Avenue Saint Posted 13 August, 2014 Share Posted 13 August, 2014 If we value Morgan at £30m, I would take the Romanian CB, Dembele and Townsend in a straight swap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitzhugh Fella Posted 13 August, 2014 Share Posted 13 August, 2014 As I posted yesterday, I've heard we're in pole position for Townsend, but have no intention of it being part of any Schneiderlin deal.....yet. "I've heard" is a wonderfully emotive, self-important three words to utter but everything depends on the reliability of the source from where you have heard your information. It could be your cat or it could be you have an actual source at the club who has loose lips. Forgive me for thinking right now that your info has more likely originated from the former rather than the latter. But even if it is the latter then the fact he is spilling beans to a mate who posts on forums makes me think your source is not reliable. Sorry.

If these are your expectations you will never be satisfied. They want rid of him and if he wants to stay in the Prem then no-one who finished above us would take him. Didn't know about Clasie, just assumed that as he wanted out of Feyenoord and was Koeman's captain he might be gettable. Those aren't my expectations btw (thought we might get Hernandez but apparently he'd rather warm the bench at a 'top' team) and I'm not dissatisfied with Long per se, only for £12m.

Cheeky Monkey Posted 14 August, 2014 Share Posted 14 August, 2014 BOTL, Sorry fella - its not a tragedy. Its not great news - granted. It Disappointing even - but its not a tragedy. No one has died, we are not going out of business. Life goes on and we still have a good team to support and will have new players in in coming days/weeks that will start a new era. That new era may or may not be as good as the last 12 months - but quite frankly compared to where we have been and compared to the plight of other teams we have a lot to be positive about if we take a step back and look at objectively. At worst we are experienced a "correction" driven by market forces in terms of the shape and size of our club. Its not a tragedy ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hypochondriac Posted 14 August, 2014 Share Posted 14 August, 2014 LOL so wait till Sep 1 And when it gets to September one we will have long posts from certain posters assuring us we are so much better than last season and how well we have done in the transfer market.

Polaroid Saint Posted 14 August, 2014 Share Posted 14 August, 2014 You're not the arbiter of what i view as tragedy.Having the majority of our best players sold including Cork with several others chomping on the bit to get out counts for me. Yes he is. In the same way you are entitled to your opinion and to express your view, so he is allowed his opinion of your opinion and to express that too! He IS judging you, we all are, (we can't help it as it's what humans do). But we can stop hiding behind 'but it's my opinion, so there' or 'well it is what I think, whatever' etc. It is childish. If someone determines that you should not view Jack Corks potential departure as a tragedy then you don't have to listen, but they ARE allowed to determine that (they CAN make that arbitration). Personally I agree that it would be a tragedy, but can everyone please stop getting so stroppy about protecting 'their own opinion' is if it is somehow sacred!? Cheers.
