He apparently dressed as Shelvey for the Forest Xmas party. Better than Colback I suppose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, it's not as if there's an actual, literal "transfer kitty" that sits in a padlocked safe inside Rafa's office. Money in the club is money in the club.

It's really the club's own fault (from prior handlings) because they've drawn so much attention to the balance sheet that now people are programmed to obsess over this.

gjohnson Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Unless the rumours about the Sissoko fee being paid over instalments was actually correct? It probably was paid in installments. They would still have to pay all the installments whether they sold him or not though I was under the impression in recent years that we'd insisted on cash up front for all sales. Could be wrong. You are. We buy cash up front. This....we pay up front to get a lower overall fee, but take outgoings in installments to ensure a good cash flow Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sempuki Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 NUFC 360 @NUFC360 37m Chelsea's Ruben Loftus-Cheek could stay put in the transfer window despite several clubs wanting him on loan, according to Sky. #NUFC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 NUFC 360 @NUFC360 37m Chelsea's Ruben Loftus-Cheek could stay put in the transfer window despite several clubs wanting him on loan, according to Sky. #NUFC He's a good player, and it brings home that it's virtually impossible for a young player to establish themselves in the first team at that kind of club solely by coming through the ranks. He needs first team experience somewhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1878 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 You'd think Everton might have smelled a rat after they signed Darron Gibson like. I'd take Cleverley purely because he's not Colback, on loan, that's all. Would much rather we signed someone actually a bit good. Gibson is actually a decent player when he's fit. Not mobile but has vision and a good range of passing. He was an important first teamer for us under Moyes and is more highly thought of than Cleverley by the fans. He got frozen out by Martinez and hasn't had a chance from Koeman either, despite getting a new deal in the summer. I hope he gets a move somewhere in January after so long without regular football. Maybe join up with Moyes again or drop down to the Championship. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Surely we must be a pretty attractive team to come to for a Premiership player on the fringe of the squad. I guess any Premiership clubs knocked out the cup won't need their fringe players so we might be able to loan players. Everton for example. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
