Pardew Confirms "No Striker in Jan"

Imagine if we bought him back as well! We'd be paying even less

 

Every player in the world has a price, even a Messi bid got accepted for 100 mil.

 

and he has already had Pardew give warning that any buyers can expect the same re Tiote. Who still has over six years left on his contract and is hardly the sort to throw his toys out of his pram if refused a move.

 

I was thinking this If we bought him back for 10mil, does that mean we'd get like 2mil back then?

Maybe it's Carroll's master plan. Play **** for the scousers and then engineer his move back to us and become awesome again.

 

Caroll was always ****e.

 

He couldnt get any worse

 

5 and a half years left in January. They'll have to buy that, then our valuation which we'll want up front, then add ons and a sell on percentage. It will cost an absolute bomb and we have that with every player!

 

Exactly. And if we get another 30-odd million cash up front for Tiote, who's complaining? I wouldn't be too bothered. Pardew + Carr probably have a replacement in mind just in case, so it'd be entirely different to the Carroll situation too.

 

I'd love it if we had this hidden agenda the whole time. It'd be basically a stupidly expensive loan which didn't even work out as the player's been ****...i want this to happen so much now, just because we'll have essentially robbed the scousers

 

Who's going to offer up the money? None of the big 5 clubs need a holding midfielder. Man United aren't even going to sign anyone.

 

Came out and said that it was all a plan with our board and everything after the move back. He would be a hero for that

 

Still don't believe it's possible to force a player out of the club either, without some form of consent.

 

Only if he started scoring again too though

And he'd probably be on the bench, anyway

 

Which is why it would take a fool to be so definite that somebody will splash enough cash to make it happen. A sensible person acknowledges that there is a possibility but that it is not that likely.

 

He'd be a different player if he came back. It'd be his boyhood club, the fans he used to be a part of etc. Not like at Liverpool as Lawro kindly pointed out but didn't admit his heart isn't in it there.

 

This would be perfect! Even if he didn't score, the sheer cheek of it would make him an instant legend in my eyes

 

Like I say this fool will have you throwing out the red carpets come Feb 1st.

 

The Torres wasnt involved with Spurs £20 million bid

 

Only Chelsea or City are that stupid, but City have De Jong, Barry, Toure and Chelsea have Essien, Romeu and McEacheran. I can't see either being tempted.

 

Exactly. Which is why i'm chilled about it either way. We keep a great player who will still have a massive value next window as well or we get the sort of cash that can be used to help step up to the next level.

... or the cash isn't reinvested and the MA loan gets paid off a bit speeding up the possibility of his exit.
