loki679 Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Well, we are one of the poorest clubs in the league. In our dire financial situation loans and a few cheap punts with a star or two out the door to balance the books is all we can expect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Zaha would be a great signing, if we had a coach who could focus his strengths. Instead of giving him the freedom to express himself, Pardew would just spend all his time coaching him on how to track back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Within a year, Zaha has gone from a big signing for Man U and an England international, to someone who struggles to get a game for Cardiff. He has seriously lost his way and I wouldn't take the chance on him. My feeling is that he's a good athlete who was very effective in the Championship but whose technical limitations have been exposed in the Premiership. I don't think it's a matter of him 'recovering form'. I think he needs to put in a lot of work on his game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

captainhaircut Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Zaha had Debuchy in lots of trouble when they came here. Got bags of potential. Somewhere like Everton could bring out a great player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 He didn't play a minute at the World Cup, so raising the price to €15m is a bit extreme. They'll probably settle for €12m up front. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bimpy474 Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 http://www.getfootballnewsfrance.com/2014/14149/ Can pay it, won't pay it. You read that, it says they want a deal with add ons taking the price up, i suppose based on success. Seeing as we have no intention of being successful a structured deal would be mint for us as we wouldn't any add ons Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRD Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Do those FM-type transfers. Low fee with a hefty add-on after he has played 100 games. Then sell him after 99 games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they're more to do with things like, qualifying for the Europa/Champions League, winning cups etc. Adding on a couple of million, like i said seeing as we have no intention of doing any of that, getting a deal set up like that would be brilliantly piss taking.

Ste Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Do those FM-type transfers. Low fee with a hefty add-on after he has played 100 games. Then sell him after 99 games. Or after 10 international caps, and you manage the nation he plays for and you have zero intention of selecting him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sempuki Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Cabella has just tweeted a picture of him jetting off on holiday, so that's our excuse for the next 1-2 weeks. Unless it is Whitley Bay of course. Can't see this one happening at all due to our past history with Montpellier and the fact that we won't spend the money they want.

toontownman Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Don't worry wont stop the press writing "Cabella jetted off on his holidays after giving strict instructions to his agent to have his destination finalized by his return" and endless waffle inbetween.

Guest bimpy474 Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 He wants to come, Montpellier want a decent price, we won't pay it. He won't sign as we're unreasonable, which is so dumb because sometimes you need to pay a little more to get that special player. Why do that when your aim is to just survive, that's why it's last year contracted players all the way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 why do that? --> keeping up appearances And the worst part, a good majority of our fans see that as us trying and showing ambition to get better players/compete with top clubs etc.. and to be fair on the flipside the rest of the fans are now so skeptical whether the interest would be genuine or not.

toontownman Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Yeah.. but while there are still people ready to pick up the season ticket space for those that have left there will be no change. Short sighted in the least because when that time happens, the hierarchy are going to have to pull a rabbit out of their ass to convince the jaded things can change and that they should come back and put more money into the club. On a transfer related note.. Ashley Young tenuously linked.. yuck, rather have Zaha Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlin Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Far too many fans WANT to believe the club is 'trying' to sign good players because to acknowledge that it won't pay the market rate for such players means that they look fools for parting with their money on STs - which they are.
