HeyAnty Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I'm Way to bed. Lerner is making a total laughing stock of our club. Had enough of him and his side kick Faulkner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Cropley Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Jesus if we bid 10mill that would be too much, now it's too little and abused for that. Typical. If I go into a shop where I know a loaf of bread is £1 then it's unlikely I'm gonna offer £10 for it - equally, I wouldn't embarrass my self by offering 50p. No abuse - just common sense. Take your blinkers off - we're a shambles.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smetrov Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Don't forget Norwich are pretty close to us in league placings. If they sold him to us any price , it could be sale that keeps us up and sends them down. Unless they really need the money (which doubt) there is no reason for them to do business with us ....whatever the bid.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I worry about any other potential 'transfer targets', really hope this isn't a sign of what Lambert has to work with this window but I assume it is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJVillan Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 (edited) It's an issue because it antagonises Norwich even further. If we were serious about Hoolahan we might have blown it. Even if they are willing to talk to us now, it drags out the negotiation process. We've got some big games coming up we could really use some new faces in. Or, worse still, that's an accurate representation of the amount of money we have to spend on a number 10 this window. That scares the hell out of me.

PBVogel Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 This very well could be Norwich claiming a low bid in the press so that if/when they accept a higher number they can make the argument they got a better deal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We really need to bring some new faces in before/during the run of games we have coming up, faffing about with bids of £750k or £1m 'in instalments' for fun is ridiculous, unless (as you say) that is literally what we have to work with. The latter would make sense based on our activity/amount of expenditure on players last January (and in the Summer and the Summer before that). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's variables, including player power, and some bargaining to be done. Would you buy something from a market without a bit of bartering. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliffy Biro Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Agreed its an embarrassing and worrying offer IF true but the loaf of bread comparison is just about as ridiculous a comparison as ive seen on here yet. Amazing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Its all playground stuff. Either we are serious in getting him and he will come at the last minute, or Villa will move to other targets. Norwich can piss off back to the championship with Hughton and Delia bloody Smith. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
