    If Ashley is this business genius that many fans go on about, surely he would be looking at a swap deal of some description. Kranjcar would be perfect!!!

    He said he can go on a free, how the hell do you negotiate a swap deal for a player who is supposed to be free.

    The board can quite easily move the goalposts if they wish. If both Spurs and Arsenal enquire about Barton and Spurs offer a player in return as a sweetener/to out-do a rival club, NUFC then have reason to say to Arsenal "Sorry, he was available on a free but we've received a better offer".

    Yeah but they wouldn't offer a player of any value. They would just offer 500k or something.

    I think his hatred of Barton would cloud his judgement on this one.

    When you give away a £4m player for nowt, just 'cos he upset you, you can't be much of a business genius.

    What the guy does know is how to buy failing brands, and make them profitable by having the stuff made on the cheap somewhere in the Third World.

    What the guy clearly doesn't know is how to run a football club!

    We miss tricks every day in football terms, we arent nearly savvy enough to ask for Kranjcar or even a good youth player in return.

    Harry Kane
    Adam Smith
    Andros Townsend
    Danny Rose
    Kyle Walker

    Any two of these would do quite nicely. <ok>

    1. We can afford Taylor, Swansea offered him more money than we were prepared to for a reserve player.
    2. It would be a swap deal for Kranjcar, so funds are irrelevant.

    Wouldn't mind Kyle Walker AND Bassong..Only if we were going to spend on a replacement for Barton.
