VillaCas Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 in that case we should of signed a couple of players by 2nd january we all know (except paul maybe) that we needed new additions, hes had half a season already to decide who he wants/needs, why didnt he have players lined up for the beginning of the window? we may be better off by now considering the last couple of games Every club works in the same way - identify targets well in advance of the window, speak to agents and clubs to gauge the fee and wages demanded. Then a game of bluff begins - at the start of the window demands of agents are high whilst they have two or three clubs chasing the player, as the window draws to a close, agents demands are often more reasonable. Sissoko has started by asking £75k a week which no one is currently willing to pay. Next week it maybe £60k, if no takers the week after it might be £50k. If we want him we need to hope his wage demands get into our range before someone else is willing to deal at a high price. If we can't do a deal on our top targets we will then try some of our lesser targets but that will probably happen closer to the deadline. Don't blame Lambert for the delay, he has made his requirements clear - we are waiting on PF to do some deals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelle Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 So, do people find it likely that he'll come here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabby Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Robin Bairner @RBairner #Marseille will try to use € from Remy deal to secure #Sissoko from#Toulouse. He wants €2.5m per year + bonuses. Decision expected today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smetrov Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 So, do people find it likely that he'll come here? Depends on what offers he gets - gotta say I reckon we wouldn't be high on his list of preferred destinations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 So, do people find it likely that he'll come here? Depends on which club caves into his demands first, as VillaCas indicates. Sissoko really could just wait until the summer and run his contract down if he wanted if nobody stumps up the wages now. He'd also have a better idea of who didn't get relegated. That's one of the reasons why people need to keep things in perspective when it comes to doing deals in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightoffyour Posted January 17, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted January 17, 2013 (edited) Robin Bairner @RBairner #Marseille will try to use € from Remy deal to secure #Sissoko from#Toulouse. He wants €2.5m per year + bonuses. Decision expected today. So thats €50k = £45k per week (I haven't checked exchange rates, this could be completely wrong) + bonuses. Sounds like his demands have dropped to something more realistic. Edited January 17, 2013 by fightoffyour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 could be that he wants to stay in france for the moment, so will accept less cash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCforever1991 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 (edited) And the fact that Marseille have a chance of getting into the CL and winning the league, we don't. Edited January 17, 2013 by AVFCforever1991 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 well farken offer him 55-60k and get him here. Bloody hell. I think were waiting for bigger clubs to buy their targets.. and Sissoko may be a back up target ie Arsenal want M'Vila.. if they dont get him they get Sissoko. So Sissoko waits for them.. and we wait for him before we goto our 2nd choice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nabby Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Perhaps we have - and thats the stumbling block Wouldn't surprise me , Pardew has said that Newcastle's current problem no one will sign as they are near the bottom last season players were jumping at chance to sign.

jat_r Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Yet Remy signed for QPR. Offer the right wages and put in a clause so if the team is relegated they can leave for a cheap fee and I'm sure we could get players in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudevillaisnice Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 (edited) Not sure why people are surprised, I doubt he was ever an option for us looking at wages/fees. We'll probably get a loan player in if that.. sad but that is where we are now as a club. The new Wigan maybe.
