Flip Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 That £5million surely isn't a correct fee. It just cannot be. I'll be stunned, and I'll go from neutral to anti-Ashley if we sell Jose for that kind of peanut money. f***ing hell. dunno like, didn't they get 6-8m for dyer? still buys them a few more years for me True, there we go. Basically those 6-8m for Dyer means we're selling Jose for 11-13. Decent business per usual. Go Team Ashley! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be stunned, and I'll go from neutral to anti-Ashley if we sell Jose for that kind of peanut money. Fucking hell. Do we really just blame Ashley for absolutely everything now? Thanks to Enrique's twitter outburst it's clear we have to sell. The cards are all in Liverpool's favour. We could piss about for 4 weeks but Liverpool know we now have to get rid and we need time to replace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtype Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 I resolved to stay away from Football for a while last night because I felt myself being swept up by a whole boatload of irrational negativity. After sleeping on it, I've decided I don't give a shit. I am now back on a full-on manic depressive doom-monger mode the likes of which I haven't been in since Hughton was sacked. It's so much easier than trying to keep an ember of hope and optimism alive Here's the thing: a critical component of support is hope. You've got to have the belief that if you keep backing your team with all your heart, one day they will do something to make you feel good about sticking with them through all the hard times. There has to be something to strive for. There is no hope with this club for the forseeable future. I'd love to say I can support my club with no prospects for recompense indefinitely, but I have to admit it's hard. Eight months later, basically right back where I started Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sima Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 So, our 4 best players sold in the space of 8 months and the money not re-invested? Cosmic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 £6 million really is an absolute f***ing joke like. Mail say £10m. Mirror say £5m. I'd say it'll be around £7m. 7m with add-ons would be reasonable. Think its fair of us to point to N'Zogbia. Figures are a moot point tbh, it will end up being undisclosed and people will argue about it depending on their agenda over the next few months and whenever he plays against us. It will probably be something like £6m + Insua. Would be happy with that, if the 6m includes add ons. Wouldn't want Insua first choice though so we would still need to get another LB.

Punk77 Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 I do believe that the club has been in negotiations with Liverpool regarding Enrique for quite some time now, and that's why i find it very hard to believe that he will go for as little as £5-6m, probably more like 8-9m. Agreed.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David28 Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Wow, the transfer window got even worse over one night. Not that I'd be surprised. At least there would be enough time now to find a good replacement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Bigger kick in the nuts to see Barton leaving for me, although neither exits are a surprise. IF (and its a big one right now) we replace them both with the calibre of player we have been linked with (Barnetta, M'Bengue) I think we will be just fine. Make no mistake though, there are no excuses to be sitting here in 4 weeks time without replacements, we have had long enough to plan for this.

Taylor Swift Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 I wouldn't mind Insua. God knows we're not spending any money on a replacement so might as well get one in exchange. To be honest, I would take insua for Enrique straight up at this point because at least we'll have a starting LB on the team. If it's just cash for Enrique then ferguson will end up at starting at LB and he's currently not good enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 I could see Insua on loan even. Would at very least be someone to try and appease Colo & Jonas after losing their mate, and he's probably as good as we could sign anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DubblyDubblyDubbly Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Jose should know the terms of the deal and with a bit of luck will tweet the details before he becomes a bin-dipper where no doubt tweeting is banned. If nothing else, it will embarrass the FCW and inch him further towards selling or just fugging off Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the kind of deal that makes perfect sense, so for us, pretty unlikely to happen. Much like using Routledge as bait for Taylor or N'Zobia, getting Cole for Nolan, or asking for some players as part of the Carroll deal. Just kidding on Cole Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make no mistake though, there are no excuses to be sitting here in 4 weeks time without replacements, we have had long enough to plan for this. It normally takes a player at least one season to settle in to the premiership. We have left to many 1st team players leave this window and replaced them with to many foreigners who are going straight to the first team lineup imo. Its a massive gamble hoping all will settle like Tiote did. Worst case scenario we don get any more bodies in, and we dont have anyone to put at left back...

Probably why we are more likely to end up with Puncheon/Bently and Bridge/Warnock. What you say is true. Its arguable we have enough premiership experience within the squad to let us integrate two more new signings, although it certainly is a gamble going foreign to the extent we are looking to. Finding similar quality from within the premiership seems unlikely though due to the amount we would have to spend to acquire them. The downside is pushing Raylor and Smith into the first team picture. The line up for Arsenal doesn't change too much with Barton's exit, Enrique is a problem. 4-4-2 to start the season probably. I think the 4-5-1 will be on hold until we get some players in, whether that's 2011 or 2012 we shall see. Cabaye Tiote Cabaye Tiote Gosling Guti Marveaux or Guti Marveux Ba Shola Ba Not really too different to most peoples predictions as people wanted to leave Guti on the bench. Means whom ever we get in at LB has to slot right in though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
