Parky Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 As I said a couple of days ago we aren't offering anywhere near 11m and now everybody is wasting each others time. On top of that it seems there was never a come and get me type scenario reg this player who has been in and out of the team and probably using the move as a bargaining chip. The giveaway is that if WE WERE SERIOUS this would have all been hammered out before the window opened. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BottledDog Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 When was the last time we had decent enough cover across the whole squad? How many clubs can ever really say that though? Honest question. I'm saying decent cover, look at the likes of Stoke and West Brom their squads are much deeper in terms of quality and if we can't compete with them in terms of squad size then we really have major issues as a club. We have a squad of 49, West Brom 40, Stoke just 36. Ok that's just in terms of numbers, but while I may be underestimating how good some of their players might be, looking through the lists I'm still really struggling to see this 'much deeper in terms of quality' claim. You've just counted the last squad number ffs. That would mean some teams have 99 as some players carry those numbers. :lol: Do'h. /Still got the same or bigger squad than both of them mind. And still struggling to see the extra quality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only department we are healthy in is midfield. Both Stoke and West Brom have players that can come in after they get 2 injuries or more, we simply don't.

Rich Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 We've used 31 players this season, if that's any help to anyone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Its not the squad numbers that are the problem we have a big enough squad the problem is quality. Sell all our deadwood for EL level players matter about CL level and no one would complain about the squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 His agent has been told to find him a move to Germany, even though he wants to move to Newcastle? It's obviously the fee which is the sticking point. Again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 We always just need to pay slightly more than we're willing to pay to get whatever player we want. Weird how it works out like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what's been reported and what hasn't tbh, I was just going off Ian's quote that his agent has been told to look for clubs in Germany despite the player wanting to come here. If he would prefer to come here, the only reason I can think of that he won't is because we won't agree a fee. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 My point was intended as 'who told his agent to move him to Germany if he wants to move to England?'

Wilson Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Cant see Arsenal signing him, unless Walcott has told them to f*** off. Aye, he may not have f***ed them off just yet but Arsenal are preparing for the worst, imagine, putting ground work in for the replacement of a top player who is likely to leave.....madness.
