Village Idiot Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 I remember years ago Robson saying Harper was paid far more than he should have been to compensate for the fact he wouldn't play much and to keep him here. Might be similar with Caballero. Might have agreed say £50k a week and regular football here, then Chelsea came in with £70-80k a week so bench warm. Caballero's 36 next month. Not really surprising he went for a last big payout and I'm sure Chelsea upped whatever you were offering. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliottman Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 You fool Odin, remember the rules of Newcastle Online Always look for the negative in every situation Never have any praise for anyone other than Rafa and Ben Arfa Don't mention Ashleys name without a profanity either before or after it. :lol: u ok hun? Top of the bill, looking forward to a cracking game today win lose or draw, few pints, glorious sunshine everythings good. I'll drink to that.

The big issue seems to be that we had this deal along with the Abraham one wrapped up (including wages) long before other clubs came in, but somehow the deals weren't signed off on by the club. Ridiculous situation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chopey Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 I thought the Abraham deal was knocked back because of the demands of his agent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Not to excuse missing out on deals but Abraham's demands did seem mental and if Caballero would rather take more money to sit on the bench then... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveMc Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Not to excuse missing out on deals but Abraham's demands did seem mental and if Caballero would rather take more money to sit on the bench then... They'd have been tied up before these things became issues if the club had cracked on. I get the impression there was a Rafa/ Carr power struggle early doors this summer. Now sorted of course - hence improvement in Rafa"s standpoint Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 I think we're being naive if we don't think players keep their options open and don't just sign their first offer like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc4eva Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 We should have known when we were looking at that loan deal that we would be scrapping around all window. I'm not keen on loan deals without an option to buy as it just means we are having to replace them to stand still next year and becoming Sunderland. I have no problem with us making our money stretch and deals like Merino, Lejuene, Atsu, Murphy and Manquillo may turn out to be good business, a high risk though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Elliot over Caballero Ashley interview good People were also slagging me off for saying no ta to Michy Batshuayi during the summer. He looked class today didn't he..... You don't have to spend your life addicted to smack, homeless on the streets giving handjobs for crack. Follow my plan and very soon you will say, it's easy m'kay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You forgot rule four, which is actually the base rule for rules 1-3, which is "the sky is always falling in". They've still massively fucked this window like, no denying it. Just pay the money for Perez its getting ridiculous now sometimes you have to bite the bullet and pay over the odds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or his agent was waiting because they knew bigger offers were on the way? Rafa's frustration is with people inside the club much more so than with external agents. It's really not hard to get unless you're trying to convince yourself otherwise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Bailey Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Joselus stats are pretty average and that's being kind. Can't say iv'e seen much of him but hardly inspiring looking at his history. Surely there is a loan deal out there that is better quality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

xLiaaamx Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 If Wilshere really is getting better with his injuries, I'd give him a go. Probably would want a loan with it being permanent based on an certain number of games being played, to make sure he's over it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
