Guest bimpy474 Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Doesn't even make sense anyway, are they seriously suggesting we could decide to keep Debuchy at this point? If we were serious about this concept, any replacement would have been here weeks ago. I don't mean to defend the c*nts in charge, but bit hard to achieve that when the supposed replacement is playing at the World Cup. Plenty of other clubs seem to have managed. How many players have actually moved while playing at the World Cup? I personally can't think of any. New Barca GK. They may have struck a deal, not saying that. But the deal wasn't actually done until after Chile were eliminated. Had his medical 2 days after iirc. Sort of, it was announced before they went out, but things can be put in motion. We don't do that when there isn't a tournament, all the World Cup has done is give them a excuse to say it's difficult. It's not as if they ever miss an opportunity to tells us that whenever they can.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 And what special circumstances mean we have to do that? Because we were not in talks with Arsenal until mid tournament, we are obviously not going to pursue a player to replace someone if they are no talks with a buyer to begin with. If we where negotiating with Arsenal before the World Cup started and we decided we wanted Janmaat as his replacement before games were going on i'd agree. There's not a single transfer that's been going on during the WC which wasn't at least at the negotiation stage before the tournament started.

Heron Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 The Newcastle of old would have built upon one of the top 10 RB's in the world and one of the top 20/30 midfielder's. Along with a solid goalkeeper, pretty solid old centre half and a decent striker or two who can score 1 in every 2 or 3 games. Fuck me - the players we have seen come and go in these last 5 or 6 years is mental. Siem de Jong will just be the latest player to skip across the stepping stones, make his claim for a mediocre side then fuck off to somewhere bigger for a higher fee. It's obvious. If he fails, oh well - he didn't cost much. Trophies don't go to the club with the most financially sound bank account unfortunately, or for the support a team gets, it's a fucking massive shame not like - if they did we would be unstoppable. Mike Ashley and his fuckwit friends should fuck off to Syria in KKK attire waving the bible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teasy Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 The Newcastle of old wouldn't have signed them, they'd have signed older worse players on crippling contracts. Assuming we're talking about the Freddy Shepherd Newcastle of old of course. Unfortunately we've gone from an incompetent attention seeker to an evil greedy cunt.

Mole_Toonfan Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 'But the World Cup...' Hook, line and sinker. Yep, fallen for the s**** again. Not really, i'm not implying like Pardew is we can't buy players during the tournament or even negotiate with their clubs. Just saying that if they are playing at the tournament their managers are not exactly going to allow them to stroll off away from their national team squad and hold talks with us. Lets say if Rooney got an offer from someone and he was interested, not a chance in hell of Hodgson allowing him to sort it out mid tournament. That's the difference here, Pardew would imply that to players who are not even at the tournament and use it as an excuse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bimpy474 Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I'm amazed that people have swallowed the world cup line, honestly i can't believe it. Janmaat, we haven't even bidded for him yet, let alone had a bid accepted, we could do have done that at any time World Cup or not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying we couldn't have talked to the club or put in bid in, of course we could but we are not completing no deal without discussing personal terms with the player and no international manager will allow that to go on.

toontownman Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Think that any people still upset by this type of sale need to realise that part of our stategy in attracting players here is telling them this can be your "stepping stone club". This isn't new.. Right or wrong is how we have attracted players here. Hopefully they perform well and push the team higher or reclaim big fees when they move. Not that we couldn't attract similar or the same player with a different manager and selling angle but this is and has been for years our chosen selling angle. Always going to be someone leaving, probably even if we scale champions league fringes. This was the chosen outcome when Debuchy signed up. Can you not be aware of this strategy and also upset about the sales that result from it? For sure but it's a bit like agreeing to be in an "open relationship" and throwing the toys out of the pram when your partner runs off with another person.......................

You keep refering to the players, i'm not. I'm saying we could have bid and had a bid accepted at any time. Exactly the way Arsenal have done with Debuchy. Then you sit down with the player after their World Cup is over. And in the age of fax machines and the way players hold sway over everything it seems, i don't see how an International manager could stop it happening if the player really wanted it too. Players are far too powerful now, sadly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heron Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Neither of the teams in the world cup final I want to win it, the world cup is ending and club football comes back, and with a bang. We sign Ayoze Perez - okay maybe one for the future, I don't know. We sign Siem De Jong - Good signing but we all know the real reasons for it. Then we get rid of not one but two of our best players. Okay, Remy wasn't ours but he probably could and should have been. All that is left now is for Colo' to get f***ed in a pre-season friendly and Krul to be bought by someone half decent in Europe. We will be royally shagged. Anyone who thinks this is a good deal is a f***ing spastic. Seriously, I can feel nothing but depressed in the build up to what will be another shite season. The sooner the football kicks back in the better so maybe that feeling of hate surfaces again, then I can vent my own frustrations at the horrible, disastrous cancer that is ruining our club. I fucking hate them with a passion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why i keep mentioning the player because its not possible without the personal terms to have done that, no doubt we could have put a bid in when Arsenal contacted over Debuchy i'm not denying that.

I would say personal terms could be sorted by the agent, but i do agree about the player himself probably wanting to see things for himself.

Mole_Toonfan Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Aye i would question the sanity of anyone wanting to join this madhouse without seeing everything in person first Although i'd rather any potential signings to have as little contact with Pardew as possible myself.
