sempuki Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Back page of the Journal: we won't sell the players we don't want on the cheap. I guess trying to buy players with ridiculous fees is alright though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 One year left on his contract? We'll sell him. Imagine potentially losing out on £500k man, it would be a living nightmare. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Back page of the Journal: we won't sell the players we don't want on the cheap. I guess trying to buy players with ridiculous fees is alright though. there has to be a (non-humorous) term for that kind of perverse psychology when it comes to buying/selling - in general that is not just football, when someone is utterly uninterested in a deal unless the other guy is getting completely shafted. Whatever it is, Ashley suffers from it. I have a mate like that - buys nothing unless he's pretty sure the other person is losing money or at best just desperate to break even. Cheap, predatory fuck when it comes to economics. Delightful otherwise Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallace Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 By making it abundantly clear that we want to move certain players on, they are inviting low bids. They are such hypocrites where transfers are concerned as we look for out of favour players expecting to get them on the cheap. Anyway, virtually all of the players we want to sell will only go for small fees although I expect they probably want a decent amount for HBA and MYM. If HBA was at a different club, we would be in there offering a £1m take it or leave it offer. The way this club works is beyond comprehension at times. They create all their own problems so I have no sympathy for them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

r0cafella Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Not seen much of him - is he any good? He looks like a poacher to me. I think we need a player with more all around ability personally.

Dave Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Can't see why we would be trying to buy a player who is currently scoring goals on the biggest stage. Goes against pretty much everything we've done for years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Can't see why we would be trying to buy a player who is currently scoring goals on the biggest stage. Goes against pretty much everything we've done for years. Because he plays for a club in Mexico who are only known to a few locals and 90% of the N-O forum members who have been watching them over the last few years and they would take relatively low fee in order to part with him compared to the sums of money players go for in Europe.

alexthegreat Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 8 weeks until the season starts (10 until the window closes). We have maybe 5 Premier League standard forwards and midfielders. At the back Mike Williamson has established himself as our best centre half. I think only Debuchy and possibly Krul would get a game at a top 6 club. We desperately need proven Premier League quality to start arriving now. If the plan is to sign about 4 unproven players from abroad on the cheap and hope that's enough (and you have to suspect that is exactly what the plan is) then I really think we could be going down this season.

Aye think of the money we are saving by not paying these new players wages whilst they are on holiday. We didn't become the balance sheet champions by lashing money around right left and centre Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I basis this on the fact we already have a poacher in cisses who we don't create anything for. He's apparently a wide forward/striker in the same way Remy is. In fact the last season was his first upfront proper. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
