Ikon Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Radio silence from France suggests there might actually be something to this. I was thinking the opposite actually. Made me think about Pearl Harbour. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 There's nowt wrong with bidding £8.5m (same way PSG's opening offer was £14m) if we had the confidence we'd increase and get him. I can't see us doing it. Exactly, that's the problem here we won't do what PSG did. It's not like we don't have the money either...... No we don't http://a.dilcdn.com/bl/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2013/11/money-pit-throwing-money.gif 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 wouldn't worry about the silence, they don't seem keen to sell him so with 2 days left to go they might take their sweet time knocking it back Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 French media seem to think the offer is 13.5m euros which is 1.5m off their supposed valuation. 13.5m, give them Marveaux. Done deal. Yeah, if we are willing to continue paying Marveaux's wages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BottledDog Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Pardew said earlier that we don't need to sell Cabaye to sign new players We shouldn't have to, and to be honest I reckon we don't in the monetary sense. Just that we have a annoying one in, one out policy on purples. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 This is the problem with insisting on selling before we buy. Lyon will look at the fee we got for Cabaye and try to jack the price up for Grenier accordingly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Cabaye shows what a good career move NUFC can be for the aspiring French International. Depressing as it is, I have absolutely no doubt that this will be a key part of our 'sign for us pleeez' manifesto. Like Wigan. 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanSkÃrare Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 "Substantial" the new word, then? Seems like it. We've developed a vocabulary to suit our cheapness. We put in "substantial bids", other clubs have "coordinated finances" but we continue to offer "affordable football". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
