2bias 3 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 From what I saw on Saturday, Anita is not a replacement for tiote, in terms of role and ability. We can't afford to lose him. I don't think he has ever meant to be, I think he was more likely to be an improved Guthrie. I do admit he he did look shaky at the weekend but he is new and will need sometime to settle in. I don't think Tiote will go for the kind of money being spouted about ie £15 million. IF he did go I can't see any less than £25 million. Hopefully he wont go though.

Lake Bells tits 1 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I cannot fathom how we can spend 7 million on a guthrie and fail to spend 6 on debauchy.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitman 2207 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I'd hope we don't need to sell anyone to fund one or two players coming in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lake Bells tits 1 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Our summer window on the back of a top-5 season is just shocking. Opportunity missed, Liverpool have strengthened considerably - so have sunderland and a host of other clubs. REALLY thought we would strengthen our defence.. still a CB and a RB short - ideally I would want another LB too. Santon really isnt that good.

Monroe Transfer 0 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Oh, has the window closed already? Santon was getting raved about towards the end of last season, now after one so so game he "really isn't that good"? Funny that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lake Bells tits 1 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Raved Santon looks a decent prospect because he is more promising going forward than Simpson. Defensibly and in general he is nothing more than "ok" so far. He is not a finished prospect though, which is what gives him a bit of slack.

Kid Dynamite 7029 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 People saying Anita looks average need to have a think about HBA, Ba, Cabaye and Colo's first few games for the club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitman 2207 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 It's mind blowing that anyone could be judged after a couple of games. Especially when he's played two games in different countries in 48 hours, the first in crippling heat. The guy's won the Eredivisie and played for Ajax. I doubt he's average.

Monroe Transfer 0 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Fans weren't happy about him leaving either. Doesn't mean a lot in the grand scheme of things but it's not like they weren't that fussed like the PSV fans seem to be about Pieters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChezGiven 0 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I think Villa away last season was the first time the majority were convinced by Cabaye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 7029 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Times reporting Douglas might be coming here now. Also rumours we are putting in a last bid for Debuchy And you just know we are putting LFC over a barrell with AC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1245 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I've heard we've got that Wanyama from Celtic lined up for if Tiote goes. Mind you with Wenger saying they're not after Tiote and both Ferguson and Di Matteo both saying theyre done, Cabaye might be looking the more likely to go.

Kitman 2207 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Would be pretty short sighted to sell Cabaye. Even more so for an average fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lake Bells tits 1 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 (edited) 15 milion sounds about right. Slightly overrated in my opinion. If we could get M`vila for that amount I wouldnt think twice. Tabbing out of FM for a moment and returning to real life, I would never want us to lose anyone - simply because I dont trust Mike and Dekka to replace them.

JawD 99 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Would you accept Cabaye going for £20M if it meant Debuchy, Douglas and AC came in? While on the surface you think its a good deal, I think it would leave us weak in midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is what infuriates me. AC is a bit of a meh for me, especially with the prices quoted. Douglas is completely unproven and could be either a flop or success, and debauchy should have been tied up a month ago by simply agreeing a price whether that was 6 million pounds or 7.

Yep, even though he is being utilised - in my opinion - too much as a terrier and enough not in an advanced position spraying passes and 25 yard belters Edited August 27, 2012 by Lake Bells tits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sell Cabaye and lose Tiote for the ACN and we are down to Anita and Gosling in CM. One of those get's injured and it's Abeid/Bigi/Amalfitano in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
