If accepted, Shepherd will send a private jet out to pick him up and have him unveiled before the match this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mag-ic 0 Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 That would be ace! They'll take Viana, surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds promising, although the private jet thing sounds doubtful. It would certainly be a nice introduction if they unveiled him at half time with us 1 nil down.

Matt 0 Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 I don't get this, we'll offer the asking price in cash but we're so desperate to cut the wage bill that we'll send another player back their way as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut 496 Posted August 20, 2005 Author Share Posted August 20, 2005 It says they wanted 18m Euros (Around £12m), so the bid of £10m plus a player probably makes it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mag-ic 0 Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 In that case, it sounds more like Shola (or someone else....?) being the makeweight, considering how arsey we've been about the Viana asking price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut 496 Posted August 20, 2005 Author Share Posted August 20, 2005 Viana alone is worth more than £2m, but if it means sacrificing a couple of million to get Luque, it'd be worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mag-ic 0 Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 I agree - it's clear that Viana isn't going to play for us, EVER. But we're talking about the Pie-man here, and on present form, I can't see it happening. Ameobi in Spain would be pretty funny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut 496 Posted August 20, 2005 Author Share Posted August 20, 2005 Agree with SSR. Even for the England Under 21s, he was the one who stood out amongst the likes of Defoe, Crouch, Johnson, Bent, Cole, etc. which I put down to his style of football being suited to the Continental style.

Isegrim 10710 Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 I don't give anything on AS or Marca they are as bad as the S*n and the likes of Daily Mirror combined. If you would take them serious Real would sign at least a dozen players daily. I don't believe in any deal until I see Jimbo's telly confirming it...

Isegrim 10710 Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 On the official website they have snippets from a press conference with Luque. He is saying that a move to Newcastle would suit him, but that he has no problem with staying at Deportivo if no deal between the clubs can be agreed. (at least that's what I understood with my limited Spanish). http://www.canaldeportivo.com/servlet/es.i...id=10157&mid=12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut 496 Posted August 21, 2005 Author Share Posted August 21, 2005 He also says that he doesn't understand the fact that we offered 15m Euros and Depor haven't allowed him to leave yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
