sexbelowsound Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 They've just sold Batshuayi for £31m and bought Cabella for £6m. I'd imagine, even as skint as they are, that they could stretch to Gana's release clause. Hopefully not though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 7.1mil is a great price for them, definitely not for us though. Shame that we find ourselves in this position but c'est la vie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw very little from Gana other than blocking and interceptions (which he then almost invariably gave straight back to the opposition) Exact opposite for me. Don't get the hype for veretout - even his mate Remi wasn't picking him in the end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubbs Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Haven't seen enough from either of them in all honesty. £7.1M? it'll go back into the new squad so yeah - deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However to be honest (I know you can't really judge by pics and media talk) his body language didn't seem great, neither did the rhetoric. We have Aaron now, and Xia is ok with spending money, so if we get 7.1 million for him, if need be we can even add to it and reinvest in the squad. I would rather we kept him though, however it is what it is. NRC was a very decent player for us in a far better side, he wasn't always first choice of course but he played 102 games for us in his 4 seasons of which we finished 6th three times and 9th in the more disappointing transitional season we had under Houllier. So for people to be suggesting Gana is a level above him is a bit baffling imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They claim that Marseille have activated a £7.1m release clause. Marseille have 0 £'s. Marseille are a circus but they've just received 32m for Batshauyi who thought they might've used some of that.

That said they are quite a big draw for French-African players due to their history and had some famous players like Boli and Drogba play for them.

El-Reacho Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 OM had to raise about £40m to pay a tax debt this summer. I don't think they'll be using any of the Batshuyi money to buy players with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Czechlad Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 (edited) Honestly if Gueye's release clause is really that low, I am surprised at least a few premier league clubs haven't come in for him. Very low risk considering how cheap 7 million is these days. Edited July 12, 2016 by Czechlad 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villan-scott Posted July 12, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted July 12, 2016 Not going to Marseille according to Gregg Evans, and RDM wants to keep him. Marseille looking at Sanchez for 3m instead. Marseille don't have the cash for Gana apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Thomas Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 (edited) Mail reporting they are going after Sanchez instead of Gana.....good news if we can keep him (Gana that is) http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/aston-villa-transfer-news-marseille-11606087 Quote Marseille will turn their attention to Carlos Sanchez after missing out on his Aston Villa team-mate Idrissa Gana. The Ligue 1 side will bid £3m for the Colombian international and are confident of getting their man. Gana was originally the midfielder they were after but Villa are not interested in selling. And sources in France have also told the Birmingham Mail that the cash-strapped club couldn’t afford the £7m transfer fee required to meet his buy-out clause which is why Sanchez is now on the radar. Scouts watched the 30-year-old in action at this summer’s Copa America and a formal bid is expected to be lodged in the coming days.

I wan't us to keep Gana, and if we do we have no need for Sanchez. £3m is a nice sum for Sanchez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
