Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 we haven't even thrown in a last minute low ball 'Nzogbia' bid for years. N'Zogbia has been a free agent since June 2016 Wow. His career of Le Havre, Newcastle, Wigan and Aston Villa seems a lot different to the one he was expecting to have. Didn't he train with the mackems too and even they didn't want him? That's got to be a low point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFEE Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Other than a maybe a striker I think it's pretty clear we're on a one in, one out scenario. Not just financially, but because we need to clear the club of the complete wasters that are lingering around picking up a pay cheque but are either not bothered or not good enough. We'll be working on deals but we wont be close to concluding any until we're certain that someone else is moving out. Sadly, we've accumulated a lot of s*** over the years and we're now struggling to move that s*** on. We could of course just ignore them, spend anyway and either pay them off or let them linger around, but that isn't the Mike Ashley way and never will be. This. And the fact that I do think we are now at the rebuilding stage where we are looking at a level where the players we've targeted are weighing up their options with their agents to see if something better than NUFC comes up. This is the main reason as we will never throw mind changing money at them personally for them to push the decision with their own clubs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alberts Mustache Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 According to Transfermarkt we have the second largest squad i the PL right now with 32 players and are ranked at 14th considering total market value of our players. All though WBA are ranked below us, they have a higher average market value in their squad - and it says they per now only have 20 registered players in their squad(?). We desperately need to trade in the fillers for some quality And only Spurs have a lower average age Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this means Riviere and Saivet are left in no-man's land, so be it since they are 'invisible' men anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEMTEX Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 There have been so few rumours about our fringe players/returning loanee superstars leaving though. Are they really that unwanted? All of them??.. Or are we just playing the cunt, expecting that people will want to pay reasonable money for players who are clearly unwanted by NUFC, and on the wane?

Or are we just playing the cunt, expecting that people will want to pay reasonable money for players who are clearly unwanted and on the wane? I'd imagine our shit players are on a fairly high salary. The likes of Colback and Riviere are probably being looked at by shit championship or decent league one teams who can't pay them anything near what they're on.

Yeah I'm not really sure about the high-salary chatter though. I'm of the opinion that we're cheap AF, and thus the high-salary talk doesn't really sit right with me. I suppose it's all relative though. I don't think our players are on high Premier League salaries, but you might be right with regards to potential Ligue 1 returnees.
