Unbelievable Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Oh dear, it's just been mentioned on Dutch television that Newcastle have launched an offer of 7 million Euros (4,5 mill pounds) plus Luque for Ryan Babel of ajax. I personally don´t rate him at all, but I thought I´d let you know. I also don´t think ajax can afford Luque´s wages.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon55544 Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 I thought Babel didnt wanna come here? Read somewhere that he had his heart on Arsenal or something and his best mate is RVP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieDazzler Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Well he's got talent but has been a bit inconsistant at his current club which has a wealth of attacking players. Sounds a bit like the situation with Martins before we bought him. He gets played out of position alot doesnt he? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 I'd think that would be a good deal considering the guy's age and potential. We could always sell him on for about 8mil if he doesn't do it. Think it's worth a go, and hey, it's almost worth 4.5m just to get Luque of the payroll.

tmonkey Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Another winger > Only seen him come off the bench a few times, lively player but extremely raw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Yeah he is best chums with Van Persie and Arsenal have been tracking him. That said, it doesnt mean we havent bid for him. Dont know too much about him tbh, supposed to be the next Henry, but if this is the type of striker we are after its encouraging we arent looking to play a long ball game. Would be an ideal deal, cant see either it coming off or he being interested in coming though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieDazzler Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 He isn't a striker. I thought his preferred position was CF but he has been forced to play on the wing/wing forward role because of players like Huntelarr Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ally Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 I'd take Babel's gran in part exchange if it meant getting Luque off the payroll. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
papo Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 i dont mind in which position he plays, if he is better than Luque and Luque goes, than he's welcome! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtype Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 How much does everyone want to bet that Alan Olivier will write an article debunking the Gooch, Coloccini, and Babel rumors tomorrow? I swear, these days I get up every morning wondering who we WON'T sign this time. Not who we will. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Much rather swap Luque with Andrade or Coloccini. Babel is a talent, we just simply do not need. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skirge Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Getting rid of a player that does not play for one that will is a good deal, we are finding it hard to sell Luque and finding it just as hard to buy players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 If he is a talented striker then its all good. Doubt Arsenal would need him tbh they have LOADS of strikers! As someone said though could they afford Luques wages? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcjmc Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 part of me is thinking really negatively in the sense that most national and internation press people link us with all sorts of deals must be a load sinse about xmas that we were close to or going to sign. Second I dont think they could pay his wage demands unless he is that sick of us and how glen slags him off that he will leave and take pay drop. but the positive part of me is thinking yes a signing not only that but he is young and could well do what martins has done after the bedding in period, also we know that arsenal hardly ever make a bad signing so if they are as keen as the press over here has made clear and we have actually struck a deal then he must be something worth to shout about.
