[Archived] Transfer Window Part 3

[RevidgeBlue]

That's only partly true. When a player publicly wants to go there's a grey area. I agree my ideal position would be to say £15m or he stays but then he may turn around and say fine, I will stay, and I will see out my contract and then leave for free. The reality is that clubs cave in - a good example would be Man U and Rooney

How long has he got left on his contract? We could easily sell him in 12 - 18 months time. No need at all to be bullied into selling him in this window?

4 years is a long time to wait!

Agree with that, if a club wants him, they give us our valuation, not theirs, or pretty close to it!

[Valois]

Enough of the Chris Samba talk already, think it's time to move on now until we hear of any developments.

I agree - and I hope we do stand up and keep him. But I wouldn't bet my own money on it!

Good and honest points from Salgado but are Venkys' listening? do they have the slightest clue as to feelings over here?......

Who knows...but I would ask....whose job is it to make them listen?? JW?

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Like most of us Hughsey I dont know,I dont really know who the eck is running the show tbh.It just feels like a 'them and us' situation.

You need to understand the Asian culture to understand or answer that, I would suggest a person who has lived in an Asian Country would tell you, but my understanding is they view advice as 'dissent' thats not a criticism, but the way of their thinking.

Once rumored target Sol Bamba scoring in the first minute of his first game for Leicester..

A natural replacement for our Samba... you reckon big Chris would head over to Leicester?

This guy seems a bit more mobile than SAmba and possibly more dangerous in the rival penalty box.

Bamba was superb for Hibs when we played them in a pre season friendly at Ewood some 2 years or so ago. Surprised that we didn't snap him up then - Samba & Bamba, the dream ticket duo!

Iceman dave, congrats on your first post, and welcome to the board. Do you have a link to the above rumour?

[iceman dave]

On iPod not sure how to do it lol and there's a few re tweets on twitter but that don't mean nothing there's around 3 sites reporting it

It's "King Cong" you racist...

No idea how reliable the source is though...

[iceman dave]

Interesting re:Charlie Adam..

[Pelio]

That'll be the face he makes if Arsenal do actually bid 8M for him! LOL

[philipl]

If Arsenal come in for Samba he goes.

If Villa come in for Samba he stays.

Warnock probably coming in on a straight transfer- none of this swap nonsense.

[iceman dave]

Abit low but if we can have a squad player but not on loan might be worth a look I think samba is prob £11 mil player

[AJW]

joe cole and his missus want out of liverpool, he wants to go back to london west ham are interested and mark hughes has made an enquiry if fulham are successful we can have Duff

[Valois]

Interesting, but would prefer Ramsey on loan, pretty sure he has returned back to Arsenal from Forest. Vela wouldnt be a bad option though.

[iceman dave]

Don't need a loan need longterm deal but there not the type of team who let there best youth players leave
