The Fish 10972 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Aye I know the manager doesn't have a great deal to say in terms of transfers but for the amount Falcao will cost you would have thought they'd like the right one there. RA would rather have the wrong player than the right manager imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4871 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Aye, they dont have manager, they have coach, who picks the players he's provided with by his bosses. A lot of clubs do this now. Including ourselves. So theres a school of thought that Ba is being used as bait in a move for Falcao?...oh dear Is there anythng concrete about PSG's interest?... wheres anyone said that?

ChezGiven 0 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 They'll overcome the financial differences to make this one happen. Not sure UEFA are that easily bribed when it comes to overlooking losses under FFP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 10972 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Not sure UEFA are that easily bribed when it comes to overlooking losses under FFP. I wonder how much loss is acceptable? If they were to (say) sell Sturridge for £12m, maybe Ferreira and Mikel for a few Million each? Could they argue that a £32m loss is ok? Given their expected domestic and CL income?

PaddockLad 17684 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 wheres anyone said that? Me. I'm fuckin well saying it. Problem? Theres cunts in the media getting paid for this shit. I thought I'd give it a go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 46080 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Not sure UEFA are that easily bribed when it comes to overlooking losses under FFP. Do you think FFP will be enforced? I had high hopes when UEFA were talking about how they were gonna take it seriously etc, but the way these clubs continue to spend, they must know they're gonna get away with it.

Christmas Tree 4843 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Newcastle United FC @NUFCOfficial #NUFC have given Demba Ba permission to speak to Chelsea. As a result he won't be included in tonight's squad. More on http://nufc.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think the Ba deal will put them the wrong side of the calculations but FFP makes the issue of finance more than just dipping into Roman's stolen roubles.

Craig 6700 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Aren't they chasing Falcao though? Not proven in this league unlike Ba though. Be a damned sight better deal for them IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig 6700 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Agreed. And I hope the club have had the foresight to get the wheels moving on a replacement - Remy hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 22181 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 if he's leaving, he wants replacing. we can't get through the season with just cisse and shola as strikers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4843 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Mark Douglas @MsiDouglas Remy is #1 target for #nufc. Been told he wants to come; presence of Debuchy increases chances of deal. Takes on increased urgency now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14013 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I'm fairly sure I was reading a Remy interview not so long ago where he said he preffered the centre forward role to that of a winger - that would give us the same problem but wait and see. There will be tough competition for signing Remy too, Spurs etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be tough competition for signing Remy too, Spurs etc etc it would depend on whether he and Cisse can play as a front 2 as well mind, Ba and Cisse have never quite gelled in that system.

The Fish 10972 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 England international Daniel Sturridge on moving to Liverpool from Chelsea: "I am humbled and happy to be here. "Brendan Rodgers said he sees me here for a long time - and I also see myself here for a long time. I've not signed here to play for a couple of years and then move on. "I've signed to be here for as long as possible. It's a humongous club - for me, one of the biggest in the world - and to have the fans and world-class players we have here is amazing."

Andrew 4871 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 usual transfer lip service. don't see sturridge coming on that much without a pretty big attitude/philosophy change, he thinks hes too good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup. He's not all that great, Chelsea fans I know say his attitude in training is shocking as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brock Manson 0 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Would love to see us put a cheeky bid in for Lallana... and Remy coming in would fill the Ba void nicely, especially now that there's an extra £7.5m to the transfer kitty...
