Not even 7 including adds on if you believe L'Equipe...guess we didn't want him after all. If we did it would have be signed and sealed long ago if 7 million was all it took.

More money, less waiting, what's not to like ? The player's father gets involved as well I think. As I said the other day, if it's got anything to do with the OM best leave it be.

Didn't read post 48 then...:rolleyes:

so how does that exclude Tottenham, he's said himself that he wouldn't mind playing with Vertonghen again. If they bid more than us he'll go there I expect.

Risky..

From L'Equipe this morning. Si plusieurs clubs anglais ont manifesté leur intérêt pour le Lillois Idrissa Gueye, l'OM cherche aussi à attirer le joueur de 25 ans. Comme indiqué dans nos colonnes, Vincent Labrune, le président du club phocéen, a proposé 9 M€, bonus inclus, pour le recruter. Des discussions ont eu lieu lundi après-midi entre les deux clubs alors que l'international sénégalais, lui, est séduit par le projet marseillais. Marcelo Bielsa, pour sa part, a donné son accord pour la venue du milieu. Basically this says that the OM are interested in Gueye, Marseille and Lille have had discussions, 9 million € all in including add ons and the player is interested in the OM "project". 9 million€ isn't a lot of money really, surely we've bid more than that.

Not really, they'll just have to apply for residence permits again, same as we all did before about 1990. Plenty of non-EU nationals live all over Europe, it's just a couple of bits of paperwork more. As it is any EU country can still expel any EU citizen (except their own) if they do not possess enough for subsistance and have been there for less than 5 years..

I thought 5 years was the maximum length for a "CDD" for footballers in the UK

Isn't Blind the appointed heir...they have that sort of system I think.

Well logically Madrid, that's where he's employed at this moment in time. When they report back I guess he'll have to be there unless he's sold in the meantime. If not he's in breach of contract...

25 man squad is OK but 8 HG in it is just nonsense because it's obviously not working. A club involved in Europe can have 1 set of players for the PL and a different set for Europe. Big clubs will continue to buy up all of the better players anyway, HG or not HG. We probably won't even have 8 HG senior players next season either if we carry on going the way we're going.

Because the non-HG is 25-8 but the HG doesn't need to be 8. 20 players is quite enough anyway when complemented by young players who can easily actually be 22 rather than U21. Totally useless rule as all the top clubs don't have 8 HG players anyway.

Well as they're looking for a buyer for him anyway perhaps we could get him in part exchange for Clyne. Brendan doesn't rate him at all...probably a decent player then. Liverpool are now running after Illaramendi from Real...well if ou believe the Spanish press that is.

If you say so, I've seen him play a few times and I wouldn't though.

Excellent bowling all round today by the looks of it, even Wheal has got a couple of wickets, pity he had that wayward over that went for 12 or 13 yesterday because his figures wouldn't be all that bad otherwise.

Probably because the Arse won't pay the asking price...they never do, unless Wenger gets a bee in his bonnet and they think they landed the deal of the century.

Well no, he's signing for Porto. His dad said so last evening. Praet is an AM I think I read somewhere.

matter of opinion, Clasie is too small for the PL, even his compatriots who post here say so, Gueye may or may not be somewhere around the level of Jack Cork, if he was that great then some "big team" would be signing him up for a knockdown price of 7 million surely.

Which names would make us stronger then ? Genuinely interested...certainly not Clasie or Gueye, unless we go to 3DMs that is.

No brainer really for a young player, CL football straight away, it's the grail for them all you know.

Oh for the good old days when gents played football and rugger to pass the time whilst training to be barristers and doctors and then gave it up when the little woman said they had to be home for tea on Saturdays.

Not really PSG pay their players huge amounts net of tax. It's Qatari money anyway and they don't give a toss because they've got more than they know what to do with.

Metro is a sort of rehab for distressed journalists isn't it?

West Ham are also supposed to be running after Abdenour, no doubt offering about 50P

A whole 10 million euros..wow big money...
