LFEE Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 France Football are reporting that Real Madrid want Mathieu Debuchy and are ready to offer €10m #NUFC you have competition. Real Madrid are ready to offer €10m which is €2m more than the €8m we thought Lille were holding out for? No... Lille were always hoping for €10m but some on here refused to accept it and insisted they only wanted €8m as fact... We'll find out for sure in next few days if the Madrid interest is genuine... Arbeloa has been in decent form of late but Debuchy has very similar qualities to Contrao so would make some sense having them playing either side...

We'll no wonder NUFC haven't got Debuchy if Lille want €10m for him. How many right backs have cost £8m (€10m is around £7.94m)? Gregory van der Wiel would be much more likely to be in our price range. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BooBoo Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 "Hey Danny, fuck you if you think for a second you're getting a new contract. Having said that, we're too inept to bring in your replacement so how's about you play right back for this season then do one in the summer." Wonderful management.

Hang on, no-one knows for sure what the official asking price is / was. Both €10m and €8m were quoted in equal doses off various different tabloids. If Real are intrested they could be offering €10m as they know we havnt got a hope in hell of competing with it. Blowing the competition out the water so to speak.

Sadly, we're not in that boat. Hopefully Lille will be out of the Champions League this time tomorrow and we can have one last effort from our board to get him.

Unbelievable Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 this has to be the biggest blunders MA make since 2009? Not at all. Lille is asking for a price that we don't think he's worth. It's pretty simple. It sucks, but it's cut and dry. So why not go for another RB? Surely there were back-up options. Van der Wiel turned us down.

Unbelievable Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I didn't know we had even bid for him. Was quite widely reported at the time of the Anita transfer. We tried to take them both, but Van der Wiel didn't want to come. http://www.vi.nl/nieuws/225575/Van-der-Wiel-ziet-transfer-naar-Newcastle-niet-zitten.htm http://www.telegraaf.nl/telesport/voetbal/ajax/12744673/__V_d_Wiel_wilde_niet_naar_Newcastle__.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BottledDog Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 We dropped our interest in Debuchy as soon as Simpson made it clear he would turn down the few offers on the table for him and would stay. Any further press pieces about upping bids etc was just media guff to keep the stories on one of the few actual targets they knew we had an interest in alive.

Not sure it was Simpson turning the offers down or the offers not being as big as the club expected but either way shifting Simpson off the books this window seems intrinsic to the Debuchy transfer...

Dave Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 One positive out of all this farce is that we can use the saved transfer fee and wages to offer Simpson a really good deal to stay on next summer. Possibly 10p more or something equally lucrative. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
