James Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Apparently Joe has a master plan. When PSG phoned and asked how much for Cabaye, Kinnear's said 20m and PSG offered 20m Euros (£14m). Joe managed to clear that up and PSG paid up anyway. Buoyed by his success he phoned Lyon about Grenier and when they said £20m he offered it in Euros thinking he could trick those Frenchies. He is learning, he should have a permanent transfer negotiated by 31st January 2017. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I think we would have a chance if £11m is the real asking price, no reason to believe it is mind. MAybe it is, maybe it isn't. But our next bid/s will probably show if we're willing to spend around that amount or not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest reefatoon Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 You keep reading about how much Ashley likes a gamble, but I have never seen such a pussy of a football club owner. He shows absolutely no sign of a gamble when it comes to us. Go on you bloated twatface, take a risk and splash a bit of money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisMcQuillan Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 BBC Latest: Lyon reject Newcastle bid, "clubs remain some way apart" and it remains to be seen if Newcastle will come back with an improved bid, looking like an increasingly difficult target.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 For £11m it's not really that much of a risk, if that's the actual price I would like to think we'd go for it. Extremely high chance of being able to sell him for double. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Sign him for £11/12m or whatever it is. We'll make a £10m profit when we sell him in a couple of years anyway.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 The usual fucking shit then, can't replace a player. Jesus Christ this club is an absolute farce Happens all the time like.

Yorkie Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 It's just daft, like. We've got absolutely shitloads of money because we never spend more than we bring in. And we've brought in loads. It's not the 'Arsenal model' either, or whatever cover-up hogwash it was they came out with a couple of years ago. It's the Newcastle model, because there isn't another club in the league who operates our transfer policy in the same way that we do. Whenever the transfer window comes around I really do feel like a mug supporting a club like this - NUFC circa 2010-. A club that doesn't want to invest and achieve things. I know that the actual sport in the sport has gradually depreciated in 'necessity' since capitalism clutched the opportunity - for everyone - particularly in this league - but I still don't think there's another team around with such an obvious willingness not to progress. I wish we had a modicum of ambition because the club, at the worst of times, has a lot of potential. Right now we're actually set up pretty well, certainly in terms of fanbase, financial stability and the crux of the playing staff. We could've made a genuine stab at the CL this year... and for us not to have spent a penny!?... just... buh. No sport. Hey ho. This post could've gone in any thread, like. Dunno.

Yorkie Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Speaks volumes about Ashley's faith in Pardew, by the way. The fact we haven't invested a penny after barely surviving relegation last season - even after last January's incomings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUFC_Chris Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Unless they don't really want him of course and purposefully put in low bids in the knowledge they'll be rejected. As Keegan said. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

morgs Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 According to aulas, he wants to keep the team together, and they already rejected 14m bid for gonalons, so to get grenier, they are saying we would have to probably offer at least that. French press say our bid was 13.5 million euros. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUFC_Chris Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I do find it hard to believe they're arguing over £1m - surely the difference in valuation has to be much greater than that! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thursday morning whinge. Good post. I thought you had to spend money to make money in football. I guess Ashley is happy with the amount of money finishing 7th to 17th brings in and wants nothing more for the future than to maintain that level. Yes we're safe but id swap positions right now with any of the clubs at the bottom because at least they are striving to improve themselves. I'm sick of it tbh pumping grands into this club each year for no ambition in return. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Brazilianbob Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 We all know the club never had any intention of replacing Cabaye. The muppets in charge are simply banking on us beating the mackems to make us forget Cabaye. Unfortunately that's unlikely to happen with Remy suspended hence the ridiculous appeal against the red card. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
