tonyh29 Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Tbf to Richard, DS was pretty much nailed on as far as I was told. These things happen in football no? No he wasn't we signed Westwood instead. I sorta lose track but Wasn't Stephens "signing" January window ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brumerican Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Why is this particular Twitter revelation any more or less credible than all the others. It included the following modernist term. #credible When the yoofs use that pissed up noughts and crosses grid you know some shits going down.

omariqy Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Stephens was oh so close in signing in the summer of 2012. Chairman played hardball with fee right until last minute. Stephens was confident he would go in Jan instead. Not sure why it didn't happen tbh. On topic - What other AMs could we go for apart from Belhanda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Mohammed Ali @mohammedali_9348m According to Abu Dhabi Sport Channel, Montpellier's Younes Belhanda is in the Emirates to talk to Al-Jazeera (the club) - what a waste. Was retweeted by French Football Weekly who's pretty reliable on all things French. What a waste indeed. Although a move to the UAE could be for many reasons (religion, money, living closer to family), I find it incredible that he would move there so early on his career and especially being as he said he wants to play in England. Quite a shame really and a genuine 'waste' of somebody who could become a very, very good player. As I said though, if he has his reasons then fair play I guess. Birmingham is much much closer to Morocco than Abu Dhabi. I don't think he would not come to Birmingham for religious reasons after spending a few seasons in Montpellier. I think it indicates we are unwilling to meet his terms or his club's, or are simply not interested. well he was born in France so im sure Birmingham is closer to France than UAE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skarroki Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 if any of this is legit then there is a chance he is meeting with Dubai clubs to try get other interested clubs to pick up the pace a bit and put in a firm bid. I don't think we're gonna be one of those parties but i can see this alerting someone in germany or italy for example and getting them to react and make the bid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenye Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 No quotes. If we were in for a player we would want quotes, so why does that change when there is an article ruling us out? There has never been one quote about us not wanting him. Do not believe what you read in the Birmingham Mail. Has anyone thought of it being a smokescreen, telling the paper to report that to keep all the fans calm so they are not too disappointed if this transfer doesn't happen. Simple fact is we are in for him, mark my words! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samjp26 Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Maybe accepting the €8m bid is to show the price they will accept. Honestly, €8m is a bargain and if were haggling over that sort of price then I'm baffled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its evident that we are interested, or at least have been to some degree. €8m is less than £7m and for that price I assume we will now see a flock of Prem teams coming in. Nearly halving his valuation within a few weeks is crazy though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biskitt Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 I know Lambert may have baulked at paying €12-15m but I do hope we're in for him at €8m. That really isn't much these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it'd more a case of we may want to remove the wages of Ireland / Given / Bent before we make an investment in a player of this type. But I wouldn't want to come across as all ITK and upset some sensitive souls! Edited June 25, 2013 by Richard 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
