sempuki Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 For some reason this is on NewsNow at present: http://www.espnfc.co.uk/blog/scouts-notebook/78/post/1853502/mapou-yanga-mbiwa-en-route-to-the-top Sounds like a decent player, we should be in for him. Out of our price range. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sempuki Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 There are very few sides worldwide who would not benefit from a player of Yanga-Mbiwa's quality We're that good. Not many teams can say they have a player like Williamson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
duo Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Still can't believe how badly Pardew managed this lad......would ruin any player to loose your place to Wlliamson. Barely got a look in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timeEd32 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 In many ways this is Pardew's biggest crime, especially now that he's fucked off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest antz1uk Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 it's got my blood boiling, then all the press in a couple years will be like, that Yanga Mbiwa is a great defender. no shit sherlock!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

simonlemagnifique Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 No sources, and the Mag don't half print some shite, but... http://www.themag.co.uk/the-mag-articles/roma-drop-mapou-yanga-mbiwa-avoid-contract-clause-buy/ During the winter break, Sky Sport Italia broke the story that there was a clause in Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa’s loan agreement, which meant that if the Frenchman played twenty times during his loan spell then AS Roma are obliged to make the deal permanent with a £5.5m transfer fee. This news was covered widely in the Italian press with the expectation that Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa was on the verge of completing a permanent move to AS Roma once the January window opened. mapou yanga-mbiwaMoving on loan to Rome just before the summer transfer window closed, the French international had become Roma’s best and most consistent defender. Getting his chance early due to injury, Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa kept his place and established himself in the heart of the defence. In the process, the on loan defender played a total of seventeen times before that winter break in Italy, including two as a sub, winning back his place in the French national squad in the process. The two matches before the winter break saw Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa and his defensive team-mates continue their good work, keeping clean sheets against both Genoa and AC Milan. The January transfer window opened but with no immediate permanent deal completed for the on-loan Newcastle defender. Then to the amazement of both the Roma fans and the Italian press, Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa was dropped for the first game after the winter break against Udinese, then left on the bench for the derby with Lazio. Over the course of the two matches, Roma used six substitutes in total but ignored Mapou. The story emerging in Italy is that Roma are holding off playing Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa to avoid triggering the £5.5m buying clause and are giving themselves a couple of matches leeway in case they need him in an emergency. The Italian club hoping that they negotiate a better deal in the summer or preferably this month. Any chance of Mike Ashley agreeing to buy in January appears to rest on funds being generated by the sale of players, if players who aren’t wanted such as Mapou can’t be sold on this month, then the chances of seeing a much needed striker and/or (ironically) a centre-back appear to be minimal. With Roma only three points behind leaders Juventus and nine points clear of the third placed club, it will be interesting to see how Mapou’s loan club react if either Astori or Manolas (the pair who have played the last two matches) get injured.

LFEE Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I believe its true regarding the 20 game trigger as read it before in a couple of places and did wonder if this would happen as his appearances had stalled for no apparent reason. Bring him back with HBA and give them both to the new Head Coach. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Our best chance of getting him back is if the Italians try to strong arm Ashley over the fee. One thing the fat cunt can't abide is someone trying to stiff him over money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Find it impossible to believe they don't want to trigger the buyout clause. Seems a bargain. Well look at us, we were arguing over 100k when we signed Robbie Elliott. Clubs do like to try it on. It would be mint if Roma lost their chance of signing him as a result.

Wallace Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 If they are not playing him to avoid triggering a clause in his contract, something will have to give because they can't keep him on the bench for the rest of the season and Ashley won't like another club playing him at his own game.

Teasy Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Jesus I thought we were stingy, Roma are on another level if this is true. One of their best performers all season and they're pulling a trick like this to try to save a million or so, obviously won't work either. I mean only a total mong would believe he's just lost his place in the teams. Not a chance Ashley will let himself get played either. Especially when the main driving force behind Yanga-Mbiwa going to Roma is now gone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Can't see Mapou being happy to sit out half a season just to stay there. On the flipside equally as stupid that we don't recall him when we need a CB. I guess the recall fee must be more money than we deem worth it.. Eg; 1p and up... We will absolutely play hardball with them. The club wants rid, if we recall him, Roma get money off us and maybe still get to sign him at a reduced fee in the summer. We will try and force their hand into playing him and activating his buy clause. No doubt Mapou and his agent will be pushing them as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
