OTF 7485 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 He is gutted he has signed for us and thinks he is twice the player Colo is and built like a tank. Think your friend is a little misguided on that last point, he's 6 foot and 80kg (12st 8 - About the weight of Stevie's right thigh or CT's lunch). For a defender he's not particularly big. It doesn't mean he can't make up for it with athelticism and strength though, and it will be a brief welcome relief to havea player come through the door and sign should that actually happen.

David Kelly 1260 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Arsenal being linked again today. I'm far from convinced this is going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddockLad 17643 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Is it naive in the least to say that pulling the sort of shit QPR and Willie Mckay did last week isnt really Wenger's style?.... If he doesn't come its likely that Colo is going nowhere... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddockLad 17643 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 His agent would appear to be one Tim Hager....currently also representing Yann M'Villa, who is also wanted by QPR apparently.....hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2bias 3 Posted January 21, 2013 Author Share Posted January 21, 2013 These players have multiple agents so there bound to share some. I'm feeling confident about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Park Life 71 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 (edited) Flying in today. Medical a formality. Personal terms to be finalised. I think deal announced tomorrow.

OTF 7485 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 If I was him I would ask for a plane back after watching that shite at the weekend. Or he'd know that coming here, if he's replacing Williamson, the fans are going to absolutely love him. Would know loads about Ben Arfa, Cabaye and Debuchy etc etc. Sure we're in the shit at the minute but the rest of this season is one eighth of a four year contract and you would hope that he'd have the vision to look beyond the immediate dire position.

David Kelly 1260 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I really can't understand why any decent player would want to sign for us at the minute. We are a total mess and look odds on for relegation. A couple of top signings and keeping Colo (don't think this will happen if I'm honest) could change that but I'm more than a bit worried that this won't happen. I'd think this deal is far from certain even before the events of the last week but I'm even less sure now. I'll believe it when it's confirmed.

NUFC is quickly becoming Les Rosbifs division of Clairfontaine. Debuchy showed how attractive that seems to be to some Frenchies. Over and above cold hard cash.

PaddockLad 17643 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Could we conceiveably sign 3 French players this window? + HBA,Cabaye,Cisse (speaka da lingo) Marveux,Abeid,Amalfitano,Obertan. Possibly 10 French squad members on 1st Feb...thats a lot. One of their wives probably makes lovely bread and pastries though....Dekka and Alan will love that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1260 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Hopefully Obertan, Abeid & Amalfianto will all be shipped out in the next window though as they're all shite! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooj 17 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Abeid and Amalfitano should go out on loan. Totally harsh judging Amalfitano as of yet seeing as he's barely featured whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abeid and Amalfitano should go out on loan. Totally harsh judging Amalfitano as of yet seeing as he's barely featured whatsoever. So who do we replace them with in the squad?....we havent replaced Best or Lovenkrands yet. Not sure about Abeid, he's had two or three opputunities now over 18 months and he's not done much. Ashley is running a tight financial ship though, so am sure all will be fine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 10963 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I'd stick Amalfitano out on loan as he's behind Marveaux, Obertan, Sammy Ameobi, Jonas etc. Keep Abeid around, just in case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So do you mean there exists no replacement for these players in this world that can be scouted by Carr and bought, like the manager situation where you are all shouting "so who do we replace pardew with? there isnt anyone"(like thats somekind of fact), or are you just open for suggestions?
