BONTEMPI Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I know him very well, he's a very good player but he could struggle because of Pardew's managing. He's not that kind of player that could fit easily in any team, like Cabaye. He shows his best when his team play "good football". He can make the team play better, he can make Remy score a lot of goals, he can help getting a lot more from Ben Arfa, but in a team which tries to play "good football". Can you ask him if he's signing then? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 so how about we pay 18mill, we could get him for 12mill, thats 6mill we could use elsewhere. don't you remember where luque,smith, martins , owen etc left us ? the man city's, chelseas, PSG's of the football world can say " I couldn't give a f*** about balance sheets/profits/future sales." unfortunately, we can't. Why does it concern you how much we pay for a player? I doubt the fans of those clubs give a shit about how much they pay either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

morgs Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 According to french press aulas turned down 17m euros for gonalons so they reckon we will have to offer at least that for grenier. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

madras Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 come on then, loads of folk spouting the "just pay up and sign him " line, so, how far would you go ? if true we've upped to £11mill how far should we go on a player most of us hadn't heard of till about 10 days ago ? Whatever it takes, I couldn't give a f*** about balance sheets/profits/future sales. I care about the team, and replacing an integral part of it. Sure he might not be worth it, that's an inherent risk in any transfer. It's Ashely's money not mine, sign him ASAP so how about we pay 18mill, we could get him for 12mill, thats 6mill we could use elsewhere. don't you remember where luque,smith, martins , owen etc left us ? the man city's, chelseas, PSG's of the football world can say " I couldn't give a f*** about balance sheets/profits/future sales." unfortunately, we can't. I could have sworn we got a load of tv money and sold our best player for 20m plus? so ? does that mean we have to waste it ? hey we have more money lets buy another luque.

alexf Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 haha probably. But loads of ours have said similar in the past. That they are happy at newcastle but in football you never know what might happen etc. That's basically all he's said. So he doesn't upset his club if he ends up staying and he also doesn't offend us if he does come. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 If it was up to madras we'd never pay good money for any player. Sick of reading the same drivel every window.

Jack Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I know him very well, he's a very good player but he could struggle because of Pardew's managing. He's not that kind of player that could fit easily in any team, like Cabaye. He shows his best when his team play "good football". He can make the team play better, he can make Remy score a lot of goals, he can help getting a lot more from Ben Arfa, but in a team which tries to play "good football". To be fair, we have played a lot more football on the deck this season, just maybe not great in oppositions half at times and waste a fair few chances That's right, the last match for example was good. What I want to mean is if you get this kind of player, you need a good game plan to go with. Sometimes Pardew give me the feeling that he doesn't know what he wants, like he did with Ben Arfa. But if he wants to build around Grenier in a 4-3-3, or a 4-4-2 with a 10 and two strikers, with technical players, with short passes, I think it's a very good idea to get him. Otherwise Cabella can be a better solution. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 When people say "pay them whatever they ask" i don't think they mean it literally like here's £10m extra more than needed to get the player... But we often offer way below a players value, and most of all we seem to refuse to go any/much higher. Starting low is always good, but sometimes you have to pay a bit extra to get the player.
