Chris Samba => Arsenal/Spurs

[tony gale's mic]

Yeah at this stage I'd refuse. Samba seems like a good pro who'd take it reasonably well.

[JAL]

Hearing from 2 very reliable sources that Spurs have made a bid for Samba. Very bad news.

More money for the Rao household.

I bet they are loving having this English premier league football club.

[Ripleys love child]

Its too soon to the start of the season, just turn it down point blank. We aint gonna get anyone as good as Samba in in 10 days.

Agreed , if we sell it could be disastrous and would send out the wrong signal and let's not forget he's only a few months into a lucrative 5 yr deal so we have no need to sell. This could well be the acid test for venkys

[Hughesy]

Spurs fook about with low bids for ages, tell them to stick it!!

[67splitscreen]

Will get more details tomorrow. Knowing Levy he will start with a low bid. Not sure if Samba fancies move to Spurs.

Possible could not have been timed better with the Family in town, somehow I have a feeling this will get shoved right up their jacksie.

Ms Desai has a point to prove.

[roversfan99]

Scott Dann or Bassong as part of the deal would be my replacements if he goes.

[tony gale's mic]

Not sure why so many fans seem to go on about part exchange deals as something they either a) think is likely to happen or b ) actually want to happen.

In real life (as opposed to Football Manager) theyre actually quite rare as most clubs have the good sense not to be limited to just the selling team's players when looking for a replacement.

I agree, i cant see mrs d taking any crap after the way they valued robbie kean so highly when we enquired,

play them at their own game, we want 20m all in one lump sum or were not selling take it or leave it, that should put them off

[NookRover]

Tell em we'll take what they get for Modric!

It's quite telling though that, despite being our team captain, he's not part of the "V4" (Nelsen, Roberts, Dunn, Peds).

I can see him being sold before the window shuts.

The timing is awful too. Just when we finally (almost) have some good news with Goodwillie.

I only hope we have been scouting someone to replace him 'just in case' but again we are likely to downgrade.

If Defoe and Bassong were offered for Samba in a straight swap, what would people do in that case?

[roversfan99]

Take it, definitely.

[Ricky]

Take it in a heartbeat but it won't happen. Spurs will rate those two at £30m knowing them. Don't they want £13m for palacios and £10m+ for krancjaer?

[LeChuck]

I wouldn't want Defoe. He needs to play off a main striker so we'd still need someone else.

He can't spearhead an attack, look how poor his form was last season when Spurs changes formation to accommodate Van Der Vaart.

I'd prefer Pavyluchenko.

[Ozz]

Mrs D is a tough cookie

Spurs want Samba on a free

She said no told-Harry where to go

Samba-Stays put.

[alexanders]

Please show us that you know how to play hardball and you just dont fall over for the top teams and accept everything.

Dont think this is Samba's dream move anyhow. He will see that he needs to perform every season to get his dream move.

If Defoe and Bassong were offered for Samba in a straight swap, what would people do in that case?

I'd most definately be interested in a deal like that. Defoe is a class player, however as Lechuck says we would still need another striker in to get the best out of him.

That's it, he's off then

Look at the picture from this article Jisty.

Be a part of history

[Brfcrule1]

Personally looking at it 10M is an insult & they know where they can stick their 10M. I would not even accept Bassong IMO not as good as Samba. We should play them at their own game swap Samba for Defoe & Modric see how they like that deal. Reading some of Samba's comments if we turn this bid down I can't really see him making a huge fuss he seems like a good honest pro after his comments about the Arsenal saga. So I say only accept any bid if it is suitable to us otherwise turn it down. Does anyone think it strange though just after they sign Friedal they try for Samba he's probably had a word in Harry's ear.

[jimmymcmahon]

All those who keep coming up with these exaggerated cash + additional players Combinations need to realise this isn't football manager.

[neophox]

Ok you'll want Samba.

Give us Bassong, Kranjar and Defoe!

Deal!

[gazsimm]

i will only settle for 10 mill for Samba, if they chucked in Defoe as well, other then that they can stick the bid up there backsides
