Teasy Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 So basically after Palace sign Cabaye, we, being the one club more than any other in desperate need to strengthen will be the only club to not have signed a player? As if Palace signing Cabaye is a forgone conclusion.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collage Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 We've opened talks with PSV over Wijnaldum according to De Telegraaf. 20 million Euros apparently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRC Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Not sure why we are monitoring him, we don't really need a number 10, would rather we monitored a winger, striker or centre back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufc4eva Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 De Telegraaf say a deal could be done today. I'm getting to the point where I just want us to come out and say "look we ain't signing players because it costs money, deal with it", at least it would be honest and up front. All the promise of a new coaching setup and willing to give Schteve a chance but then fail to equip him with players capable of a top 8 challenge and lumbering him with Williamson etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Oh I'm certain we will sign players. It's the standard we end up with I'm worried about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 On the one hand I am convinced Wijnaldum will have better options than us, and on the other hand I think we can do better deals than him even in Holland. He's a good player but I'm not sure he is what we really need. We already have a number of attacking midfield players, whereas we are really light in the winger department. I can't see him being happy playing right wing for us long term. If memory serves this was exactly the reason he left Feyenoord for PSV a few seasons ago.

Edit: what TRC said basically If it wasn't so unlike us to replace a player before selling, I'd be 100% convinced that this means Sissoko is off. As it is, I'm only about 95% certain of it. CM/AM really isn't where we should be looking at players tbh, we've already got De Jong, Marveaux and Cabella fighting for a spot there (Cabella only if we sign some wingers). We need CBs, wingers and strikers before we even start looking at CM/AM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, Sissoko leaving is the only logical explanation, but I can't see us get much more for Sissoko than what Wijnaldum would cost us, so that would make it a sideways move in every way imaginable.
