But were signing a CB.........

We are?

Rumours from twitter suggest our bid for Samba has been rejected and they want £15m.

Cue our management having a collective crapping of pants and banking the money into a high interest account, no? :lol:

Isn't Gallas on his last year (2 year contract?) and we dont know how long King will go for, so we could be losing 1 or 2 CB's at the end of next season.

If Bassong is still wanting to go, bring Samba in as his replacment and then next season (If he does well on his loan) Caulker in to replace Gallas.

That would/could give us:
Dawson
Kaboul
Samba
Caulker

and maybe King :shrug:

Bassong wants to leave because he doesn't play enough. Will Samba be prepared to play as a back up player? we will get the same problem with Samba. It doesn't make sense.

Gutted the scouts weren't watching me tonight. Flicks turns one touch goals

I'm a fucking scoring legend still. Sign me up I'll play for a brass, the cage at faces and a bottle of DP.

Anyhow - Benzema? He was quoted as 'I won't move to arsenal....'

He mention us? Pipe dream but you. Never know.

But were signing a CB.........


Brilliant


"My place is at this club," Benzema told L'Equipe.

"I have never talked to My Wenger or anyone else.

"I want to enjoy success here. I have found my self-belief. This season, I know we will win titles."

Slim, none, and slim just left town.

Football Agent 9 just tweeted Blackburn want 15m for Samba. U guys still want him? 15m? bit much I think.

And this is why the market is effectively shut down, except of a few big signings and a lot of "year left on contract" moves. Otherwise, every club (this includes us) wants way too much money for their players but don't want to spend anywhere near other clubs demand.

Blackburn balked at 12 million pounds for Pappis Cisse from Freiburg but then ask for stupid money for Samba.

This is why Levy has to wait. The market is feeding off a few big transfers that don't reflect the overall economic realities for most clubs.

He called the mata interest plus the real madrid deal way before anyone on here

Have no idea when any interest was said, but I posted about mata quite a while ago, along with samba too, and a few others.

I didn't know who samba was ( didn't realize it was the defender) and didn't know who mats was either!!

I'm fucking useless!

Can't understand Samba signing, he would be the new Bassong, but without the potential for re-sale. Why are we spending anything over 4 mill on a 5th/6th choice centre back is beyond me.

Our scouts need to sort there shit out. Sorry just watched an episode of Treme.

Sandro was from Ian Bloomfield no?

Indeed, don't think he has found anyone else though.

The talk was that he spotted Leandro Damião. Maybe he just scouts the one team.

I just don't get this - how young do the players have to be for it to count as the club's scouting system, in it's widest context, doing a good job? If we ignore all of the players in the team ATM who were signed under 20, and Sandro/possibly Leandro, what is the situation at present?

We have Walker on the verge of the 1st team; Caulker looking likely to be integrated into the 1st team squad next season; Naughton on loan with the same opportunities and chance as Walker had last year; talk of Harry Kane having the raw materials to make it; the possibility of Townsend being given the chance to step up; and we have just signed two young strikers (Callaloulos-fella and Couly-billy-fella). And that is just off the top of my head - I know Redknapp is talking up other of our young players, and blooding them in the Europa as well.

And Danny Rose.

I would kinda think that if we introduced 1 player from the younger ranks at the club into the 1st team every two years it would be good going.
