KaKa Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Pardew quotes at the Derby press conference on Friday ''Well you know, we bidded what we thought the players' true valuation was. That obviously didn't match up to what Lyon thought so we move on' ''If a club doesn't want to sell then there is not much you can do'' ''Didn't have much time to get a replacement in. When you sell a player so close to the end of the window you leave yourself vulnerable''. ''I've got to try and get the best I can out of this group between now and the end of the season'' ''We've got a very talented squad here and a great set of professionals'' A* for accuracy. Nailed it, right down to the appalling grammar. Very well done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alberto2005 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 This reminds me of the time Liverpool made a bid for Ben Arfa with 4 days of the window left on Football Manager. Ben Arfa was unhappy and the offer was good... Just keep pressing continue and it will soon go away...that's what Lyon are doing now. Wait, you were called Enrique first and then Cabaye? Maybe this has already been pointed out to you but you're not allowed change your username to that of any of our current players. Unless it's Shola or Obertan. Off for Remy next.... Before he gets sent down for rape. Then Obertan... Before he signs for Gateshead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Can anyone think of one reason to bring this player in now, from Ashley's point of view. I can't. Can sell him for a profit in the summer? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incognito Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 If he spends 13 million on Grenier he must think they'll still be a tidy profit to be made in 2-3 years time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Have absolutely no faith that we'll get this done. Any other club would just bid the £12 million or so that they're wanting...we'll spend the next 3 days haggling with Lyon. Like how PSG did with us not very long ago? Eh? With Cabaye? They bid the low amount first then within 24 hours upped their bid to what we wanted. If our first bid for Grenier is the £9 million that's reported I'm pretty sure our next bid will be £9.5/£10million. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can sell him for a profit in the summer? Only realistic reason I could see him pushing it is if the players value is predicted to rise between now and then. Even if not the summer, if he has a good year or two here he'll only be 25-26 still, his value will naturally increase if he's done it in this league. Guess it's down to just how much Ashley has faith in Carr to "gamble" £12m for him to be a success over here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexf Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 The way this has all been reported.
