villa89 Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 ...and what the hell is a 'cheeky bid' Can anoybody explain this commonly used ridiculous phrase? It's when people suggest we bid for players who are 1. far too good for villa 2. on too high wages to come to villa 3. would have no interest in coming to villa. Usually these players are also brilliant on youtube/football manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bid put in with the hope that the other manager's mouse slips and he accidentally clicks "accept" instead of "reject". 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 I don't think it would be viable, but then not many would have thought delafeou would have gone to Everton last season. Real Madrid may not want to sell him as they paid a lot for him last season, yet he is unlikely to get much game time this season. Clubs higher up the echelon than us may only be interested in taking him permanently and so RM may not be interested in that. The prem is a good grounding for players as it strengthens them up. He would be guaranteed a starting place at us which would also aid his development. As for the FM comments I haven't played that for yrs so has nothing to do with the suggestion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArteSuave Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 A loan move for Isco is stupid. We should just buy him outright. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob182 Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 I don't think all these swipes about the Isco comment are fair. Yes, he's a player considered to be much, much better than we can attract. But there have been many scenarios where a player seeking game time, or wanting to put himself in a shop window, have joined clubs that are supposedly beneath them. Especially, considering that the Premier League is one of the best shop windows to put yourself in. Everton with Delafeou and Royston Drenthe when he first went there, West Ham getting Andy Carroll on loan after he cost £30m not long before, Southampton getting that striker from Italy (I can't remember his name) etc etc Maybe Isco to Villa is more far-fetched than the above players, but that's why they call it a 'cheeky bid'. ...and what the hell is a 'cheeky bid' Can anoybody explain this commonly used ridiculous phrase?

Feidhlim Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 With Madrid seemingly getting Rodriguez a cheeky loan bid for Isco should be put in. Yes bigger clubs will probably want to buy him, but Madrid may be happy just to loan him out. Probably pie on the sky but the club may as well ask. Are you taking the piss or really that deluded?

Football is business, there is no such thing as 'a cheeky bid' Clubs either want to sell him or they don't, Isco either would want to come or he wouldn't. A bid is a bid, multi million pound deals, this isn't **** ebay. ...we sound almost as bad as Newcastle. Isco is one of the most gifted players of his generation, this is a club that has just signed Senderos. Work it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 So are we signing Isco today or not? We put in a cheeky bid of £1m for Isco and Di Maria and 50% sell on clause, and offered them Tonev and Luna part ex. It's a cheeky bid, you never know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob182 Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 rodders0223, I don't know what you're trying to prove with the above posts. They're pretty pointless, and don't prove anything. A cheeky bid doesn't automatically mean a ridiculous bid (including unrealistic wages) that we know will not be accepted. Yes, clubs either want to sell or they don't, but you seem to be failing to acknowledge that the club that owns the player does not inform the world of the smallest offer they will accept for a sale/ loan of a player. Like you said, football is a business. So teams keep their cards close to their chests. Because of this, what we might view as a 'cheeky bid' (for any player, I'm not talking about Isco) could be seen by the other team as acceptable, if it suits all parties. Or would you rather we just paid over the odds for every player, to avoid looking like an ebay buyer? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
