MagicMushroom Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 (edited) Express and star also said that tonev talk had cooled , next day he is being pictured at BMH, he is a new journo taken over from Abrahams so don't think he really has much clue what is going on My bet is that any negotiations are now close to finalisation and we are simply being careful we dont get gazzumped at the last minute, as you pointed out with Tonev. If you mention a premier league club to engineer interest, then it would not be us! How this plays is anyones guess, but im 100% sure that we are interested.

Ponky Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Didn't Kendrick come out and say that no bids had gone in and none were likely to go in for a week - two days before we signed Tonev? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, 2 days indeed Order of business: Paul Lambert unlikely to start making #avfc signings until next week at the earliest So yeah, he also makes mistakes everyone..

Newry_Villan Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Did we not say last summer we where not in for Vlaar only for Vlaar to make us apologise before he signed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And why mention us and not somebody like Arsenal alongside that of the type of calibre of the other sides mentioned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As mentioned before, too much smoke on one side, no quotes on the other. Whats all this smoke business, technically Kendrick was right as Tonev deal won't be completed till this week. On one hand, you have the Montpellier chairman telling the media that there had been a bid from us, then the player himself specifically spoke about us and acknowledged that there was interest. Then there was all the twitter gossip about our people meeting Belhanda - taken on its own, it's not much. but when you couple it with official acknowledgement of our interest from Montpellier, the case for our interest in the player is much stronger. On the other hand, one quote-less and very dubious newspaper article, plus tweets from Kendrick, which are not always to be trusted (as mentioned before). Doesn't the fact that you had to use the word "technically" make Kendrick sound less trustworthy? "Technically" is a term that's used almost exclusively to suggest that something is ambiguous without being strictly be wrong or untrue. It is possible for someone to "technically" say the truth, while simultaneously deliberately throw people off the scent. (Just to illustrate my point, it is "technically" true that no signings are made until Jul 1. But would you, for example, trust an ITK who claimed that Villa would not sign any new players until Jul 1?)

legov Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Why 75k? Surely he's not on that sort of wage at Montpellier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hes not going to say anything different! But, if the right opportunity comes along that suits all partys, would he be right in passing it by? Lamberts famous for talking in riddles, so lets see.

tarjei Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 I don't know what he's making but I can't imagine it would be too high for an Engligh top flight club to outbid. Also, taxes in France are harsh. (75% vs 49%) Or is that still to be introduced? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROTTERDAM1982 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Belhanda/McCarthy, whatever, i think we will buy a young up and coming player for around £10-15m.Its the kind of player we should be signing, and i think PL has earned the right to purchase such a player. Regarding wages, RL has always stated that he is willing to pay big wages to the right players.Did'nt he offer £100k per week to Our Ashley to try and stop him going to Ure.He will do it if PL says its the right player.
