He would have arrived at Newcastle, not as Clement Grenier, but as Yohan Cabaye’s replacement. "I have the utmost respect for the quality of Cabaye, who deserves everything that has happened to him. Is Clement really worth half of Yohan Cabaye? "All these reasons led us to decline the offer of Newcastle, the conditions of the deal did not seem fair to me vis-à-vis Clement." What a load of crap. Every player in one way or another joins a club to replace someone. As for fees that's crap too, they are basically saying they want all of the Cabaye money.

Guest Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Cabaye was a massive pull in getting the other French players across, I think we'll struggle to attract French players of that quality without him. On the other hand it could make them think of us as a good stepping stone to the one Cabaye's just earned himself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcjb Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 If that is true, then he won't be coming. End of. Move on to the next target (if applicable).

nufcjb Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Was saying for all clubs in general. Anyone who gets through that door at SJP today would just watch from the stands tbh.

BrettNUFC Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Be less abstract mate, what your saying is going over heads. Correct me if I'm wrong but what ronaldo is saying is he prefers the days when we were in for young highly rated English players and being competitive in the transfer market. For those that are too young to remember how highly though of Bramble was we are talking in relative terms of Tom ince Seems pretty obvious, like. Can't adapt all my posts for the likes of Brett. The thing that makes me laugh about the point you made is its not really debatable. I don't agree, i'd rather have Ashley's transfer policy than Shepheard's. Happy we are gone of the days of spunking huge ways on average players and looking for marquee signings we couldn't really afford whilst being in debt. Least with Ashley we know we a good footing financially and he's not going sink the ship like it was with Shepheard. I hate Ashley the most at the club but i don't think his transfer policy is as bad as people make out, just frustrating. He was going to sign the likes of Gouffran/Sissoko in the summer but because of the relegation battle, he paid extra to get them in early. He doesn't need to pay extra for Cabella/Gomis or whoever they have lined up. I feel the squad is still good enough for top 8 even without Cabaye even though it does dent our chances of a top 6 finish greatly, i'm not sure we would have got in there even with Cabaye. Bramble was no more highly thought of for promise than what Mbiwa is. Both young defenders who can play football and have moved to us for a sizeable fee. It’s not like Ashley hasn’t got a set up where he’s not looking for young talent, if anything, that’s what he’s striving to look for. Upgrading the youth facilities to try and get home grown players in and looking into the French market for young players like Haidara on the cheap.

Ronaldo Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Under Shepherd we bought to compete. Under this arsehole we buy to stay up and sell for profit. That's all there is to it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suppose everyone would have different views on how we should do business. I'd just prefer to be spending money that we can afford rather than just sink deeper into debt which we were with Shepheard.

JH Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Ashley and Shepherd are probably the two extremes. There is always middle ground and that's where we should be. Spending doesn't = liquidation believe it or not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that buying to compete worked ever so well didn't it (short period with SBR aside - and he fell into Shepherd's lap). We are built to improve steadily, we won't spunk cash on an instant hit, because whatever we did spunk would be trumped times 10 by the City's and Chelsea's etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Telling us that, although he doesn't know Ashley, he knows men like him. Strong, powerful, alluring, success driven types, who never accept second best. Who shoot for the very top and never fall short. How we're so lucky so sit within the quivering folds of his obesity. How selling your best performers without replacing them is how every great sporting endevour should be run. Mug. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
