Disco Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Is there a good 1st team player we are prepared to pay for? (Apart from Colback) Am sure theres loads around who are valued at £8m+ where the clubs will accept under £7m Fat Sams insane transfers have really fucked up any chance of us taking a risk again, have we overpaid for anyone since? You could argue Anita...I wouldn't like but many would. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Aren't Cabella and de Jong totally different types of players? Shows how scattergun and value based the transfer policy is if that's the case. From what i have seen yeah but thats not NUFC's biggest issue when it comes down to it. The cheaper one will sign. Wouldnt mind Siem and Payet or similar though then its just a small matter of two strikers Good job strikers aren't usually expensive and hard to sign then Bendtner & Gomis, problem soled Lyon have rejected two clubs bids for that other striker by the looks of it. Maybe we have started underbidding on multiple fronts Should just about avoid relegation with those two, so job done. That said, I think you're being massively over-optimistic to think we'll sign two strikers while we've still got Cisse on the books. It'll be one of those at best.

True, make it one of those and a loan deal on 31 Aug for Carlos Kickabout Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuy_O Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Reminds me of the Debuchy saga somewhat. Fucking around for ages and now at the risk of someone else getting him after a potentially decent world cup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuy_O Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Possibly, i'm just not confident we'll actually sign him and this doesn't really help. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRD Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Ribery, Valbuena, Griezmann and Remy all ahead of him. A Ribery injury could change things though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Ribery confirmed out now, so maybe a starting spot. Just a dreadful day, as far as this transfer is concerned Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Well, I now fully expect him to have a break out tournament, and end up at Liverpool, from where he will continually assault us for the next 10 years. Congratulations to all involved in this whole process. Joe Kinnear and Lee Charnley take a bow. Your families must be very proud. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memphis Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Ribery out for sure - I'd say there's a very decent chance Cabella plays a relatively prominent role now. Lacazette might replace Ribery too, knocking off another potential target. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
