little financial return on.

Mole_Toonfan Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Apparently he's just spoken to his agent and Seydoux has said many times he would never sell to PSG. In any case i'm not that bothered because i think he will stay at Lille tbh and we will look at alternatives before the deadline. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
