Especially as they've just signed Jérémie Mathieu from Valence as well, same profile CB/LB, roughly the same price 20 million € can't be far off 15 million £. Mathieu is 30 and he's had a bit part career really. Amazed that Barca are in any way interested in him, mind you given the shambles that their defence has looked on occasions since they've not had Pujol I guess you can understand them wanting to multiply their options.

nigh on 3 years.

Good fee for Celtic then, won't be our number 2 at that price.

I am not fond of gab artists, lounge lizards and the like.

it's not even factual really, who do we have from outside the EU now, Tadic and Maya, that's about it isn't it. Taider is French you know, plays for Algeria, probably because he isn't good enough for France but then few are really. Oh yes forgot Victor, but he's a commonwealth citizen all the same.

koeman doesn't get told what to say to the press..yes right you are.Didn't listen myself because well I can't make any sense of what he actually says really. Wait for the précis to appear on this forum, far easier;

Well the club aren't going to publicly admit that he's refusing to train with the others now are they. They never publicly admit anything negative,don't forget they told us Chambers was "ill" when everyone and his dog knwe he'd being at a medical visit at Arsenal on that day, fortunately for us we have a couple of insiders who tell it like it is; Pity VMAN went off in a huff because Lallana got slagged off, probabuy unjustly, Weston too.

No they didn't offer 10 miilion, it was 10 million + 2 players by all accounts but Krusty just forgot to mention that bit no doubt. 10 million, Holtby Chichires, it's all out there, then they tried Chadli but he doesn't want to know and we want CASH. We always want cash, loads of it to not spend on new players you see. Saving it for a rainy day I expect.

Right...

Oh I doubt he worries about money, frugal lad by all accounts. Then there's his WC earnings(93000€) that will see him over a couple of difficult months. Who knows the FFF might even give him a loan if he's a bit short for the milk bill.

Pascal Boisseau, same as Gervinho, Jeremie Mathieu, Rudy Garcia etc. Hard case agent.

Not about Krueger I wasn't, dislike the man intensely, less he has to do with our club the better I like it.

Not me, the less I hear from him the better I like it.

Indeed, all it needed was for Krueger to say ..well nothing, that would suit most people I think. He needs to just p*ss off or get some new commercial business in, which is what he's supposed to be doing if I remember correctly.

the peanuts he probably gets from us will quickly be caught up once he gets to a better club.

oh I think they already knew that, the whole episode is totally avoidable if only Krusty had kept his trap shut, that's his problem he can't, it's what he does, gabbing.

A two bob bit was a nice coin, you felt that you were someone if you had a few in your pocket.

Apparently not because koeman said it wasn't finalised, perhaps it's just the player's agent trying to push us into a corner.

And a promise is a promise,

But they are committed to what Krueger has said. If either player is sold before the 2nd September then Krueger's position becomes untenable. He went out there on a limb in what we can only surmise was a panic attack and now there is no way back for him, what is more he repeated it again this week although that may have been a pre-recorded interview at about the same time as the other one.

that is bad news, knew he felt injustly treated though, must be far more to it than meets the eye because I don't really think he's that sort of bloke as a rule.

Why do I think that ? Good question really but I'm not at all sure that Koeman sees Taider as the sort of player he really wants, probably because as of yet he knows relatively little about him and his usual position is not an area we're short on.

Perhaps they should make that fact known to him then, just now I'm sure he feels trapped at Saints by virtue of Krusty's nulle prosequi speeches on 2 occasions.

Who knows, perhaps something has upset Ronald's apple cart today or he doesn't want questions about players he doesn't yet know much about.

Well no, we'll be signing him I expect, that's what the Romanians are saying isn't it. Unless of course they know that he had his medical yesterday and are just assuming that to be the last step before actually signing for the club. Honestly I don't think Rojo wants to play for us at all, hope I'm wrong there though.
