NG32 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Clément Grenier's agent says player has decided to stay at Lyon http://trekmovie.com/wp-content/uploads/amoktime/spock_plaktow.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
duo Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 What's his agent on about? Most ridiculous reasoning I've ever heard for a player not wanting to come here. (Not that he was ever in a position to actually come here.) Really? Seems pretty obvious to me. We've clearly offered too little for him, both in terms of fee and wages. Yep....we sell a player for £20mil...we offer a younger, highly talented player half that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonsays Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Cabaye has gone for Champions League and you can't blame him for that. But this regime spouts on as if we're the size of Norwich or Hull. Their stewardship saw us relegated and we've been made to think small ever since. Even after we got 5th, points away from a Championsleague spot, our transfer activity represented that of a newly promoted club. If we acted like the club we all know we're meant to be, then maybe the likes of Cabaye won't be so desperate to leave. He left a club that would have given him champions league football to come to us. It's money that really matters these days. Although obviously a club that has a chance of winning trophies helps too.

JH Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Two windows, two loan signings, the loss of a key player and we're wrong to be frustrated? Aye areet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big difference between staying at a team that will be also-rans in the competition and moving to a team that could potentially win it though. No doubt in my mind that he'd have went to PSG even without a pay rise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 He probably knows we're taking the piss and cannot be arsed with having his career muddled about with a day before the transfer window closes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaltimoreBasedMag Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 The money stuff I get if we offering substandard wages. However if this guy is turning down a move to us because he does not want to be seen as "Cabaye's replacement", then is that really the guy you want to bring in mentality wise? Seeing as Cabaye made this team tick (more or less). Just saying you would want someone up for the challenge, all other factors being the same.

Am I getting this wrong but I got the impression he means he doesn't want the pressure of succeeding cabaye? Surely a fee is between two clubs and shouldn't affect a players ego! Might be wrong but I got feeling he bottled it. Mind club should've known all about this before Christmas let alone cabaye bid coming in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ToonZA Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Way I read it, he turned us down for financial reasons as he doesnt feel we value him as much as Cabaye. Not sure whether we can turn this one around tho. Looks like the bridge has been burnt down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be wrong but I got feeling he bottled it. Mind club should've known all about this before Christmas let alone cabaye bid coming in. It sounds like the player just wants to see what his options are at the end of the season. Whether Lyon are back on the up or whether a CL club comes sniffing around. That's understandable. If it was Chelsea or Man U in for him I'm quite sure he wouldn't be bothered about the transfer fee or who he was replacing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bimpy474 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Clement #Grenier has rejected a move to #Newcastle. Playmaker insulted at #NUFC’s offer, his agent has told Le 10 Sport. (via @RBairner) You wonder how fucking shit it must have been And some still deny we put in bids just to say we tried.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
